Hi Doc,

As Hamil mentioned, very easy and straight forward operation, especially since the Covid19 downturn. You can expect direct headings to the IF of even to the FAF, so be prepared for being high in the profile. On the other hand, you can ask for a direct before it is even offered and you will probably get it. When RWY15 is in use you can usually expect the wind coming from a leftish 45º crosswind, and, as mentioned, if 33 is in use you can expect some downdrafts. Note that both thresholds are aircraft carrier type. If you are not RNAV/RNP1 capable, keep in mind that there is no other IFR approach available for Rwy 33, as the VOR is out for months. Keep an eye open for unmanned hot air balloons and laser beams, the latter more often when landing on 15, from the left side.

Unless you are going to the main terminal building, taxi instructions to the cargo ramp are easy to follow. For the passenger terminal, they have many short taxi-ways with confusing names and long instructions (like "K2, K1, N1, M and x gate").

Enjoy the layover!
