Very simple really,
airborn at night you have to have fuel to get to the ex French protectorates or you don`t go there.
You do not rely on anything. I have bribed atc there from FL250 in the hold but that info is on a need to know basis only.
Gave a brief on radio to a Swissair A340 pilot who couldn`t compute the procedural approach one day - had to he was in front.
Nobody has mentioned the downwards dip in the only ILS - at 500ft - that has rattled some experienced crew in the go-around whilst visual . . not to mention the pax.
Anyone out there remembers the poor sod in the bamboo cage west side of NAF base ?
Not a figment of any imagination,
Be good now girls


Sorry ladies
forgot to mention, the Lagos VOR isn`t exactly where it`s supposed to be. Who`d have thought it
