22R IS A HOOT

If your comming in from the North, you start with a track reversal (to get you pointting back at the coast, then on a DME arac or radar vectored arac to intercept the 270 inbound (090r) VOR at about 5 or 6 miles you do a right break (after the posh houses on the headland) as you make this turn you can't see the runway or even the airfield this is now a visual apparoach! as you head towards the beach you then do a split arse turn on to finals and make sure your pointing at the right runway, not the taxi way after that its easy except when wet when it can be very slippy and my notes say the PAPI's can be obscured by sea spray

Other than that and all the French RT and choppers its a walk in the park
