Yes, it is a good, fun, approach. ATC is usually pretty good, and they have radar.

There is an ILS approach, and VOR approach to rwy 01, but during the day a sea breeze usually means 19 is in use, with a circling approach. If it is very clear it is actually possible to do a straight in on 19, but I've only done that 3 or 4 times out of over 20 in the last 4 years.

At night the land breeze means it is a straightforward ILS to 01, but some local operators can land on 19 at night with a tailwind if it is more expeditious. Most UK operators ban landing on 19 at night.
