I assume you mean blinkz
yup the speeds are higer. For the nav exam I had to choose a flight level and so needed to work out the difference between the altitude and FL. Q codes are easy lol.
Yea we fly off the main runway most of the time. The airport appraoch is actaully quite far away from the water, on a normal approach we don't go near it. Non of the circuit training is done at edinburgh tho, its not allowed. We have to goto fife. We do fly over the water now and then but nothing like needing water survial stuff. When crossing the forth we usually cross at the bridges and so spend about 20seconds over water. Out over east lothians we do sometimes do exercises over the water, but right next to the coast so not a problem.
I wouldn't recommend coming to edinburgh since if you decide to visit the landing/handling fee will cost you upwards of £100.
