Couple more questions if I may. I now have the Jepp maps and the avioportolano charts and book. Boy, Italy is mountainous! And those mountains rise straight out of the sea in many places.
1. What is a good small customs airfield in Northern Italy if I come down through the Alps via Domodossola? Or alternatively one if I take the coastal route via Monaco.
2. Following the coasts South am I likely to get easy clearances through the many Class D airspaces I will have to cross? I am Mode C transponder equipped.
3. Is there a glossary of Italian aviation terms somewhere online: 'downwind', 'final' etc etc
4. What is July visibility in Italy, esp Southern, like? Does it tend to be clear or hazy?
Thanks a lot,
David
