The schedule time for this Loganair hop is 2 minutes, but I've wondered what that actually comprises not having done the route.

If it's start moving to stop moving, can't see it being achieved in the time. If it's wheels up to wheels down then it seems not the way schedules are normally shown.

And it must vary by wind. Into wind you should make a very straight and short hop, with wind you presumably have to circle round both islands.

If doing it direct, do you really have the time/space to make a stabilised approach ?
