Hello Again,
With reference to what "Report@Boddam" said,
I maybe should have pointed out that I wasn’t actually going to land on RWY33.
I was actually cleared to land on RWY27 and as I was approaching from the south I decided to go Behind the hill.
To then turn final for RWY27. Sumburgh Airport and HIAL have just invested in a multi - million pound Runway extension on the RWY27/09.
The picture below shows the new extension completed. This extension is to allow greater flexibility for the Loganair Saab 340’s and also BAe 146’s that may venture into Sumburgh.
I would also like to say how good it is to get involved in a discussion on here, especially when its about your local airport
As some of you might have seen this is an incident that happened in Shetland just yesterday,
Its worth checking out lol::
