Just landed there an hour ago!
Weather in the summer is good, tonight there was just some sattered clouds at 2300'.
MSA 5000' to the West and 11000' to the East due to mountainous area.
Arriving from the West via entry points Balma,Kukla or Silko:
-Arrival over the sea, you'll be radar vectored for an 8 mile final for ILS/DME Runway 18. Outermarker(BOD) is situated at the northern tip of Beirut. Minimum crossing height on a visual is 1400'.Mimima is 585 for a CAT C airplane due to some high buildings on approach. Runway is a bit hard to see at night as the lights are not as strong as the surrounding city lights. No approach lights on RWY 18.just PAPI.Runway 03 is used if the wind is northerly and it has an ILS/DME approach lights and centerline.If you are aiming for a greaser- the threshold area is an upslope!
-Arriving from the East you can expect a Beirut 1 Arrival.Due to hight terrain you will be cleard to 10000' 15NM East of Checka CAK VOR.Further descent only after crossing the VOR.At this point you will be hight on your profile for RWY 18 and you'll have to anticipate this.
If you need more info,no prob!
