"bajadj" watchout because written text can easily be missunderstood and many Greek pilots are reading this forum ...
There is a considerable amount of paperwork to be done on each movement, which takes 1-2 hours in two separate offices ... ... and costs of about Euro 90.
IO540 1-2 hours is way too much for a wise pilot. Still though one needs to keep in mind that LGKR is a
very busy airport at summer time with endless charter airliners coming in and out all day.
It takes 45~60 minutes at a busy day from the time you arrive at the airport untill starting up engines.
The delay can be more only if the refueller is busy refueling airliners with JET-A1 since it is hard sometimes to drive back the the bowser and pick up the AVGAS one to serve you.
Some good planning ahead does help as you well know ;-) (e.g. refuelling up on arrival)
1. you turn up and get escorted by Olympic Airways handling to CAA office for payment of fees (~10 minutes)
2. you go up the TWR to submit FPL (~10 minutes) if you have not submitted it on your own via
www.homebriefing.com 3. you pay Olympic their handling fee at the main terminal (~10 minutes)
4. they drive you with their bus to the GA parking (~15 minutes with preflight)
5. If you need to refuel OA notify the rufueller at step 3. !
The costs are:
- 1.63 Euro per day for parking & aiport use (counts for all Greek airports in same calendar day)
- 17.8 Euro OA handling
- AVGAS 2.2 Euro/Lt
- 12 Euro airport tax per non crew member per departure (not for local flights)
So again 90 Euro's is not a realistic number unless you park for a month there and take 2 passengers on board next time for a cross country flight.
