Vis Calls - Yes, it is right. I was referring to ptkay's statement that Ryanair often lands at EPWA when no one else does. This can't be more false, and no TWR controller at EPWA would say such a thing. My experience is quite the opposite - they hold when other a/c land, de-ice when no one would even consider checking their fuselage, and so on. A fellow controller from EPKT said that numerous times they held when wx was double than the minima for LLZ app. (I'm talking about ceiling/RVR minima, not xwinds). Sometimes I have an impression that ppl look at RYR's procedures and attitude towards safety thru their general attitude towards this airline as pax.

Of course, I cannot comment on what they do in DUB, maybe they feel more at home there.
