Flying to St Mary's
Was there last week in my TB10. Also went there last year in the Reims Rocket from Cardiff.
According to St Mary's, a Flight plan is not mandatory although, I filled one anyway on the way out but not on the way back.
St Mawgan is now known as Newquay and is not a MATZ any more. I flew from Cardiff down the West coast and called London on 124.75 after crossing the English Coast. My next contact was Newquay where I flew overhead then steered to the West of Perranporth where I picked up a heading for Pendeen Lighthouse avoiding Lands End. Newquay will pass you onto Culdrose who will take you through to mid channel where you will pick up St Mary's ATC. Keep on a heading for St Martins Head to join a 3 mile final for Rwy 15 or maybe down wind left for Rwy 33. If they are not busy they will let you fly around the Islands which is fantastic.
Runway 15 has a Hump in the middle which starts off level then drops off
downhill and is up hill on 33, which is no problem either way with the Rocket. Red Taxi bus is mostly there which costs £2 each down to the Town.
Hope you have a good time.
Dave.
