To be honest the parking and the instrument approach look ok, the parking especially. But the landing fee is about twice what one would expect so I guess that's your most expensive bit. In the good old days the lady at Islay would engage visiting pilots in witty banter just to get them over the two hours free parking and then sting them for £3 or whatever it was in those days.

I like the MTOW-based landing fee, especially when the splits are at the tonnes. My Chipmunks are 998kg - I get very suspicious looks from fee-takers when asked MTOW and I give them that figure before they've even finished asking. There aren't many Senecas on the register either above 1999kg - I wonder why not? (Actually I know that answer). Was your landing fee MTOW-determined? What would it be for 999kg?

Apologies for thread drift - don't know of any up here as steep as that landing fee, which is around twice what I'm used to paying.
