CR2, as I recall you are a Cargolux dog,so no need to tellyou about the high terrain etc. The runways OK,although 0.5km shorter than the Jeppesen plate states.... When they say the airfield closes at 1800Z they mean just that, at 1800 the tower lights go out together with all the airfield lights and its goodnight. This literally happened tous last week. The aids all seem to work as advertised, and the taxyway markings, lighting etc are of a much better standard than elsewhere in Africa. If you need anything specific send me an e. (For those not used to the high terrain in Africa, its quite a salutary experience sitting in a commuter plane which has 18,000 in the alt select window, and noticing that the radalt is at a steady 1,000'......)
