Go onto the danish AIP site and download the brief on Varga.

Lovely people there and very friendly.

The waterfall approach is really fun to fly and scenery is stunning.

When you look at the turbulency plates thier light is proper light turbulence which the yanks would be screaming for a level change. If it says moderate it really is ruff as hell, head off the roof and struggling to see the instruments.

Usual wx patterns is windy as if its not raining it soon will be.

But don't let me put you off it really is a wonderfull place to visit.

On departure don't be worried about decending after departure and running along to the rocks before banging up IFR if you don't have to climb performance for a IFR departure.


O and always eat fish there.

And the last time I was there the ladys in the airport information were just simply stunning sexy classy ladys.

And the lady in the tower hilarious when her brother started giving her grief on the RT ( he flys one of the local bus service choppers)

And just be a bit canny listening into the procedural approach from Iceland a couple of times they had us pointing at the same point as another aircraft at the same level.
