First trip to Bembridge
I am hoping to fly into Bembridge one week-end as soon as the weather improves.
Assuming that there is gliding taking place on the grass runway so there are no overhead joins I am wondering which would be the best approach for runway 12.
I will be coming along the south coast of the Island from the west via St Catherine's point and am considering a downwind join which would take me over the sea to the east of Bembridge village (to avoid overflying). However I am a bit concerned about aircraft taking off on 12.
Is this route generally acceptable or would most pilots join QNM at 1500 over runway 12 and then turn downwind?
