I think it includes all the GA flights out of inverness but an hour of circuits counted as 1 movement or 2.

But most people think that a flight is one movement its not.

Each Takeoff is a movement and each landing is a movement.

Which gives you an average of 27 flights a day.

Week days scheduled its 22 flights and on SAT its 12 and Sun its 10. So 122 in 7 days.

And 67 GA flights +freight and the rest in 7 days so call it about 10 a day which seems about right if not low.

I don't know if they will have included the helicopters from PDG or not.

But its all way down since my day both scheduled and GA. And in them days all we had was a procedural tower controller.

They wouldn't need Class D if the current system in Class G wasn't such a complete and utter pile of bollocks and VFR traffic was deemed Separated from IFR and no stupid radar separations applied to traffic that can see each other. Ie like what its going to be like when they get class D.
