Benbecula inbound advice
We are planning to fly from the south coast to Benbecula to see the in-laws who live by the beach at Sollas. Unfortunately we can't get there for the official Sollas fly in so are planning to use Benbecula.
Due to fuel planning we are going to stop at Oban to tank up. We had also wanted to drop in to Islay.
Regarding flight plans - does a full flight plan have to be filed - i.e. on paper, with a one hour before departure requirement, or can the flight plan be made verbally with Scottish info in conjunction with the PPR inbound Benbecula with an eta?
I am aware that one hour can pass quickly whilst re-fueling etc etc but it is a time requirement that cuts down our flexibility.
Finally, if anyone has an aviation contact on North Uist who is knowledgable on the landing restriction at Sollas, or advice in general when operating in this part of the world, then I would be greatful.
Thanks.
