if youre coming in from bexhill, get the atis before you get to brighton marina, first call should be G-XXXX inbound, then when they say go ahead just the usual calls, if its rwy 02, they may give you left base and ask you to call the tunnels, they are on the A27, if not happy with that, ask to join overhead, standard 2000' descend deadside to circuit height 1100, the papis are set about 4 degrees cos of the high ground, beware of possible sea breezes on that runway, the upper wind may be northerly, but the sea breeze would be a reason for using 02.
nice cafe, bit of a stroll to the beach though.
park into wind on the pumps, southern pump for avgas, northern for diesel.
when you depart, get the atis and first call "g-xxxx outbound. "
ps wear a yellow tabard!
