We often nominate EDDH as an alternate but I have never been there. I know there are two long runways - do they have any preferred runway and are there any restrictions on using either of these? Can you expect any delays when they're using one particular runway??
I know I can look at the plates etc. but I'mm off work and in any case it would be good to hear from people who operate out of there regularly!
Thanks!

Went there last night for the first tme. 05 seems to be preferred but they were using 15 last night due strong winds. After a terrific turnround (thanks chaps) and an on-time arrival back in London we had to wait 30 mins for a %^^**&&ing bus to pick us up at Heathrow.

EDDH, RWYs 05/23, 15/33 offering following approaches:
05: CAT1, LLZ, NDB-DME, RNAV
23: CAT3b, LLZ, NDB-DME, RNAV
15: CAT1, LLZ, NDB-DME, RNAV
33: LLZ+DME, RNAV
Prefered RWY combination (wind permitting) is 23 for LDG, 33 for T/O (expect departure from RWY 33 intersection I-North, T/O shift is 316m).
At nighttimes (again wind permitting) often LDG RWY 15 due to noise abatement.
LDG RWY 33 is very rarely used (personally, I landed only once there during the last 5 years).
APU usage is restricted to 5 mins after on-block.
That is all I can remember at the moment without looking at my Route Manual.
