Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of operating into this airfield?

I will be operating a winter charter into the airport in a BAe146 and would appreciate any first hand advice or comments on the problems associated with the airport especially concerning the Wx.

Many thanks...

Approx. 2 years ago Sun-Air of Scandinavia Operated a Winter Charter to ENDI, you might like to speek to their Flight Operations Manager for details. The airport has (or had) certain restrictions on departures on the "towards terrain" runway - daylight Vmc only. Also when circling from the localizer to the opposite runway you will be close to terrain due to the outlay of the airfield.
The approach is non radar, so you are on your own and the dme-arc has fooled many.
Also take care of speed control in the procedure, avoid being "hot and high"
It might be wise to "visit" geilo in the sim!
When the Wx is nice - it is beautiful.
