Erbil International
I flight to Erbil International (ORER) in Iraq is coming up. Does anybody have any information on this place - especially approach plates (didn't find them on Jeppview)?
Is it safe to fly there?
Thanks for any advice!

Hi
I flew to Baghdad in the early days where only a taxi chart was available
totally unsafe...but what a hand-flying experience
My guess is that Irbil is definitly safer than Baghdad

Thanks everyone for the hints - especially the DHL thing!!! 
I know that it's not going to be safe as our mother's laps, but at least we don't have to stay overnight.

Erbil is safe, not to worry. I flew in there on a daily basis for the past 10weeks.
If viz permits you wont have any problems, people on ground very friendly and helpfull. ILS on runway 15, not published though. MSA 6000', some mountains to the east but not a factor.
Great food at wings catering just outside the airport, walking distance.
Enjoy
PS: no need to do a spiral descend.

Erbil was pretty safe 2 months ago, we used to fly for Iraqi Airways...You won't find any Jepp plates for this place, i can' t remember but there is a website where you should be able to get the charts try to type erbil airport on google or sometime like that 
, nothing special to do there but people are nice, you shouldn't have any problems... ustrian has 2 or 3 flights a week
learr
runway is around 8400ft with ILS and VOR, they are building a second one, control is iraqi but good
What type of bird you will be flying there??

Hi man,
I flew for IA under an ACMI contract which means Iraqi Airways was just renting the company I use to fly with, so basically I meet 2 pilots from iraqi Airways but I can't recall their names, sorry (that was in 2007 and I didn't spend a lot of time there)
