European Airfields
Has anyone got any info?
I will be building some twin engine hours next week and as a result this will take me around europe. I would like to know if anyone out there has any thoughts or information (landing, fuel, customs, parking charges etc) on these planned airfields: Geneva Pisa Rome (Ciampino) Palma Barcelona Nice Le Bourget Any inormation woud be much appreciated. Cheers guys |
Are you seriously flying all over Eurapoe to build twin hours? Isn't that a very expensive way of doing it?
Forgive my questions but I'm intrigued :confused: |
Well, Toussous le Noble will be cheaper than Le Bourget and Valencia is cheaper than Barcelona.
I would also consider flying to Mahon instead of Palma. And where are the Channel Islands in your planning? Or is cost of fuel not part of the planning process? |
SRL,
Pisa: you will have to phone beforehand to reserve parking space, fuel available, fees not cheap. You might want to consider Siena (LIQS) as an alternate. Ciampino: no problems, but not cheap. You might want to consider L'Urbe (LIRU). You can check the Italian AIP on line here: http://www.enav.it/aip/aip_login_it.html Ciao, AE |
Unless you have a particular desire to land at unhelpful and/or expensive airports, you could hardly have come up with a worse list, with the possible exception of Geneva.
You should sub. Cannes for Nice in the same spirit as the other advice you were given. 2D |
...or replace Barcelona with Sabadell

Thank you very much for your responses.
Firstly, yes i seriously am building some twin hours around europe. Why? I have recently found myself in a position where I have gained access to an aircraft for a very good rate, reasons for which I will not go into. I would never dream of trying to build hours here in europe if my situation did not exist. Why Europe and those destinations? I could just burn some holes in the sky here in good ole blighty but I think that it would be much more interseting seeing something of europe. As for the destinations, the responses were exactly what I was looking for, i am not familiar with the areas and do not know all the airports. I probably gave the wrong impression with the use of the word airfield. I am looking for suitable airfields close to those planned cities. Why those cities? Why not?! Fuel planning does come into it very much, as for the channel islands, I am quite familiar with the areas and so did not include them on the list for information. Thanks again guys, I will look into those airfields when I get home. When I have finalised the route and flown it I will post the results for anyne who is interesed. |
