Fly-in at Kavala LGKV, Greece
|
I expect to arrive in Sitia on 5th June...wonder if there's scope for combining!
Edit: A quick look at the map suggests not! |
EGMD-LGKV FL160
LYD Y803 DVR/N0150F110 L10 RINTI B3 RLP G4 HR/N0150F120 G4 HOC L613 DITON/N0150F140 N871 DEGES/N0150F170 N871 MADEB N606 ELMEM L607 VEKEN P735 ABISO L608 DOL L172 KOMAR L187 IDASI M867 RUDAR L604 RETRA Y400 MAVAR N132 TALAS B1 TSL M603 PEREN 1284nm. I could do it nonstop, though not with meaningful reserves given that no possible alternate will have avgas :) 1 stop in say Croatia is fine. I planned that in 2009 but quickly found out that I could not make it in 1 day due to airport opening/closing times. But this time round they have extended the hours so it can be done. However I plan to be in the area anyway. You will enjoy Sitia - a lovely place :ok: |
Wouldn't Portoroz LJPZ make a good place for refuelling?
|
Yes, down the Adriatic you have your pick of excellent GA airports:
Ljlubjana Portoroz (I am going there) Pula Losinj Brac Split Dubrovnik Then you have Pristina (Montenegro) which I cannot speak for. Tirana (Albania) has no avgas, and I don't recommend staying the night ;) Then you have Kerkira/Corfu (get written PPR always) which is the traditional customs+avgas entry/exit point for Greece. But for Kavala you don't want to go via Corfu; too much out of the way. Slovenia or upper end of Croatia is better. Losinj is a lovely island. And, the best bit, all the above avoids refuelling in Italy ;) |
I'm planning to refuel in Italy; I fly there now in confidence knowing what a friendly and helpful guy AfricanEagle is :ok:
|
The plan is Portoroz on 26th May for ~ 2 days, then Kithira LGKC.

AOPA Kavala Fly In 2009 I'll be there again this year. It is nicely set up by resident Egnatia Aviation. |
I just turned green with envy -looks like a great trip with a fantastic destination. (I also like the bit about fireworks being fired at and by the aerobatic team :eek:)
