Question Lissabon(LIS) Airport-never been there!

Hello folks,

can somebody give me some advice? Typical runway in use, shortcuts, windshear?

Thanks so much!

Normally vectored onto the ILS 03 at about 10 miles, approach from the ocean:

...over the Costa de Caparica, then over the river entrance with the 25 de Abril Bridge (the one which looks like San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge) crossing low over the city to touch down:


It's a lovely approach in good weather. If the wind is northerly then turbulence and windshear can be strong to severe on short final:


Controller standard of English is good, the approach to runway 21 is a straight forward ILS.

They will sometimes grant you a visual approach for 03 which is really nice in good weather. Just aim for the bridge.
