Mysteries of Eurocontrol

Not sure what you mean by that – it has a perfectly fine approach, it even has a DME arc.

LDLO is IFR only when towered. Outside that period it’s VFR airport. So based on your ETA (day of week), you have to submit appropriate plan that includes switching to VFR at some point. Although you can file IFR arrival/approach (due to lack of implementation of this rule within Eurocontrol), ATC will warn you about this on arrival.

You may not be able to file an IFR departure from LDLO or LDSB if not towered. I had this problem. Arrival is fine; Zagreb or Pula radar etc will “invite” you can cancel IFR.

But you can easily solve it with Zulu plan and staring IFR at any of neighbouring points, in these cases VORs PUL and SPL respectively.

What’s that? IFR routing with FL105 and FL125 in it??! Weird…

I guess that will be FL110 and FL130 in practice.

The point is to get a validated route conforming to Eurocontrol and go fly. Everything else will be negotiated enroute with ATC 👍.

105/125 were the restrictions in this case. It would also work with 110/125 obviously.

I typed all this into Foreflight, filed it and…. it works!!! (Well, Eurocontrol accepted it). Many thanks. I hadn’t thought of the trick of specifying the altitude at ENOBA.

I guess on Sunday I’ll find out what really happens. Thanks to everyone on the thread for helping.

What happened to the routes I posted?

The outward one is what I’ve filed. The return one involves the long dogleg out to Corsica. It’s what I would have filed if Snoopy hadn’t shown me the altitude trick for going to BORDA without needing to file the whole thing at FL140.

Oops. This should read „…110/130..“
