Last year LIMA had a NOTAM and was closed to non based aircraft around August 2021. When open it’s a very nice and friendly airfield, no fees, AVGAS (no JET!), restaurant and local INFO can arrange IFR pickup with Torino RADAR. Approach is low and right in the city, spectacular.
As alternate LIMF has a dedicated GA terminal, vip lounge, hangar parking etc… used [email protected] while LIMA was closed. There’s something in the AIP about prohibition of single engine operations during night time.
Indeed LIMA is a good, hassle-free and landing fee-free field during normal operations hours. The approach above the town is cool (non standard circuit but easy).
The only attention point is that take off is not allowed from runway 10, only from 28.
If tailwind is not negligible you’ll have to wait before you can take off (it happened to me once, but just for few minutes).
Yes, but in the 10 months this has been my base, I have never had a single day with any significant easterly wind.
