Back in EGKA – that landing was well done, Peter, right on the centerline … Meteo gave BKN006 but VIS 10+ when you landed …
( to be seen on Brighton Airport Webcam )
I got visual about 1000ft (MDA 800ft). The 600ft bit was fairly sporadic. I was going to do the RNAV02 instead and take the tailwind of 9kt (reported at 10m) and that was Plan B.
Outbound:
GS ~185kt
Return:
GS ~ 125kt
I do not want to see another plane for a number of days
Looks like you all had a nice trip! We may go to LESL this weekend (poor timing, but last weekend didn’t work for us) – any recommendations on how to get from the airfield to Mahon?
Very short taxi ride. Today I paid €15 for a taxi from Mahon centre, to Emir’s hotel to collect something, to the main airport. The main taxi there seems to be +34 971 367111.
It’s only a very short taxi ride. The staff at the restaurant will call one for you. Otherwise, google some telephone numbers.
Thanks @peter @boscomantico . We’ll try to join you all at the next fly-in!
Btw car can be rented as low as 22€ per day, fully insured. We took a bit bigger car for 25€, company representative drove it to our hotel and after two days we left it at airport.
Final bill from MTA Handling
1400kg aircraft, 3 nights’ parking. 2 people total.
Not cheap but the service was really excellent. Very fast, including taking us to the front of the passport queue which – following some airline arrivals – was into the hundreds. The operation is run by two English women who have lived down there for many years.
Does anyone know what these are? They were on Menorca
Aircraft position 40° 0’ 8.93" N, 4° 1’ 0.15" E altitude 614m and looking at a bearing of 205 degrees.

Mine was 6€ lower and I had 4 days of parking – customs was not charged nor did anybody check our passports – EU advantage (regardless not being in Schengen)
