New British Airport Opens - St Helena FHSH

See here. They got it figured out at last.

Who’s going to be the first to try it out? Maybe a job for @loco?

The next flyin

EIWT Weston, Ireland

They don’t provide METARs yet.

The next alternate is 1300km away. That requires quite a bit of fuel.

Does it have Immigration?

Curiously you probably can use the IMC Rating there. I clearly recall reading some old CAA reg saying that all UK licenses and ratings were usable in British territories e.g. Falklands Islands.

Customs and Immigration: On request (Available for Scheduled Operations)
Fuel/Oil Types: Jet A-1; AVGAS not available; Oil nil

From what I know, it’s one of those weirdo places that are kind of part of the UK but not really so it is not member of the EU. This means every flight that is not a local flight will need customs/immigration and it is probably a PNR thing. Otherwise it would be inaccessible to anything but airline traffic which can’t be true because for sure the local mafia will have at least one capo capable of affording his own jet.

I updated my SD maps as soon as I read about this, but it’s not there yet.

Nice. It even has 5 approaches in JeppFD. I’m currently planning a bigger trip in November/December, but it would be too far to reach directly from America and I understand FHAW is not accessible to tourists.

Been there, seen it, done it. Our company did the navaid calibration.
