Local procedures

  • A 3000 m runway at 5 m elevation, next to the sea: density altitude is a non-issue, and the take-off distance available is not what limits you — the climb gradient is.
  • Coastal field, so sea breeze and a strong diurnal wind shift are the planning problem, not terrain.
  • Runway 05/23 is aligned across the prevailing north wind, which makes crosswind practice the realistic case here.
