PIREPs by Brice

Easy and friendly airport, but you need to email ahead for a PPR to arrive as they seem to want to manage it with airline traffic. With the CTOT I got, ended up arriving just as an airliner was leaving though... I got parked on the grass apron. Be careful, it's a bit confusing how to walk back to the terminal, we cut it too short and people told us off, so need to walk all the way to the fuel station before crossing the main apron. Went for a weekend and note that while most car rental are closed on weekend, Entreprise is opened on Saturday and I could rent a car and return it Sunday in the key box, which works well for a weekend

I know there is a recent report, but updating as it seems the landing fee and handling price just increased. Otherwise very nice and easy airport, We first walked the Cliff Path, which is very nice and finished with a taxi to town. I had downloaded the Guernsey Taxi app, but that didn't result in any taxi accepting my request. I called a taxi number on the web, that resulted in a taxi coming within 10min

easy and friendly airport, great views when you arrive (if weather is good as it was for my visit). Approach to 19 is quite tight with the hills just before the runway, came in with a bit of offset and it worked fine. Fuel quite expensive.

Visited Luxembourg to break a flight, spent 5h there, had time to have lunch and do a quick tour of the city, which was very nice. It's not cheap, but it was on the bucket list of some friends who were with us... Taxi came in 10min, nice lounge for the passengers to wait. Security a bit intense everytime you go back and forth to the plane you have to do full airport security check, one passenger was even subject to a random check with bomb detection, etc... The AVGAS truck had a jammed hosed, so that delayed us a bit, and ultimately had to do it before departure (with a bit more wait, as truck takes about 10-20min to come to the plane). Overall, mission accomplished, we saw the city and my friends were happy. Cost for handling includes 3 passengers, landing take off fee, admin, Ppr fee, nav fee, but I simplified it as handling fee in the report...

Easy airport, automated gate entry, they will check your passport and license by video to get back to the plane. nice town to spend weekend.

All PPR and organisation done via my handling website. Very friendly and helpful staff. The parking ramp was not in great condition, so the staff kindly suggested they will help me pull the plane to the main apron to start it there... Used it as base to visit Loire Valley from the UK and was quite efficient.

you pay landing fee at the booth with the fireman. His computer system was down and he looked up the fee on some table, reviewing other reports i now wonder if he made a mistake, as the price appear to have come down…? But i entered here the price he charged me. while there is a notam for compulsory handling, this does not apply if you park on the grass (I also had confirmed this by email)

Stopped there for lunch, was expected a 120eur combo for the mandatory handling, but they charged way more for all sorts of things. Complete rip-off will never go back. Flight/approach has great views.

Dreadful experience. New updated website highlighting new management, so i decided to try again. Given my previous visit resulted in argument and charges above my expectation, I asked for a quote for a stay over christmas to visit family (5 days) and compared to LFQA (which requires a stop for custom). Got a quote for 190 eur for 5 days, which was steep but given convenience of direct flight vs my typical LFQA visit, I decided to try. After leaving, i got a mail with an invoice for close to 400 eur, saying, “we made a mistake in our quote”!!! I argued but just got increasingly unpleasant email complaining I always argue on price (yes, last time they charged compulsory handling even though public price says not necessary) and this time they charged me more than the quote. They also explicitely told me i was free to use other airport. Not a single apology for the error not to mention a small discount gesture… Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me… not going back

I had to dropped some passenger in Olbia. Handling was outstanding and very easy. I departed alone, but it seems they charge extra for departing passenger but not incoming. They rented a car, and Sixt is available in the terminal and all was very easy with the car brought to the GA terminal. Avgas was very expensive and inconvenient, need to taxi far from the `ga apron and wait for someone to come. I would definitely plan to avoid refuelling next time if possible. Flew from france, so great views along corsica and of sardaigna on the way in and out

The airport had quite a bit of renovation work and lots of notam, but as of now (phase 4 activated) it seems all completed and no more restrictions. The runways looked great, the GA parking off E in front of the tower all accessible and empty. As usual very convenient airport into Paris from the UK, drive a bit far but time wise it's really not bad as highway for a good part of the trip, especially if going west of Paris. Today I was going east, but still made it in about 1h.

as before a great place to stop, ultra friendly atc and crew. Note that there is a new 24h PN for custom, I often stopped there coming from switzerland and now you need to PN 24H ahead, while before it wasn’t the case. This is only for intra-shenghen, as extra shenghen not authorized.

The grass was quite high and soft, but manageable during this visit. Handling gives you hard parking, you can reserve this using my handling website and ask to taxi to Tango apron for handling. If you get handling they will drive the fuel truck to you, but they told me that in busy season it maybe faster to go to the self serve pump than to wait for the truck. On my visit the self serve pump with CB didn't work, but when I tried to use it they drove the truck to me to refill. I did multiple movements they charge you the landing fee package each time (26eur). For immigration as I came in as pilot with no passengers, they didn't need to check anything they told me nor get details ahead, only if you have passengers. That was quite surprising to me. Great airport with great view when you come from the sea.

Very helpful ATC. commonly used for instrument approach practice, they charge 28GBP per approach, you need to PPR ahead of time for a training block time

Easy airport, but now it is strictly PPR. quite a bit of training activity.

Very friendly and easy airport. Very friendly and helpful staff. good for London access on the soutwest side. Probably good to get a briefing by phone before coming the first time, it's not hard but quite a bit of airspace around the airport.

Easy airport, great city. Note it's not really handling, but they drive you from the aircraft to the terminal, and it cost 15eur per way

Very easy airport, lots a big planes (army refueler) parked on the main apron, they put us on a side apron, and a Marshall with a car was waiting for us, drove us to the terminal and back at the end of the day. Quite quick, easy and all in 18EUR (no handling ). Uber came in 10min and quick ride to the city center that is well worth a visit with roman building, shady tree lined avenue and good restaurants. Highly recommended for a day trip.

They will not charge the handling fee when you do your qualification you only pay one landing for that. Itherwise handling is mandatory. Very interesting approach, and completely understand why the qualification with a local instructor is needed...

A new terminal just opened in April, very nice facility, lounge and friendly staff. Quick turnaround and city is a great place to visit. The border officer seem to be here all day, when I asked on arrival they told me they were flexible if my return time had to be adjusted. Don't know if it's always the case, but useful.

Easy airport, quick transfer to the old town that is very pretty. I put as handling passenger fee, 10chf x 3 passengers. The parking for GA is quite tight and small. I was lucky a few planes left as I was refueling, would have been tight to park later...

had to drop someone, went IFR, they still charged you for the approach even though the field was IFR and it wasn't training. So 35GBP landing fee + 31 GBP approach fee. ATC friendly but beware when you leave IFR they will leave you hanging dry and you'll have to workout your way through airspace and join. Was expecting hand over to farnborough, didn't happen, when I asked the reply was "You are on your own"

Very friendly and convenient stop halfway from north france to south france.

Used it as a stop to clear custom. You need to give notice, the airport operation took care of it. They were ultra friendly. Because I am French, they told me border police wouldn't come. Did full stop, walked by the terminal, confirmed with ops and left...

Used it for custom stop on way back to UK. Airport ops took care of notifying the custom, very easy. Small airport so quick taxi/parking/terminal access. Ultra friendly custom officers were there when I arrived (within 10min of ETA). Very smooth.

Great friendly airport with a 11500' runway and no landing fees if you are below 2t... Staff ultra friendly, perfect for a quick stop for immigration and fuel crossing france from the UK for instance as it's right in the middle! Also easily accessible quite nice restaurant and hotel 5min walk across the road.

Great experience. Got ramp checked but it was very friendly (of course all was in order with the paperwork). airport and airspace very busy. Got the ILS runway 22 and it brings amazing views on Paris, as it comes right a the edge of the prohibited area, so need to be careful to not go off course...

Parking a bit away from the terminal, but call the airport to get a bus to carry you and your luggage. Ultra friendly. Note there is a traffic control fee (sky guide) in addition to the landing fee for each movement.

Great friendly stop on the way to south

Great place to stop, easy access to beach and restaurants around propriano
