We are happy to present to you our newest event format! With “Staff the Minors”, we will staff different Minor Airports in different regions in Switzerland. Each time, enjoy 3 medium and smaller airports on offer which we are happy to open for you. This time we will start with Staff the Minors – Romandie on the 16th January from 13:00z to 16:00z. Come and fly IFR or VFR at LSGS, LSGG and LSZB.
Sion – LSGS
Located in the Rhone valley, Sion offers some impressive mountains around it to be explored in your favorite GA Aircraft. If you are up for some challenging IFR approaches, Sion is definitely your choice. With the interesting IGS or RNP approach, you can enjoy some awe-inspiring views of the Valais and a unique challenge for yourself. Leave your B747 in the hanger, Sion can only handle one A320 or B737. Make sure to be prepared with a good briefing and charts on board.
Geneva – LSGG
Being the second largest airport in Switzerland, “Minor Airport” is probably the wrong term. Able to handle almost any aircraft type, you can fly in with whatever you prefer. Explore the scenic Lake Geneva or head to Sion over the narrow Rhone Valley. Fly some VFR patterns and then enjoy your trip over the different lakes, with some touch and goes at some smaller airfields along the way to the capital of Switzerland, Bern. Come with charts on hand.
Bern – LSZB
Welcome to the capital city of Switzerland! If you are coming from the French speaking parts of Sion and Geneva, you are now over the so called “Röstigraben” and have entered in the German speaking region of Switzerland. While runway 32 is active, prepare yourself for the challenging City or Romeo Circling over Bern’s Old Town and make sure to have charts onboard. Again, only aircraft up to the A320 and the B737 can be handled at LSZB. But who needs an A340 when you can explore the scenic landscape between Bern, Geneva and Sion in something smaller?
We hope to see you on this Sunday afternoon from 13:00z to 16:00z in Swiss airspace!
