Local Notes & Flying Tips

  • Severn Estuary Crossing: Routing from Cardiff (EGFF) south over the mouth of the Bristol Channel toward Dunkeswell gives you great visual views of Steepholm and Flatholm islands. Keep an altitude of 3,000 ft during the water transit.
  • Dunkeswell & Bodmin: Dunkeswell (EGTU) sits at 839 ft elevation on the Blackdown Hills, while Bodmin (EGLA) sits at 650 ft. Watch for moorland turbulence in the Comanche on windy days.
  • Land's End (EGHC): Perched right on the granite cliffs of St Just, Land's End is exposed to open Atlantic weather. Adjust your final approach speed to account for gusty coastal winds!
