I will be at P&V on Thursday, not done arrivals before (been on Monday 3 years running, and always at East).
From Intellicast, it looks like the wind will be due South until around mid-day, then veer to SSE - SE - ESE during the afternoon.
So, if wind is South, will they use 27 or 09?? If 09, then I assume they will switch to 27 when the wind comes round.
If it is 09 in the morning, then I will go West P&V, how difficult is it to then drive to East if the runway changes??
Or do I just go to East??
TIA,
Mick

Re: Moving between P&V East and West
it's easy to drive, notwithstanding the amount of kit you have to cart back to your car!, just follow everyone else
As for the wind and active runway, just wait til it happens.

Thanks,
I'll travelling (fairly) light, all gear in one large back-pack (incl food!)
I'll check ATIS once in the area to decide which end to start at, I assume a 10 mins (or less) by car between the two?

Re: Moving between P&V East and West
Runway 27 is generally favoured for operational reasons, so there would have to be a significant easterly component to the wind before they would go on to 09. (Note that you seem to have your compass back to front - the wind swinging ESE would tend to move them onto 09, not 27. )sneezy24 wrote:I will be at P&V on Thursday, not done arrivals before (been on Monday 3 years running, and always at East).

Probably fat fingers - E and W are next each other on the keybaord, and my ultra fast hunt and peck technique often causes hilarity....
