Comments
Swansea Radio doesn't always respond to radio calls, however the staff were friendly and didn't care that I landed with blind calls (on 6 occasions), so long as I had submitted a proper PPR via email - [email protected] or phone +44 1792 208182
Runway 28 has a considerable uphill slope to be accounted for and has a rough surface (prop strike hazard for low props)
Recommend using RWY 04/22 as it is longer and has a better surface.
Winds are strong in the area, and gusts of 15-20kts are frequently encountered.
If you need oil, stop into the flight school next door to the terminal building, they have basic supplies for sale.
