When flying this airport, set your weather to REAL and as close to the actual time as possible. Have a look at the windsock picture – I kid you not!! If you thought you can fly with a little wind – try here. 40 Knot W to NW are pretty normal here, after all this island is situated right in the middle of the ‘Roaring Forties’
