Event Details
he unique of this airport lies on the geographical position and especially challenging position of both Runways (09-27) of "Aristarchos of Samos" airport. Runway 09 (length of 2.100 meters) is used for the approach of the airport, whereas Runway 27 is used very rarely due its proximity with the Ankara FIR and the avoidance of the extra fees from the industry companies operating to Samos, and also for the strong windshear on final approach, especially when there are north winds, quite common in the area. Terrain particularly the mountain volumes near the threshold dictates as needed the approach from the south coast with east heading on 1500 feets AGL. When the plane crosses the threshold, begins on the open left turn for a modified base leg heading northwest, followed by a close right turn for the final leg of Runway 09 while it must descent.
