Event Details

Leeds Bradford (EGNM) Perched on a plateau and surrounded by rolling Yorkshire terrain, Leeds Bradford is known for: - Strong, gusty crosswinds that keep pilots honest - Shorter runways compared to many major airports - Rapid weather changes thanks to its elevation and exposed position - Challenging approaches, especially from the west It’s an airport that rewards skill, precision, and a steady hand on the controls. Zurich (LSZH) Zurich Airport brings its own flavour of complexity: - Three intersecting runways, each with unique approach profiles - Strict noise‑abatement procedures requiring accurate flying - Terrain‑influenced arrivals, especially from the south over the Alps - High‑density traffic, making timing and spacing critical - World‑class winter operations, keeping everything moving even in heavy snow It’s a place where professionalism and finesse shine. Elevate your status as a pilot Whether you’re wrestling crosswinds at Leeds Bradford or threading the needle through Zurich’s precise procedures, you’re flying at airports where altitude isn’t just a number — it’s a mindset. So go on… Climb to new heights — literally and figuratively.
