I think the only aid is Eyeball Mk1. It is still used although at the moment they are storing parts of a windfarm on it. September 07DispatchDragon wrote:Dave
You can add some scenery to a new afcad with the likes of Rnwy12 Object Placer or ASD - However you will need
Flattex by Mario Corallo which is a very simple Flatten and exclude tool prior to placing the AFCAD
I found this photomap of the airport -

Does anyone have a copy of Pooleys with "Isle of Skye Airport" in it - I'll be glad to lay something out for our friends at CBFSVA
Looks fairly simple runs paralell to the shore - doesnt look to have any aids

I had better luck googling "Ashaig Airstrip" - Its best claim to fame seems to be hosting the Isle of Skye Music festival

Re: New routes
You answered the one question I had - which were the runway headings = you couldnt read them on the Aerial shots of the field
If you gents would like - I'll bash it out when I get home from work

Thats interesting - according to Pooleys it has no lighting - yet the couple of photos I found quite clearly show runway lights :doho:

Re: New routes
Yep saw that Garry
I guess I have been in the States too long, Im used to almost all G/A airports in the US having runway lights (usually radio activated)
It might explain the wind farm parts maybe they are planning to run the lights off those :roll:
There were a couple of newspaper articles I trawled up that talked about expanding the airport although looking at the O/S map on the
east end there seems to be a cemetary or historical marker and on the west end it goes into the bay, I must admit from the photos I trawled
up the scenery is totally breathtaking

Re: New routes
There is at least one Microlight based at the airfield. The hangar seems to be like a Grrenhouse tunnel but white. In all the years I have been going to Skye I have to admit I've never been down to the airfield.

Re: New routes
Hi,
Managed to dig out a few more snippets of info. If we can get a freeware version of Broadford then the routes from Glasgow and Inverness will be added for the Islander and Trislander.
See entry for 1972
Pic of Islander at Broadford
Some airport history inc duration of Loganair flights
