Communication
Communication Frequency 122.0 MHz
Notes
The airport has Pilot Controlled night landing facilities. The lights are normally off and are switched on for a period of 15 minutes when Aircrew transmit 5 or 7 clicks in rapid succession on the communication frequency, depending on the intensity required (30% or 100%). Cloud break procedures are authorised onto runways 16 and 34, the procedures are fairly complicated due to the hilly terrain surrounding the airport.
