22 arrivals occur about 10% of the time, about 120 days per year for periods of several hours at most (sea breezes) and occasionally all day with strong West/South Westerly winds. Ceiling and visibility are usually good except for a few days a year and then only for a few hours at most.
22R, 2570 m, is dedicated to landings.
Due to high ground the final approach is on a “fixed track”; MUS/NERAS-VOR/DME circle to land with prescribed tracks is called “SALEYA RWY22” on the ATIS and by ATC.
Due to obstacle clearance the minimas are high (8 km and 1500ft); under certain adverse weather conditions there is a risk of holding or diversion. To carry out this procedure aircrews should :
| |
• |
plan on extra fuel to compensate for the length of trajectory on Rwy 22 |
| |
• |
check speed and aircraft set-up BEFORE the visual phase of the approach |
| |
• |
be aware of marked high obstacles on the right of base leg |
| |
• |
note the very short final descent at 3.5°. |
At night, if these marked obstacles are not visible, the procedure is not authorised.
Presence of helicopter traffic between 0 and 500 ft south of the airport, between Cape Ferrat and Cape
Antibes. See also tab helicopters.
