Update on Brac airport:
Every 3rd landing in the same year for private flight of GA aircraft until 5.7 T MTOW is free of handling, landing and passenger service fees.
The above is not applicable for AOPA members (they must have valid membership card with them – we make a copy of as the explanation for the given discount) who always have a discount of 50% on handling, landing and parking fees. And from this year, a group of 5 and more aircraft obtains the same discount as AOPA no matter if they are member of it or not.
See? As I said, Croatia is in line with German doctrine regarding IFR in airspace Golf, which is contravening superiorr (European) law, i.e. SERA.
No problem there… I will try to find out.
Edit: found out…
I am just re-doing the picture galleries in the writeup. I have a trial version of Juicebox and it does up to 50 pics, so it does the little ones. It is pretty slick! The full version is pricey given I want it on my PC and a laptop, etc.
Did Split ARO also not accept your India flightplan out of Brac without ATC?
That’s what happened to me in May. Split ARO called me on my mobile to say that an India flightplan would not be allowed if there is no ATS at Brac, and asked me to change the flightplan to a Zulu one. The Croatian CAA copy&pasted lots of its airlaws/regulations (and beliefs) from Germany and Austria…
Thanks for the video. We flew later that day but we had a lot more weather to deal with going to BP.
And here is the last video – of the return flight
Vimeo downsamples everything to about 5mbits/sec but if you go there and select Download you get the full size mp4.
Yes it can be done with a little effort. But have to say that is a very interesting approach.
There are Major airports Ive flown into that have crossing runways. The controller asks can you land on X runway before the intersection with Runway Y? If you accept the landing your allowed to land. And they are busy with traffic.
It just takes training and a little effort.

Ive flown loads of IFR flights terminating in a visual approach. The controllers always set you up and a lot of airports have Visual approach charts take for instance JFK . They ask do you see the traffic? If so follow that traffic whether it is on an IFR or VFR flight plan makes no difference.
Check out the TIPP TOE and QUIET BRIDGE visual approaches to RWY 28 L/R at San Francisco Intl. The runways are too close to conduct simultaneous instrument approaches, but they can do visual approaches which increases the capacity. In that case the aircraft is vectored to the localizer or VOR radial and asked to maintain visual contact with the preceeding aircraft to the parallel runway, at exactly the same speed. Pretty amazing stuff!

If they can do that, surely they can figure out getting one airplane to land every 5 mins on a particular runway.
You’ve lost me completely. What are you talking about?
