What other pilots say about EGPB
Language:
Due to marginal weather, flew to Sumburgh instead of Lerwick to have an IFR approach available if needed. Ideal for practicing crosswind landings. After shutdown, please put on a hi-vis vest and walk toward the terminal to pay the landing fee (20 GBP). The fuel truck arrived shortly afterward and sold us Avgas for 2.93 €. The airport is located well outside, in the south.
Overall recommended, with friendly ATC and accommodating ground staff.
