Pilot Comments for LEVX

From a practical point of view this is a really good AD. No handling is required below two tons, Avgas is available and one can easily walk over from the parking stands to a staffed security gate. It’s a rather busy regional airport and rental cars are readily available at affordable rates. The location of the AD with green mountains to the east and the Atlantic to the west is beautiful and makes for nice approaches. Unfortunately fees are rather high. We paid 90€ for landing and three days parking with our Mooney.
The control tower is now operated remotely what seems to cause some glitches. When we requested taxi for a VFR departure, we were initially asked if we could change our fpl to IFR. We replied that we could not do that but if the ATCO would do that for us we had no issues. He told us to standby but after a few minutes we received our VFR clearance.
Vigo is not Spain’s most beautiful or interesting city but Galicia is spectacular in nice weather (not that frequently found, though).
There is now sort of an online process to pay the fees at all AENA ADs, it works as follows: First you have to ask OPS of the AD by email (see AIP for the address) how much you have to pay. Thereafter you pay via this website: https://www.aena.es/sites/Satellite?d=Touch&pagename=TPV_Pagos_Aeropuertos Then you send a mail to OPS again and finally you get the receipt by email. A bit tedious but this way you don’t have to to go to the office (what you still can, if you prefer).

LEVI (Vigo) is a regional airport with a small terminal, three jet bridges, and a dedicated GA area. PPR is required when arriving from an uncertain field, and ground handling may be compulsory or at least strongly encouraged, with several handlers available. Handling fees can be significant; Example: total charges about €130–€200 for a short visit, including handling, landing, security, and navigation fees. Lower landing and parking fees are possible in some cases; Example: landing and parking about €20–€40.
Fuel is available but considered expensive, with payment typically by Air BP card or cash; Avgas may require a commercial VAT number. Refueling can be slow but staff are generally helpful. No dedicated GAT exists; apron space should be arranged in advance by phone.
Approaches are straightforward with ILS, VOR, and NDB available; terrain requires attention on departure SIDs due to climb gradient requirements. Backtrack on the runway may be necessary. The airport sits on a plateau with sheer drops at both ends and is subject to turbulence from Atlantic winds and occasional morning fog or low visibility due to sea mist.
Access to the city (about 8 km away) is possible by hourly bus (L9A) or taxi (around €40). Car hire is available at the airport. On-field facilities include a small terminal; restaurants and hotels are located in the city, with specific recommendations provided for both.
Procedures for payment and access can be bureaucratic and time-consuming, involving multiple steps for security passes and flight plan filing. The apron can be crossed on foot after security checks. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
