International Airport Salzburg (LOWS) IFR

Did IR training in Salzburg today. Multiple training approaches must be coordinated with ATC in advance; details in the AIP. For short stops you can park in front of the tower, so no Follow-Me shuttle is required. There is a small lounge with coffee and water for crews. Chocolate bars and soft drinks are available for purchase from a vending machine. The practice common in Germany of starting before the startup request (to preserve the battery) is not appreciated; better to request with the handheld here. The handling fee has been removed again, so a small turnaround is about 60 EUR again.
