Hi
If you fancy to test your skills, take a trip to EKCH today (now) as we have a snowblizzard here ;-)

It looks downright peaceful there!
I tuned in ATIS while I was there, and they said that visibility was ½ mile, but there were no clouds below 20,000 feet??? :think:

So where is this 'real world' then? :think:
Do you think perhaps it is somewhere I should visit?
Maybe I wouldn't fit in :sad:

It is Copenhagen Airport's down-sign. as the airport servers apparently are overstressed...!:
Snowfall and a strong wind causes irregularities in the traffic
Only one runway is in use at Copenhagen Airport due to snowfall and a strong easterly wind. Delays and irregularities in the traffic must therefore be expected.
Please follow the development in traffic on this site

Hey Dan,
I hear it was real fun and games at EKCH last night - a mate was on a Scandy Mad Dog back to LHR which was deiced .............. taxied out ..........held while the runway had to be treated again ........... deice expired ............ taxi back............... deice again.............2nd time lucky. Delayed a couple of hours. But at least you guys can deal it - if that had been EGLL last night nobody would have gone anywhere
Cheers
