Pilot notes (3)
Right-hand circuit only (left hand too close to EVRA). To enter or leave the CTA, climbing above 1000 ft, get permission from Riga Approach on 129.925. Can get out via a VFR corridor at 500 ft AGL along the Daugava delta, crossing the extended centerline of EVRA rwy 18 perpendicularly. Visually clearer on the Latvia VFR chart: https://ais.lgs.lv/page/VFR_Suport Also, watch out for a motorised deltaplanner (pictured) whose main job is to scare tourists (rented using gift cards).
Worst VFR weather months: November and March. Runway is usually not cleaned from snow.
Runway is concrete, and ok. Taxiways rough. Only 4 km to Riga downtown. 25 euro landing fee for Echo class, for a day of landings. Everything under Riga control zone, so stay under 1000 ft…
