INVERNESS/DALCROSS - TWR 122.6
On A96, northeast of town. Write to, or email, the Airport
Manager, HIAL in advance for access, this is well worth doing. If you are unable, then exit the terminal
and turn left. Follow the road to the
end of the terminal and turn left at the roundabout onto a dead end track. At the end of here is a gate, it’s a public
right of way and the runway threshold is only a short distance away. Go through the gate and the South apron is
to your left. If you go down the road
as far as you can there is a cycle/footpath that goes to the right and all
around the approach lights. Follow it
around and you will arrive adjacent to the 05 threshold, which is the best
place of all. It takes no more than 15
minutes walk. Website http://www.egpe.vze.com/. For airport parking visit
