Use without flying a helicopter
Monaco does not have an airport for fixed wing aircraft but that does not mean you can’t
enjoy this scenery without flying a helicopter. Most obviously this scenery is a perfect
destination for a sightseeing flight in a small aircraft, but also when you approach the big
airport of Nice (LFMN) you will be able to enjoy the scenery. For example on the Visual
Approach from the north/east where you will fly right in front of Monaco. This visual
approach ends in a VERY tight circuit and is a real challenge for any pilot.
Or when you approach Nice LFMN runway 22R and 22L via the SALEYA or the VOR/DME
“ARZ” U/S approach, you will get great views of Monaco as nearly all approaches to Nice
Airport have to be done over sea to avoid flying over populated areas. As with the Visual
Approach, this approach ends with a 90 degree turn very near the runway. When you
have the option, add the intersection BORDI in your descent to the airport. All departures
from Nice towards the north/west over LEZ and CGS will put you over Monaco.
