1. Introduction
Samos is the island airport with the most notorious landing approaches in Greece. It involves pure
“stick n’ rudder” demanding hand-type of flying in between mountains, without navigation
instruments guidance, moderate or higher turbulence due to terrain, the FIR border just on the
airport’s pattern and tight turns short before lining up for last stage of final approach to land.
“I have operated for years into some really demanding airports such as Gibraltar, Innsbruck, Madeira, La
Palma. But Samos approaches are still at the top of my list as the most challenging and exciting!"
- Giorgio La Pira, A380 Pilot (formerly A320 Examiner)
These are only a few of the reasons why we have decided that this challenging and interesting
airport would be the perfect addition to our Greek island series following Mykonos and Skiathos.
