Inverness Airfield (EGPE)

A recommended and safer route for light aircraft travelling to and from Inverness Airport is to fly East avoiding the mighty Grampians.

Going over the mountains, whatever the weather, is not only risky but very uncomfortable (I was told!)

I flew from Dundee NNE to Banchory then Insch (VRP's for Aberdeen) this takes you on the edge of their ATZ and you will need to request zone transit from Aberdeen when flying through here. When overhead Insch turn West along the "Whisky Trail" via Rothes to Inverness.

I considered this a much better route over safer terrain and closer to populated areas with more suitable diversion options available. Flight Time approx 1.5 hours.
