Calvi is a category C airport. Both pilots must be qualified in a flight simulator before being released for Calvi ops. All approaches and missed approaches, balked landing procedures and escape procedures are trained at max allowed wind components and without auto thrust to increase workload.

I was a passenger on BA146 flight from Edinburgh to Calvi via Nice in 1993. We could see the plane was flying up the valley with the runway on the left and the mountains on the right. Then what seemed to be a sharp left turn at the top of the valley followed by a beautiful descent to the runway. By far the most impressive landing I have ever experienced.<br>Airport security at Calvi was provided by a couple of six foot tall French Foreign Legionnaires from the local base, armed to the teeth!

It's always the potentially most nondescript airfields that have the trickiest approaches.

I flew the circling as a passenger last Sunday. It was an amazing experience. Today I’m flying back home.

Hitting the minimums like 2-3 miles out is wild.
