Gothenburg City Airport is a small airport with general aviation. <br /> | |||
The airport handles a large amount of Bizjets, VIP flights. '''Until November 2014 it also had a fair amount of Ryanair and Wizzair flights. They are now all moved to the nearby Landvetter Airport (GOT)'''.<br /> | |||
The main runway is 01/19, and in the past there was a shorter runway for general aviation 04/22 which is closed now.<br /> | |||
This PDF file shows the airport, runways etc. ''https://www.aro.lfv.se/Editorial/View/1660/ES_AD_2_ESGP_2-1_en'' | |||

===Terminal=== | ===Terminal=== | ||
Inside the small terminal there is a cafe where you have pretty good view of the runways. | Inside the small terminal there is a cafe where you have pretty good view of the runways. You can also stand right outside the cafe for a good view through a fence.<br /> | ||
This is taken from the veranda on the roof, just above the café. | |||

==Other Spotting Locations== | |||
===GA Area=== | |||
Beside the terminal, there's a flight school and behind this is the GA area. Not much happens here, although occasionally you'll be able to get a nice head-on shot of a prop: | |||

===End of Runway 19=== | |||
If you drive or walk from the terminal towards the threshold of runway 19, keep going 100 meters after passing the runway. There is a small road leading up on your left. <br>This will take you to the approach lights and a great view of the runway and terminal. You can be aligned with the runway under the approach lights and get good shots.<br /> | |||
{{anetlink|848361}} | |||
===Touchdown Runway 19=== | |||
There is a good spot on the right hand side of runway 19. Just walk next to the fence until it ends, very close to the touchdown zone on runway 19. | |||
The light is best in the afternoon at summertime for photography. | |||
== | ===Security Gates=== | ||
Just left of the terminal there is a big gate with fair space in between so you can get a good shot of taxying aircraft. | |||

=== | ===Alleby Runway 01=== | ||
If you drive towards Alleby there is a Riding ground for horses. Just next to that is the threshold for runway 01. | |||
Either you can shoot them on approach, like this:<br /> | |||
{{anetlink|876512}} | |||
Or you can shoot them rotating off runway 19, like this: | |||
{{anetlink|793944}} | |||
Also possible, although a little walk is needed, is to shoot them from the rugged terrain on the right side of approaching traffic: | |||

==Locations to Avoid== | ==Locations to Avoid== | ||
=== | ===End of Runway 19=== | ||
This spot is excellent, but security can chase you off here as you are only within 5-10 meters from the active runway. | |||
But you can get away with it, and get GREAT shots! | |||
