There are no controllers, but there is highly trained person in the tower, dispensing altimeter settings, and traffic information, and generally doing everything a tower controller does except issue clearances and instructions.

LSSG is busy throughout the day, and because there is only one runway, delays are often incurred in bad weather. However, no runway closures are anticipated during the EBACE event as all demo flights will obtain slots via normal channels. Bern (LSZB) can also be considered, but the runway length is only 5,674 feet.

For example, if we were to takeoff on an airfield at sea level at 0C (32F), it would take 1520ft to reach our obstacle clearance height of 50ft. Whereas for the same airfield on a different day, if it were 30C (86F), that same obstacle clearance height would take 1880ft. That’s an extra 360ft!
