2.23.1    Fuel Depot

A Fuel Depot is situated within the outer part of the runway strip, 120m from the centre line and on the north edge of apron. See Aerodrome Terrain and Obstacle Chart - ICAO (Electronic).

2.23.2    Birds on and around the airport

For safety purposes startup will not be allowed when another aircraft has lined up on the runway.

Greylag geese and Swan are the most common bird at the airport, the birds arrive and leave at a similar time. The only difference is that the Swan doesn´t nest close to the airport.

The birds arrive in the beginning of April and stay until the end of June, then return in August and leave in the end of October.

There is a number of Greylag geese that lay eggs within the airport, most of the nests are close to the river Lagarfljót and in the bushes east of the runway.

It is estimated that around 100 to 150 pairs lay eggs on the riverbanks and islets of Lagarfljót, north of the runway.

The Greylag goose like to stay on the hayfield south and east of the runway moving on to the river during night.

Special attention is drawn to the fact that around the airport and in its vicinity are trails that people use both for walking and for walking their dogs.
The danger is that pedestrians and dogs scare away birds in areas around the airport which more often than not fly towards the river and thus over or near the runway, the arrival- or/and departure routes.
