Spotting at Langkawi

Recommended Posts

Dear all,

I will be in Langkawi for holidays from 06JAN2011 to 09JAN2011 and would like to spend one day - Sunday 08JAN2011 for spotting at Langkawi airport.

Appreciate if someone can show me some good spotting locations there. Thanks and best regards.

 

Hi Nguyen...

 

If you check the first page of this topic, Yukihiro has provided some tips on some good locations to spot around LGK..

maybe you need a taller ladder since the airport authority has put up higher fence. Anyway, you don't need the ladder

at some of the locations... there are some high grounds where you can position yourself.

Yes I see, however I do not know where it is on the map.

Just to share during the 2009 LIMA about 4 of us walked from the terminal (upper most red dot) along the airport perimeter (clockwise) to the 2 left bottom spots.

Scanner is classified under control item,

and you need a license to use it... even though it can't transmit...

 

So I suggest you use it discretely if you still want to...

There was a case few years ago near KUL where 2 foreign spotters were caught

using the scanners and spent 2 nights in police lock-up.... :pardon:

Question for Norman: Noticed that you marked the Helang Hotel as a spot. Is there an observation or deck in that location? Thanks

If I'm not mistaken... you can spot through one of the corridors.... but you need the management permission or become a guest there

off topic; if we use scanner for a long period, how can 'they' detect us? i use mine quite long hours per day listening to BUTTERWORTH APP @ 125.800

Thanks Norman.

Just came back from Langkawi yesterday, and spent Monday morning spotting at the location you marked near the fence, opposite to the tower, and nearly 2 hours spotting in the terminal where I had very good photo of small propeller aircrafts taxing. No problem met with scanner. Will post photos later.

Enjoy...
