Can anyone share insights into best ways to land at Virgin Gorda? Looking at a villa and thought it would be easier. Thoughts?

Thank you all!

You want to make sure you are right on your proper approach speed and that the throttles are at idle as you touchdown. If you are not down by 500 feet past the end go around! Medium braking unless you see the end of the running coming up fast! TIC

You might have meant hiring someone else. I would use these guys flying out of SJU.

You have to get permission from BVI gov't to land at VG. I have been trying for 2 years.

You would think they would like private aircraft to land. I am sure they would tack on a sizable landing fee which could go to airport improvements. Is ramp space a issue?

What George said! Tradewinds has the nicest planes IMO. Cape Air also flys into Virgin Gorda as well. And finally you can also charter IslandBirds for a private flight.
