re: amravati airport..
according to cag report almost all the midc's in amravati dsitrict are not developed by maharastra government those lands are acquired are just barren lands without any industries, so the need of developeing industries and cosntructing a operational domestic airport in amravati is the need of the hour and the report also mention that due to lack of water industries are not ready to come to amravati sez. so what the hell is government of maharastra doing.
Complain about Fighter Jets Overheads
I'm a resident of The Centris & have moved in for 3 years now. After the kite flying activity was stopped, the jets are flying lower.
Initially, the fighter jets were flying much higher in altitude but nowadays they are screaming over my Penthouse unit in Block 75.
Can you tell your pilots to fly higher? Thanks - Michael Lee (The Centris, block 75 #16-26)

re: amravati airport..
amravati airport and amravati sez are very important issues of developement in vidharbha, mihan in nagpur is a also a very important project in vidharbha government must complete these projects as early as possible for branding of mihan,AMRAVATI SEZ,AMRAVATI AIRPORT. lets brand maharastra rule in india, but after the developement or existtance of the things we can look/go for branding,right. you can show brand of uncompleted things.
AIRPORT CHANGED ???
Wowwww....How this airport has changed from my wonderful memories of it flying the RAF's AVRO Shackleton aircraft out of there from 1957 to 1960.......and the RAF's Handley Page MK4 (VIP) aircraft (the private aircraft of the British Commander-in-Chief Far East - Adm Sir David LUCE) from 1961 to 1964. THREE parallel runways now no less. What a wonderful airport now INDEED. Think the Control Tower is located just about where we used to take our young children swimming on 'Changi Beach'?

Visited the other day
Was a Friday. VFR and gorgeous day. Saw about 8 airplanes tied down. None of them looked like they were airworthy except a cub well maintained. Many had flat tires. The "FBO" was open but deserted. Some bottled water and an old broken microwave. No plumbing/running water. The hanger was locked but I could see inside there were some planes in there. In the one hour i was there, not a soul came by, drove by, or landed. My dog and I sat on the picnic bench and had some lunch. I was dreaming about turning this place into something that people could enjoy. Maybe a small greasy spoon eatery. Or give "Cub" rides on Sundays for $5 like the 30s. I hate to see small grassroots airports wither away, but such is General Aviation really. Not enough people interested to pass the torch.... Anwyay, hung out with hope, but finally departed to visit another lonely airport a few miles away - Newton. Even more deserted.
Corman Air Park
Corman Air Park is a small privately owned and operated aerodrome near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is open to the general public and is suitable for light aircraft of up to about 6 seats (2600 ft. runway).
Pilots are encouraged to fly here and the general public to fly in, drive in, cycle in, walk in...... are all encouraged to come out and find out what REAL aviation is all about.
Every year the Air Park is host to It's annual Fly N' Fair. It is really a "50 year past" event and is very reminiscent of what a real country fair was back then. It's a lot of very relaxing fun for everyone that attends.
It runs every year from June 30 to July 1 with a free and very spectacular fireworks display at dusk on June 30.
There is no admission charge but the Canadian Air Cadets are in charge of parking and they charge $5/car.
See the website at Google cormanairpark for more information.
A great layover on our trip eastbound
Good fuel prices, great town, wonderful food at Cafe Diva at the base of the ski hill
re: Fees and fuel price
Reply to @david: Rochester briefly flirted with forcing the GA traffic to taxi to the commercial side for customs, but after several "incidents" in the first week, went back to meeting GA on the GA side.
re: anyone flown into here from Canada?
Reply to @david: That surprises me because Alexandria Bay is a tiny airport compared to Watertown. It's also PPR, and not listed as an AOE by the FAA. I think that listing may be for boats. The FAA still lists KART as an AOE, and like most small airports you have to call the nearest customs office 2 hours ahead of time.
Fees and fuel price
Fees and fuel price for a piston single (2012-06-17):
No landing fee
Ramp fee $20 (waived with fuel purchase)
Parking $10/night (first night waived with fuel purchase)
100LL: $7.17 (changes daily)
Customs does not meet aircraft at the FBO -- she said it's necessary to taxi to "the commercial side".
Fees
For a piston single:
$7 landing fee (waived with minimum 10 gal fuel purchase)
$7 overnight parking
No ramp fee or day parking fee
100LL: $6.56/gal (2012-06-17)
re: anyone flown into here from Canada?
Watertown is no longer listed on the CBP web site as an airport of entry: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/ports/ny/
Customs may still be willing to drive down from the bridge, but there are nearby official options at Alexandria Bay (89NY) and Syracuse (KSYR).
Customs fees
The customs fee is $25 for a piston single or $50 for a piston twin (with landing fee waived). More information here:

Waiting for your reply. I will do my best to get you some photos.
re: $200 customs ramp fee
Reply to @ptomblin: 8 gallons usable (10 total) in a Warrior is almost double the minimum day VFR reserve even at 75% power and ROP. Personally, I normally land at TEB with about 26 gal usable (28 total), but that's because I'm flying alone and take off from Ottawa with full tanks. When I fly to NYC with my whole family this summer, I'm going to have to keep the tanks a lot lower for W&B, and I can see touching down in TEB with only 10-12 gal usable if it's good VFR. IFR or night VFR is a different story, of course, as is flight over mostly-uninhabited terrain like Northern Quebec -- I like to land with 2 hours in the tanks in those situations.
As you know from your Archer time, another advantage of the Cherokee line is that there's no "both" fuel switch. My rule (which, fortunately, I've never had to invoke) is that if I ever do unexpectedly run one tank dry, I will treat it as an emergency -- something went wrong with my fuel system or my calculations -- and I will use the other tank only to make a precautionary landing at the nearest airport (or on a road or field if there's no airport within 15 minutes). A Cessna's "both" position doesn't give you that kind of warning: when you're dry, you're dry.
Caution : para drop + gliders + helicopters + aerobatics + l
Radio mandatory (118.00)
Gliders use the Northern Rwy , pattern to the North, inside the broader pattern for aircrafts
Aircrafts use the Southern Rwy, large pattern to the North, encompassing the small pattern of the gliders.
Week-end & holiday para drop activity.
Frequency to use for crossing airspace
Use only 122.825 (App) to request clearance for crossing.
Other freq. might not be monitored

Reply to @prattsoplenty: I will reply you on next wednesday, please provide us the photos of amravati airport as early as possible.
re: amravati airport..
amravati airport must be developed in a record time to develope vidharbha and to sale brand vidharbha.if there is a will there is a way so where is the will of maharastra government. develope it and rule or else get away from vidharbha let it be a seperate state of power of power houses.
re: amravati airport..
amravati airport must be completed and made operational as soon as possible as the industries won't come to amravati sez without an operational airport in the city.
re: Worst and most corrupt airport ever!!!
I experienced the same just this morning. I felt like they delayed us intentionally because they even lost my boarding pass while waiting to be interviewed for which we do not know why, hence, the delay. Finally he came back to give me the form to be filled up and he said he got a new boarding pass for me ( like I have to thank him for that, duh..! ) . I told that same officer twice that we are going to be late on our flight but he just said wait for your turn " pakihintay lang po,kayo na ang susunod ". They didn't care at all. We patiently waited for our turn. E nauna pa kame s ibang na-intrvw na. They don't have a system. They only have one interviewer, who asks the same question over and over. And nung malaman nila na naiwan kame, wala silang pakialam.
And also be careful when paying Travel Tax, there was one personnel who came up to us and assisted us in paying our travel tax. He asked us to pay exact amount. I did not suspect anything, even if he told me that while waiting, one of us can go and pay the terminal fee already, and so I went and left my sis and my friend. After which, I asked my sis and my friend for the receipt, but they said he didn't issue a receipt. I got suspicious when they asked us to refund the fees as a result of not boarding the plane. The man who took our travel tax fee gave us the refund without going back to the queu or filling up a form. He just handed over the money and said " oh eto na ung pera , para di na kyo pumila ". That is why he didn't issue a receipt coz he planned on keeping the money to himself. Obviously, a corrupt employee.. tsk.tsk.tsk.
Terminal-1 has closed
The Terminal-1 temporary closed at the end of May 2012.

Please modify it.
2. MALEV Hungarian Airlines:
The company went bankrupt and liquidated.
Please remove it.
re: $200 customs ramp fee
Reply to @prattsoplenty: If I put 40 gallons of fuel in a Warrior, I'd think I was doing a piss poor job of fuel management. Maybe people who do a lot more flying than I do like to get down that low, but I don't.
re: amravati airport developement is a big dream
I think amravati airport may take another 1 to 2 years to complete and ready for operations as the government is still in the 2nd phase of land acquisition, if the government starts work on the developement of airport along with the 2nd phase of land acqisition then it can be completed within or around a years time. we want to see amravati airport operational before the end of this year i.e 2012.thanks.
re: $200 customs ramp fee
Reply to @david: Jet Aviation charges a ramp fee, for a single-engine Piper, $170 which can be waived if you purchase 40 gallons of 100LL (today's price was $9.34/gallon). So glad somebody else pays for my fuel!

Pilot training
Is there a pilot training facility at Thunder Bay?
runway orientation on Google Maps' satellite imagery
Google's satellite pictures of Leipzig/Halle airport are outdated (and have been for years now), so to see correct orientation of this airport's southern runway (08R/26L) use map view.

Article
There is an article about this airport in Atlas Obscura: http://atlasobscura.com/place/safdarjung-airport
Airport Facilities are not upto standard
Improper circulation of the air conditioner. Waiting area seems crowded during departures.
It's the people
What a reception. We visited twice in 2011. Once with 5 other CTSWs and later alone. Each time the welcome was exceptional. This included
1. The controller staying late because we were delayed by adverse winds
2. Genevieve - wonderful lady - not only helping us tie down, but running us to our hotel and picking us up in the morning!
3. The parachute club driving us to the local supermarket for petrol as the airfield had run out of AVGAS
We really do like this place!

To Start flight from Muzaffarpur
🔗 Wed, 20 Jun 2012
— Anonymous Flyer at Muzaffarpur Airport, India
Dear Concern person,
I believe that you people will give attention to start flight from Muzaffarpur airport, because Muzaffarpur is the center point & undeclare capital of North Bihar.
Thanks,
