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:

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

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.

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!

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!

re: $200 customs ramp fee
Reply to @prattsoplenty: thanks for the tip. When I first started using TEB a few years ago, I ruled out Jet for some reason (high fees? no 100LL? don't remember). I'll take another look. I am happy with Atlantic's quick response, though.
re: $200 customs ramp fee
Reply to @david: The other option is to use Jet Aviation at the south end of the airport. There is a Customs office right next to their building. I have been using them for the past few years until I starting working for another company who used Atlantic. But now they have switched to Jet as well since Customs moved to the new location. This is because fueling is not allowed on the Customs ramp and that can delay us. As well, at Jet, it is just a quick walk to the FBO so our passengers can be in the car quicker than at Atlantic. Check out the fees and prices but Jet might be the solution you are looking for.
A great layover on our trip eastbound
