re: re: Missing runway?
The CFS will be updated to include a note in the "caution" section only if the airport operator requests it.
There is no requirement for registered aerodromes to have painted runway markings. Only certified aerodromes need to have them visible.

re: re: Missing runway?
Reply to @david: I submitted an e-mail from Nav Canada from which I got a reply today. They are looking into it.
I requested that they update the CFS so that they note the runway is unmarked. There is signage at the airport to indicate that it still is an active runway.

re: NDB
Thank you for the update - I've removed the Brisbane NDB from the database.
re: Brindabella
Thank you - I've updated the airline's home base in the database: http://www.ourairports.com/airlines/FQ/
re: Closed Aerodrome
Reply to @YD1TNK: Thank you for the comment. From reading a translation of the story, it looks like the airport closing is only temporary, while volcanic ash and smoke reduces visibility. Please let us know if the airport remains closed for more than a couple of months, and we'll mark it as "closed" in the database.
re: Malta Apt NDB
Added - thank you very much for the update.

You are very welcome to add the airports yourself using the "add airport" link at the bottom of the page, or alternatively, if you are able to send me the latitude and longitude (and any other available information), I will be happy to enter them myself.

re: Morskogen NDB MSK 347
Thank you for the update. I've removed MSK from the database.
re: NDB CGO 344 kHz deleted
Thank you for the update. It's always sad when an NDB is decommissioned. I've removed it from the database.
re: Missing NDB at Kemble Apt
Thank you for the information about the new NDB. There hasn't been a good source of international navaid data since the DAFIF stopped open distribution a few years ago, and it's wonderful news that the UK has actually commissioned a new NDB when so many are closing. I've added the NDB here: http://www.ourairports.com/navaids/KMB/Kemble_NDB_GB/
re: Mansel closed
Thanks for the comment. I don't see any sign of an active airport in the satellite picture, so I've marked it as "closed" for now, unless I find any new information.

re: Logan sucks!!!
Fortunately, Beverley Airport, a 25-minute drive to the north, loves general aviation, and even offers free customs. Logan has a great location, but Massport clearly doesn't want us using the airports it operates.
Logan sucks!!!
It's nice to see that they respect General Aviation pilots and work towards making their fees and costs reasonable! (this represents sarcasm, of course)
Woman, 85, claims she was strip-searched at JFK airport
An 85-year-old woman said she was injured and humiliated when she was strip-searched at an airport after she asked to be patted down instead of going through a body scanner.
Transport security officials have denied allegations by Lenore Zimmerman, who said she was taken to a private room and made to take off her clothes after she asked to forgo the screening because she was worried it would interfere with her defibrillator. She missed her flight and had to take one two-and-a-half hours later, she said.
"I'm hunched over. I'm in a wheelchair. I weigh under 110lb (50kg)," she said. "Do I look like a terrorist?"
But in a statement the Transportation Security Administration said no strip search had been carried out.
"While we regret that the passenger feels she had an unpleasant screening experience, TSA does not include strip searches as part of our security protocols and one was not conducted in this case," the statement read.
Zimmerman was dropped off by her son at JFK airport in New York for a 1pm flight on Tuesday to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on JetBlue, she said. She arrived at the ticket counter at about 12.20pm and headed for security in a wheelchair, her metal walker in her lap.
She said she had been traveling to Florida for at least a decade and had never had a problem being patted down until now. "I worry about my heart, so I don't want to go through those things," she said, referring to the advanced image technology screening machines at the airport.
As a result, she said, she was taken into the private screening room by a female agent and made to strip.
"Private screening was requested by the passenger, it was granted and lasted approximately 11 minutes," the TSA said. "TSA screening procedures are conducted in a manner designed to treat all passengers with dignity, respect and courtesy and that occurred in this instance."
The private screening was not recorded.
Jonathan Allen, a TSA spokesman, said a review of closed-circuit television at the airport had showed that proper procedures before and after the screening had been followed.
Zimmerman said she banged her shin during the process and it bled "like a pig,", partly because she is on blood-thinning medication. She said an emergency medical technician patched her up, but she was told to see a doctor when she arrived in Florida to make sure the wound did not get infected. There are no records indicating medical attention was called on her behalf.
"I don't know what triggered this. I don't know why they singled me out," she said.
Her son, Bruce Zimmerman, said: "My mother is a little old woman. She's not disruptive or unco-operative. I don't understand how this happened."
He said she had had an increasingly difficult time travelling, especially since her husband died a few years ago. She has two grandchildren and her older son, a doctor, died in 2007.

Missing runway?
Is it me or does 05/23 NOT exist? I didn't see any runway numbers and where one would be, the pavement looks pretty beat up. The CFS says it's paved.. but I have my doubt's that is accurate.
Bhilwara airport
No such (Ondwa Airport) exists.Only a airstrip is available at hamirpur in proximity to Bhilwara 14 km
diversionary airfield
It is good to know that udaipur airport is available for diversions.Only if it could be available on 24 hrs basis round the year ?
Corrected
Corrected.
Wrongly named correct name is " Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee Intern
Please change the name
correct name is " Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar "
airport
we were up there on our bicycles after riding from the park, pretty rough shape, I don't think I would land my plane there.
Topography
K.A.A need to construct that airstrip and start employing people
Kisenge airport
Runway is kept in good condition by owner. Avoid landing at tresholds due to soil degradation around numbers. Avoid turning pad at treshold 28. Water pond standing due to heavy rains.
