Airport comments for the World
Comments 11,233 to 11,282 of 16,054
My Experience
From my point of view all these comments are correct. I flew in from Cessnock with my wife just under a year ago for 14 days holiday based in McLaren Vale (beautiful wines and country), we also did some local flying including a 2 day trip to Kangaroo Island (must see). Yes there was certainly some chaos in the circuit and I experienced poor / non-existent communications with other aircraft, it is certainly not the safest place I have flown to, but it was manageable with a diligent lookout. The little shop/ flying school had good food; the people were friendly and helpful. However over the period of our stay, we met several local pilots, some based at Aldinga and otherβs from the surrounding areas and Kangaroo Island, from which we gained several perspectives and stories. Too many consistent stories from different pilots to just ignore as the odd disgruntled pilot, not everyone had a bad word to say about the flying school operators however about 80% of the pilots we met were of the same general opinion that these people cannot be trusted and have double standards. Several of the pilots I met had been approached or fined by CASA for incidents dobbed in by the flying school operators without every talking to them first (I donβt understand this, in Cessnock if you do something silly or wrong usually one of the instructor or experienced pilots will have a word in your ear and leave it at that, anyway thatβs how we roll in NSW). Overall we had great experience in SA however the stories did make me very wary of the flying school operators.
Helicopter, Landing on private grounds
Hello
I am a Helicopter Pilot.
I'm going to Hotel Heiligendamm in Mecklenburg nahe Rostock.
May I land on their lawn, if the hotel permits.
Best Regards

By the way
Just read the comment about cowboy flying.
The only dangerous flying that takes place at Aldinga is by the operators themselves.
Terrible circuit procedures and a RECORDED number of near misses due to their "Can do no wrong attitude"
The lady who cannot fly but who runs the place and berates and looks to persecute those that she perceives to have done something wrong, is of the opinion, in her one eyed view, that they the operators are SSSSOOoooo so safe, but all the others that dare fly in there are nowhere near as safe as they are.
For one who cannot even fly, her attitude and interference with real aviators is woeful and leaves an awful lot to be desired.
Flier beware
If you intend to fly into Aldinga.
Be so at your own risk of;
(1) Bad circuit manners and procedures.
(2) Bad manners and the risk of being abused for something that the operators do not like.
(3) Highest avgas prices. Higher than Goolwa and other aerodromes who pay cartage where Aldinga do not. Rip off prices.
(4) Do something wrong, and you will not be approached to "Sort it out and clear the air" You can expect a call from CASA.
Makes one wonder why they are in the aviation business when the act like self appointed industry regulators and policeman.
Bad attitude toward the Australian aviators and Australian flying culture.
Should go back to the UK where they came from and practice their pedantic crappy outlook on their own countrymen.
Come to Australia and try and tell Australians how it should be done. Huh. we have a proud aviation history.
International Flights to & from Jaipur
There are only two International flights from Middle East.
Why there are not many International Flights to & from Jaipur? There is not even one from Far East.
International Terminal is being used for Domestic Flights only.

re: Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon
Hope this can help, All Philippine Consulates in Asia offer a service to provide...Duly Notarized Letter of Invitation (Affidavit of Invitation) from a Sponsor Abroad..
Even with all the documents that you supplied, the person leaving PI may or may not get stopped by immigration.
Take a look at the Philippine Consulate for Malaysia - look under consulate services - h---://---.philembassykl.org.my/

re: Were's the VOR?
Reply to @ptomblin: Oh wait, that one's already there. Just click the "navaids" checkbox. Not sure what else the original commenter could be commenting on.
re: Were's the VOR?
Reply to @david: I've got a VOR with the id PVR named "VALLARTA" at 20.673094,-105.257497. I think the frequency is 116.6.
re: Were's the VOR?
I'd be very grateful for the information about the VOR (latitude, longitude, identifier, name, frequency, etc.) so that we can add it to the database.
Were's the VOR?
MMPR does have a VOR, AND IT'S NOT ON THIIS MAP!:(

New Arrival
Im ver much eager to come 2 see the beautiful location. Waiting for the day.
Proposed development
Do any one knows about proposed development around the airport?
I wish more were like that
It's small, it's cosy, it's convenient. It takes you about 10 minutes from the time you've landed to the moment you've sat in the taxi. You have to love it. I just keep coming back.
carrier
what particular carrier for the flights going to Europe?
remarkable
sorry i havent been there... will go two days later..:-)
Excellent Facility
Great airport. Very helpful staff Easy in and out. Taxi's very reasonable priced
Runway Closed as of 2/12/12

Encouragement !!!
I believe there is nothing to say about its appreciation but i would suggest it should be international in real as i don't think any international flights are flying from Multan. I think the reason being is there is no load of people flying to or from Multan. But being a city that is famous for mangoes specially and for it's sweet called sohan halwa there has need to make it international so that we could transport them easily without any hassle of sending them to big cities like lahore, islamabad or karachi. Finally i would like to say Multan is the biggest city in the southern Punjab. Surrounded by many well known cities like Bahawalpur,khanewal,muzafargarh,D.G khan and many others so taking all those cities into notice and looking at their population we should think there needs to have some real International Airport. So the people will not have to travel all the way to Lahore, islamabad or karachi and they will fly right from their neighbouring city.
Looking for more info
Does anyone know if there are NDB's, VOR's, ILS's or communication radio frequencies associated with Yubileyniy? I would like to compile as much complete information about this airport as possible so that I can create a scenery package for X-Plane. Other information that would be useful: Runway approach lighting type, and runway edge lights.
Looking for navaids, frequencies and other info
Does anyone know if there are NDB's, VOR's, ILS's or communication radio frequencies associated with Krayniy? I would like to compile as much complete information about this airport as possible so that I can create a scenery package for X-Plane. Other information that would be useful: Runway approach lighting type, and runway edge lights. Also, I have seen references to an ICAO code of UAOL for this airport. Can this be verified?

re: Timmy the white fluffy Pomeranian.
SHE DID IT AGAIN THIS TIME TO US....HER NAME WAS STACY THIS TIME....... I AM VERY HURT BY THIS BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS UP SO I COULD FIND OUT BEFORE I SENT HER ANY MONEY!!
Interesting approaching procedures!
UIO airport is a very interesting and it takes a while to know the approaching procedures specially using VOR and ILS. Give it a try! A beautiful city in one of the best countries I ever visit
Wow
Overflew this airport last summer, was planning a possible touch and go depending how the field looked, but when we approached... wow... runway 27 certainly slopes DOWN.
Cattle on runway
please note that there may sometimes be cattle on the runway, its best to do a flyby before landing
Great news if this airport really gets going
We live in Extremadura in Spain close to Alentejo region in Portugal The whole region is superb and it would be fantastic were they to get ryanair etc to fly there. For a flavour of the area click on spanishgarden.org
The shafting airport
The good blog on this site is quite obviously posted by the operators of Aldinga.
Note the continued reference to coffee, the wonderful safe place to fly.
At Adinga, there are 2 rules, one for them and one for others. Do as they say and not as they do.
Now I am told of a near miss because they are doing left and right circuits without any notification in the ERSA.
Fly there at your own risk.
If one has money to spend at Aldinga, then you are great.
There are many locals who will not go near the joint. Have been abused for no reason, reported for no reason and been rude to for no reason.
How about the people at Aldinga attempting to dob the people in at a Port Lincoln fly in when they were not even there. Told CASA to hide in the tress and spy on these great people at PLC.
Yeah nice people.
re: Positioning and access
Thank you very much for the contribution, Ian. I'm grateful for all the work people are putting in correcting the AU data and keeping it up to date.

re: Good place to visit
Reply to @dazuppa: Correction - SE ramp mentioned above, sorry! :-)
Good place to visit
Brantford is very easy to find - an obvious triangular shape next to the only big town in the area. Wide, long, well-maintained runways and not so well maintained taxiways, huge ramps. A couple of semi-dismantled C-117 with square tails and oversized elevators at the end of the SW ramp (aviation buffs, check them out - those birds are rare now!) Reasonably busy, but with well-organized traffic and helpful unicom. A nice place to visit.
