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.
Crosswind runway and misc updates
A crosswind runway was recently completed, making Burlington really comfortable and easy to operate from. Maneuvering surfaces are in a very good shape, overall airport infrastructure looks better and better with every visit.
FBO status remains the same - sort of struggling through and not quite organized, missing a leading hand. Seen a King Air blasting the parked Cessnas (yes, he was doing a run-up next to the pumps, pointing its tail to the ramp within 60 ft). Advised the FBO folks, they refused to comment or take any action to prevent the damage of their own airplanes.
For the renters - add $10 to the prices from the Spectrum Airways website, this is called a "temporary fuel surcharge" or something like that, but looks like its a permanent thing in disguise.
Bokaro Airport
Good to see the progress made for Bokaro Airport. According to the latest news an agreement is signed between AAI & Jharkhand govt.
Is it for sale?
What would be a fair price for the property and how big is it in total?
re: correction

re: Commercial Flights from Jalgaon
First phase of jalgaon airport is ready awaiting inauguration hopefully sometime in march 2012
re: Amravati Airport
Its very Important to have airport at Amravati as it is second largest city in the vidarbha region of Maharashtra state
Amravati Airport
Please can anybody tell me when will be the Amravati's Airport developed so that we can have flights from Mumbai,Bangalore etc....
Great alternative to Port Augusta or Whyalla
We always use Port Pirie in preference to the above- easy to get fuel and friendly. Second the comment below- the airport manager is a really great guy.
Seasonal SPB
This dock is only used on demand
Or in high season.
No regular flight schedule exists
The Arugam Community maintains Sri Lanka's most popular Facebook pages
"Arugam Surf"
With daily updates, incl. flight schedules
re: What made Bacolod-Silay Airport and "International"?
too bad they stopped these flights after 1 week already ;)
Spicejet to think
This is the time for Maran (Spicejet Chairman) to make all the tamilnadu airports connection, like Chennai-Coimbatore-Tuticorin-Coimbatore-Chennai.
Mumbai connection required Tuticorin Airport
As these two cities having ports, business mans are going to Chennai and catch thier flights, so Airline operator can link, Mumbai-Coimbatore-Tuticorin, Tuticorin-Coimbatore-Mumbai.
Kingfisher and Spice jet have Daily Flights to Chennai
Kingfisher is running it flight daily for the last 5 years, Spice jet launched it new Q400 Turbo ATR from Tuticorin-Chennai daily, from DEC2011, these two flights are very much suceessfull, They can introduce one between Coimbatore and Tuticorin, sur it will have patronage.
Quality airfield
Aldinga airfield has gone ahead in leaps and bounds for the past 7 years.
As a result of this intelligent development it is hard to beat in this region.
A pleasant cafe and quality flying school with a focus on safe flying in up to date equipment.
Unfortunately the zero tolerance of seat of the pants and ill disciplined "cowboy" flying has encouraged it's share of detractors. I suspect that the individual responsible for all of the childish and puerile comments on this page is one of those sad types who would rather kill someone than admit that he was wrong. It is the disappointing aspect of free speech.
Try Aldinga for yourself.
re: TO OUR PRESIDENT
FUCK YOU mga abusadong officers! di kayo dapat ganyan sa mga pilipino karapatan nila ma travel or maghanap man sila ng trabaho sa ibang bansa pera nila yun! hindi naman kayo kinakaltasan sa sahod nyo. wala kayo pakealam kung san sila gusto pumunta basta walang criminal case na dapat ihold! gago!
dangerous
Stay away unless you have an emergency. The runway is the wavyest runway I have ever landed on. Kicked us back into the air on landing. Rolling not close to being level. Our engine quit because of the negitive G incured from being bounced. I have 1329 hours in a tail dragger and this was without a doubt the scarest landing ever.
EAD data
My latest dataset from Eurocontrol shows the airport as still being open. They also list the name as "Vinnytsia/Gravryshivka".
re: construction/renovation
Last time I visited vinnitsa was in winter 2011. the aiport was in decay and closed by then. As far as I know many small ukraine aiports has closed, this includes the airport of Vinnitsa
Terminal building

re: Positioning and access
Reply to @david:
Sorry David. I repositioned the strip as the one shown was on top the range (hills). The strip is dirt for mid sized fixed wing aircraft.
Appologies for the confusion.

β Anonymous Flyer at Apple River Airport, Canada
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.
