re: No go place
Reply to @dazuppa: Even though funds aren't available to resurface the runway at this time, it really isn't in such a deteriated condition as you noted. It's never been closed so no need to 'X' the ends. It's used regularly by everything from ultralights to medium size twins. I was at the strip recently and there was a Cessna 310 and Piper Navaho along with a Cessna 182 RG on the ramp, an indication the strip is fully servicable and never an issue for your undercarriage, retractible or otherwise.
There was always a flight school at the airport until ownership changed. The school was operated by an Air Canada pilot and offered full training through multi engine and commercial.
The airstrip is just 40' wide, usually with a crosswind. In addition, on a windy day there may be some turbulence over the berm along the north side of the strip. The housing development on approach to runway 25 is never a problem. The airstrip is quite safe for landing but may be a little daunting for anyone having to deal with crosswinds and unfamiliar with landing on a short, narrow runway. The technique is somewhat different than landng at an airport with almost unlimited length. Fly the numbers, land on the numbers, stay near the centerline and your airplane will be just as happy as landing at the large regional airport.
I don't recommend an inexperienced student from a large airport use this for airstrip for his solo cross country, however 'experienced pilots' never have problems landing at Springwater.
More on fees
This page does say that the airport has landing fees for commercial and military aircraft, but it doesn't specify the amounts: http://www.porthawkesburyairport.com/news.htm
re: Landing fee at Port Hawkesbury Airport Canada
I'm sorry to hear about the fee. Certainly, there was none for my little Piper a few years ago when I visited. I hope someone from the airport can comment on this incident.
Landing fee at Port Hawkesbury Airport Canada
Stay away. After contacting CannPass and recieving port or entry approval to land at Port Hawksbury, We were on short final gear down. The airport personal asked what type of aircraft we were. They then informed us that there will be a $500.00 landing fee. Remember their website says there is no landing fee. They were glad to charge this fee and said no other pilots complained about this fee. Looks like our US dollars will never go back.
Hosur Airport
Hosur airport has to be developed well ..
It can serve even the Southern part of Bengaluru
Rude and arrogant at Aldinga
Beware. Rude, arrogant and only have ears for the sound of the cash register.
Don't spend money, not interested in you.
3 runways in operation with bad radio calls. Spent 3 days in South Australia based at Aldinga. Never again.
It is a place waiting for an accident to happen. Bad flying culture.
Got abused by some rude Brit for something perfectly innocent and normal.
Most expensive Avgas around.
It is in Kanpur
It should be located in Kanpur in your website

re: Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon
As I was surfing the net, I was totally shocked by reading this. I am sorry for what happened. I am a new officer of BI Intramuros. Should you gave me your contact number or e-mail so we can talk in private. You can visit me at our office 2nd floor, room 4, located in intramuros. Look for Ynah.
I hope this could be settled asap.
Reputation
Thank you for living up to your reputation, I was not disappointed. Had my luggage broken into. Thanks for "Putting messures into place" to prevent this from happening. It clearly doesn't work!
re: Re -JosΓ© MartΓ International Airport
Im sorry but this airport is a chaos
So big. So few flights
Such a big and modern airport, but when I was there in Oct 2011 there were only 2 departures all day.
re: USA Army Air Corps World War II
I am trying to find out what units were on Tongareva in mid 1944--can you assist?
Tea cup poms named Chloe & Leo.
My pups are suppose to come Thursday providing I send the 200.00 usd cuz they have paid the other 700.00 & my refunds are now 45,000 usd becuz of a lady trying to steal my pups at the airport. This is a nightmare!
Tea cup poms named Chloe & Leo.
On August 21, 2011 I purchased 2 poms from a Kristal Green in Greenville, Mississippi. (supposed to be) She said she & her husband would luv for me to take both so they wud not be seperated. Cost for transportation $360.00 to airport $400.00 home delivery. For 40.00 more it was worth it, then I get email telling me they needed to b insured 1100.00 (refundable) i like a fool sent it, then they tell me they need shots 1550.00 again I paid. Thinking this was it & they were on there way & wud b delivered again an email telling me I needed to pay for City permit & ownership papers. i did this also. Kristal Green (real name Elmeda Muta) promised on the bible that I would receive the pups. The man delivering them was robbed when he went to get the transportation money so he cudnt come down, then someone else tried to claim the pups. I can write a book about this. I have been scammed out of 9000.00 usd & they are still trying to get more from me. The flight tickets expired, feedings, robbery (of course nothing insured). They spoke of the LORD like true Christians. How can they use GOD so horribly. I may have lost the battle but not the war becuz I have GOD on my side & he will handle them on his time. Right now 2months & some days later they call me & say they have put up all the money but 200.00 usd to get them to me by Skypet. Skypet said they are doing me a favor becuz of Brian at Air France. I am very said that this has happened. They took my kindness for weakness & ran with it. i have never purchased animals over the internet & I believed in these people. So sad! I can keep writing but i need about 100 pages to tell all. Who can help me with this? i cant let 9000.00 just go out the window.

Upgrade
I agree that they should increase the runway to at least 10,000ft and upgrade the airport with boarding bays and add another terminal so more airlines will have accommodations Into Cheddi Jagan which will allow aircrafts like the 747 jumbo jet and the largest aircraft airbus a380, and will have more flights from Pearson International. i also recommend that they install an (Instrument Landing System) on every runway so aircrafts can do ILS landing in foggy conditions and low visibility.
Facility is closed.
Might be useful as emergency strip but is out of service.
Fine facility.
Good runway. Well marked. Services available. AWOS.
Pobreza y desamparo
La impresion que causa este aeropuerto a los que llegan por primera vez a el es la de quien llega a un campo de batalla, la mugre abunda por todos los rincones, el mal olor es imperante, la falta de cortesia y profecionalismo del personal es contrastante con la intencion de convertirse en el destino preferido de los turistas en el Caribe, se persibe un ambiente de hostilidad y cohexion desde que desiendes de la escalerilla del avion, el personal militar y represivo que te resive te observa amenazadoramente en busca de alguna respuesta a su lista de interrogantes e inquietudes silenciosas, luego de una larga espera sales fuera de la terminal y te resive el verdadero pueblo Cubano, deceoso de compartir contigo lo poco que tienen y un calor sofocante que te recuerda que estas en el tropico. "Bienvenido a Cuba, tierra de libertad".(deseada)

John Howroyd,
Awesome new colors on CFHUM... Black Red & Green stripes. Wishing you many more years of great high-flying fun. You've always been my most interesting and adventurous teacher. We could go flying again sometime!

That Brampton feeling
Huge runways in good condition, lots of GA planes, some impressive vintage aircraft (I've seen a T-28 and Cornell), completely messed up circuit with planes cutting on the final, joining it from any altitude and direction, doing steep turns on the downwind... reminds anything? I felt like it was another Brampton. Decent airport, but not so fun to fly around. If needed to land somewhere around Niagara, I'd think St. Catharines, not Welland.
Nice airport
Quiet small airport. Well maintained runway, good approaches, nice folks at the FBO. Finding it is a tiny bit of a challenge, though following the railroad while checking a Pearson VOR radial helps. Loved the autumn scenery around Grimsby - so quiet, so sweet.
Good 1

Porter Airport Parking / Toronto Island Airport Parking / Bi
This is for those that have complained about the expensive parking rates at the airport above aka Toronto City Center Airport or YTZ.
I recently had to catch a flight out of Porter and parked at 19 Bathurst St, just behind the Amsterdam Brewery, which happen to only be a short 5 minute walk to the terminal. And at only $20/day, it was a no brainer. Especially when you consider that Porter airport charges a whopping $38/day!
Cheers

This site
Just checked my wife's flight from Durban to see if there was info, last updated 111 minutes ago, she has called to say there is a 20 min delay so I'm guessing this site is as useful as a chocolate fireplace, what a joke!
Make !!! Make !!! Make !!!
make Airport in Dhanbad Because Dhanbad Need it By Making Airport on Dhanbad The Passenger will come from bokara,giridih,Danbad,kumar dubi,raniganj,etc..............so this is very important to makee airport in dhanbad.........
Great Little Airport
As you would expect commercial flights are somewhat limited but always within short jumps to major connectors.
The Airport itself is friendly, clean and offers good amenities for those flying in an out.
Private aviators will find great service from TACair with easy and covered access to tarmac.
It's nice to fly from a place where you can relax and not rush.
Frost
is there any snow on the ground yet, and are the lakes, rivers frozen yet
Facilities
During 2012 year, we hope to have both re opening of the fuel station (with credit cards, 100LL, JET and 95UL) and the restaurant.
ILS RWY 05: 110,1 Mhz.
ILS RWY 05 at freq.: 110,1 Mhz. Please notify that arrival from South East MSA: 7500 feet, arrival from South West: 9000 feet, MSA at North MES is 1500 feet, but keep your ALT 025 according to many tower and building. Then lefthand down wind after MDN DME 6,6 approaching ILS RWY 05. After D5.5 MDN you must adjust your HDG between 046 - 048 degrees aligning the RWY HDG. Make a fast descent after VOR DME MDN from ALT 025 to ALT 009, otherwise you missed approach the RWY by over shoot it ....
luggage inspection
Why do they go throught our luggage after we pick it up off the luggage carosall and do they have the right to take things out of it and is there a list of things we cannot bring into the country.
visit
My second solo cross-country flight was LFIH to LFBH. An interesting view taking of over the sea !
re: Why Is It ORD
According to the wikipedia entry for O'Hare (which I can't link as an anonymous coward) the airport was originally Orchard Field Airport.
Antonov AN-2
In august 2011 I flew as a passenger in the Texel-based historic Antonov AN-2 with the founder of the Texel Scool of Skydiving, Bob Rienks. I flew in to Texel in 1995 with a Cessna C-172 from France (LFIH). A very cosy airfield with a restaurant, hotel and a museum and a lot of visitors coming from England, Germany or farther away.
re: field elevation!!!
Thanks for the warning. There are a batch of smaller Australian airports where the elevation in meters was labelled as feet in a free dataset at some point in the past, and that data has made its way to many aviation web sites, including OurAirports. We're fixing the problems as we find them, and I've updated Kyneton now.
Feel free to point out any more problems, or even better, create a free OurAirports account and you'll be able to edit the airport information directly.
Thanks again!
Stay away $500.00 fee

β Anonymous Flyer at Port Hawkesbury Airport, Canada
This was a private airplane that was charged the $500.00 fee. It said nothing about it on their website. They said no one ever complained about it before. I replied the landing fee at JFK in New York was a deal at $150.00 compared to Port Hawksbury. I will be contacting AOPA and CAPA about the fee.
