My first pilot experiences were at Chalais LFIH
A rural airport with all kind of friendly pilots. Here I started my pilot's career with my instructor Edmond Fradon. I started on Cessna 150, and flew also their Cessna 172, and Jodel D-112 (built in the club). Everyone is an amateur, no aviation professionals .From Chalais I flew with 3 friends to the north of Holland, Texel Airport. My greatest experience in aviation !
Casterton airfield
This airport is a single unsealed runway and is akin to landing & taking off from an aircraft carrier. eg: ~
field elevation!!!
Hi guys,
Think you need to check the field elevation on the pilot info page, unless the runway is underground,
Cheers,

I have a question for you in regards to this scam. When you paid for the actually certificate of ownership (so the person says) did you get an email from urpet. Ex sayin to pay for the money through western union? And then when you did so did you get an email saying when the flight would be taking off from cameroon and arriving at your destination

Airport
July 26th, 2011: Very friendly and helpful people. No tie down. Car gaz available between 13h and 14h30. General store. No motel. No restaurant.
re: Info on getting there
You should probably contact Scenic Airlines http://www.scenic.com/ as they seem to be the only company operating into this airport. They appear to be a tour company rather than a simple airline.
Info on getting there
How can I get a list of flights and other information of incoming flights (so I can book a flight if possible) from Las Vegas, or Flagstaff? I travel from a larger city (Balt) that has direct connection to this airport.

How can you check if someone has booked a flight departure murtala Muhammed airport (L O S leaving at 12.05 weds 19th oct 2011 arrival at London Heathrow at 18.50
Lovely Airstrip
Nice grass airstrip West of Toronto - relatively easy to find, clean approaches, well maintained. Look out for the unmarked power line parallel to the road when approaching from the East. A bunch of ultralights and homebuilts hidden in the hangars, and walls of soft, high corn surrounding the landing strip - in case you'd feel like rolling out. ;-)

HEATHROW DE LONDRES UN AEROPUERTO PROFESIONAL
Como pasajero, las veces que me ha tocado visitar este aeropuerto, siempre destaca un aire de profesionalidad y buen hacer. Sabemos que tiene un factor en contra que cuando nos pueden sorprender las inclemencias.
Flight Ops
Land 26, take-off 08, avoid low flying over the falls.
A 'wide' right base for 26 will provide a good view of the falls without causing offence.
FORMER Brunswick Naval air station
Brunswick Naval air Station no longer exists. On April 02, 2011 the former NAS became a General Aviation airport named Brunswick Executive Airport BXM. Of the two 8000' runways only one is open for use: 1R and 19L. That is the runway to the East, nearest the tarmac. The FBO is located in the huge Hangar 6 at the North end of the runways.
A great place for the option!
taking off, landing, failing the landing, go around, and just keep trying! =)
skypig on Aldinga Airport
Arrived at Aldinga area, could not relate to traffic in the circuit as there where 3 runways being used at once.
Finally figured it and joined the circuit for 21. Nearly had a midair with a sports star who did no radio calls.
Aborted and went to Goolwa. Subsequent conversations with other pilots advise bad news in the circuit and dangerous.
Operators refuse to take heed and conduct low level circuits with no radio calls and I am reliably informed that situation is deteriorating.
Strong indications that operators do not want visiting aircraft as visiting pilots have been abused for no real reason.
Hospitality
Good people, good food. Head chef/taxi driver/new letter publisher, has a tendency to publicise a pilots landing ‘transgressions’, tell them you are arriving 30 minutes later then planned! ;->

This site largely caters for pilot's and gives very meaningifull/usefull information to us. I do not believe it was intended as passenger information service.

This airport has no scheduled flight service. All aircraft operating from here are private.
Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon of
This morning, I have experienced the worst nightmare in flying abroad. I'd been travelling in and out of the country (our native land - Philippines) as an OFW since May 1986 and I never experienced what this DMIA BI Officer Mr. Michael Dizon did with my passport. Mr Dizon broke my passport into two piece on suspicion that my passport was tampered. Do this BI Immigration has the capacity to break the passport based on their suspicion? They did not even allow me to have my passport instead issue me a receipt that they confiscate my passport for validation or verification. The passport was the latest Digital Passport that DFA issued to all Filipino who wishes to work abroad or visits countries outside Philippine territory.
Today 10October2011, is my flight to go to Singapore as a Tourist or on pleasure trip.
I just used my passport to go to Azerbaijan last June 2010 to work as an OFW under Salini Costrutti company. Eventually when I was in Azerbaijan... Salini want me to work in the company's project in Ukraine and arrange me a Ukraine Visa. As per contract I have no choice but go to Ukraine. But because of the weather condition in Ukraine (that reached -36deg-cent) during the winter I decided to resign my job and goes back to Philippine last Sept 28 2011.
A friend of mine learned what happened, and invited to visit Singapore to take a break that I agree and I booked flights to Singapore (round trip for 3weeks stay in Singapore). And today I was supposed to leave and this incident happened. I was really shocked... if only I knew that this officer will tore down my passport to two piece... hindi na sana ako tumuloy...
Mr. Dizon does not seems to realize how hard to get a passport these days... If he really have suspicion that my passport was tampered he can just easily call DFA-Clark to validate or verify this passport that was just recently used abroad...or simply send it to DFA untouched.
Id been seeking government offices that can help me with this incident and hope I can find someone who can really help me to stop these inhumane act of BI officers, not to mention that I am a native of this country and been an OFW since 1986 of no bad records at all...

Community of flight
A gem.
No services.
Just great runway, and fantastic community of pilots.
Please start Muzaffarpur Airport
Dear CM Mr. Nitish Kumar Sahab,
You are undoubtedly the ever best CM that our state has seen who holds so much hunger for the development. Yet there are a lot of grey areas in your state which you can easily overcome without putting an oil & butter.
One such is by starting the much demanded Muzaffarpur airport for which I am sure the Govt. has nothing to do save a nod as a lot of Airtransport Companies would be in queue to get the permission to start their services. The Govt. of Bihar must ponder over it. By starting the MUZAFFARPUR Airport at Patahi, not only the tourism may get a boost but also the state may write a new chapter in the development process besides fulfilling the promise of providing good facilities to the people of Bihar. Hope this request may witness the daylight soon.
Regards,
Dr. Sahab Shabbir 'Baboosahab'
Muzaffarpur Airport
correct gentleman, and yes, the tourism too will get a boost besides providing a credit in the name of Nitish's susashan.

re: field elevation!!!
🔗 Tue, 18 Oct 2011
— @david at Kyneton Airport, Australia
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!
