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 βtransgressionsβ, 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.

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

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.
Progress of an Airport

Δ°skenderun Airport
it is in Turkey come and see stolen sandjak is Aleppo and it is Turkish Arabs only %10 in Δ°skenderun.Syria is not a natural country Crusaders created it is a part of Arabia.
Excellent airport
Corporate air is just great. Fueling is fast and the courtesy car is almost always there. I'll second the Kitty Hawk Cafe, good food and good view of the runway.
I like it
The tarmac is not great, there are certainly a few rough spots, but the fuel is the cheapest in the area and they have MoGas. There is a restroom and it is a great place to take new pilots to learn the illusions of narrow runways and runways with serious slope.
Good diner
The Spruce Goose is on the field and has great diner food. Aviation theme is fun, service is fast and the view of the planes is great.
Susi Air fly to Sarmi
Susi Air has a regular flight from Jayapura to Sarmi on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Great airport for private aircraft
With the town of Tofino just 15 minutes away, a new terminal just completed and upgrades to the airport in the works this is a great destination to fly into to experience the wild west coast of Vancouver Island. Accomodations range from the renowned Wickaninnish Inn and its ocean view restaurant, "The Pointe" to excellent hostels, budget motels and Vacation Rentals there is something for everyone. Budget Rental car is available at the airport too so transportation is immediately available year round.
VOR DVL not functioning
Routing via DVL back to UK on Friday 30th Sept 11 this beacon wasn't working however, can't find any Notam regarding temp u/s ? With feq 110.20 had an increasing distance rather than decrease when approaching. The indent wasn't clear and maybe was TST (test)
Corruption
I won't recomment to use Sialkot airport at all. I have travelled to and from Sialkot airport 3 times and each experience is worse than other. Staff of sialkot airport openly ask for bribe... all the staff is corrupt. They open the luggage and ask the passenger to leave the items with them or pay a specific amount without any reason.
I absoloutely hate Sialkot Airport and now I have decided to use Lahore airport instead.
