Val Veny Zerotta helicopter landing zone
Unprepared landing area located in the Zerotta valley near La Thuile, at approximately 1500โ1600 m AMSL. The site offers wider and more accessible terrain compared to high alpine locations, with grassy fields and relatively gentle slopes.
Rifugio Deffeyes Helicopter landing site
High-altitude alpine landing area located near Rifugio Deffeyes at approximately 2500 m AMSL. The site offers limited flat terrain, with most usable spots consisting of small, uneven alpine clearings or snow-covered areas depending on the season. A challenging, non-prepared alpine LZ, requiring advanced mountain flying skills and careful performance planning
La Thuile Helicopter landing site
Unimproved alpine landing area located near Lago Verney at approximately 2100โ2300 m AMSL. The terrain offers relatively flat sections, suitable for light helicopter operations, especially in winter conditions when snow cover smooths surface irregularities.A non-certified alpine LZ with good space but demanding conditions. Suitable only for skilled pilots familiar with high-altitude operations no icao

Following the opening of the new Yogyakarta International Airport in 2019, the airport is now only for domestic flights.
Helipad Piedimulera
Located in the municipality of Piedimulera, in the lower Anzasca Valley near Pieve Vergonte, this is an unregistered heli operating site with no ICAO designation.
Operational profile:
Surface: generally firm ground (grass/gravel), more stable than high-altitude sites
Space: moderate, suitable for light to medium helicopters
Environment: valley setting with surrounding terrain but fewer constraints than alpine peaks
Winds: possible valley channeling, but typically more manageable
Usage:
Primarily used for local operations, logistics, and occasional rescue support, acting as a practical staging point between the valley floor and higher mountain areas.
Summary:
A functional, non-certified landing area offering relatively straightforward operations compared to high-altitude sites. Suitable for pilots with basic mountain flying awareness, but still requiring attention to terrain and local wind conditions.
Eliporto Calasca
Located in the municipality of Calasca-Castiglione, just above Pieve Vergonte in the Anzasca Valley, this is an unofficial mountain landing site with no ICAO designation.
The area is typically used for alpine operations, rescue, and logistics, serving as a transition point between the valley floor and high-altitude routes toward Monte Rosa.
Pilot notes:
Surface: unprepared / variable (grass, gravel, or compacted ground)
Space: limited, with surrounding terrain constraints
Winds: can be unpredictable due to valley effects
Obstacles: terrain and vegetation nearby
Operations: short stays only, engines usually kept running
Summary:
A practical but non-standard alpine landing spot. Suitable only for experienced pilots familiar with mountain flying and confined area operations.
Cervinia Heliport
Breuil-Cervinia Helipad (Breuil-Cervinia) is a high-altitude alpine landing site (~2000 m) used mainly for rescue and heliski operations.
From a pilotโs perspective, this is a demanding VFR environment with:
strong and unpredictable mountain winds
significant density altitude effects
limited landing space and no standard airport infrastructure
There is no ICAO code, no ATC, and no IFR supportโoperations rely entirely on pilot skill and situational awareness.
Rifugio Monzino
Rifugio Monzino is a high-altitude, non-certified landing zone at ~2,590 m on an exposed ridge in the Mont Blanc massif. It is regularly used for HEMS and supply operations, not for general aviation.
ISLA DEL MALPELO
Helicopter operations are infrequent and typically reserved for: ARMATA NATIONAL DE COLUMBIA This is not a standard aviation facility, but a high-risk, niche landing zone that reflects the raw and isolated nature of Malpelo. It stands as a unique example of how aviation can adapt to extreme environments with minimal infrastructure.
Name
The correct name is Quetzaltenango
History
The airfield opened in 1918 as Shallufa Aerodrome and provided armament training. It was surplus to military needs and became inactive in 1922 under the Disposal and Liquidation Commission. During the Second World War, it was reactivated for Royal Air Force usage in 1940. Through 1950 until 1954, RAF Shallufa operated as a major training base for the Bomber Command. The base was handed over to the Egyptians in 1955, and the history of Egyptian use isnโt clear.
airstrip closed. please lock in gng
Coopland Landing Strip is not open. It was visible on a 1988 topography map, in a northwest to southeast position, with a aerial view showing a single engine aircraft to the west center of the field. Not only is this a gravel road marked as the airstrip, but it is also overtaken by trees. Unless evidence shows otherwise, ( a lack of info in today's FAA database, and topography maps, ) CLS is closed.

Reply to @I_Am_So_Handsome: i mean they're in the middle of a civil war so im not really surprised
First comment.
20 years of construction (from 2006), absolutely 0 progress.
Private Field
Based aircraft only.
Ward Hunt Island aorstrip
There are no markings, no infrastructure, and no navigation aids. The surface varies between frozen ground, gravel, and ice depending on the season, making every landing highly dependent on pilot experience and real-time conditions. Operations here are typically conducted by highly specialized STOL aircraft such as the Twin Otter, often equipped with skis or tundra tires.
Approaches are entirely visual. Pilots rely on GPS coordinates, prior briefing data, and environmental awareness rather than any formal aviation system. Weather conditions are unpredictable and unforgivingโlow visibility, extreme cold, and shifting ice can rapidly turn a routine landing into a high-risk operation.
Despite its simplicity, Ward Hunt plays a crucial role. It is one of the northernmost accessible points by aircraft and serves as a staging area for expeditions to the North Pole, as well as a support base for climate and ice research on the nearby Ward Hunt Ice Shelf.
There is no room for error here. No ATC, no rescue infrastructure, and no second chances. Every operation must be carefully planned and executed with precision.
Overall assessment:
Ward Hunt Island Airstrip is a raw, uncompromising example of true bush and polar aviationโreserved only for experienced crews operating at the edge of the possible.
Still listed on AirNav but..
long since overgrown. owner Hamakua Sugar has been defunct since the 1990s.

mattala rajapaksa international airport is the most peaceful airpot in the world
Glacier du Dolent
1. Valley entry
enter via:
Val Ferret (Italy or Switzerland)
low altitude โ gradual climb
2. Reconnaissance (essential)
first high pass (300โ500 ft above)
check:
slope
wind (snow drift indications)
crevasses
3. Direction choice
Always:
land into the wind
BUT also:
land uphill (uphill landing)
n the mountains this is more important than the runway itself
4. Final approach
short and direct
no guaranteed go-around.
A very dangerous area for landings, and difficult even for experienced mountain pilots. Yet, from time to time, someone still lands there or performs a touch-and-go without leaving any documentation of the landing spot or the type of approach used
Idroscalo di Spotorno
The Spotorno Seaplane Base is a flight school for seaplanes and also offers tourist flights in the area. The Spotorno Seaplane Base is connected to the Pianfei airfield, which is located on land and not on the sea, just a few kilometers away. The official website is provided above.
First comment.
The airport is temporarily used by Kuwaiti airlines as an alternative to Kuwait International Airport due to the Iran war.
McGill Artic Station
Unprepared tundra landing area with uneven surface and variable bearing strength. STOL operations only; subject to katabatic winds, turbulence, and surrounding terrain hazards. Low-level reconnaissance pass required prior to landing.
Usable
This airport is still usable for light aircraft with tundra tires.
here is the real answer
so the real name is wonsan kalma international airport not wonsan kalma airport. people say the airport name is wonsan kalma airport because the the rugular flights is domestic
(no subject)

re: meteo?
Reply to @Gkikas_LGPZ: None yet,No, we donโt have a weather station providing met reports for the aerodrome yet. We know it would be really useful and weโre actively looking into getting one, but weโre still researching the best option for our setup.
Do you have any recommendations for a good weather station suitable for our airfield?
Thanks!
re: History
Reply to @Bollardant2: thank you
i've been wondering if this airport was real for a while now.
History
First depicted on a 1988 Goulds topographic map with an approximately 280m long curved airstrip. Interestingly, the runway is striked with an X, possibly indicating closure. It was also depicted on the 1994 Goulds topographic map with the X. By 1999, the site was overgrown, and became part of a plantation by 2002.
