re: No Avgas at Iqaluit currently
Reply to @philippe: Hi Philippe, we have a drum of avgas there if somebody needs assistance.
Where there is smoke, there is a fire
Whow, Have just been browsing the aerodromes in South Australia planning a trip from NSW to WA via S.A.
I planned to stop over at either Goolwa or Aldinga for fuel etc.
I am stunned at all the negative comments about Aldinga whilst the likes of Goolwa and other surrounding airfields have no bad comments.
Seems as if there is smoke there is a fire as if maybe one person posts a bad comment, that would be acceptable as one cannot please everybody.
But having now read all the comments about Aldinga, I would suggest that there may be some serious issues which should be addressed there.
It is not all about coffees and cakes, its about aviation, aviators and their aircraft and needs.
Needless to say, thanks to those who have been upfront enough to inform the rest of us.
I thought that I would pause and phone Goolwa at this stage.
Bloke there will make a vehicle available (No charge) to us if required, and will organize accommodation at our cost. Fair enough.
Solves that. I would rather stop somewhere which does not have the bad feedback and postings like Aldinga.
Sad that, as I flew in there years ago. lovely peaceful country airfield with small office and flying school and such a lovely friendly women who's name my wife tells me was Lorraine???
I guess that at times new ownership with big high flying ideas do not always work out and would suggest that maybe this is the case with Aldinga.
No longer the quint quite lovely place that we found it to be.
Grumpy bloke
Have found Goolwa a great place to visit.
Great collection of aircraft live there and on days with good weather may see the jets come out, aerobatic mob practicing, war birds, parachutes and so on.
And all interacting with each other safely.
Grumpy old character who owns the airport who is full of character and loves to project this grumpy attitude but is all piddle and wind. Good Ole Boy. Has been very helpful.
Great place to stop for fuel (Less expensive than Aldinga) if passing by from interstate as great coastal flight along the Coorong and river Murray Mouth.
Good maintenance bloke based at Goolwa.
Also in my opinion less hassles in the circuit than Aldinga which can be highly confusing with the low time RAAUS instructors and students.
Have encountered 3 runways in use at Aldinga with woeful radio calls and actually aborted landing there one day and diverted to Goolwa as with 20 plus plus years flying could not make sense of what was going on.
RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL IMMIGRATION OFFICER
On 17 July an IO did not allow my mother to travel to Singapore. I understand that she was just doing her job but she was rude. And are they even allowed to have a chewing gum on their mouth while working? She was a boyish female officer. I was not able to get her name but I can remember her rude and straight up unprofessional face! May karma Miss!
Salem airport
Salem has the capability to become one of the major city in India. And many people are requesting to reopen the Salem airport .it has the potential also. Tamil newspapers like Dinakaran was in the progress to open the airport.. .And I hope that we must have good results.....

How to get to Springbok
From Jo'burg, better is to fly to Upington and hire a car there. It's a shorter drive than from CT.
Aldinga Airfield
Have not looked at this site for a while but pleased to see that finally some are waking up to what Aldinga and the operators of the flying school are actually like..
Not all nice coffee and cakes, in fact, from an aviators point of view who have flown in there for many past years, its gone to the dogs with shocking circuit procedures and running the risk of been abused.
Avgas is about 18 cents more per liter than some other airports who PAY DELIVERY for their avgas.
I make a point of never calling in there for fuel or for any other reason any more unless there is something on at the Aero Club or similar. The Good Ole Boys.
And yes. The low time inexperienced instructors sit on the veranda with their coffees and criticize the landings and take offs of others.
But they will suck in the inexperienced thru their fancy social networking and sadly teach the students their ways.
It is also interesting to note that the operators, nor their students etc are made very welcome around various aviation venues in S.A. Seems that the aviation fraternity have woken up to them. And remember, that some have been around for some time and are highly qualified and respected.
Funny thing. We Australians will always, well at the best of times, extend our hands in friendship to newcomers. But beware when these newcomers bite our hands.
Chambley
Please note that this is a former NATO airbase. It is now closed and used from time to time for hot balloons shows.

Avoid !!
This airport is no longer use-able ...
Local "friendlies" will liberate you of fuel - and avionics whilst making gestures with knives and panga's.
The old Hangars are no longer there - they have been "re-appropriated and re-located" to the other side of the road to form housing for the same friendlies....
Luarbiasa
Amazing
Darbhanga Airport
Fake news.. reports are baseless..local news papers sucks with similar false info..
Aldinga
Wow trained out of Aldinga 15 years ago and had so many fond memories when John white owned the flying school, went back to refuel my Saratoga, Truth lets just say will never return there again thought I was back in Narm place has a horrible feel about it, every move you make you are watched and critersized sorry fellow aviators Yadg not for me happy flying Sam Pope.

Right to travel
"...As to liberty of travel, under the 1987 law, it may be impaired even without a court order, but the appropriate executive officer is not armed with arbitrary discretion to impose limitations. He can impose limits only on the basis of “national security, public safety, or public health” and “as may be provided by law,” a limitive phrase which had disappeared from the less libertarian 1973 text." - Bernas. what is now the connection of your trip to national security, to public health, or to public safety? Wala! so ano ang connection ng national security, public health or public safety kung mag hahanap ka ng work sa ibang bansa? Wala! eh bakit ginagawa ng government natin ito? Dictador kasi! paki alamero sa buhay ng may buhay! MRT nga d niyo ma ayos ayos buhay pa namin pakiki alaman ng BI!

Pilots 'n Paws
This airport is very PnP friendly and can board animals overnight if necessary. Also give fuel discount on PnP flights.
when will the airport actually open?
Before the end of 2015?
Eastern regional hub of Nepal.
Make the broad runway for wide body operation to connect the Indian market.
Maybe I was lucky
I went back last month and to my surprise I didn't have to deal with any harsh customs at the airport for both coming and leaving. It was my first time back in 30+ years. At arrival the custom officer only asked for my last name and no baggage check at all. At Leaving they asked where I was born and that was it. Was I the lucky few ?
Don Mueang Airport Golf Course
It always amazes me that a major airport could possibly have a golf course between the runways!
Where else in the world but for Thailand!!!
CUSTOMER Service is Very bad at this airport.
Staff are not accommodating, They are also not calibrated on their rules and regulations.I hope they properly train their staff , Train them about good customer service , especially the staff ( the old guy ) who checks luggage xray - Very RUDE!!!!!. Also train them to treat people equally, they treat foreigners better than filipinos, parepareho lahat nagbabayad ng terminal fee niyo . Please be considerate & courteous and helpful to others, lalo na sa mga kapwa nila Pilipino na di alam ang gagawin sa airport or mga 1st timers . Ive been to other airports and customer service is good.
Sana may suggestion box or feedback box - or customer service survey sa airport na ito..
Adelaide Bi Planes
It matters not what we locals think about the antics at Aldinga Aerodrome.
Adelaide Bi Planes have no respect, no consideration and simply not interested in the well being of any of the locals.
Now they have this collection to fight the EPA. Rude and wrong as from what I believe, Adelaide Biplanes are responsible for the EPA involvement and subsequent requirement for a EPA license. Now they are asking others to pay to for their obligations?????????
I hear that they even have a sign asking for monies in the women's toilet. How rude.
Problem is that they are extremely cunning in their social media presentations and have sucked in so many who do not live in the area with the tea / cake/ coffee / scones etc.
Now the word is that their will be a wine boutique on the Aerodrome. How can that be allowed?????? A booze outlet on a aerodrome????
What else will these people do to attract attention.
Sad day when Adelaide Biplanes came to Aldinga. Very much also the self appointed industry police who have no hesitation in reporting others but can do no wrong themselves according to some in the area.
And Tony, yes I agree. They are annoying to the inth. Particularly in the summer.
Try having a nice BBQ on a Saturday evening, or even Sunday lunch, beautiful views to the sea from the hills and these people go around and around and around with the constant irritating droning and noise, totally destroying the peace and tranquility.
So who allows this mob to carry on like this?
Maybe we should get a petition going to send them to Parafield.

Adelaide Bi planes
I am a resident of Sellicks Hill and have lived here nearly 30 yrs ,l am not one to stir the pot or carry on unnecessarily , so i would like to think my comments are of a relevant nature.
Up until approximately 2008 the amount of air traffic was totally ok and somewhat enjoyable , but now the constant drone has become a real annoyance . Some days I have counted a minimum of 4 aircraft doing takeoffs and landings continuously during daylight hours not to mention other aircraft coming and going . Im not one to spoil anyones fun but its really got hard to not say anything . My research tells me that theres been restrictions to help improve things but from a residents point of view I cant see any improvement at all .
I have nothing against having a airstrip there and would hate to see it shut but I guess its just a case of " fair go mate " surely Aldinga biplanes could move to somewhere like parafield , this may be a incorrect assumption as I am not a aviator but isnt Parafield there for operations like this ?

Inauguration of International Airport
June, 2015 Multan airport has been announced as international and and in 2 months time, we can see multiple airlines started direct international flight such as. I believe more and more will airlines will follow due to the no. of people travelling from Multan and surrounding cities.

Occupation - none: so what? freakin 3rd World Country!
So what if a traveler has no occupation? If that traveler is living on interest - why would she show her bank acct? daig pa ng BI ang AMLAC w/c needs a court order! Who cares where she/he gets $$$? is there anything written in our constitution or law w/c says that a person ought to have an occupation before she can travel? 3 things w/c limits ur right to travel a) national security, b) public safety, c) public health. What is now the connection between having no occupation & d national security of the Philippines, no occupation & d public safety of the Philippines, no occupation & d public health of the Philippines - mind you - it's NOT a persons health or well being but the nation as a whole!
What guidelines/requirements?
why does the BI/IO penalize Filipino travelers? The following are the only documents a Filipino Tourist (no matter what kind of tourist) need to bring: a) valid passport; b) a visa when needed; c)round trip ticket! the best way to deal with it is just to sue them civilly, administratively, & may be criminally. go to the nearest IBP chapter & ask for legal assistance or to the PAO. w/ due respect to the Human Rights Commission Kuno - go to naia look how d BI screws the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS of Filipino Travelers!
For as long as your travel documents ( passport, visa, plane tickets) are valid Only our courts can prevent a Filipino from travelling! The IO/BI has NO POWER under the law to prevent a Filipino from travelling out of the country! However, I think we're in North Korea w/ the way our government violates our Constitutional guaranteed rights!
My recent experience Jul 2015
The airport has been completely rebuilt and has world class amenities. There is still not enough parking for cars and yes, I dont think there is any car parking facility for long term basis like a day or two. The AAI website says its still work in progress. All charges are hourly basis. However there is long term parking for bikes available. The charges are Rs 50 for 4 hours and 102 for 24 hours. However this a open parking and bike was left in the sun and rain for 3 days. I struggled for 20 min. to get it started!
Landcaster
Tres bel endroit,
YADG
Nice tea and scones , a couple of biplanes and a few taildragging aircraft doesnt make up for ridiculous increases in traffic , crowded circuits , 100hr inexperienced RA instructors and rude unsafe radio etiquette . I'm disgusted at whats become of this once fine example of a Australian GA strip .Its been 9 months since I last landed my twin there and until Adelaide Biplanes and their commercial operation leave it will be my last . It saddens me to think that this is somehow what they want , total control of the YADG CTAF . I feel for the original hangar owners who based their aircraft there , lets hope Casa the EPA and the Aldinga Aviation group do the right thing .
And yes I am anonymous. .. Ive been warned of the smear campaign tactics of ABP .

re: Confirmation?
Reply to @Crimson_Dej: This is the location the FAA has for the heliport.
Very stressful, emotional
Exactly, every single time they want my hub go to the little privat shelter & they requested money. Just 2 weeks ago, the check in man told us to go in the private room to making sure my items went through. I ingored & I never went in; let them do what ever they want. I bet they are not going to hold 1 luggage for each of the 300 flyers, no space.. hahaha. Believe me, you guys ignore them if you don't bring in illegal stuff. I always have lost insurance protection. Ashamed of the Viet Nam Gov't, your Custom's are abusing the system by pocketing Vietkieu's $$$.
Confirmation?
Can anybody actually confirm the location of this heliport? This location appears to be in someones backyard.
Pasagot po? Huhu
Hello po! First time ko po kasi magtravel magisa ko so gusto ko po malaman if kailangan pa po ng parent consent if mag-tra-travel ako eh 18 yrs/old palang po kasi ako. Dko po kasi ako sure kung okay lang na kahit wala ng parent consent baka kasi di ako payagan sa NAIA kung sakali. Haha.
Tapos po sa e-ticket po ba kasama na dun yung mga fees na babayaran sa NAIA?
@Anonymous - Macau
Hi, just wanna ask paano nalaman ng IO na hindi na bumalik ung bf mo?did you tell them?
Discrimination
I was flying from kigali on the 23rd of july and unfortunately it ruined my holiday because of the discrimination against muslim women at the airport. There were 3 of us and we were all wearing the islamic black gown. When we passed the security check for hand-luggage we all passed through the machine without it beeping and yet we were all checked physically by the female officer there. I do not understand why we were physically checked and yet the machine did not beep. Other women were not physically checked if the machine did not beep. This is discrimination against muslim women. Rwanda is an amazing place for a holiday but because of this humiliation I would not recommend anyone visiting Rwanda because of their insulting behaviour at Kigali Airport. I have travelled a lot and I have never come across such rude behaviour. If Rwanda doesn't want muslim women to visit them, they should just say so rather than making us go through this humiliation.

— Anonymous Flyer at Honiara International Airport, Solomon Islands
Reply to @Ozguy: It really needs TLC. Yesterday 18 Aug 2015, the toilets were broken, smelly and unclean. In the departures terminal the toilets were too foul to use. An airport is a major gateway to any country. As the Solomons tries to improve its image, it should start with the airport.
