Here I learned to fly !!
Everyone already knows the definition by which a "good landing" is one after which you can leave the plane on its own legs. But few know the definition of "big landing": and one after which you can use the plane another time.
re: Multiple IATA/ICAO codes
Reply to @dmomper: Right now, there's no capability, but I've added "LSZM" and the extra IATA codes to the keywords, so that they'll at least show up in searches.
re: new info
Reply to @Jan_Olieslagers: Updated the airport name and code, and added a link to the Wikipedia article.
Uninhabited island
This island in the Pacific Ocean is uninhabited (except by occasional expeditions or cast-aways), and is a direct possession of France rather than part of one of its overseas territories. It does not belong to any Region or Department.

Cool that the electrical lines are buried where they cross the strip but you'll probably break your landing gear if you try to land here, it's full of huge potholes.
(no subject)
It's not suitable to land as it has meter high vegetation.
(no subject)
Actually it's a grass runway and quite hard to spot if you're not familiar with it.

Small private airfield in a small tourist lodging with pool :)

It was improved recently for an ultra light aircraft fly-in event but military authorisation is required to use it.

Alicante Airport Guide
I found useful information for the Alicante airport on https://alicanteairport.guide
If you are planning to visit this airport you will lots of helpful details on this site.
re: Another Ukraien International Airport!
I assume it at least has customs for private aircraft.
Road crossing runway
From the Wikipedia article:
"Winston Churchill Avenue (the main road heading towards the land border with Spain) intersects the airport runway, and consequently has to be closed every time a plane lands or departs."
Still open (2019)
If flew in again this spring. Yes, it's still here. The airport is a bit shabby and run-down, but you can't beat it for convenience—just a quick short distance away from the centre of the city.
re: LFSL
Reply to @Tgd: Thanks for the update! We're a community-driven initiative, and if you have time, you are very welcome to edit the airport entry to make the changes. If not, then hopefully one of our other volunteers will have a chance to get to it.
LFSL
Toul AB doen’t exist anymore : it’s been converted to a solar farm...
LFSL is Brive-Souillac airport (BVE).
Please update your database.

Great facilities. Friendly airport team
Pilots-
FISO Clive is great in the tower along with his friendly colleague who books you out. Good choices of Runway. Asphalt. Not a long taxi. Airport Manager is hard-working and eager. Good fuel prices. Competitive landing fees. JetA1 and 100LL available.
Visitors-
Great Café with a wide range of snacks, sandwiches hot, and beverages. Easy navigation from car park with plenty of spaces daily to café. Garden area for youngers to play around and watch the aircrafts.
Don't linger
I've traveled to and through here quite a bit over the past few years, because of work. It's an OK terminal, but it's not designed for you to linger anywhere (until your gate is open). Just keep moving.
Also, food vendors ask to see your boarding pass, which is a bit strange.
Train connections are excellent. Don't even *think* about getting into Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, etc any other way.
Easy transit into the city
Copenhagen no longer has Uber. Taxis are slow and insanely expensive. The Metro is cheap, fast, and will take you right into the downtown train station, or (with a single, easy transfer) to the UN offices and the cruise ship port.

re: This airport should move soon to another place
FWIW, the decision to move from Nantes Atlantique Airport in the South of Nantes to Notre Dame Des Landes in the North of Nantes has been abandoned.
Heliport to be listed
Currently in use by Italian com^pany Alidaunia
This gliding field is no more, and the gliding club has move
After the gliding club based at Den Helder Naval Station ("de Kooy") was forced to find a new place to fly due to increasing off-shore helicopter traffic based at this NAS as well, the club found this farmer's field in Middenmeer (Wieringermeer). This glider-only field has now been decommissioned after utilities company Nuon took an interest in their field to put up a few windmills and made an offer to move the entire club and its operations to a new field just south of Hypolitushoef. Brand new field, facilities, all of it, very nice. The new addres is Hippolytushoeverweg 15a, 1774 MK Slootdorp, Netherlands and they can be reached on w3-zweef-nl or +31 6 22537070.
Never again possible ...
Happy to be there before final closed this beautiful place
GREAT CAFE
There's a great Cafe here.
Runway change

Nice looking airport!
I'm having fun with the simulator. I like to use airports in Germany to test the sim. I would like, however, to visit this airport someday.

I want to fly to the nearest airport to septfonds

Interesting approach. Fly down the little fjord and then climb to land. Optical illusion that the runway is short since there is a jump mid fields.
(no subject)
É um excelente aeródromo
Runways aren’t lighted!!!
This marvellous airport does not have lit runways.
(no subject)
Closed since 2000. How can be in "acceptable condition" in 2018? At least chech more recent photos !!!
Mod Base
Certainly is an interesting airfield to land at, big wide runway. Not a lot to do there other than have a tea or coffee. Being a military getting on and off can be a little difficult%. Bring photo ID if you want to go off camp and allow extra time to be ferried on and off camp.
Friendliest airport/club
We arrived there in G-FIZZ back in October we were treated to a tour of the museum and biplane aircraft. The club chairman insisted we put our aircraft in the hanger for the night.
Looking forward to returning.

The runway is 03/21

LECH is no longer Calamocha, it is now Castellón-Costa de Azahar ant it has an AUTO METAR.
Please update
Volar
The coolest flying club in Spain.
