Vols à Carriacou /Flights to Carriacou
Carriacou est une île magnifique avec une piste courte et étroite de 800m de long.
Je vous conseille de ne pas y atterrir trop chargé (ne pas atteindre la MTOW) car au décollage vous devrez éviter les arbres qui entourent la piste et une colline dans l'axe de piste en faisant un virage à gauche dès que possible.
A l'atterrissage faites attention dans la baie où vous serez en finale, il peut y avoir des bateaux qui mouillent dans l'axe.
Ils n'ont pas d'AVGAS 100LL donc prévoyez assez de fuel pour revenir à l'aérodrome de départ.
Sinon vous avez TVSA qui a du 100LL si besoin.
Prenez soin de vous et bons vols !
ENGLISH :
Carriacou is a beautiful island with a short and narrow 800m long runway.
I advise you not to land there too loaded (do not reach the MTOW) because on take-off you will have to avoid the trees that surround the runway and a hill in the axis of the runway by making a left turn as soon as possible.
When landing, be careful in the bay where you will be on final, there may be boats anchoring in the axis.
They do not have AVGAS 100LL so take enough fuel to return to the departure aerodrome.
Otherwise you have TVSA (St Vincent) which has 100LL if necessary.
Take care of yourself and safe flights
My Home Field
Earned all my ratings here...from PVT up through CFI-IA. Great facilities, 2 flight schools on the field, maintenance is top-notch, Garmin dealer, and plenty of hangar space (not cheap, but not overly out of line for the area). AIrport has been in operation since the 1920s, and has a good working relationship with the town after many years of issues during the 1980s...could stand as an example of how to go along to get along in the most densely populated state in the US.
During COVID time
As a pilot, during COVID time, it's not harder to go to this airport. You just need to find a nice Handler (HARRIS) that will take care of everything when you arrive there (even with a C172). The West Coast of the Island can be turbulent in the afternoon. When I go to Hewanorra coming from the north of the caribbean, I generally pass on the East Coast to make that flight comfortable for passengers.

Possible reactivation
The provincial governor had promised reconstruction of this airport at least as far back as 2018 and progress is being made on reopening it despite COVID related delays.
Amazing approach
Incredible views coming and out of this airport. Very tight canyon
Great gas stop
Nice airport with reasonable Alaskan gas prices

Crazy indeed!
You'd have to be crazy to land here! Fun to fly by though!
Never ending sunset
I landed here at 2am on 7/30 after landing at Deadhorse around midnight. Night may not be the right word since it was basically a 4 hour long sunset/rise. Absolutely incredible
Elevation: ZERO!
Great airport with helpful service, chilled FBO, and cheap gas. But I came here for the selfie with the airport sign showing "Elevation: 0.0"!
First gravel strip
Landed here in a bonanza v35. Amazing park and service in McCarthy. Runway was fine and we had a great time exploring the glacier
Friendly line service
Stopped here for gas on my way to norther AK. Staff came out to pump my gas and even gave us two homemade cookies!
Great Service
Stopped to see 90 year old aunt. Flew her around Albany.
Update
I've given this a provisional name based on the location, but I've come up with the same problem as @im -- not mapped, no data available. More research needed.
Crowded airport
I have been to the San Diego airport several times to drop my mom it is a very crowded airport but still the management here works very fast we didn't have to stand in line for a long time.

Landed in SR22T G6
Very bumpy surface, I’d say its “iffy” for a Cirrus with wheel pants. Incredible spot, short walk to wonderful beach, tie downs and picnic tables on site. Need to sign a waiver and agreement with the operator before landing.
FAA oddity - a CA coded airport in Nevada
Per Airnav:
Sectional chart: (AIRPORT IS 10 MILES INTO NEVADA. THE CLOSEST ASSC CITY IS BISHOP, CA - AND IS CORRECTLY CHARTED ON SAN FRANCISCO SECTIONAL.)
Since it's not actually in California, I have corrected the data to reflect that it is indeed closer to Dyer, Nevada.
Army National Guard Helicopter LZ
Used for landings in support of frequent Texas ANG helicopter operations at this lake.

Hello! How to download these georeferenced satellite images?
Corrected.
It only took a decade ... but yeah, we're all good here now.
Good gas stop
Must have been an old military base. Massive runway. ForeFlight said fair condition but I would say it was good
Great restaurant!
Stopped to meet my brother and sister-in-law. The restaurant gave us a bowl of water for our dogs. Very friendly

My instructor pointed out this field a while ago, and every time I fly above it - it does look like an airport. I tried simulated engine failure to approach in this airfield but it's pretty steep on one end and very close to Livermore on the other. Not sure if this is a private field or maybe it never went into operation. Could not find any information about it either
good gas stop
TWO avgas pumps!!
Great gas stop!
Loved stopping here for gas, classic small town airport
Smooth landing
This airport had one of the smoothest runways I’ve landed on!
(no subject)
Visited May 31, 2021. Courtesy car available, but we didn’t use it. Terminal entry door for pilots is on parking lot side of building.
Not Functional
The aiport is no longer functional. It's been converted to a flea market and landing there would be virtually impossible.
Nice place to go
I am here for a few days to finish up my private certificate. Will probably consider coming back to get commercial and IFR.
Update
Signed as closed and for sale. Gliderport field is overgrown and now dotted with bushes. Checked in-person 15 May 2021.
Repurposing duplicate
Reusing Snyder Airport duplicate to cover nearby hospital heliport.

Terminal interior is being renovated. Looks like a few year job. Runway is very good.
Independent Helicopters (76NY) now under KSWF airspace
new site added Jun2020
Beutiful New Airport BUT
Not maned no office no bathroom beware
Great AIrport
Quick fuel turnaround
poor shape
this airport is in poor condition, not sure if its really even open as there were small X's on the runway
fees
$309 for a bonanza. not as bad as SFO's $365
Needs TLC
The terminal building really needs some cleaning and TLC. Runway is in good shape.
Can you imagine an airport here?
Per http://www.aerofiles.com/airports-CA.html, "[approx: 37-43-22N, 119-38-09W] (19??-19??) 1927 = W of Yosemite Village; "approximately 1300' square grass field, very dangerous." 1928 = (L) (Standard Oil ad, WnFly 1/28). 19?? = (R) Closed to flying activity." The listed coordinates place this at El Capitan Meadow! This does not appear to be listed on Freeman's Abandoned Airports site.
Great Facility
Visited April 2021. Friendly "manager", helped with self serve fuel. Courtesy vehicle available. Great dinosaur museum in town.
Site of Arizona Flying Circus Fly-in
Not quite the same location as the old dedicated airfield to the west, but in a way this resort continues to have aviation facilities in the 21st century. Pretty neat.

What a fun approach! Met family there and when the attendant saw kids come into the airport, he gave them all rubber band balsa gliders.
Great Ranch!
Highly recommend, permission required to land but definitely a great place to visit! Go on a safari and shoot a flamethrower!
Nice Airport
This is a very nice airprort
My Experience
Wouldn't Even Talk About This Airport If It Didn't Have A White Castle And The World's Largest Chevron. Very Nice Airport.
Very Crammed Airport
So Many Stuff And People Its Hard To Get Around. Outside I Hear Lots Of Cars. Worse Density Than SFO Or Even JFK Airport
My Experience
Vegas Is Very Nice Compared To NYC. A Beautiful City Near Lake Mead.
Brand New Laguardia
A Brand New Modern Airport! I Am Glad To Only Be A 15 Minute Drive FROM It.
Very Nice Flight Service
Nice Airport, Modern, Nice, Lots Of Things To Do. My Flight To Vancouver Was Wonderful!
Nice facility
