Projeto Aeroporto HC Primeira Cruz
O projeto do Aeroporto HC Primeira Cruz foi desenvolvido com foco em realismo e funcionalidade, trazendo para o simulador uma experiência imersiva e fiel às características regionais. A pista foi cuidadosamente posicionada e dimensionada para refletir as condições reais, com marcações e iluminação configuradas para operações seguras tanto diurnas quanto noturnas. A ambientação conta com exclusão de vegetação nas áreas operacionais e um entorno que preserva o charme e a geografia local, permitindo voos VFR e IFR de forma autêntica. Ideal para pilotos virtuais que desejam explorar o Maranhão de maneira única.

Estado do aeródromo.
Não sei como está agora (2024), mas quando morei e trabalhei na cidade, era muito mal cuidado, com o mato tomando conta da pista, e no seu entorno. Sem demarcação alguma nem indicação de que ali seria um aeródromo. Realmente lamentável, já que é uma localidade relativamente longe de tudo e de serviços exenciais como centros médicos adequados. Faria toda a diferença para a população, saber que poderia contar com uma remoção aérea no caso de emergência.

Is this a duplicate of SCGL? What is the proper one?
Unique.
Enjoyed the long walk to the waiting aircraft from the boarding gate passing through a garden. Not seen it on any other airport I have been.
Great!
Although my time in Ecuador wasn’t that great, this airport became my favourite during my trip in South America. Uncomplicated, clean, spacious, plenty of seating areas with direct view of the runway.

Incorrect ident
The ident for this airport should be SPJC, not SPIM. Unfortunately the ident can not be edited by my own, hence leaving this comment here hoping someone with the edit privileges follows-up.
Failed info
This airport does not exist.
Please check you information.
Therebis one but in Mato Grosso state
Good overall
Been there in 2019, very well kept and equipped, nice stores and easy locomotion inside the airport
SGAS actual location
While the actual location of SGAS is in Luque city, people commonly associate this airport with Asuncion. This association is reflected in its official IATA code, "ASU", and ICAO code, SGAS, where 'SG' stands for Paraguay and 'AS' for Asuncion. Therefore, I suggest to change location to Asuncion.
Puerto Natales
Puerto Natales is a not a good airport, the line streched out of the airport and it took us 2 hours to get to the plane.
Santiago Airport
I was flying LATAM from Puerto Natales, Chile and It was surprising how fast it was! We landed and the taxi was only 5 minutes, getting off the plane and the walk was long to baggage claim. Then we got some more Chilean Pesos and we went on our way.
Terminals 1 and 2
I was flying from Ezeiza to Ushuaia and Terminal One was so small, crowded and terrible. I had to wake up at 2:00 AM for a 7:00 AM flight and we took off at 11:00 AM. Aerolineas Argentinas and Terminal 1 were terrible, but Terminal 2 was Great!
TERMINAL 2: I was flying on American Airlines from MIA-EZE and customs was ok, some kid barfed in the line and the customs line was a little long but the customs agent was nice and we got thru easily, it was modern and had restaurants, cafes and more.
Ushuaian Approach - SAWH View of EAU
If you go to SAWH, like I did. And grab a F seat you can get a very good view of EAU. Just wanted to share that fact!
Ushuaian Approach
I have been to SAWH Twice. The runway 25 approach is stunning! Try grabbing seat A of any row! It is crazy beautiful.

Looks like this airport does not exist anymore. The code SEJM has been removed from the latest ICAO7910 doc.
re: Upgrade
Reply to @pilotfan21: all of the above is done!

Just saying that some of the apron is still there along with some taxiways.

Ushuaia Naval Air Base plays an important role in Argentina's defense and national security strategy, as well as in supporting scientific research and civilian activities in the region.

From closed problem report: «It is appropriate to use zzzz DEP/DEST/ALTN "EAU".»
re: Aproximação
Reply to @HighTech: Compreendo que esteja animado para visitar Santiago e experimentar a beleza do aeroporto. No entanto, gostaria de lembrar que o uso de simuladores de voo, como o FSX, é apenas uma representação virtual da experiência de voar e pode não refletir com precisão a realidade.
Ao visitar Santiago, certifique-se de estar ciente das restrições de viagem atuais e de seguir as diretrizes de saúde e segurança relacionadas à pandemia COVID-19. Também é importante estar ciente das leis e regulamentos locais e respeitá-los durante sua estadia.
Santiago é uma cidade vibrante e emocionante, com muitas coisas para ver e fazer. Certifique-se de planejar sua visita com antecedência e aproveitar ao máximo sua experiência na cidade.

Great runway
big
learned how to drive here
SEQU remains in use ...
But only as a heliport for the Ecuadorian military and local fire and police departments.
re: KP 395 Decommisioned
According to AIC 04/20 it wasn't decommisioned yet, it is planned to be disabled by 2025.
The correct ICAO code (year 2022) is SD9C
The correct ICAO code (year 2022) for this airport is SD9C, as can be seen here:
can not see heliport
I can not see a visible structure for a heliport, maybe on grass, but not near a swimming pool

Active airstrip?
The houses are dangerously close to the runway if it's still in use.

Fiedl 'ident' in CSV file uses old ICAO (SPIM) instead of ne
I am reporting that the CSV dump of the airport DB for the 'ident' field still uses the old ICAO, SPIM, instead of the new one, SPJC.
My understanding is that the 'ident' field is about ICAO code, from the Data dictionary page (https://ourairports.com/help/data-dictionary.html):
"The text identifier used in the OurAirports URL. This will be the ICAO code if available. Otherwise, it will be a local airport code (if no conflict), or if nothing else is available, an internally-generated code starting with the ISO2 country code, followed by a dash and a four-digit number."
