Ayacucho, Peru
Forgot to say that takeoffs are not permitted at dusk no matter what. This seems to be common for the mountainous airports in Peru.
Ayacucho, Peru
No fuel available at this time, nor for the last 7 years. Airport is on a mesa with high ground all around it. It has an NDB approach, but it doesn't work very well due to location except for enroute navigation. Runway surface has a lot of small, pea gravel sized aasphlt rocks on it, so use of reverse is not reccomended (nor needed, as the runway is plenty long). Airport elevation is about 9000 feet MSL. Good services as regards flight planning, walking distance cafes, taxis to town, bathrooms, etc. Helicopter operations are frequent in the vicinity. We use an overhead entry to a left downwind for runway 20, but the locals will often use a long straight in approach. Power lines on the ridge on final for rwy 20. Tower speaks pretty good English.

Very low ceilings on the way to/from the gates, kind of suffocating. Hardly any mechanical escalators to/from the gates.
Missing NDB
CLM 345 kHz Cano Limon NDB is not on the map. 6 55 54 N, 71 09 28 W, 424ft. This may be a private NDB but has been received in Texas up to March 2012.
NDB decommissioned
SBB 336 kHz was decommissioned Oct 2008.
TME 270 kHz was decommissioned Apr 2009.

Interesting approaching procedures!
UIO airport is a very interesting and it takes a while to know the approaching procedures specially using VOR and ILS. Give it a try! A beautiful city in one of the best countries I ever visit
Dangerous
I was air america pilot here I 1980s. Best to be well trained before arrival. Mountains 3 sides. Severe drop off cliffs on both ends. There is no go around unless you are in a fighter. Approach straight in land to west take off to east. Always low ceiling and fog mist. Surrounded by river. We could get loaded c130 in here. Barely. Had a leased dehavilland that was better and safer. Oh yes there is a volcano off the east end about 7 miles outnon otherwise flat terrain. This is a real got ya if you are not paying attention. Also we are missing a c130 and crew out there somewhere. If you find wreckage report it.

Airport/Runway

re: Typo in Region name
Reply to @carmuz: corrected -- thanks.
No airports here
I'm peruvian and I haven't seen an airport in this city, ever !!! Not even in Flight Simulator.
Typo in Region name
Region name is JunÃn, not Júnin.
re: Mansel closed
Thanks for the comment. I don't see any sign of an active airport in the satellite picture, so I've marked it as "closed" for now, unless I find any new information.
Mansel closed
Mansel airport has been closed for ever.
Upgrade
I agree that they should increase the runway to at least 10,000ft and upgrade the airport with boarding bays and add another terminal so more airlines will have accommodations Into Cheddi Jagan which will allow aircrafts like the 747 jumbo jet and the largest aircraft airbus a380, and will have more flights from Pearson International. i also recommend that they install an (Instrument Landing System) on every runway so aircrafts can do ILS landing in foggy conditions and low visibility.

Complaint
It is a great idea and it is very useful to track flights, however it is disrespectful to keep this kind of information if it is not updated. I checked right now the Avior (9V) 1220 Flight departuring from Barcelona, Venezuela and it appears scheduled, and really it is delayed. and the delay is more than one hour.
Fabulous Museum - Best in South America
Better known as Campo dos Afonsas home to Brazilian AF Museum (long white building bottom left) plus some active military - if you like old aircraft look a couple of miles to north for C-47 and C-119 (seperate sites) both in very good condition outside military buildings.....

Aeroporto de Guarapari.
Dentro da TMA Vitoria, a pista e bem pavimentada, opera diurno apenas, administrado pela
Prefeitura local, não tem hangaragem coberta, mas e muito bem cuidado e vigiado. A praia do Morro (infelizmente horrÃvel) pode ser alcançada a pe, apenas alguns quarteirões. Não tem combustÃvel de forma regular. A cabeceira 06 e turbulenta a maior parte do ano, causa apenas algum incomodo no pouso com vento nordeste (predominante). Gastronomia em Guarapari, frutos do mar, praia, experimente Bacutia, mergulho, vá aos naufrágios Belucia e Victory, fuja do argentino.
Facilidades do aeroporto
O aeroporto possui hangaragem coberta para pernoite, restaurante nos fins de semana, oficina homologada, hospedagem sob consulta, escola de pilotos. Telefone: 55-27-32601136, a freqüência de coordenação e a livre! Para entrada na TMA use a freqüência 119,85. As decolagens devem ter plano ou notificação de vôo, sala AIS SBVT 55-27-32356367. Meteo SBVT 55-27-32356339. SIVU não opera noturno. A CTR SBVT possui REAS. Pistas 05 e 23, asfalto 900 metros. Térmicas e pássaros sao freqüentes nas duas cabeceiras.

Lavalpa Heliport
Easy to approach, clear and secured landing area! Lavalpa is a private property with over 200.000 sqm and 24hrs surveillance which makes it ideal for "private" landing. Usage mainly by companies executives for visits in Jacareà and São José dos Campos, also used by the Governor of São Paulo and the militar police. The heliport is situated in the city center, 4km from rodovia presidente Dutra
Runway
The government is planning to extend the runway to 10,000ft and build a new terminal but it has not been approved yet. Look it up @GuyanaTimesGy.com
