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 horrível) pode ser alcançada a pe, apenas alguns quarteirões. Não tem combustível 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.

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 Jacareí 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

Scheduled service to/from General Villamil Airport

There is scheduled airline service as i saw firsthand, but only 1 flight per day.

Emetebe Avionetas

info from tripwolf as Emetebe's website is up and down:

Emetebe Avionetas (offices in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Puerto Ayora and Puerto Villamil are given in the corresponding sections below; in Guayaquil T04-229 2492) offer inter-island flights in two light twin-engine aircraft. Two daily flights operate between Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (San Cristóbal), Baltra and Puerto Villamil (Isabela), most days except Sunday, but this varies with passenger demand. All fares US$158 one way, including taxes.

Approach remarks

High trees near THR 35.

Nice scenic view on short final approach to Rwy 17.

Picture of

Runway

Increase the length of the runway to accommodate larger jets. Also upgrade to international standards with boarding bays like all other international airports eg Piarco has those, so passengers don't have to climb down those antique stairs, then walk to the terminal building etc. The planes can just pull up to the bays and passengers get off and walk into the airconditioned building and straight to customs and immigration.

Does this airport really exist?

I cannot find any information about this airport. There seems to be a confusion with SVTA (which actually should be SVAT)

Runway designation?

The runway designation appears to be missing.

Colonia Nueva Valencia, grass strip and production site

I've been looking for this place for so long, and much to my surprise it is now clearly identified by Our Airports...

I had spotted this grass strip with Google but wasn't sure about it being the place I had visited in 1967. I was 19, ad traveled all the way up there from Buenos Aires on a single Piper Comanche with my father and two other guys, who were pilots. One of them was Cesare Preve, as the whole place, land and production site, was owned by the Frugone & Preve Ltd. My Italian-born father was manager for that company.

What memories! It was SOP before landing to overfly the site to have someone driving to the strip to pick us up, and to sweep the strip to make sure no loose cattle was around; before take off, a careful sdrive along the strip made sure that no cows could be close enough to opt for grazing across it. Sorting out unexpected quadrupeds while taking off from a soft field on a single-engine plane with four on board could make your day.

A story was told, that when the bushes were cleared up to lay down the air strip, a peaceful family of local indios, isolated and unknown to all, were found and had to be relocated somewhere else...

Not much to add, except I hope the families now living there are healthy, happy and watch their children grow up in that marvelous natural environment ... adios amigos

re: Wrong Coordinates

Thanks for the correction, Thorsten -- I can see the runway clearly at those coordinates, and have edited the airport.

Picture of

Wrong Coordinates

The real coordinates for Caruru Airport are 1.0136 latitude -71.2961 longitude / 1 00 49 N 71 47 16 W. Those are the official dates from Aerocivil of Colombia. Anyway with those coordinates you easily find the runway even in Google Earth.

With best regards,

re: Right name

Reply to @david: Ok, I can see now. (and understand the site and the page). I´ve moved the heliport position at the right site.

Picture of david

re: I´m not sure

Reply to @ptomblin: OK, I've moved the airport to that location -- it looks reasonable. Haven't changed the runway yet.

Picture of david

re: Right name

Reply to @choppergb: thanks. I've moved "HAT" to the local identifier field (so that it appears at the top of the right sidebar, and will show up in searches, etc.), translated the name back into English, and put the Spanish name in the keywords field (it shows up at the bottom of the right sidebar). I'll do the same for the other heliports.

re: I´m not sure

Reply to @choppergb: You're right, there is definitely a more obvious airport at that location, and it is closer to Yapeyu city.

Picture of choppergb

I´m not sure

I´m not sure, but for Yapeyu web pages the aeroclub is close to Yapeyu city ( 29°26'38.96"S 56°49'24.90" W) .

The MADHEL (book the airport and heliport Argentina) say rwy 04/22 but that runway isn´t 04/22 may be 16/34.

Picture of choppergb

re: Right name

Reply to @david: Hi, HAT is the local argentina identification (like SAEZ (international) is EZE (local) and is Ezeiza airport the name)

re: Real name

Reply to @david: Hi, I´m the pilot (Transener pilot, and all the Transener heliport is under my responsability ). No problem with the helipad, is far away to the high-voltage lines.
