Val Veny Zerotta helicopter landing zone
Unprepared landing area located in the Zerotta valley near La Thuile, at approximately 1500–1600 m AMSL. The site offers wider and more accessible terrain compared to high alpine locations, with grassy fields and relatively gentle slopes.
Rifugio Deffeyes Helicopter landing site
High-altitude alpine landing area located near Rifugio Deffeyes at approximately 2500 m AMSL. The site offers limited flat terrain, with most usable spots consisting of small, uneven alpine clearings or snow-covered areas depending on the season. A challenging, non-prepared alpine LZ, requiring advanced mountain flying skills and careful performance planning
La Thuile Helicopter landing site
Unimproved alpine landing area located near Lago Verney at approximately 2100–2300 m AMSL. The terrain offers relatively flat sections, suitable for light helicopter operations, especially in winter conditions when snow cover smooths surface irregularities.A non-certified alpine LZ with good space but demanding conditions. Suitable only for skilled pilots familiar with high-altitude operations no icao
Helipad Piedimulera
Located in the municipality of Piedimulera, in the lower Anzasca Valley near Pieve Vergonte, this is an unregistered heli operating site with no ICAO designation.
Operational profile:
Surface: generally firm ground (grass/gravel), more stable than high-altitude sites
Space: moderate, suitable for light to medium helicopters
Environment: valley setting with surrounding terrain but fewer constraints than alpine peaks
Winds: possible valley channeling, but typically more manageable
Usage:
Primarily used for local operations, logistics, and occasional rescue support, acting as a practical staging point between the valley floor and higher mountain areas.
Summary:
A functional, non-certified landing area offering relatively straightforward operations compared to high-altitude sites. Suitable for pilots with basic mountain flying awareness, but still requiring attention to terrain and local wind conditions.
Eliporto Calasca
Located in the municipality of Calasca-Castiglione, just above Pieve Vergonte in the Anzasca Valley, this is an unofficial mountain landing site with no ICAO designation.
The area is typically used for alpine operations, rescue, and logistics, serving as a transition point between the valley floor and high-altitude routes toward Monte Rosa.
Pilot notes:
Surface: unprepared / variable (grass, gravel, or compacted ground)
Space: limited, with surrounding terrain constraints
Winds: can be unpredictable due to valley effects
Obstacles: terrain and vegetation nearby
Operations: short stays only, engines usually kept running
Summary:
A practical but non-standard alpine landing spot. Suitable only for experienced pilots familiar with mountain flying and confined area operations.
Cervinia Heliport
Breuil-Cervinia Helipad (Breuil-Cervinia) is a high-altitude alpine landing site (~2000 m) used mainly for rescue and heliski operations.
From a pilot’s perspective, this is a demanding VFR environment with:
strong and unpredictable mountain winds
significant density altitude effects
limited landing space and no standard airport infrastructure
There is no ICAO code, no ATC, and no IFR support—operations rely entirely on pilot skill and situational awareness.
Rifugio Monzino
Rifugio Monzino is a high-altitude, non-certified landing zone at ~2,590 m on an exposed ridge in the Mont Blanc massif. It is regularly used for HEMS and supply operations, not for general aviation.
ISLA DEL MALPELO
Helicopter operations are infrequent and typically reserved for: ARMATA NATIONAL DE COLUMBIA This is not a standard aviation facility, but a high-risk, niche landing zone that reflects the raw and isolated nature of Malpelo. It stands as a unique example of how aviation can adapt to extreme environments with minimal infrastructure.
Ward Hunt Island aorstrip
There are no markings, no infrastructure, and no navigation aids. The surface varies between frozen ground, gravel, and ice depending on the season, making every landing highly dependent on pilot experience and real-time conditions. Operations here are typically conducted by highly specialized STOL aircraft such as the Twin Otter, often equipped with skis or tundra tires.
Approaches are entirely visual. Pilots rely on GPS coordinates, prior briefing data, and environmental awareness rather than any formal aviation system. Weather conditions are unpredictable and unforgiving—low visibility, extreme cold, and shifting ice can rapidly turn a routine landing into a high-risk operation.
Despite its simplicity, Ward Hunt plays a crucial role. It is one of the northernmost accessible points by aircraft and serves as a staging area for expeditions to the North Pole, as well as a support base for climate and ice research on the nearby Ward Hunt Ice Shelf.
There is no room for error here. No ATC, no rescue infrastructure, and no second chances. Every operation must be carefully planned and executed with precision.
Overall assessment:
Ward Hunt Island Airstrip is a raw, uncompromising example of true bush and polar aviation—reserved only for experienced crews operating at the edge of the possible.
re: المطار مفتوح للرحلات الدولية وعدد 2 مهابط جديدة
Reply to @SRX: على سبيل المثال، في مدينة أو قرية حاج البحري (لا أعرف إن كانت تُعتبر مدينة أم قرية)، يوجد مطار على بُعد حوالي ميل واحد إلى الجنوب الشرقي، لكنه غير مُشار إليه على الخريطة هنا.
re: المطار مفتوح للرحلات الدولية وعدد 2 مهابط جديدة
Reply to @SRXهل يمكنك تزويدي بتحديث حول حالة المدارج النشطة والصالحة للعمل في ليبيا؟ على سبيل المثال، يبدو أن مطار HL0N AI Booster مدرج مهجور وغير نشط، ولا يوجد فيه أي حركة.:
Glacier du Dolent
1. Valley entry
enter via:
Val Ferret (Italy or Switzerland)
low altitude → gradual climb
2. Reconnaissance (essential)
first high pass (300–500 ft above)
check:
slope
wind (snow drift indications)
crevasses
3. Direction choice
Always:
land into the wind
BUT also:
land uphill (uphill landing)
n the mountains this is more important than the runway itself
4. Final approach
short and direct
no guaranteed go-around.
A very dangerous area for landings, and difficult even for experienced mountain pilots. Yet, from time to time, someone still lands there or performs a touch-and-go without leaving any documentation of the landing spot or the type of approach used
Idroscalo di Spotorno
The Spotorno Seaplane Base is a flight school for seaplanes and also offers tourist flights in the area. The Spotorno Seaplane Base is connected to the Pianfei airfield, which is located on land and not on the sea, just a few kilometers away. The official website is provided above.
McGill Artic Station
Unprepared tundra landing area with uneven surface and variable bearing strength. STOL operations only; subject to katabatic winds, turbulence, and surrounding terrain hazards. Low-level reconnaissance pass required prior to landing.

Verkhnee Penzhino
A former civilian/technical airstrip used in the past for local connections (the Magadan/Kamchatka network), with very few facilities: possibly just a small service building near the village, but nothing that would qualify as a real hangar or terminal.no ICAO CODE
Lakolk Strand, Rømø [Off-Airport]
Romo Beach is a temporary runway used for military exercises. Temporary runways can also be created on highways, glaciers, or open fields in the countryside, and they do not have an ICAO or IATA identifier. Reality is very different from the simulated world: EKXX is an invention and does not exist in real life.
Main runway of the Valunistoe mining complex
Main runway of the Valunistoe mining complex
Valunistoe (airport)
It is located exactly in the area of the “Valunistoe” gold-silver deposit (Валунистое месторождение), operated by the company ООО «Rudnik Valunisty».
In Russian documents, it is referred to as a «взлётно-посадочная площадка на месторождении», meaning a takeoff-and-landing strip at the mining site, not an actual airport.
Agencies such as TASS regularly mention flights “Anadyr – Rudnik Valunisty”, meaning there is (or was) a regular or charter connection from Anadyr directly to the “Rudnik Valunisty” mining site, but it is always described as a mine destination, not as a certified airport.

Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport
11/sect/2021 As part of the radio navigation aid decommissioning program carried out by ENAV in accordance with European regulations for the transition to PBN procedures, on September 9, 2021, the Bari Locator ‘BPL’ 401.00 kHz and the Sorrento NDB ‘SOR’ 426.00 kHz were officially shut down. Consequently, all NDB STARs, NDB SIDs (L) 07 and 25, RNAV DIVKU 3F, and ILS/LOC X 07 and L 07 procedures at Bari have been suspended. The navigation aids were turned off via NOTAM, and after an impact assessment period, their permanent removal will be made official in the AIP through the AIRAC cycle.
The next scheduled shutdowns involve the Locators and NDBs of Falconara (November 4), Turin (November 4), Linate (December 2), and Pescara (December 2), followed by Perugia, Reggio Calabria, Voghera, and Genoa by the end of the year.
Aereo Club I Templari
The real name of the airfield has always been Ceraso. It hasn’t changed in many years, so it’s simpler to just call it that.
Aero Club I Templari
So, the "Il Nido delle Aquile" airfield has changed its name and is now called the "Aero Club I Templari". New management, and that's it.
I've attached the link to the official website.

re: Also known as Genoa-Sestri
here in Italy there are no districts, delegations or counties ------ you see it says REGION = Liguria, PROVINCE = Genoa with the writing GE, MUNICIPALITY = GENOA always with the writing GE.
