Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Nantes Atlantique Airport, France:

The present airport situated in the South of Nantes is going to move soon to the North of Nantes, between Rennes and Nantes.

It is intended to become the main airport of the West of France.

It is likely that much of the traffic now going through CDG Paris will go through this new airport in a few years.

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Beja Airport, Portugal:

Yes the Alentejo region is beautiful. Beja Airport can only be an advantage in the future when the global economy and tourism picks up. We have 15 acres of land approximately 12 kilometres from the airport. There are around 40 mature olive trees and planning consent. We also have drawings to build a large villa with pool. We are moving to New Zealand in a year's time and have decided to sell this land. If anyone is interested the cost is £85,000. There is electricity nearby and a borehole can be installed very easily. For further information please contact me on 07787 133048. I will be in the Beja region at the end of January for viewings.

unfortunatly the recievers around you at Goch, isnt very many if none at all, and where no Reciever are,. then no

aircrafts are shown.

Look forward to meeting all who visit EDLM,. Hope you dont forget to switch on your ADS-B Transponders.

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Beja Airport, Portugal:

Oh my goodness, what a load of rubbish left by the last person. The Alentejo is wonderful, beautiful, with lovely friendly people, fabulous cuisine and the BEST wines in Portugal. Far nicer than the north. I have travelled for many years in Portugal, I should know. The airport one day will be fantastic and will allow lucky folk to visit the likes of Evora, Beja and Mertola, with many other beautiful towns and villages, some in sweet hill settings. For goodness sake, the Alentejo has a slow way of life, eventually the airport will be busier but things go at an Alentejo speed!! I truly hope the Alentejo doesn´t get over populated, this gives the area the charm and piecefulness that most folk with hectic lives seek.

If you mean ILS approach, yes they do. Only 10% are visual approaches. Runway 27 is ILS CAT IIIA an RWY 09 is CAT I. CAT IIIA is the second best available nowadays. For more information en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_landing_system

Thank you for the information about the new NDB. There hasn't been a good source of international navaid data since the DAFIF stopped open distribution a few years ago, and it's wonderful news that the UK has actually commissioned a new NDB when so many are closing. I've added the NDB here: http://www.ourairports.com/navaids/KMB/Kemble_NDB_GB/

Myself and a friend landed here in two Flight Design CTSWs and we both got nose-wheel punctures from thorns, most likely as we taxied off the western end of the dirt runway - it has to be said that the nose tyres on these planes have little tread even when new and that our main-wheels and the wheels on other heavier aircraft did not seem to be affected.
