Flights into SVCL Calabozo

I looked at flying into SVCL, however there is no way you can fly into and out of this airport in a class 7 aircraft as the runway length is only 4789 Ft long.

Flights into SVCL Calabozo

Well, I am glad that finally I am not alone with this. Thanks Bruce. I wrote this last year:

"Here are some of past recommendations:

Venezuela:

1. Flights EHM7038, 7039, 7176, 7177, 7622, 7623, C503, C502
These flights operate in SVCL which is a VERY small airport with a 4788' long runway, no lights, no nothing.
2. Flights EHM-H1123, H1139
These operate in SVFM which is an AFB not for commercial use. It has a 5970' long runway at 2738' altitude just in the heart of capital Caracas.
3. Flights EHM-H1125, H1141
These operate in SVSO which is also an AFB. Prior to commercial use it requires authorization from the military. I hate to do that.

Ever since I joined EHM I had posted a couple of times this matter. I also suggested to include the following commercial international airports: SVBC (9890' runway) and SVMC (also 9890' runway and my hometown. Please!) "

Good pilots keep their number of landings equal to their number of takeoffs. Takeoffs are optional but landings are Mandatory.
