A visitor from - posted Sun March 4, 2012: This fence has been removed.This is now the normal approach for Caticlan.I noticed no one ever mentioned that the usable runway length is only 850 meters and the wind is normally gusting at 20-30 knots with wind shear on low finals,note this is not a small turboprop,it is a 72-seater.My pilot friends tell me,you don't only need the nerve to fly this but also balls of steel!
A visitor from - posted Thu March 1, 2012: I think is the construction of tht road at the fence of the airport suppose to go dawn a bit.if the road is not nearer in height to the fence i think the aircraft can get more cearance between the fence nd the landing

A visitor from - posted Sat July 31, 2010: SCARY shot, I wonder how these pilots get used to landinfg like this everyday at Caticlan...
A visitor from Philippines posted Sun October 4, 2009: So low! Unfortunately all bigger turboprops that used to service Caticlan are transferred to a nearby airport in Kalibo, due to the overshot incidents.

A visitor from Philippines posted Wed May 27, 2009: I used to ride my bike on that exact road. We sometimes wait for so long after the aircraft has passed by. The road is closed as seen on the backround 5/5
A visitor from Singapore posted Sat May 2, 2009: Fortunately there is one car travelling at road at that moment, guess nobody wants a plane to be landing at their car roof.
A visitor from Philippines posted Fri May 1, 2009: Aircraft sharply focused with soft background blur. That's the difference between Zest and CEBPAC. One clears the fence!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun April 26, 2009: Just before the ATR crossed the road it actually pulled up and made level flight in order to clear the fence, to say my heart was in my mouth was an understatement!
A visitor from United States posted Sat April 25, 2009: That moment must've lasted a lifetime for the pilots as they wondered if they were clear. 5*
A visitor from United States posted Sat April 25, 2009: I know this view very well. The house of my in-laws is nearby, and when my wife and I go to visit them, I always walk to airplane spot there, and yes, they do come in "low" certainly. My wife is from Caticlan...Thanks Ryan for posting this photo!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat April 25, 2009: I love these colours
A visitor from Ireland posted Sat April 25, 2009: That is Lowwww.I reckoned some of the Biz jets at SXM were as low as they come at around 15 feet,but this one comes in at around 6 feet above the road.Well captured.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat April 25, 2009: Great picture! really nice spot location, I like it. enxian
A visitor from United States posted Sat April 25, 2009: 5/5...Is there a hill there?
