Maia Municipal Airport or Vilar de Luz Airport is a regional airport open since 1995 and is located in the north of Portugal right next to Porto Airport (LPPR) and near Braga Airport (LPBR). Nowadays there are three companies operating in it:
- Skydive Maia, a leisure company for skydiving and fly tours;
- Nortávia, a certified ATPL flight school and Cessna maintenance center;
- Aeroclube do Porto, a PPL flight school.
The airport is only certified for VFR and daytime operation, as there are no runway lights and no ILS or RNAV.
Due to proximity Porto CTR and Porto TMA, the following procedures must be accomplished:
- Previously listen to Porto ATIS FREQ.124.305 MHZ
- Previously contact with Porto APP FREQ. MHz or whichever frequency broadcasted by ATIS (Not implemented yet)
- Note: Until contact with Porto APP is established the Aircraft shall remain in uncontrolled airspace (i.e. remaining on the aerodrome circuit or flying into VFR routes established in VFR Manual)
You can read the VFR Manual from the airport for detailed information.
