Temple Bar Airport

Common Complaints

• Runway and Taxiway Conditions: Travelers and pilots should be aware of numerous cracks on the runway with loose rock on all surfaces.
• Ramp Conditions: The aircraft ramp is in a failed condition with ruts due to erosion, with advisories to use the south half of the ramp area. The north half has 12-inch deep ruts in the tie-down area.
• Vegetation and Obstructions: There is 1 to 2 feet of brush growing from cracks on all paved surfaces, and 2-4 feet of scattered brush near the runway.
• Safety Concerns: Users are advised to be alert for vehicular traffic on the runway and wildlife on and in the vicinity of the airport. Loose rock is also a concern on the north turn-around and runway.
• Lack of Facilities: There is no mention of terminal facilities, amenities, or services like security checkpoints or customs/immigration, as it is a basic public-use airport.

Given its operational advisories and conditions, Temple Bar Airport (U30) appears to be a very basic facility primarily suited for experienced general aviation pilots who are prepared for potentially challenging runway and ramp conditions. It lacks the infrastructure and traveler services expected of a commercial airport.
