Here is some additional information regarding VAPO. They now have ATIS on 127.65--Not listed on the chart.

Rwy 10 Threshold N 1835.0 E 07354.5
Favored Runway seems to be RWY 10 these days. (I was there today).
They brought me overhead at 8000 ft and turned me for a left downwind to descend to 4000 ft (Dighi Hills are on the North Side). Then cleared for a visual. I came overhead at 180 Kts and dropped the gear to get down fast.
They have a habit of keeping you high.
If you stay within 3-4 miles you should be able to keep the Rwy in sight for the visual. PAPI's were not working today (only 1 red light).
Reported and might be fixed by the time you get there.
Once you land they want you to make a 180 at the end (concrete) clockwise turn (Rwy 10). You taxi back and vacate on the left on LIMA and follow the Follow Me truck.
For T/O RWY you take LIMA again and back track and make a counter-clockwise turn for departure. The runway construction is at the end of RWY 10 (departure end). Plus lots of digging going on everywhere.
Birds--we saw a few on approach and on T/O. On take-off temp at 1330 hrs was around 26C. We used Flaps 25 for T/O due to reduced rwy available.
Wishing you an enjoyable trip!
