Does anyone have any experience with Palau
Can't help with current Palau radio situation but we flew into Koror airport (Palau) in 737-200's about 25 years ago. Frequent heavy showers over the airfield. In those days the overun at one end was a steep embankment.

If departing at night we were unpleasanly surprised to find out the airport authoity switched of the runway lights very shortly after we departed and the flight service operator went home. If we needed to come back we had no radio contact. It was a long way to Manila (our destination) if we couldn't return to Koror.
