I recall when I was there about six months ago that charts could be obtained through the RAAFAIS website. I thought there was some form of GPS approach but am maybe mistaken, it was not however included in the Jepp package. I have no idea what charts a Russian crew would use but potentially any available.

I was also very suprised at Baucau by some of the tyre marks I noticed when backtracking. I was in a light twin and am used to seeing two big patches near each touchdown zone with a few little strays. Some I may have caused

But in Baucau there was touchdown marks near the middle of the runway (length) and beyond, from tyres as wide as my engine cowls... Made me wonder what kind of arrivals they must have there from time to time?
