Departure and arrival into Easter Island

[vincenzino montella]

Hi everybody,
I have a plan for a flight via south Pacific on a light aircraft.
I am looking for some official information regarding the arrival and departing procedure out of Easter Island, as I know that there are some restrictions.
Has anybody any link to access those regulations?
Thank you very much for any input.
Happy New Year to everybody

Keep an eye on the LAN Schedule SCL-IPC-SCL and SCL-IPC-PPT-IPC-SCL as is very likely that you won't get approval to land/depart 1 hour before/after departure due to SCIP being and isolated airport.

The entire regulatory document is here:
https://www.dgac.gob.cl/portalweb/rest-portalweb/jcr/repository/collaboration/sites%20content/live/dgac/documents/dan-14_06-20151103.pdf

Not hard, just make sure to file your FPL 24Hr before ETD and request the proper slot at least 48 hrs ahead, state your PNR or ETP as well.

You could request the permit on this website, click on the "Operacion Pascua" tab:
DGAC (http://oirs.dgac.gob.cl/ARSV-web/solicitudes.jsf)

Make sure to state a working phone, because if they can't grant your requested slot time, they'll call you to accomodate your 2nd option, ATC Personnel is very friendly and they try to make it work for everyone there.

SCIP ARO Office is +56322100237 ask for Juan Edmunds phone, he's the sole handler and fuel provider available.

If you have more questions about the operation in Chile feel free to PM me.

Thank you so much, Leondelfierro, for your invaluable and precious "airport briefing": it will save me a lot of time.
As I said, I am planning for a trip around the world (in the near future) in a light aircraft, "via islands only". I'd like to follow the south Pacific route (coming from Europe, Middle East, Indian ocean, S.E. Asia, Polynesia), via Easter Island (magic place which I visited looooong time ago) and the Galapagos, the domestic airport of Baltra (hopefully the ecuadorian CAA will grant me the permission for operation as that is not a Custom airport). From there I would proceed to San Andres, Bahamas, Bermuda, Azores, then back home). If that will be not possible, I will revert to the north Pacific route.
Anyway, thank you once more for your kindness and should I have more questions, I'll show up at your "open door ".
Ciao and till soon
