Date: 2007.06.13

Description and Result of Inquiry


On this date we went to the Municipal Aerodrome in Portimao with the aim of collecting information related to the air traffic in that space between the days 25 – 04- 2007 and 05-05-2007 as well as locating and collecting flight plans between the dates 0321000MAI07 and 042100MAI 07.

Together with the operators and consulting the lists relating to the period in question there is only one register of plane not familiar to the employees, which has the registration number D – EDBS.

This plane landed in Portimao on 28 – 04 – 2007 at approximately 16.53 coming from LFBL (code corresponding to Limoges, in France) and left on 06-05-2007 at about 09.47 headed for the place of provenance.

Its is recorded that the pilot is A**** S***** and a passenger who was not identified by the security office at the aerodrome.

Information was gathered showing that the individual in question, although not a frequent visitor, would sometimes travel to Portimao, in the company of his wife, as he has a holiday home in this area, it is not known exactly where.

It is stated that the Lagos aerodrome is functioning but given that it is not certified there is no register of planes or passengers, a similar situations in other of these installations and it was established that the only registers kept are those at the Portimao and Tires aerodromes.

With regard to radar location, in the case of not having transponder links with the craft, this is not detected, however in the case of international flights where the crossing of air space involves more than one country, in principle this situation is not checked, as the planes are detected by radar and the location is transmitted to the central coordinator located in Faro.

A list of users from 03 and 04 May 2007 is attached. The runway is not authorised for use from 20.00 onwards and there is no register of any abnormal situation, there is 24 hour vigilance of air space.


Signed.
