Anyone flown to Easter Island??

[Nocturnal1]

Hi...I've got a flight to Easter Island (SCIP) and was wondering if anyone's been there before. There are some interesting procedures, like the point of no return, and I was looking for some pointers.

Thanks

Yes, sort of. I didn't physically go there, but picked up the trip in Acapulco from the crew that handled the Easter Island portion.

Universal can set you up with most of what you need (we did it on less than 48 hours notice), although you may have to adjust your departure time by several hours depending on the slot situation.

PM me if you want and I can put you in touch with the PIC of the crew that did the Easter Island leg.

I read that the runway is very long and it is used as an emergency alternate for the Space Shuttle.... Sounds like a great trip! Take pictures and post them!
