Flight Simulator Flights at TFFS Le Saints

Terre-de-Haut Airport is a small single-runway airfield serving the island of Terre-de-Haut in the Les Saintes archipelago, part of Guadeloupe. With a short, unlit-free but lit hard runway and no instrument approach aids, it caters to light aircraft operating in and out of this compact island community. Its modest infrastructure and lack of published radio facilities make careful visual flight planning essential for any pilot heading there.
