Landing and 4 days parking came to E52 inc VAT.
Short runway 870 m with hill at east end.
Very busy with Paradropping operations
No fuel truck, even for Jet A. Had to nose into fuel bowser at W end of parking and then push back into parking by hand after.
Smooth handover between Faro Approach and LPPM AFIS. The airport is located inside the Faro TMA
Noticed that in one of the para dropping hangars a Piper M600 had obtained hangarage for the week.
