The Chibuto Airfield is a very adequate airstrip for any aircraft than can manage 600 metres length with clear approaches at 520 ft amsl. A loadmaster is available to supervise loading of aircraft. All loads are weighed. Pilots are not required to physically load their aircraft, as labour is available. Unloading is handled for pilots at the destination.
Loads are clean, packaged materials, mostly in cardboard boxes.
Supplies of relief materials have arrived at FANS and there are around 50 tons available now. These consist of food, water, water containers, blankets and clothing. The purpose of this mission is clear - to help move critical life sustaining supplies to where they can be distributed effectively and fast to those that need them. This has been achieved by several flights to date, moving however only around 5 tons of supplies, due to the small numbers of aircraft available. Flight plans are required for all international flights.
