PDC airport

Can the PDC airport handle a Lear Jet 55 ?

"Aerosaab's Cessna 182 can fly 4 people and 5 people can tour in our Cessna 206"

That's very generous! Even the local authorities don't use puerto but rather pista to describe it (cf. airport v. airstrip in English).

Steve is right - it is a pista, not a puerto. And no, I wouldn't take a Lear 55 in and out of there. My husband takes his Cessna 337 in and out, but the strip is barely long enough for that. I no longer go with him. I have a strange fear of crashing on landing.

Arriving in Playa del Carmen
You will most likely arrive at Cancun international airport, which is only about 45 minutes from Playa del Carmen. Playa has a small airport that mainly has service to Cozumel and some ruins, like Chichén Itzá and Palenque...

Thanks Steve, The 55 requires 3,000 feet (915 m) looks like its Cancun for landing.

I have a big fear of crashing on the 307, Thanks for the info.
