KNII and KBRI are used for smuggling operations so they aren’t in any FAA database. They probably should be left in MSFS for any potential smuggling missions.
CYQD (The Pas Airport) is still missing despite the Canada world update. surprises me since they got the regional Grace Lake airport in town but not CYQD which has ATR42 and 72’s land on it daily.
edit: just double checked and realized it’s already on the list
The airstrip is visible in MSFS as a grass airstrip. In order to get YIVE into an AIRAC update, the IRL owner of the airstrip has to submit the airstrip information to the proper Australian aviation office. Their updates are added eventually to an AIRAC. When the AIRAC is updated and distributed, then YIVE will be available in MSFS. Until then, the GPS coordinates can be used as a waypoint in an aircraft’s FMS.
Thank you for that information - interesting. Just goes to show that every day is a school day. Intrigued though - how does an airfield get an ICAO code without submitting their ‘existence’ to the relevant aviation authority? And, yes, I missed it in Bing maps so thanks for that as well. I failed to see it in the sim though and I suspect that I landed just to the North of the actual strip.
EHHA Amsterdam Heliport is missing.
Location: 52.414643, 4.804810 (or 52°24’52.7"N 4°48’17.3"E)
Group 6 heliports.
It is a small modern heliport located in the north west of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in a harbour area known as the Westpoort. It provides parking space outside for four helicopters and hangar space for another three. The heliport was opened in 2005, aiming mainly at VIP transport and airwork.
Thanks. I’m going to hold off for now adding helipads and heliports to the list as almost all seem to be missing. Has anyone seen anything from Asobo on their plans to add them or is it going to be left up to the community to add them with World Hub? We are talking well over 15,000 locations.
The airport for the city of Pasighat in India on the Brahmaputra river is not “physically” present in MSFS. In the World Map the runway and ICAO is displayed but when spawning anywhere on the airfield you can only see grass. There’s neither a runway, nor any airport buildings. Also the satellite image does not show the presence of the airport.
The airport was built after 2010, so probably the satellite imagery for that area is quite outdated.
That isn’t correct, there is an airstrip clearly visable on satellite imagery at the coordinates you have given.
On skyvector, there is a power plant marked at this location, it looks like the airstrip is a private one. Probably owned by and serving the power plant.
The airstrip should stay in MSFS, just with a different/corrected name/ICAO.
Edit 2: Maybe ‘Tyee Lake Hydro’ for the name.
Edit 1: I found the power plant owner; Four Dam Pool Power Agency.
Good job hunting this down… so appears there is an unknown airstrip there with or without a valid ICAO… but for sure it is not PAKE and it sure isn’t called Ketchikan Airport… and it sure isn’t in the city of Ketchikan, Alaska … (Is closer to Wrangell but not quite… it’s situated on the Bradfield River at Hidden Creek in the Tongass National Forest and very close to Harding River USFS Cabin)
(PAKT, which is the real Ketchikan airport, is correct in this sim)
