Jwocky - Jumbolino ;)

oh :oops:


Narrow body is a generalization that defines if only 1 aisle thru the center of cabin is available for passengers to occupy.
And Airliner is a generalization for Airlines-operated aircraft. So the Jumbolino qualifies...fully :ugeek: :mrgreen:

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

There is not VOR QN, but SH on 113.6 MHz in the FG 2017.2.1 nav database.

In some approach plates is VOR SH (Slope Hill), on others QN. Both at 113.6 MHz.

ok. Just checked my navigraph charts, and it says QN too.
Since they're on the same freq and same location it should be fine. (Looks like in the old AIRAC it was SH)

OK.
Someone should make basic scenery for Queenstown - standard Tower and some building looks like a terminal for better feeling.

I had a look there yesterday, also to ensure terrasync scenery availability later. Approaches from both sides (32 and 260 degrees) worked out just fine, when starting descent from fl 100 MSA at about 20 miles from the VOR. It's a bit like descending from Rattenberg to Innsbruck. Whereby the 260 degrees gives you a bit more dramatic scenery.

Kind regards, Vincent
