June 26, 200916 yr Hi guys,KFCA is my hometown airport. I know the runways are too short for the MD11 but I would really like to plan a flight there. The problem is that each time I go through the flightplanner in FSX and then I attempt to setup a flight from KSEA/KFCA, the FMC is telling me that it is not in the dabase.This is probably a stupid question, but how do I get my airport added or is there something I am doing incorrectly?Thanks!

I once did a flight from aspen to jfk... hmm maybe the possibilities are here. I think you'll fix your problem is you uncheck the show runways over 5000 ft only. Steven Penninck

June 27, 200916 yr Try KGPI, see if that works. Tom Risager NGX tutorial: http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=162360 SIDs & STARs Worked Examples: LOWI-UUDD, KSEA-KLAX, EKCH-ENGM, YSCB-YPAD
June 27, 200916 yr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFCAGlacier Park International Airport (IATA: FCA, ICAO: KGPI, FAA LID: GPI)Longest runway is 2/20 is over 9,000 feet.The ICAO code must have changed as indicated by another poster.These FAA charts are available until 7/30/09:http://www.naco.faa.gov/digital_tpp_search...;submit1=SearchILS 2 chart:http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0907/00887IL2.PDFThey are not on flightaware.com as a bundle.There is a KGPI in the SIDSTAR database that I have. (I think the MD-11 uses the common one for PMDG.)Are you thinking of a nearby airport Polston which has 4,000 foot runways?

June 28, 200916 yr Author Hi guys,Thanks so much for the help. It turns out that KGPI is recognized by the FMC. It won't import a flightplan from FSX because of the KFCA designation, but I can program in the nav points manually(only 4 from KSEA) and it does recognize the altitude from the FSX flightplan so it decides the transitions and airspeed automatically.
