The '''Frankfurt am Main Airport''', also known as '''Flughafen Frankfurt am Main''' or '''Rhein-Main-Flughafen''', is the international airport that serves the city of Frankfurt am Main. It is located 12 km (7.5mi) southwest of downtown Frankfurt am Main, and is the busiest airport in Germany. This airport is complete with respect to the Terminals. However, as there are constant changes going on in reality, work is never really finished. In addition to the airport the scenery also contains a fair amount of skyscrapers of Frankfurt and some other details. | |||
The version available through terrasync is reasonably up-to date, while the version in the GIT repo contains some future changes (new runway, buildings under construction). In addition to that there is a new custom scenery with many details for the area around the airport. | |||

Runway 18 does not have an [[Instrument Landing System]] as it is used only for departures in real life. There is NO runway 36 as that direction leads towards the Taunus mountains that would be in the way at takeoff. | Runway 18 does not have an [[Instrument Landing System]] as it is used only for departures in real life.
