Description
EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (D: Flughafen Basel-Mülhausen-Freiburg; F: Aéroport de Bâle-Mulhouse Fribourg), also known as EuroAirport or simply Basel-Mulhouse is the international airport that servers the city of Basel (CH), Mulhouse (F) and Freiburg (D). It's 6Km (3.7mi) North-west of Basel, 30Km (18Mi) South-east of Mulhouse and 77Km (47mi) South-west of Freiburg.
Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is the only developed airport in FlightGear that is operated by 3 countries (Switzerland, France and Germany), hence the name "EuroAirport". The Airport lies completely in French soil (with public transport connections from Switzerland operated by SBB [Swiss Federal Railworks] and a local Bus line from Basel), but the airport is categorized as a Swiss airport. The reason why is because it used to be the former Swissair's Hub until 2001, after it's bankruptcy . Currently, the only real airline with a Hub in Basel-Mulhouse is EasyJet Switzerland.
Because of the EuroAirport being bi-national, it has 3 IATAs: BSL (The Swiss code for Basel), MLH (The French code for Mulhouse) and EAP (international code for EuroAirport). This airport has a similar state to Geneva's Airport, excluding the multiple IATAs. Its ICAO code is LFSB.
Start-up
There are 5 start-up positions, which are the 5 helipads, the actual gates have to be added, so we ask you to start-up here. Then push back to a gate of choice on Terminal 1 (the only one). After that, you can ask the tower for start up and other normal procedures.
LFSB has "6" runways, tough only 4 are used (as cited above). The grass runways are MERELY for special events/recreation, or can be requested in the pilot's behalf, if this one wishes according to its aircraft.
Runway 15/33
ILS cat IIIb runway approach and landing is available for runway 15 with SSALR - PAPI-4L lights. This is the main landing runway (GS=3.00°).
Tune your navigation radio 1 to 111.55MHz with a heading of 153° (MH).
ILS cat I/DME runway approach and landing is available for runway 33 with SSALR - PAPI-4L lights. This is mainly used for take-off's in low traffic situations, but in case of bad weather, can be used to land as well (GS=3.50°). Reason? BEWARE: Terrain on area (the Jura mountains), maintain at least FL050.
Tune your navigation radio 1 to 109.35MHz with a heading of 333° (IBLU) and your navigation radio 2 to DME 117.45 (BLM). Use the charts for approach (see below).
