Description
Frankfurt am Main Airport is also known as Flughafen Frankfurt am Main or Rhein-Main-Flughafen and 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.
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.
Runways
EDDF has 4 runways. The runways are positioned approximately parallel. Three of them are east-west, and the other is north-south.
Runway 07C-25C
Instrument Landing System is available for runway 07L, tune you NAV radio to 110.55 with a heading of 069.614. Instrument Landing System is available for runway 25R, tune you NAV radio to 109.50 with a heading of 249.568.
Runway 07R-25L
Instrument Landing System is available for runway 07R, tune you NAV radio to 110.95 with a heading of 069.619. Instrument Landing System is available for runway 25L, tune you NAV radio to 110.70 with a heading of 249.571.
Runway 18
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.
