Lusaka

Post by adysmith »

I am at Ndola with a VC10, I notice we have a route to FLKK, which is the new designator for Lusaka, previously FLLS.

Unfortunately neither FSx nor FSNav recognises FLKK, if I fly to FLLS (same place, different name) will it give me a "wrong Airport" penalty or does it go on lat/long to determine location?

If it is going to give m,e a wrong airport can the schedule be changed to go to FLLS like all the other Lusaka routes please?

Hi Ady..

It is one and the same and as FSA goes by geographic location.. you should not get a wrong airport error.

I can confirm that, FSA only looks at lat and lon, not airport code, so as long as your close to the given position of the airport in FSA your fine.
