![]() ![]() I would like to see some additional terrain around the scenery as the default African landclass is terrible and even the Scenery Tech payware landclass does not help much. There is a photoscenery of medium resolution covering ground in and around the airport (about 5×3 kilometers). The scenery provides a tool that does this for you (look for it in your FSX/Aerosoft/Kilimanjaro folder). #Fs2004 aerosoft wonderful madeira manual#The manual suggests setting texture size in fsx.cfg to 4096. #Fs2004 aerosoft wonderful madeira free#But the publisher promises charts on his product page and they are really necessary – there is no free AIP available for Tanzania. Normally I would not complain about this. ![]() Manual includes a short description of the scenery. It gives basic information about scenery developer (Gaya – I never heard this name or nickname before), scenery and FSX configuration. The manual is a standard document that one can expect. I described Aerosoft installer in my Wilga X review – please check it for details. What I describe here is the Kilimanjaro Airport 2015 (download) from Aerosoft’s store where you can buy this scenery for 18,55 Euro (including tax – it is 15,08 Euro if you live outside EU). Kilimanjaro Airport 2015 scenery was published by Aerosoft and covers the airport and it’s close surroundings. It also contains models of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro. He was flown here aboard a Jumbo Jet with a second 747 carrying his staff. If you like really big planes – G.W.Bush visited Kilimanjaro Airport one. I remember a Twin Otter flight to one of such runways – it was just a strip of savanna cleared of grass with some white painted stones serving as runway edge indicators. Local airlines use Twin Otters, Caravans, PC-12s and piston cessnas (like 207).įrom my journey in Africa I remember that helicopters are not particularly popular. There is a plenty of space around all towns, and even hotels and lodges can afford runway construction cost. ![]() ![]() African routes are flown mainly in 737, A320 family or smaller regional planes. Local airlines carry passengers to small airports in Tanzania.Įuropean airlines fly Boeings 757, 767 and 777 (KLM) or Airbuses of similar size and range. Tanzanian, Kenyan, Ethiopian and Rwandan airlines fly regional routes. Each of this airlines flies routes to or from Kilimanjaro with an additional stopover in Mombasa, Dar es Salam or other city on the way. KLM, Turkish Airlines i Qatar Airways and Condor connect Kilimanjaro with Europe and Asia. There are three turning bays along the runway. Two at both ends and one a few hundred meters from 09 end. There are three aprons in HTKJ. Taxiways leading to this aprons join the runway approximately in the middle so expect backtracks on every landing and take-off in a passenger jet (it is not necessary in Twin Otter). 09 is equipped with ILS and two NDBs for instrumental landing procedures. There are only RNAV procedures for 27. The airport has a single runway (09/27) that is 3607 meters long. Travelers coming here usually plan climbing the mountain or going on a safari in Serengeti National Park (40 miles west). Arusha (400 thousand inhabitants) is located a little closer in western direction. Kilimanjaro International Airport (HTKJ) is located about 25 miles (nautical) from the mountain which gave it the name. ![]()
