Kariba Airport, Kariba, Zimbabwe. A more realistic AFCAD File for Kariba Airport than the default airport. Created by Bashir Ismail.

Kariba Airport scenery.

Kariba Airport is located in northern Zimbabwe close to the Kariba Dam, the largest man-made lake in the world, which provides a significant proportion of the country's electricity requirements. It is also a wildlife haven popular with nature loving tourists and venue for international tiger fishing contests.

The runway is 1650 meters long and 18 meters wide and can accommodate Bae146, or equivalent. The airport operates 12 hours per day. It offers air traffic services, customs and immigration control and aircraft parking.

Installation:

Drop the FVKB.bgl and FVKB_cvx.BGL into your FSX/Addon scenery/scenery folder and away you go!

I have tried to make it close to realistic as possible using Airport Scenery Creator v1.40.07 and the objects that are available for use from FSX SP2 - Acceleration.
