MSFS Avignon Pujaut Airport (LFNT) Scenery

Explore the rich history and scenic beauty of Southern France with the Avignon Pujaut Airport (LFNT) Scenery. This meticulously crafted add-on brings the charming LFNT aerodrome to life in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, offering both an accurate and immersive flying experience.

Key Features

• Highly Detailed Runways: The scenery includes all three grass runways (17R/35L, 17L/35R, and 12/30), each authentically recreated to reflect their real-world specifications and limitations.
• Realistic Airport Environment: From animated characters and wildlife to detailed paneling and PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures, every element enhances the realism of the aerodrome.
• Nocturnal Constraints: Accurately modeled to represent its real-life counterpart, the airfield lacks lighting, necessitating daylight operations for VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flights.
• Animated Elements: Discover animated air conditioners, missing textures on the flowerpot in a nod to version history, and lively static PC6 aircraft sourced from MilViz, adding depth and interactivity to your simulation.

About LFNT - Avignon Pujaut Aerodrome

LFNT, nestled in the commune of Pujaut just 6 km northwest of Avignon, is a restricted-use aerodrome primarily engaged in light aviation and leisure activities such as parachuting and model aircraft flying. Established in 1919 and serving as an emergency airfield by 1929, LFNT was later entrusted to the French Air Force in 1935 and became the cradle of French military parachuting. This historical backdrop provides a unique atmosphere that enriches the simulation experience.

Technical Specifications and User Information

• Communication and Navigation: Operates on a self-information frequency of 123.350 MHz within FSS areas. Compliance with the Provence Approach is mandatory within certain airspace layers.
• Daylight Operations Only: Reflecting its real-world limitations, the airfield operates from sunrise to sunset.
• Activity Zones: A designated area for glider winching extends from the ground to 2,300 feet. This feature is complemented by model aircraft operations to the west of the platform, providing diverse flying activities.
