Five Mile Camp Airport (FMV) is a small, private-use gravel airstrip located near Milepost 60 of the Dalton Highway in Alaska, just north of the Yukon River. Officially designated as PAFV by the ICAO and FVM by the FAA, it’s operated by the Alyeska Pipeline Company and owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management – Pipeline Office.

Airport Overview:
·         Runway: One gravel runway (11/29), measuring 2,700 feet long and 75 feet wide
·         Elevation: 510 feet (155 meters) above sea level
·         Type: Private-use, primarily supporting pipeline operations

Historical Significance:
Five Mile Camp Airport was the first airstrip built to support the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). During the massive pipeline construction effort in the 1970s, the runway was carved directly from a widened section of the highway. Alyeska maintained manned gates to halt traffic during aircraft operations—a testament to the logistical challenges of building infrastructure in Alaska’s remote interior.  The airstrip played a key role in crew changes for Pump Station 6 and was actively used into the 1990s. It was one of 14 airfields constructed to support the pipeline, which saw a peak workforce of over 28,000 in 1975.  Today, while its operations are limited, Five Mile Camp Airport remains a quiet but enduring symbol of Alaska’s engineering grit and the vital role aviation played in one of the largest civil projects in U.S. history.

Installation:
Copy the airport folder inside of the Zip file into your MSFS Community folder.

This airport was created using Standard Asobo/Microsoft libraries found in the sim.  I also used the FREE “UK2000 Common Objects Library”, and the FREE “Emerald Objects Library” found in the sim Market Place.  If you have not previously installed these libraries in your Community folder, some objects may not be visible in your sim.  Remember, you only must install these one time.  All Microsoft World Updates should be installed also.

There is an Easter Egg installed.
