PALH - Lake Hood Airport - By Nirgal2776
0.7 Alpha
----------------------------------------
Lake Hood Airport is a state-owned Airport located three nautical miles southwest of the central business district of Anchorage in the U.S. state of Alaska.
Operating continuously and open to the public, Lake Hood is the world's busiest seaplane base, handling an average of 190 flights per day
It is located on Lakes Hood and Spenard, next to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport
1 gravel runway :
14/32 (2200 x 75 ft. / 671 x 23 m) / Traffic pattern 14: left, 32 : right
3 Water Lane :
Runway E/W (4541 x 188 ft. / 1384 x 57 m)
Runway N/S (1930 x 200 ft. / 588 x 61 m)
Runway SE/NW (1369 x 150 ft. / 417 x 46 m)
(Traffic pattern: left for all)

344 Slip for Float Aircrafts + 8 for transient aircrafts all aournd the lake
----------------------------------------
It is alpha because water base is in WIP (for taxi network and coast design). Water Parking are not all well placed due to inaccurate default lake coasts.
Included :
+ 1 Gravel Runway (with correct verticale profile)
+ 3 waterLanes
+ All parking (From Alpha to Echo and gravel runway parking)
+ Com :
- TOWER LAKE HOOD 126.800
- ATIS PALH 125.600
- APPROACH ANCHORAGE 119.100
- CLEARANCE LAKE HOOD CLERANCE 119.400
- DEPARTURE ANCHORAGE 119.100
+ DEM of 5m for PANC and PALH area
nb: If you call for a fuel truck, it will come from International Aviation services at PANC, so be patient.
known bugs :
- MSFS add automaticaly a ground com with the same frequency as tower frequency if an airport have only a tower com.
- MSFS can't deal with airport with hard AND water runway.
* so If you start from a parking spot (hard or dock) or from hard runway, ATC always send you to hard runway
* if you start from water runway start point, ATC, will only know water runways.
Even if i use FS since FSII, It is my very first scenery creation done during my freetime. Be indulgent ;)
All has been done with objects from default MSFS library, i don't have skill (yet !) to make custom building. I will do it in the future.
Any constructive criticism is welcome to make this scenery better.
Just unzip into your community folder.
(Don't distribute to any other place than flightsim.to)

I absolutely love fling in and out of Lake Hood, I usually use the gravel strip (Not float rated), but love watching the float operations there during the summer. You did a wonderful job!

Thank you so much for creating one of my favourite airports. I walked/drove around it one summers evening back in 2017. What a marvelous place - and now I can fly in there myself with FS2020 😊

It will continue to evolve along with my skills.
You are lucky, i would love to see Lake Hood a day. I'm living in France, but i'm in love with this place.

I continue to be amazed on a worldwide site such as we frequent here that sceneries are posted with no description of where they are at in this world and why they might be of interest. When a ton of work has been completed at least give your efforts a chance to be enjoyed by more.....

A little map or something would be nice indeed. However, if you click on the coordinates above it takes you straight to the addon location in Google Maps. I think this, and the screenshots are my main reasons to download an addon or not. This one is cool though, I have a World Air Routes DVD of Rusts Aviation that operate out of this airport so this addon will come very handy replicating some of their operations!
