Impossible or Incorrect flights.

EHM-1749 Hector:
Venezuela:
1. Flights EHM7038, 7039, 7176, 7177, 7622, 7623, C503, C502
These flights operate in SVCL which is a VERY small airport with a 4788' long runway, no lights, no nothing.
2. Flights EHM-H1123, H1139
These operate in SVFM which is an AFB not for commercial use. It has a 5970' long runway at 2738' altitude just in the heart of capital Caracas.
3. Flights EHM-H1125, H1141
These operate in SVSO which is also an AFB. Prior to commerical use it requires authorization from the military. I hate to do that.

Ever since I joined EHM I had posted a couple of times this matter. I also suggested to include the following commercial international airports: SVBC (9890' runway) and SVMC (also 9890' runway and my hometown. Please!)

EHM-1749 Hector:
Colombia:
1. Class 7 flights EHM-7074, 7075, 7172, 7173, 7680, 7681 into SLCL. This airport serves Cali city (not Bogota as mistakenly shown) and cannot handle Class 7 flights for the reasons Bruce exposed several posts ago.
I suggest to change these flights to operate in/out of SKBO that serves the capital city Bogota. It has two very long parallel runways.
2. Class 5 flights EHM-5818, 5838, B554, B563, C593, C601 into SKBO. I suggest to change these flights to operate in/out SKCL.

EHM-1703 Philip:
Thanks Hector, This is why I "Topped" this topic so it would always remain at the top so when we have more or less a complete list we can start altering them.

EHM-1749 Hector:
No problem Phil. This is the third and last for South America:
Ecuador (please correct instead of Equador):
SEQU is the airport serving the capital Quito. It is quite inside the city. Airport's altitude is 9228' while the length of its only runway is 10200'.
Incoming long-haul non-stop flights are no problem. The problem is with the departing flights. It is impossible for a plane to go non-stop to Europe. I used to fly a lot when I lived there for 5 years using KLM, Lufthansa or Viasa either in their B747 or DC-10 and neither of them could do it. In fact, I used to be in the cockpit of Viasa's DC-10 and they had a restriction to MTOW of no more than 385,000 lbs. They either went to Caracas (SVMI) or Curazao (TNCC) for refueling before departing to Europe.
Guayaquil has no problem since it is at sea level.
So I suggest that flights EHM-1177, 1179, 1181 and H1283 be re-scheduled to allow a stop to refuel.

Thanks for keeping this post up. The idea is to be as real as possible. I believe one of the biggest challenges for the programmers of FLogger is to make it able to include this feature. It would be a big step for us.

EHM-1703 Philip:
This is gonna take some time guys, but hopefully I will be able to get some time on this soon..... I knew our timetable was pretty screwed so i am sure there will be a lot more of these out there.

The only way around this refueling problem for the moment will be to split these long routes in to two completely separate flights that you will have to lock the first in PP then when you get to the refuel   stopover, go back and lock the next leg..... This needs some thought and will take some working out to make it work.
