1.The Example

The airport Hörsching (also Blue Danube Airport, ICAO code: LOWL) was officially opened in 1955, but it already existed since 1939 at Hörsching..

Since 1956, regular passenger air transport takes place. From 1972, a private passenger terminal was built on the north side of the site, which went into operation in 1976. Since 1985, the runway of the Linz airport is equipped with an instrument landing system category III B. From 1998 to 2003 the adaptation and expansion of the existing passenger terminal was made. 2005, a new instrument landing system (ILS) was taken on the takeoff and landing runway 09 in operation.

The airport has a 3,000 m long precision airstrip with two instrument landing systems (one for bad visual approaches to CAT IIIb), and in addition a helicopter runway. For medium-haul aircraft are 16 parking positions available.

The airport Hörsching is actually an airport in the Austrian Air Force and thus belongs to the Austrian army. However, there is a civil right of use. The civil part is north of the airstrip, south of it is Austria's second largest barracks, the airbase Vogler with parts of the plane and the military command of Upper Austria.

On 1. November 2010 the runway was renamed from 09/27 to 08/26, and the heli-runway from 08/26 to 07/25.

2.The scenery

The scenery is based on the scenery started by davewing : "LOWL Blue Danube Airport Linz".

The planes on the apron were made ​​ "removable", the parking positions, taxiways, etc. revised according to the material of VACC-Austria and updated from generally available information.

Charts

are available at http://www.vacc-austria.org/?page=content/airportinfo&icao=LOWL. Based on that charts the parking postions and  taxiways where build into the scenery. So there should'nt be any problems when flying online.

At the 1.November 2010 the runway 09/27 was renamed to 08/26. This fact is also considered in the scenery.
