Himalaya Adventure - Tribhuvan International Airport Kathmandu.



Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) ICAO: VNKT is an international airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, located in the Kathmandu Valley about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the city center of Kathmandu. The airport has served as an airfield since

1949, and was inaugurated in 1955 by King Mahendra of Nepal. It received its current name in 1964. Originally a grass runway, it was re-laid in concrete in 1957 and has been extended several times. The first jet aircraft landed at

Tribhuvan in 1967 and regular jet operations commenced in 1972.

The airport has one domestic and one international terminal. At present, over 30 international airlines connect Nepal to destinations in Asia and the Middle East, and the airport serves as a hub for several Nepalese airlines.

Hey V12
See you this weekend,
I'll selected the Citation X
(I apologize if its a tiny lil bit smaller than you are looking forward to see there :S )
https://github.com/FGMEMBERS/CitationX

Can Citation X take off at 10k feets above sea level ?

why wouldn't if it has a ceiling of FL510?
I may not be informed of something, here.
Thanks V12

Sorry, I am so late, but I was terrible busy. I try to make it a bit earlier as usual, but it can be a bit narrow. I try. And, since I had no time to prepare anything, I fly Jumbolino.

Some tactical informations :
Because ZULS airport in the Flightgear has not parking positions, please spawn on the runway, taxi to taxiway and afther that join to the multiplayer. We will start simulation with Dusk time preset, the Roof of the World in sunset is beutifull, land in the VNKT will be in the dark for bigger challenge.

See You tomorow.

This starts to be a typical hardest approaches tour: None of the way points is known to FG and ZULS has not even some concrete to park on in my scenery. I get me coffee and breakfast and wait for you guys!

J and I, early birds, preparing departure

thanks for planning V12!
Cya next time,
IH-COL
