FSX – Erie International

FSX – Erie International. This is update #6 of the KERI 2012 runway extension project.  Update #5 was supposed to be it for this series but they threw a bit of a monkey wrench into that plan with the 2014 Rwy 24 paving project. The “Paving” project not only paved Rwy 24 but it also removed one of the secondary taxiways. Taxiway A2 (as depicted in update #5) used to be the part of Taxiway A that was the access to the old approach end of runway 24 at one time. Since then they added two runway extensions. The first extension added five hundred feet to the runway and incremented the existing end access of Taxiway A to A1. When they added the most recent runway extension, our wandering taxiway incremented from A1 to A2. The short five hundred foot distance from A1 to A2 and cost to maintain the taxiway made it undesirable to keep this old taxiway around. The 2014 repaving project did away with Taxiway A2 and incremented Taxiways A3 and A4 respectively down to A2 and A3. That revision is what this update depicts.
