FS2004 – Nelson CZNL Airport. Nelson CZNL in British Columbia Canada Made using SceneryGenX by Roger Wensley for FS9. Nelson is a town with a population of around 10,000, located 250 miles or so east of Vancouver on the southern shore of an east-west offshoot of Kootenay Lake. The surrounding landscape can be described as “steep” without fear of contradiction, and the diagram of arrival and departure routes (included here) shows that straight finals to either end of the runway are non-existant. The airport is right beside the water, with a single runway 3,100 feet long and 75 feet wide, aligned 04/22. The apron is at the western end. There is no runway lighting, or taxiway or apron lights, so usage is effectively restricted to daylight hours (though not legally stated as such). The nature of the surrounding terrain makes AI hit-and-miss; mostly hit. AI Planes will taxi out and then take off, and provided you don’t follow them until they fly into a mountain it will all appear normal. Planes that are arriving will appear by magic on their parking spots, as they will already have crashed before they arrive.
