Amman Civil Airport's spot size issue (too small for C-130, IL-76) and ME-icon


Recommended Posts

Testing in DCS World 2.9.3 .51704.

Amman Civil Airport (in Syria module, named "Amman" simply) is used as a general aviation airport mainly, but also shared by Royal Jordanian Air Force as "King Abdullah I" Air Base.
RJAF places Air Lift squadrons there with C-130 / M28 and helicopters.
RJAF had 2x jet transport IL-76 operated by Jordan International Air Cargo / JIAC in 2010s, and they were also based in Amman.
( JIAC's IL-76 photo was taken in Amman and posted to jetphotos.com )

Current Syria map's Amman airport cannot be placed C-130 or IL-76.
There looks not having enough size parking spots for them.

Comparing with satellite photo by google,

Spots 29, 30, 39, 40 are used by C-130H.

JIAC's IL-76 might use spots 77-78.

Spots 43 - 45 are prepared for civil aviation --- big private jets Boeing 737 BBJ or Airbus A320 ACJ can use them.

Please tweak spot size allowing those aircrafts placed.

In historical, Amman is used by RJAF / JIAC and having 3275 meters runway.

"First class airdrome Icon" will match better.
