This series of flights researched by Jim Daigneau adds a new airport to the database: Antofagasta Chile (SCFA/ANF). This airport is located in the northern end of Chile, has only a single airport, and is located in the desert area just west of the mountains near the coast. Approaches should be quite unique given the topography surrounding the area.

Schedule Database: PAH
Flight Numbers: 3723-3724
Route: KJFK-KMIA-MPTO-SEGU-SPIM-SLLP-SCFA-SCEL-SAEZ
Length: 435nm-1006nm

Also recently added are DC-6 flights MIA-HAV, MIA-NAS, and JFK-TJSJ

Well, this is a great routes through the world's longest mountain range (Mt. Andes). I just shut engines off at VVTS (WAKE ISLAND FLIGHTS Leg 3).
Time to move on to South America. Thank you for your lots of work, Andrew!

Oh, I didn't know there were more hands to helping you. Then, thank to all of them, too. It's fun to fill up our contrails on DVA map where we didn't fly with modern routes.

They do the research and give me the flight info and backup so I can check the validity. I do the entering into the system and adding airports as necessary. Not sure which of us spends the most time on it but its definitely a team effort.

Alaa, I had the exact same problem landing in SLLP last night. I attributed it to SLLP's elevation.

Yes Jesse I thought so....... And It was exceeding my B737 maximum altitude landing ...?
