This airport is listed in our schedule, but the only payware aircraft able to fly it are FeelThere regional jets. It's not in Aerosoft Airbus (which is the scheduled aircraft), PMDG, Captain Sim, or Level D nav databases. It's not even in the SkyVector database. It is, however, in the AirNav database.

Edit: I just to select KFCA as a destination in the FT EMB 175 and I get an error saying invalid entry. I searched the Airports listing in the FT nav database and it shows.

Glacier Park is one of those weird airports where the IATA/FAA code doesn't correlate with the ICAO identifier. The ICAO is KGPI, so that's what you should be putting in your FMS and also what METARs, TAFs and NOTAMs will be coded under. Don't worry, I made the same exact mistake in real life. It took me a solid 5 minutes to figure out why KFCA wasn't working banghead

Same goes for if you ever flying to State College, PA (IATA: SCE, ICAO: KUNV) or Marquette, MI (IATA: MQT, ICAO: KSAW) just to add to the list.
