(Technical updates can be found in the 150/5345-28_ series of ACs, but those are mostly minutiae involving terminology changes.) However, per the manual:

The full details of PAPI siting and installation can be found in FAA Order 6850.2B, Chapter 5, sections 500, 501, 502, and 503. The FAA, which uses the same standard as ICAO, stipulates that PAPI LHAs (lamphousing assemblies) are 'should be located on the left side of the runway as viewed from the approach direction,' while ICAO does allow for right-side installation when absolutely necessary. While I understand and respect that position, I would point out that there are international standards on PAPI position, and those state that PAPI LHAs should be installed on the left side of the runway whenever possible - a right-side installation is a variance. For me, I always put them on the right of the direction of travel for the incoming aircraft, even if the runway is a takeoff only one. Also, some people like to put their PAPI's on specific sides of the runway. This isn't an issue with the runway lights, as they are one the same footprint as the runway. For one, when you later decide to expand the runway, you may run into issues with moving a graphic that isn't technically part of the footprint, and yet still has it's own that can block other buildings. PAPI's - No to standard - For a few reasons. Originally posted by TheFrustratedElmo:3.

They both can only be placed in one position so they should be a simple click button upgrade on the panel.ģ. Small Gate Stairs and Runway Lights - Yes to standard - I grouped both of these as they both follow the same explanation. Basically, G level is gate, -1 level is unfoundationable, -2 level and lower is allowed.Ģ. You might find them another layer down, so that 'level' directly under it could be reserved as unfoundationable due to the reinforcement needed between the gate where the plane is sitting, and a sudden open area below it. Fuel ports - Yes to standard positions - You won't find any open areas under the gates anyway, so that throws the whole blocking foundations argument out of the window. Happy flying! Hope this is useful and makes IFR flight a little easier.I would say yes to everything except the PAPI's. This will open the airport text information which isn't very useful, scroll down to the very bottom and you will see a table that says Charts Related to an aerodrome. On the navigation on the left under Part 3 expand AD2 Aerodromes If you want to see specific airport information Within AD is each airport, within each airport are sections e.g.ġ is always the text data to skip, 2 onwards is the charts GEN is general information that is not usefulĮNR is en-route information which may be useful for flight planningĪD is the main section with airport charts You can use the bookmarks section in Adobe or Books on iPad to skip to the relevant section If you use this approach, you download the entire AIP which is very large and mostly irrelevant. In the Description box on the homepage select AIP AMDT 09/2020 (Complete AIP in PDF) (Size 283.4 MB) This will download the entire document which is useful for saving on an iPad

You can find a lot of free charts for other countries online if you do some digging, I did find the french equivalent some time ago but cant remember where I found it now. It's great to have the PDF open on an iPad or print the ones off that you need

FS2020 even has a lot of the approach procedures built into the navigation so flying them is even easier.

I find FS2020 a lot more difficult to find IFR information than FSX but you can download real world UK charts for free from the link below which helps a lot.
