Western US Upgrade #1

Post by Keith Smith »

The Western US bonus field are now all full-time primary airports. This includes: KEGE, KGEG, KMRY, KOAK, KRNO, KSAC, KSJC, KSMF and KYKM.

Here is towered airport list for WUS as it stands now:
KABQ: Albuquerque International Sunport Airport
KASE: Aspen-Pitkin County Airport
KDEN: Denver International Airport
KEGE: Eagle County Regional Airport
KGEG: Spokane International Airport
KMRY: Monterey Regional Airport
KOAK: Metropolitan Oakland International Airport
KPDX: Portland International Airport
KPHX: Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
KRNO: Reno/Tahoe International Airport
KSAC: Sacramento Executive Airport
KSEA: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
KSFO: San Francisco International Airport
KSJC: Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport
KSLC: Salt Lake City International Airport
KSMF: Sacramento International Airport
KYKM: Yakima Air Terminal

This increases the number of towered city pairs and reduces the distance between towered airports.

Detail on the Western US subscription can be found here: http://www.pilotedge.net/pages/western-expansion

Hang in there, there are more changes in the works, too!

So, down the highway, a Midwest expansion? Say Chicago/Kansas City?

No. The next expansion will be more fields within WUS. We want to decrease the distance between available towered airports inside WUS, not increase it by widening our footprint within the US beyond what we already cover.

Separate to that, the next logical expansion will be Europe.

I like that Europe is Mention. Where in Europe do you think would probably be the next step? :-)

Europe yes! I'm from the UK and the PE service starts 4pm local time for which is fine because I can only get on in the evenings anyway with a small family.

The thought of the UK covered from head to toe with PE professional ATC sounds amazing, I would pay DOUBLE what I pay now.

Here's hoping...
