SVFM - La Carlota Airport in Caracas Venezuela (Airport Improvement):

La Carlota is a small airfield located in the middle of the city of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. Its current name is General Francisco de Miranda AB, but in the past it was simply known by La Carlota airport.

It is now a military airfield that operates only during the day. It is primarily engaged in operations for military aircraft and helicopters and has been this way since 2005. Private use of the airfield is only allowed for people who obtain an individual permit from the government. Direct observation of the airfield shows several landings per day by the types of small aircraft used for general aviation. It is difficult to determine whether these aircraft are military, government, or private.
 
This version of the SVFM simulates the airfield as it is today, with a slightly fresher appearance and allowing night operations.

SVFM has a single runway (11-29) on asphalt. The preferred runway is RWY11 due to the prevailing winds coming from the east. The approach is very challenging due to the presence of very tall office and apartment buildings below the landing path. Asobo really did an excellent job representing the city of Caracas with 3D-AI. At the moment there is no photogrammetry available in the region.
