**** ATTENTION *** "World Update 11 - Canada" has made a major upgrade to this airport. While I put many hours into making this mod, the new one from MS/Asobo surpasses it. Thank you for downloading my version, but check out the new one in World Update 11 from MS. You may have to delete this airport if you have runway conflicts with MS.
Invermere Airport is located in the Columbia Valley of British Columbia, in the Canadian Rockies. Although commercial aircraft do land here, it is primarily a general aviation airport. The asphalt runway is 3,000' (910 m) long. It is not lighted.
In the summer months there can be heavy glider activity from the Invermere Soaring Centre. Babin Air is the local air operator and Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) offering scenic, charter flights and maintenance.
Invermere is considered one of the best mountain soaring sites in the world with a wonderful mix of thermals, dynamic soaring and wave. The best soaring season is May to September with cloud bases from typically 9000 ft. to 15000 ft. June, July, August are the months to choose if you are heading for the records. There have been World Records and 1000 km + flights already flown from here.
Airport Information:
SkyVector: CAA8
Installation:this version of CAA8 is no longer installable.
Can you use the same folder name with each update so I dont end up with duplicates? Each folder for the same airport is different with each update. Not a big deal, but takes extra time to sort out if you're downloading lots of airports.

For some reason airport elevation shows as 0 when imported into Little Nav Map.

A good basic rendition - but does the area really look that bad in MSFS -would expect it to look a lot better.....

When I landed here the first time I was disappointed with the way Asobo modeled the airport as well as the surrounding town. The elevation, especially on the taxiways and aprons was way too steep. I've leveled it out, replaced several buildings, and added quite a bit of interesting content, all while trying to keep to the actual airport design. This is V 1.0.
