Description

WORK IN PROGRESS 0.1

Toowoomba Wellcamp is listed as its original name of Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport in MSFS under the same ICAO code of YBWW. Due to old Bing maps data and being such a new airport it is little more than a grass strip in the simulator. I felt it was an important airport to be added since the new QANTAS pilot academy run by FTA adelaide has recently been opened.

As such I have imported google maps aerial data which in itself appears to be a little out of date for the current state of the airport and have begun construction of the airfield from the ground up.

I have tried to replicate the ground markings as accurately as possible including with custom lines.

I have yet to even scratch the surface in terms of custom buildings but felt a semi workable airport was worthy of the first upload.

Rest assured I will be further developing this airport as much as possible. If anyone has any additional photos including the FTA pilot training facility I would love to receive a PM

Included So Far:
✔ google maps aerial
Runway with markings and papi lights
Workable taxiway system

basic apron and custom markings
basic FTA pilot academy hanger location (at this stage generic hangar)

Airport Information:

Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport (IATA: WTB, ICAO: YBWW) is an airport in Wellcamp, 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km; 9.7 mi) west from the CBD of Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. It was known as Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport until November 2017

The airport and an associated aviation and business park is the brainchild of the Wagner family, a business family prominent in the Toowoomba region. It is the first major greenfield public airport development in Australia since Melbourne Airport opened in 1970. It is also the first privately funded major airport in the country.

The airport is rated at Code E and with its 2,870-metre (9,416 ft) long by 45-metre (148 ft) wide runway can handle aircraft the size and weight of the Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 747-8. The airport is estimated to have a catchment area of 344,000 people and in 2017 handled 157,000 passengers (a 25.9% growth from the previous year), making it the 33rd busiest regional airport in Australia annually.
