Jamaica
Welcome to the beautiful Island of Jamaica. Jamaica has two international airports; Norman Manley (MKJP) located in the capital of Kingston on the south east coast, and Sangster International (MKJS) located in the tourist hub of Montego Bay on the north west coast. The country's national airline is Air Jamaica which boasts worldwide flights to and from Jamaica. It's Caribbean hub is in Montego Bay.

The country is mountainous and terrain avoidance is of paramount importance when providing ATC. For this purpose staff who wish to provide ATC must be thoroughly familiar with all published arrival and departure procedures. Review the charts carefully and if you are not sure please ask. We would hate to see you vector a pilot into the blue mountains although we know the coffee is fantastic.

Montego Bay RWY 07 ILS 109.50 is not included in the default scenery in MS Flight Simulator 2002, however I have added the ILS to the default Caribbean ILS file. The name of the file is "caribils.bgl" and resides in the scenerydb\westhem\carib\scenery folder. I strongly suggest backing up the original file before replacing it with the revised version in the event it creates a problem. Download now. FS 2004 has the ILS

There is a great scnery addon for FS2004 for Montego Bay by Bill Melichar. Download now

This AFCAD2 file created specifically for use with Bill Melichars Mo Bay scenery. It provides better parking and alignment for AI traffic
