Bad weather: airport closed "black"
-
Dear all,
I am creating a bad weather mission. I used weather commander and once I am in the in the mission, the ATC tells me that the Airport status is black (closed).
It must be due to either the crosswind or low visibility. Would you know what are the criterias in Falcon BMS for an airport to be closed or opened ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards,

CobraFor visibility , the min ILS is indicated in the charts
If your airbase is not ils équiped read min VFR conditions in the chart
For crosswind IIR it is 26 or 30kts, need to check

Ok there is also a limit on cloud celiing, this is also indicated in the airbases charts
the cross wind limit is 25 kts
if ATC is unable to invert the QFU, tail wind limit is 10 kts
