Balkans Theater - IAP charts
-
Hi guys.
Well now it is time for Balkans theater to have their navigation charts.
16 IAP (Instrument Approach Procedure) charts are ready and can be downloaded!
Below you can see a preview of the chart of Aviano (it is a pdf file and opens with adobe reader 7.0 and later):
And below you can see a preview of the chart of Gioia Del Colle:
Be sure to read the “Changes needed to be done !.txt” file!
Be advised: At some IAP charts you may see one of the 2 ATC (tower) frequencies with bold numbers. That means prefer this frequency with bold numbers due to the fact that the other frequency isn’t unique for the specific airport, so you may have conflict and be guided to an other one airport and not to the desired one.
Keep in mind that the table of contents at page 2 of MAIP pdf is “active”, means if you left click over the number of a page then you will directly guided to that page!
File updated 12 October 2013: IAP chart for Taszar airbase in Hungary updated!
These charts are for the default Balkans theater, means this one here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?7332-BMS-Balkans-Theater-DOWNLOAD-AREA
If still can’t get the rar file, you can e-mail me at: [email protected] to reply to you with the file attached. The NavAids list can be found in your hard disk in folder …\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-On Balkans\Docs, it is the file “1108_BalkanNav.pdf” by “Red Dog”.
My special thanks to my friend Reinhard “Falcontower” for his hand of help in testing the charts !
This work by me is dedicated to my friend Brian “RAM22” in order to thank him for his hard efforts to improve the nice Balkans theater! If you want to ask something about the procedures, something that you don’t understand, please feel free to do that. My pleasure to help you.
I hope to enjoy all these new charts for Balkans theater.With my best regards,

Almost everything is possible in this simulation,

Hi guys.
Well thank you all for your kindly words.
Now due to the fact that i got a lot of pm’s, i see that falcon pilots have difficulties to understand how to execute the descents via the rate in FT/NM in the profile of the IAP charts.
So i made an xls file (opens with Microsoft Excel 2003 and later) in order to help all the falcon pilots to easily can convert/calculate the rate in FT/NM to degrees and vice versa.You can download the “Convert_FT-NM_to_degrees.zip” file (size: 2.30 KB) from here:
https://www.box.com/s/ekabm94hsmvgrhhs2rtkIf still can’t get the zip file, just “pm” me your e-mail to attach it to you.
I hope to help you.
For any other questions/clarifications i’m here, just side by you ;).

Good thinking

Hi guys.
Well at some IAP charts you may see one of the 2 ATC (tower) frequencies with bold letters. That means prefer this frequency with bold letters due to the fact that the other frequency isn’t unique for the specific airport, so you may have conflict and be guided to other airport and not to desired one.
E.g. at the IAP chart of Gioia Del Colle prefer to use the UHF frequency 275.325 (with bold letters) and not the VHF frequency 122.10.
See you.

Hi my friend.
First i want to thank you for the heads up. ;).
Now the links for converting FT/NM to degrees and vice versa working again, so you can download the util (an xls file).
Also if you like the real procedures (means the IAP charts), you can also have and for other theaters. See here:Aegean theater: NavAids list and 8 navigation (IAP - Instrument Approach Procedure) charts can be downloaded from post #1 at the end of it (there are inside “Aegean_Theater_v1.1_Hotfix” file)
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?7597-Aegean-for-BMS-StatusIsrael theater: 8 navigation (IAP - Instrument Approach Procedure) charts - NavAids list included inside theater installer and can be found in your hard disk in folder …\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-On Israel\Docs\Theater Navigation, it is the file “Israel NavAids list v0.96.pdf”
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?12934-Israel-Theater-Latest-IAP-(Instrument-Approach-Procedure)-chartsPanama theater: NavAids list and 2 navigation (IAP - Instrument Approach Procedure) charts
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?14029-WIP-Panama-Theater-Beta-2-0A-for-BMS-4So you can have any of the previous you want.
If you need any help with the execution of the procedures, just tell me that via post or pm me. My pleasure to help you.
With my regards,

Hi guys.
Well italian air force has 2 airbases for the EF-2000 Typhoon, Gioia del Colle and Grosseto.
Gioia del Colle airbase already has its own IAP chart, so now it is time for Grosseto airbase to have also an IAP chart.
Below you can see a preview of the IAP chart that it is a pdf file and opens with adobe reader 7.0 and later:
You can download this chart as also all the 11 previous and the util to convert the FT/NM to degrees and vice versa from the 1st post of this thread!
Don’t forget the clarification at post #7.
That means for Grosseto airbase prefer to use the unique UHF frequency of 264.75 and NOT the VHF one of 122.10.This IAP chart by me is dedicated to my friend Michael “NIL” and all who participating in the training exercise “Winter hide” in S-RDAF.
If you want to ask something about the procedures, something that you don’t understand, please feel free to do that. My pleasure to help you.
I hope to enjoy all these charts for nice Balkans theater.With my best regards,

Hi guys.
Well at Kosovo war (28 February 1998 – 11 June 1999) Batajnica airbase (LYBT) in Serbia was home of MiG-29s.
Today with Ladevci (LYKV) are the 2 bases for Serbian Air Force.
So in order to be fair and has the “red” side navigation charts, i decided to make the IAP chart for Batajnica airbase in Serbia.
Below is a preview of the chart that is under creation:
Of course like always the procedure will be based on the real one.
I hope that at next weekend chart will be ready ;).
With regards,
Nikos. -
Hi guys.
The “red” side in Balkans theater has now its first navigation chart. It is an ILS approach to Batajnica airbase (LYBT) in Serbia.
Below you can see a preview of the IAP chart that it is a pdf file and opens with adobe reader 7.0 and later:
You can download this chart as also all the 12 previous and the util to convert the FT/NM to degrees and vice versa from the 1st post of this thread!
Be sure to read the “How to activate the ILS Localizer of Batajnica.txt” file!
Don’t forget the clarification at post #7.
That means for Batajnica airbase prefer to use the unique VHF frequency of 118.15 and NOT the UHF one of 230.15.This IAP chart by me is dedicated to my friends Rudy “Fighting Falcon”, Mario “Danguard” and the rest guys in the Balkans team as my personal thanks to them for their AWESOME work!
If you want to ask something about the procedures, something that you don’t understand, please feel free to do that. My pleasure to help you.
I hope to enjoy all these charts for nice Balkans theater.With my best regards,
Nikos Efstratiou. -

Hey my good friend Thomas, this photo is a “copy & paste” from post #13! It is not nice that,come on post a new one :rofl:
Well enjoy the new IAP chart that is a little risky at missed approach and be sure to read the “How to activate the ILS Localizer of Batajnica.txt” file!
See you my friend.
