Hi,  
thank you very much for your wish but this is a private airport and not listed in the AIP of the Philippines. Therefore we have no access to the airport/runway data which we need to add such requests. Also you wrote, RPEN or RPEL … two different airport icao codes but what is the right one and do El Nido has one?

Do you have any official real-world references from this airport?

Thank you  
Richard

RPEN is the realworld Icao and serviced by AirSwift Airlines.

Hi,  
yes, I haven’t written that this is not a real world ICAO code but this airport is not listed in the AIP of the Philippines and therefore not included in the source.

The AIPs are the base of the source data and will be offered by each country, when the country doesn’t offer any information to this airport such airports are missing in the standard source files of the data provider too.

… when you have any real-world references/links to this airport, we can try to add it manually as tailored records.

Cheers  
Richard

Ok, but then please report it to ASOBO because we may not change airport ICAO codes in the MSFS when they are existing in the stock data.

In this case, it seems, the stock data of the MSFS are wrong.

Hi Navigraph Team

Please add RPEN into simbrief as it’s a crucial base for AirSWIFT. Coordinates are easily found online. It is also a recognized airport on FR24. There are sceneries on flightsim.to supporting this airport as well.

Thanks

Hi,  
When you can offer this airport in ARIN424 (v18/19) format, we can add it to the data, at least, not in the charts.

Cheers  
Richard
