London City Airport by AeroX Simulations

Real-world avation
London City is located in the center of London and can
be operated by smaller jet and turboprop aircrafts.
Aircraft which are operated there:
• ATR 72
• Airbus A318
• Bombardier Dash8 Q400
• BAe 146
• Dornier 328
• Embraer 135; 170; 190
• Fokker 50
The approach into LCY is very challenging and
impressive. You will fly above the City of London -
sight-seeing is guaranteed! It's possible to take a look
at the Central of London before the final turn on the
runway. In the base-leg of runway 09 you can see the
House of Parliament, the London Eye and the Shard. As
you finished the turn, you can see the Tower Bridge to
your right. Your aircraft needs a steep-approach
capability to operate at LCY. On the Final you can see
the O2-Arena. The glideslope has an angle of 5.5
degrees, you will need the speedbrakes to get down
safely. Next to the runway there is “The Crystal” and
the London Borough of Newham. London City Airport
has one of the interestings Approaches.
The Approach onto runway 27 is interesting as well, you
will fly above the famous Queen Elisabeth Bridge and
you will have a great view of the River Thames. There
is as well an approach angle of 5.5 degrees, like runway
09. This is to prevent the City of noise. After you
vacated the runway, the exciting things are not over
yet! Taxing at London City Airport is very challenging,
too. You have to make a 180 turn once you arrived at
your final parking position. If you don't, you have to get
out of the position and try it again! This happens in
real-life too.

SAM at London City


You can use SAM at LCY. Once you arrived at your gate
you will see a SAM marshaller standing straight to the
Terminal, he will advise you to turn by 90°, so when
the marshaller crosses the bar, you should make a turn
at max angle to join the next marshaller, these
marshallers will advise you to stop. (See pictures
below)
