EPBC Babice
is a highly detailed scenery of general aviation airport located
10km WNW of the downtown of Warsaw, Poland. This scenery is designed for Microsoft Flight
Simulator 2004. EPBC Babice is a payware scenery however there is a fully
functional demo scenery provided that you can use for any online and
multiplayer flying.
Airport history:
EPBC Babice used to be a military facility.
Before 1918 it was occupated by Russian and German air forces.
In 1918 the Institute of Aviation Research was established (later
it became Technical Aviation Institute). During the World War II
the field was probably used as a grass strip. After the war the
aerodrome was taken over by Polish military and a large military
base was created. The facility did not appear on Warsaw maps
until late 70s. The military base had two concrete runways used
by varios jet aircrafts and fighters. One of them is still
partly used (1.3km from a total lenght of 2.5km) and the other
one became a Powstancow Slaskich street (it was 2km long).
EPBC Babice aerodrome is currently
serving mainly Warsaw Aeroclub, Air Rescue and some
executive air taxi companies. The airport has one
concrete and one grass runway. The concrete runway is
available for night operations. Babice is recognised as
a quite dangerous aerodrome due to its localization -
its in a very centre of the city and there were lately
some tragic accidents. There are some plans to demolish
the airport and make a residential area instead.
