The Avatar Frank
If you are using Prepar3D v3 (or later) you will be able to use Frank,
our pilot, as the avatar (see the P3D v3 documentation about informa-
tion on avatars). When selecting an aircraft you can also select the
avatar to be loaded. You can load Frank with any aircraft. He is able to
stand idle, walk, run, stand to crouch, walk while crouching, crouch to
stand, jump, swim and fall, all using the default P3D v3 commands. To
spawn the avatar go to any external view of an aircraft or vehicle and
use the [Shift]-[Ctrl]-[E] command. You can then use the avatar to
explore the scenery.
History
Manchester Airport (IATA: MAN, ICAO: EGCC) is an international
airport in Ringway, Manchester, England, 7.5 nautical miles (13.9 km,
8.6 mi) south west of Manchester city centre. In 2015, it was the third
busiest airport in the United Kingdom in terms of passenger numbers.
Manchester Airport has flights to around 225 destinations, three
terminals, a goods terminal and two runways, each over 3,281 yd
(3,000 m) in length. The airport covers an area of 1,440 acres (580
ha).
Officially opened on 25 June 1938, it was originally known as Ringway
Airport. In World War II, as RAF Ringway, it served as a base for the
Royal Air Force. The airport is owned and managed by the Manchester
Airports Group (MAG), a holding company owned by the Australian
finance house IFM Investors and the ten metropolitan borough
councils of Greater Manchester, with Manchester City Council owning
the largest stake.
Manchester is the largest airport outside the South East and handles
more international flights than other regional airports in the UK. The
airport handled 23.1 million passengers in 2015 and has capacity for
up to 50 million passengers annually. Future developments include the
£800 million Manchester Airport City logistics, manufacturing, office
and hotel space next tot the airport, and transport improvements such
as the SEMMMS relief road and a High Speed 2 station.
