Channel Islands National Park, California v1.0
Welcome to Channel Islands National Park
The Channel Islands National Park is part of the Channel Islands in southern California.
It’s located approx. 20nm off the coast of Santa Barbara. If you like island flying and avoid populated places, these islands are a recommendation.
Few other places in SoCal are so far out. If the mainland is too busy and aircrafts are stacking in Catalina, go here and you will most likely find your peace.
Most of the park is administered by the NPS headquartered in Ventura, where the Channel Island National Park visitor center is situated too.
However, The National Conservancy, an environmental organization, owns and manages large parts of Santa Cruz Island, the largest island of the park.
Besides access by sea, Channel Islands Aviation offers a year-round charter service to the islands out of Camarillo Airport.
This pack includes:
Point Bennett Research Station Airstrip (uncharted)
San Miguel Island Ranger Station Airstrip (uncharted)
Bechers Bay Airstrip (uncharted)

The airstrip has rising and challenging terrain on three sides, so be careful.

(thanks for creating those!)
Note:
Where applicable, I used the real names and codes.
Where not, I took the names and designators from MSFS2020 to prevent scenery conflicts.
Santa Cruz Ranch Airstrip´s real code is 44CA, however, this code is used for another airport in MSFS2020, so I had to make up another one.
This scenery is based on the X-Plane 11 sceneries I’ve created.
Known Issues:
Until there is a greenhouse object available, the greenhouses next to the San Miguel Ranger Station are left out.
There hasn’t been released a BN-2 Islander yet
As always, feedback and comments are appreciated!
Enjoy!
