Airport does not appear to have an officially recognized ICAO code. Therefore I recommend we add X to the code to indicate it's fictitious and follow our guideliens: XFAAF.
please review XSG-3008: New Airport Code Request as this person refused to open faaf as an icao code as they could not verify the airport
so please explain to me ho do i get this clearly existing airport into the game as you will not open a fictitious code and they wont open it with a real code
Yes that's how it works. If you file a new request, and set ICAO to 'No', a fictitious code will be automatically generated for you - based on the country the airport exists in.

please note i could have just edited the provided wiki list to include FAAF but chose not to as maybe there is something i am not understanding.
yours in hope

Upon reflection can the code be made into XFAAF
as i believe that is the standard for fictitious codes

Invalid ICAO code.

YOU need to file a new request using the non-ICAO syntax. The moderators are not able to make any corrections for you.

This airport is on the Gateway, but cannot be downloaded for view or updates.
Reason?
