Wrong runway setup

Closed

Scenery bug report

In Fiumicino the main runways for arrivals are 16L/34R and 16R/34L, runway 25 and 16R/34L are for departures.
Runway 16C/34C is closed and considered as taxiway D, therefore it should be lit as a taxiway.

    Read more careful, please, the latest LIRF amendments documents.

    Apologies , I don't understand what are you referring to

    Sorry, you are right. AD 2 LIRF 1-11,12 (AIRAC effective date 21 May 2020) has changed 'Runway preferential use'. However, when I had work for that Scenery, these changes has not been
    published yet. By the way, I didn't find on the Eurocontrol more the latest docs, dated after 21 May 2020. Who knows, what the runways will be used. May be, Rwy16C/34C will be using again.
    So, I suppose it's not a bug, because very difficult to track all the changes at Airport since a Scenery has been submitted.

    Yeah no worries, Runway 16C/34C has been completly dismissed since Airac 04/2020 together with all the associated procedures.
    I can't find the AIP airac document but I have attached a screenshot of the Italian AIP regarding the runways for LIRF, as you can see there's no 16C/34C anymore.

    I am an active (well, not so much right now due to Covid) airline pilot flying to LIRF regularly since 1996. I can confirm that runway 16C/34C has never been in use since then. Much like runway 04L/22R at LIPZ, the Italians like to keep "backup" runways, and technically these were not closed for the longest time, but really never used.
