    Apologies, the current (incorrect) ICAO identifier for this airport is 5FI

    I suggest to use XP6AK5 as the ICAO code, in order to follow our guidelines: X (for fictitious code) + country ICAO prefix + IATA or local aviation authority code.

    The FAA code can be added in the metadata and still used to find the airport in -Plane 11.

    So it would be XN6AK5 then (N being the country ICAO prefix for the United States)? This works for me personally, however anyone using plugins such as FSEconomy would not be able to complete flights to/from this airport.

    Can I ask why the suggestion for a fictitious code? 6AK5 is the correct ICAO and IATA identifier. https://www.globalair.com/airport/apt.airport.aspx?aptcode=6AK5

    Thanks,

    6AK5 is the FAA ID. There is no ICAO for this airport.

    ICAO identifiers for the continental US start with K, but Alaskan airports start with P (PA PF PO PP).
