"Sir you already flew to many places in Turkey, but you why you didn’t fly to Antalya
Gazipasa," he said, I decided to fly from Adnan Menderes to Antalya Gazipasa, I
prepared my flight plan and when I arrived the finals there was no airport in sight . I
cannot explain my surprise at that moment. Unfortunately, FSX has all the route
information of Gazipaşa in its data, but forgot to position the airport and the runway. I
flew for the second time by downloading Gazipaşa from the IVAO Scenery page.

Division as a school, I want them to know that they the IVAO Turkey division staff are
extremely knowledgeable can teach what they want to learn and they are always
there to answer every question. They must definitely request training in the subjects
they feel lacking, read the documents in the Division and watch the training videos
available on the internet and fly a lot. Also, when they gain experience in the future,
they should not forget the first days of theirs so that they can approach those who
