Beschreibung
FAMET El Copero (LEEC) is the Spanish Army Helicopter Forces base located to the south of Seville. This base is currently not existing in game. El Copero is the homebase of BHELMA IV, operating Cougar and Super Puma helicopters. The base also holds the Guardia Civil helicopter that operates in the area. This is also the homebase of several Anti-Air and electronic warfare units. It´s close to Rota and Gibraltar airports and near the mountains, so it´s a perfect location for helicopter operations in the southern coast of Spain.
Complete features list of the addon is the following:
* Accurate representation of base layout and its key areas, including the preserved helicopter monuments that exist in the real base.
* Complete apron area featuring more than a dozen parking positions, sloped terrain and hangars ramps.
* PAPI, runway lights and taxiway lights. Taxiway signs added to ease ground movements as well.
* Fuel box and ground services included to take advantage of all game features. In real base they just use a fuel truck.
* Multiple small details added such as a static helicopter (just one due to available room constraints at the apron), marshallers, working crews and decoration.
* Lots of original ground textures corrections and addition of custom vegetation to better match the real one.
Airport does not include any custom approach, as most operations are visual or are supported by nearby El Copero NDB. You can find the official charts here: https://aip.enaire.es/AIP/#LEEC
The addon requires official game content from several airport addons. Therefore you need to install the World Updates and the 40th anniversary content as well.

Magnífico trabajo y escenario aunque no vuelo helicópteros pero sí otras aeronaves que pueden utilizar esta base como diversión. En esta histórica base aérea sevillana de El Copero operaron aviones como los Messer españoles HA-1109 y HA-1112 "Buchón" o los CASA Bucker Bu 1.131 "Jungman" y Bu 1.133 "Jungmeister". Por Ahora he conseguido despegar y aterrizar con una CASA Bu 1.131 sin problemas en su corta pista y ha sido divertido, lo seguiré intentando con otros aviones. Muchas gracias por tu gran trabajo.

Me alegra que te guste. La pista creo que es herencia del campo de aviación original de hecho. Supongo que la conservaron por no perder la operatividad ya que en el apron no hay zona de toma directa como en otros helipuertos. De hecho por lo que he visto en algunos videos los Cougar toman tierra en el TLOF (la cruz de malta de la pista) y luego ruedan hasta el apron.

Thanks for your comment! Nice to see that you liked it. My plan in short time is to cover the spanish helicopter bases. I would like to create Almagro and Bétera after El Copero, which are separate bases non existing in game. In Canarias FAMET uses the apron at Los Rodeos airport and I don´t want to create incompatibilities with that airport so I would most likely skip that one and leave it for the third party airport modders. Then my plan is to create Armilla base, the Air Force helicopter school and homebase of the aerobatic helicopter unit. After that we will see because very few spanish military airports exist in game and that will be too much work for me, even if I would like to see them done. Rota is one of the few which is added to game, even if it´s a default one. On the other hand airports are more complex because they usually include SID/STARS or custom approaches which is one of the resons for crash to desktop when they contain errors, and I want to avoid that too because I don´t have experience with that.

FAMET Agoncillo (LELO)
FAMET Agoncillo (LELO), named Héroes del Revellín base, is the Spanish Army Helicopter Forces base located next to Logroño airport. This base is currently not existing in game. Agoncillo is the homebase of BHELMA III, operating NH-90 "Caimán" helicopters which are some of the most recent additions to Spanish Army Forces. The base also holds the Guardia Civil helicopter that operates in the area. In order to ensure maximum compatibility with any other Logroño airport addons this addon covers only the military area and uses its own ICAO and radio frequencies according to latest available charts. The base itself is not very complex, however it´s layout is quite unique. It´s one of the oldest military fields in the country and the northernmost FAMET base. It´s located in an area surrounded by mountains, which results in a really attractive location for helicopter operations.

FAMET Bétera (LEBT)
FAMET Bétera (LEBT), named Jaime I base, is the Spanish Army Helicopter Forces base located near Valencia, so its the perfect location for operations in the east coast. This base is currently not existing in game. It´s the homebase of BHELEME II emergency helicopter squadrons operating Cougar helicopters with their unique orange/camo livery. Those squadrons provide support to both military and civilian operations (such as rescue and firefighting) as the squadrons operate for both FAMET and UME. Therefore the helicopters are still used as utility ones although this is not the main role of those squadrons. The base is also one of the most important commanding HQ in the country capable of coordinating both NATO and civilian emergency operations and includes a wide variety of firefighting vehicles and rescue units.

Air Force Armilla (LEGA)
Armilla is one of the oldest airfields in Spain and it´s located next to Granada, in the heart of Sierra Nevada mountains. This base is currently not existing in game. Armilla is the homebase of Air Force Wing 78 that includes the Air Force helicopter school and Patrulla ASPA, which is one of the very few helicopter aerobatic teams in the world. Wing 78 operates Sikorsky S-76 and Colibri helicopters. S-76s also perform SAR missions as a secondary task while their main purpose is the helicopter school. S-76s are being replaced by H135s during 2023 as they are at the end of their lifespan. Base is prepared for fixed wing operations as well and even to receive cargo airplanes using south apron for that purpose, where you will find a parking position for heavy helicopters and cargo. Main runway is often used as FATO by helicopter formations and a VFR helipad located directly on north taxiway is also available. Patrulla ASPA uses the northernmost portion of north apron while helicopter school uses the other portion of north apron. The school has an additional set of 6 dedicated shorter runways/aprons, a small cargo apron and several helipads to the west of main runway. There´s a specific non-paved taxiway circuit that connects them with main aprons. Base also has a small museum, a fuel depot and one ammunition storage bunker located to the south of aprons.

I just released a new version 1.04 to include ligths, as original area was too dark, and I included a few additional corrections as well. This covers all pending updates for a while. Enjoy it!
