OR23 Karpens Airport 1.0.0
OR23 Karpens Apt
Oregon, USA
For XP9.7
This is another country PRIVATE short and narrow (1,900x75ft.) dirt/turf strip 10mi. E of KAST Warrenton (Astoria), Oregon that I use as an initial point to descend into KAST from the east. The owner apparently shares the airport with neighbors, as there are several hangars about with access to the strip. XP9.7 had the strip as asphalt, when it is really 'treated' dirt -- that is, it has an application of lignite which minimizes dust and also forms a shallow hard shell on the ground.
Ortho is from the USGS. I used OpensceneryX objects and my own custom ones. Grasses are by Simon W. Other objects are from FlybyGuy and Jaques Brault. I moved the whole thing about 1/8 of a mile east to match up with XP9 roads, and to convert the un-level strip from a dip to a bit of a hump.
Pattern traffic is right. With 'follow terrain' on, landing requires good short-field technique. Your best bet is to approach downwind from the west, get down to less than 500 feet and go to full flaps after turning final. Slow to just above stall just prior to touchdown and raise flaps immediately, feathering the prop and braking heavy. If you go over the hump you will probably not be able to stop.
OpenSceneryX is required.
