Can the A380 land at TNCM?

I’m wondering if the A380 can land at TNCM?

It cannot. The airport cannot hold it. If you are online and try setting a waypoint to the airport you’ll get an aircraft too large prompt I’m pretty sure.

Probably but I’m not sure. From what I know only the 747 is flying there normally (max size)

You’re right, it can land. Wouldn’t suggest it on the expert server with ATC tho lol.

Yeah you could get a violation

It can with full braking yes, but the airport was not created to service it. The gates don’t fit an A380 either.

I landed it by crashing into the mountain

No… However if you desire to get arrested by the Caribbean Realism Police then 🤷‍♂️

Did it once, never gonna do it again. The A380 is so big, taxiing is pure pain with that thing anyway, but TNCM is just so damn small, I’m really surprised I made it to the jetbridge without hitting any 3D objects. I personally wouldn’t recommend flying anything that’s bigger than an A330 or MD-11 to that airport, I know it can also handle 77Ws and 744s, but even that is kind of complicated there

If you want to use an aircraft with two decks at this airport then I’d recommend to take the 742, it has less than 60 meters of wingspan which makes things much easier than with other aircraft

No. To be as realistic as possible, A380s don’t land there in real life.

Was it a success? I can barely land there on a TBM9
