     Coco Control (119.60 COM) requires all turbojet aircraft
not to exceed 200kts below 10,000ft on approach to Juan
Santamaria Intl airport.

     Juan Santamaria Intl Airport runway 07/25 is 9882ft/3012m
long at elevation 3021ft/920m.

     The approach to runway 07 at Juan Santamaria Intl is made by
flying towards TIO VOR 115.70 at a heading of 66 degrees. At 25nm
from TIO (int OROTINA) reduce  altitude to 7000', at 15nm reduce
to 6000'. IOCO 109.50 ILS range is approximately 20nm from TIO.

     Juan Santamaria R07 departure, maintain runway heading and
maximum climb possible until 4nm from TIO or 4500', then

     (a) turn right climbing to TIO VOR without exceeding 
          TIO R-113, cross TIO VOR at 7000'

          or

     (b) turn right to a 140 degree heading to intercept 
          TIO R-110.

     Liberia Intl Airport runway 07/25 is 9022ft/2750m long at
elevation 264ft/80m.

     The approach to runway 07/25 at Liberia is made by flying 
R-260 from LIB VOR at 3000'. At 10nm from LIB VOR make a left
turn and approach LIB VOR at 61 degrees.

     Jeppesen Latin America High/Low Altitude Enroute Chart 2
is highly recommended for flying in this scenery file.

     The coasts and mountains of Costa Rica, and the cities of
San Jose, Limon and Puntarenas were created with synthetic
scenery. The cities of Alajuela, Heredia and Liberia were created
as gray polygons with street lights at night. A few roads have
been added.

     The WORLD3.BGL file that comes with FS 5 incorrectly places
the COL 380 ADF near the LIO 116.3 VOR.
