Volcanology Brief

Merapi

Tectonic setting: Sunda Volcanic Arc, where rapid subduction feeds a closely spaced chain of active stratovolcanoes.

Why it matters: Merapi is one of Indonesia's most persistently active volcanoes and sits immediately north of Yogyakarta.

Volcano & Terrain Tips — Simulator

Ash / plume awareness: Treat any visible volcanic plume as a no-go visual area in the simulator and route around it.
Terrain: The altitude band is a sightseeing suggestion, not a clearance guarantee. Use the simulator's terrain/weather information and stay laterally clear of high summits.
Weather: Mountain cloud, rotor and poor visibility can hide landmarks quickly. If the route stops being visually comfortable in MSFS, divert around the high terrain.

Data Note

Airport existence, coordinates, elevation, magnetic variation, runway length, fuel flags and airport radio frequencies are derived from the supplied MSFS 2024 scenery-library CSV; radio-navigation references use the supplied VOR, NDB and ILS datasets.

VOR, NDB and ILS references are selected from the supplied MSFS 2024 navigation-library CSVs. Only nearby aids useful for orientation are shown, so the volcanic sightseeing route remains visually readable.
