Buffalo Niagara International has an 8,829-foot 5/23 primary and a 7,161-foot crossing 14/32 in Class C airspace. The field stands at 727 feet near Lake Erie.

You work Buffalo Approach. The airport's master plan calls 5/23 primary, and FAA noise guidance prefers it for turbojets when available. The game models northeast and southwest reciprocal flows on that strip; crosswind 14/32 remains selectable but is outside the automatic flows. Departures use radar vectors because no Buffalo SID survives the supported CIFP leg set.

The Busy tier mixes Southwest, American, Delta, United, JetBlue and Frontier. The airport lists their nonstop destinations, while weights and cadence are gameplay calibration rather than a schedule. Lake Erie is not hand-drawn on the scope without sourced shoreline data.
