NOTAM - Miami International
In August of 2005 Miami International added RWY 8L/26R and changed other runway designations.
RWY 9L/27R was changed to RWY 8R/26L.
RWY 9R/27L was changed to RWY 9/27.
Because RWY 8L/26R is not depicted in the default FS9 scenery, it is not used unless requested.
Update your scenery to show the new runways!

An update was developed to add the missing fixes of the RNAV Departure and arrival procedures. Visit ZMA Experience for more information.

Training Tips  THE ACTIVE RUNWAY Whether heading out to fly, or returning to land, one bit of information every pilot needs is an answer to the question, "What's the active runway?" At towered airports you'll get the answer on the automated weather recording or when ATC replies to your call-up with instructions: "Taxi to Runway 8R." At nontowered airports, procedures are less formal, but usually the correct course of action is clear. Occasionally the runway in use seems badly matched to the winds. It could be that a  pilot is practicing crosswind landings or a large aircraft may opt to use the longest runway available.
