Scenary package for X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10
SBCT - Curitiba, PR, Brasil
Version 1.0.0 (2017-02-19)
100% freeware
*******
This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Afonso Pena International Airport (IATA: CWB, ICAO: SBCT), the main airport serving Curitiba, Brazil, located in the adjoining municipality of São José dos Pinhais. It is named after Afonso Augusto Moreira Pena (1847–1909), the 6th President of Brazil. It is operated by Infraero.
It includes corrected aprons, ramps, gates, taxiways, lighting system, and (XP11 only) ground services (like pushback).
As it was the case with many important Brazilian airports located in strategic points along the coast, Afonso Pena, was built by the Brazilian Air Force Ministry in partnership with the United States Army during the Second World War. However, since its construction was completed only in 1945, shortly before the end of the war, Afonso Pena never saw heavy military movement. In 1946 most of its movement comprised civil operations. The original passenger terminal was in use until 1959 when a brand new terminal was built. This second terminal is today used for cargo operations. In 1996, the present passenger terminal was built. The main problem of the airport are the unstable weather conditions of the region, particularly fog and smog in the morning hours of winter and the fact that the auxiliary runway 11/29 is too small and plagued with old equipment. There are also plans to upgrade runway 15/33 from an ILS CAT II runway to ILS CAT III.
This scenery was tested and is operational (as of February 19, 2017) in "X-Plane 11 Public Beta #11 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of February 19, 2017) in "X-Plane 10.51 64 bit", Windows 10 Home.
