SBPA v1.2.0 Release Notes:
- v1.3.0 adds the runway extention to SBPA and 3D grass, and also all these past additions too: v1.2.0 adds the new terminal building built by FRAPORT to the scenery (XP11 only). You only need v1.3.0 for XP11. Download v1.1.0 for XP10 scenery (without the new terminal building built by FRAPORT, sorry, but no plans to update it for XP10 in the future).
This is an X-Plane 11 scenery package for Salgado Filho International Airport (IATA: POA, ICAO: SBPA), the main airport serving Porto Alegre, in Brazil. It is named after the Senator and first Minister of the Brazilian Air Force Joaquim Pedro Salgado Filho (1888–1950). It is operated by Infraero.
It includes corrected aprons, ramps, gates, taxiways, lighting system, city buildings, ortho pohoto scenery for the airport area, and airport ground services (like push back).
Salgado Filho was originally called São João Federal Airport, after the neighborhood where it is located. In the beginning it was an air club, where the first flights landed on May 31, 1923. In 1932, needing a facility to use its aircraft with landing-gear which were replacing its seaplanes, Varig started using São João Airport as its operational base. However, it was only in 1940 that the first passenger terminal was inaugurated. In 1953 the old terminal was incorporated into the maintenance facilities of Varig, a new passenger terminal was opened, and runways were paved. The total area of the Salgado Filho Airport is about 3,805,810.04 m² with 142,750 m² of ramp area. Terminal 1 has 37,600 m² and 16 gates with jetways. Terminal 2 has 15,540 m². In front of terminal 1 there is a carpark with 1,440 places. Terminal 1 is the first facility in Latin America with a shopping mall. One of the two TAP Maintenance & Engineering centers in Brazil is located at Salgado Filho International Airport.
This scenery was tested and is operational (as of May 23, 2019) in "X-Plane 11.32 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of May 23, 2019) in "X-Plane 10.32 64 bit", Windows 10 Home.
