v1.1.0 Release Notes: XP11 only. Adding the new expansion built by ZURICH - for XP11 only. Download v1.0.0 for XP10 scenery (without the new terminal building built by ZURICH, sorry, but no plans to update it for XP10 in the future).
This is an X-Plane 11 scenery package for Florianópolis-Hercílio Luz International Airport (IATA: FLN, ICAO: SBFL), is the airport serving Florianopolis, SC, in Brazil. It is named after Hercílio Pedro da Luz (1860–1924), three times governor of Santa Catarina state, and senator. It is operated by Infraero. Some of its facilities are shared with the Florianópolis Air Force Base of the Brazilian Air Force.
It includes corrected aprons, ramps, gates, taxiways, lighting system, city buildings, ortho-photoscenery for the airfield area, and (XP11 only) airport ground services (like push back).
The airport was built on the site of an old Air Naval Base, which operated until 1941, when its jurisdiction changed to the Brazilian Air Force. Between 1927 and 1932, the then known as Campeche Field was also used by the French aviators of the Compagnie Générale Aéropostale for its operations in Florianópolis. Among them were Jean Mermoz, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Henri Guillaumet. Between 1942 and 1945 the runway 03/21, apron, control tower and passenger terminal were built. At the same time, some facilities of the Florianópolis Air Force Base were built and made operational. In the period between 1952 and 1954 the passenger terminal was rebuilt and was operational until 1976 when a brand-new terminal building and apron were opened. The old facility is today the cargo terminal. The new terminal was further enlarged in 1988 and 2000, reaching the present 8,703 m². In 1978 the runway 14/32 was opened allowing a great increase in traffic. In 1995 the airport was upgraded to international category and started receiving particularly seasonal and charter flights from Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. A brand new terminal and a new taxiway system is under renovation work, with quite some delay.
This scenery was tested and is operational (as of May 24, 2019) in "X-Plane 11.32 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of May 24, 2019) in "X-Plane 10.32 64 bit", Windows 10 Home.
