This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Benedito Lacerda Airport (IATA: MEA, ICAO: SBME) is the airport serving Macaé, RJ, in Brazil. The airport is named after Benedicto Lacerda (1903–1958), a musician born in Macaé. It is operated by Infraero.
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 established in the 1960s as an airfield for general aviation and a Flying club. In the 1980s the runway was paved and an apron and a terminal with 941 m² were constructed, enabling Macaé Airport to fully support the operations related to the Campos basin (off shore oil platform in the costal area of the state of Rio de Janeiro). In fact, most of its movement (98%) is related to helicopter flights to/from offshore oil platforms of the Campos basin. It features a lot of apron positions for rotorcrafts.
This scenery was tested and is operational (as of March 26, 2017) in "X-Plane 11 Public Beta #17 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of March 26, 2017) in "X-Plane 10.51 64 bit", Windows 10 Home.
