This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Imperatriz-Prefeito Renato Moreira Airport (IATA: IMP, ICAO: SBIZ), which is the airport serving Imperatriz, Brazil. It is named after a former mayor of Imperatriz. 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).
Imperatriz has a long tradition of air services, which started with at the end of the 1930s with Syndicato Condor using seaplanes which landed at Tocantins River. At the end of World War II, the first airport with a 1,200m x 30m earth runway was operational but it was subject to flooding during the rainy season. Even so, Cruzeiro do Sul, Real-Aerovias and later Varig maintained regular operations to Imperatriz. Around the end of the 1960s studies were made for a completely new facility and the site of the present airport was chosen. The airport was opened in 1981 at the same time that an older facility was closed. Airlines and destinations, include:
- Azul Brazilian Airlines to/from => Belo Horizonte-Confins/SBCF, Belém/SBBE, São Luís/SBSL
- LATAM Brasil from/to => Brasília/SBBR, São Luís/SBSL
This scenery was tested and is operational (as of May 04, 2017) in "X-Plane 11.00 RC #1 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of May 04, 2017) in "X-Plane 10.51 64 bit", Windows 10 Home.
