X-Plane 11 SBBI Curitiba Bacacheri Airport Scenery

This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Bacacheri Airport (IATA: BFH, ICAO: SBBI), which is an airport in Curitiba, Parana, in Brazil. It is named after the neighborhood where it is located. It is operated by Infraero.

It includes corrected aprons, ramps, gates, taxiways, lighting system, city buildings (for the city of Curitiba), orthophoto scenery for the airfield area, and (XP11 only) airport ground services (like push back).

The history of Bacacheri airport begins in 1930 as an air field for Military Aviation. In 1942 the Ministry of Air Force officially upgraded the facility to the status of an Air Force Base. On March 31, 1980, Bacacheri Air Force Base was decommissioned and its administration handled over to Infraero. However, Bacacheri still has a strong military presence because the Brazilian Integrated Air Traffic Control and Air Defense Center section 2 (Cindacta II) is located in the vicinity of the airport. In 1997 the airport was closed for scheduled operations and since then it is mostly dedicated to general aviation and aircraft maintenance operations. No scheduled flights operate at this airport.

This scenery was tested and is operational (as of June 30, 2017) in "X-Plane 11.02r1 64 bit", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of June 30, 2017) in "X-Plane 10.51 64 bit", Windows 10 Home.
