Introduction

Uberaba–Mário de Almeida Franco Airport (ICAO: SBUR, IATA: UBA) is a public regional airport serving the city of Uberaba in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Originally opened in 1935, both Infraero and later AENA (since August 2022) have operated the airport (Wikipedia, Scribd, skyvector.com).

At an elevation of 2,655 ft (809 m), SBUR features a single asphalt runway (17/35) suitable for light to medium turboprops and small jets. In 2024, it handled approximately 178,000 passengers, with around 6,900 aircraft movements and 142 t of cargo (Wikipedia).

This regional hub connects Uberaba to larger Brazilian cities via Embraer and turboprop aircraft, vital for local business and agricultural activity.

SimFly Tips

  • Category 2 aligns this airport with regional operations—ideal for flights using Cessna Caravans, Embraer EMB-110/Brasília, or ATR-42.
  • For payouts, 60% is suggested, lower than larger hubs to reflect smaller passenger flow.
  • Include NDB (and possibly VOR-DME if added) approaches for IFR simulation operations.

São Francisco do Sul Airport (ICAO SSSS) is a small public airfield serving São Francisco do Sul on Brazil’s northern Santa Catarina coast. Featuring a single grass runway (18/36) of about 700 m, it primarily accommodates light general aviation and sport aircraft. There are no scheduled commercial operations, but the field supports local recreational flying and serves as a base for regional civil-police aviation (Orbx, metar-taf.com).

SimFly / Flight-Sim Tips

  • Category 1 suits minimal-traffic grass strips where operations are limited to small props and ultralights.
  • A 60% payout aligns with low passenger activity but keeps missions worthwhile.
  • Expect visual (VFR-only) operations—no IFR procedures or navaids based at SSSS. Nearby VORs (JNV, CTB) are available for navigation (skyvector.com).
  • Grass runway texture, small hangars, occasional dynamic objects (fishing boats along the bay), and absence of jetways add realism.
  • Consider adding a scenery mod: Aero CB’s “SSSS for MSFS” from Orbx includes animated hangar doors, local boats, bay landmarks, and detailed grass/taxiways (Orbx).

WBKK - Kota Kinabalu International Airport, Sabah, Malaysia

XPlane gateway scenery: X-Plane Scenery Gateway - WBKK
SkyVector: SkyVector Airport Info for WBKK
Other Resources: Official site - Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI)

Introduction:
Kota Kinabalu International Airport (WBKK), pronounced “KOH-tah KEE-nah-BAH-loo”, is Malaysia’s second busiest airport and the main gateway to the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo. Nestled along the South China Sea with Mount Kinabalu rising to the northeast, WBKK offers breathtaking approaches, particularly runway 02 over water. The airport supports a mix of domestic, regional, and long-haul international flights, and is a hub for Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia. Its single 3,000-meter runway can accommodate widebody aircraft, and sim pilots will enjoy the coastal visual arrivals as well as challenging weather due to tropical storms and low cloud layers. The airport has a modern terminal and is a popular departure point for flights to remote airstrips in the interior of Borneo.

Kota Kinabalu’s airport began life as Jesselton Airfield, a Japanese-constructed military strip during World War II, which was heavily bombed by Allied forces before transitioning to civilian use post‑1945 under North Borneo’s Department of Civil Aviation. Over the decades it evolved rapidly: by 1959 the runway had been extended to accommodate Viscount aircraft, and by 1963 it stretched further to serve Comet 4 jetliners. A major master plan conceived in 1969 laid the groundwork for today’s modern facility, including plans for a 2,987 m runway, upgraded navigational systems, and a brand-new terminal to handle Boeing 707 and 747 aircraft.

Kota Kinabalu’s single runway was extended to 3,780 m, enabling it to accommodate large aircraft like the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747, and the terminal size expanded from 34,000 m² to some 87,000 m²—now capacity-rated for up to 12 million passengers annually. The sleek, modern departure hall incorporates cultural touches: columns inspired by traditional Sabah “Wakid” baskets and floor tiles fashioned with Bajau and Rungus tribal patterns, blending local heritage with international standards.

Introduction:

Welcome to ENVA – Trondheim Airport, Værnes – Category 4.

Set against the dramatic fjords and mountainous backdrop of central Norway, ENVA is both scenic and challenging, rewarding pilots magnificient views and nice approach along with some tokens. This coastal airport sits just east of Trondheim, where Arctic weather and narrow valley terrain make each arrival and departure an experience to remember.

Runway 27 often receives inbound traffic due to prevailing winds, requiring RNAV or ILS approaches that thread the aircraft between hills and over fjords. Winds from the north can be turbulent as they funnel through the valley, making for unpredictable crosswinds and occasional wind shear.

Departures to the east on runway 09 face immediate altitude restrictions due to nearby terrain, demanding a steep climb gradient and precise navigation.

Winter operations are especially demanding, with snow, ice, and low visibility common for much of the year. Despite these challenges, ENVA remains a vital hub for regional and international flights, connecting Norway’s heartland to Europe and beyond.
