Now the navdata and the scenery have been separated. Just delete the file "navdata-fhsh.bgl" if you have subscribed 3rd party global navdata from vendors like Navigraph. Also check here if you experience the very common "double runway" issue, or a big hump is experienced at the conjunction between the taxiway and runway:

The reason for existance of the big hump is that the vertical profile of the autogen runway by Navigraph is only a linear interpolation between the elevation of two thresholds, while it is non-linear in real life (the highest point is located at the midway) and all the terraforming for this airport is based on the real life vertical profile.

One day I know the presence of this airport from a magazine, which the airport is called "the most useless airport of the world". I don't agree with it, as it drawn my attention at least, and then I would like to fly there in the sim. Sadly it is not a stock airport, then I found the one made by superspud. I would like to add something on it as a mod after reading real world documents about it but not succeed, so I decided to make my own one.

This airport is somehow similar to the "epic" Madeira Airport, where strong crosswind is usual and the approach is not straight-in for Runway 19 due to vicinity of hilly terrain along the coast. It should be included in the landing challenges of the sim (so it is not "useless", at least for the sim). Both ends of the runway are cliffs, where the start of runway 01 is constructed on embankment, which is quite tedious to reproduce.

There are 3 documented approaches implemented (LDA/RNAV/VOR), where only RNAV 01 approach is straight-in. RNAV and Offset LDA approaches are available for Runway 19. Both of them are not straight-in, which means there is an offset angle between approach path and the extension of runway center line. The offset angle of the LDA approach is less then the RNAV approach, but it doesn't provide vertical guidance (make good use of the TRK/FPA mode if you're flying an Airbus). In contrast, the RNAV approach provides vertical guidance but the offset angle is larger. There is a displaced threshold of 300m at the start of runway 19, so no need to touch down too early. Radar altitude will jump suddently during approach, so keep watching the PAPI is recommended.

There is no SID/STAR for this airport, but you are recommended to fly straight to 3000ft, or fly visually along the coast to the west of the island under VMC before joining the flight path in case of west departure.

There are 3 parking spaces at the apron, 2 of them are suitable for single-aisle jetliners and the remaining one is only for GA aircraft. However aircraft may not follow parking space configurations if there is no other aircraft on it IRL. All the parking spaces are taxi-in taxi-out, which means that no pushback tug is needed although it is present.

Please REMOVE the current installation before each updates, as there may be BREAKING CHANGES to file structure
