Funchal / Madeira (- Santa Cruz) (FNC / LPMA)

Has anyone ever flown into this airport in FS2002?  It's the airport where you're kind of landing on a bridge like structure.

It doesn't look much like the real one but it was a fun little flight.

I found that out too after a 9 hour flight in an A330.  It wasn't that easy to get into because you had to hug up against the side of the mountain and there was a drop off at each end of the runway.  I found it most difficult to take off with my tanks full.  I had to empty a lot out get enough lift.  That A330 has great rnage though!
