VOR approach SMO

I was able to hold 130 kts all the way down. My intent was to pin the
speed and see what kind of descent rate I would get (and need) to pull
it off. I wasn't expecting to get that much without dropping the
spoilers at least 1/4, but I was at idle, which probably isn't
SOP...In all fairness, I've never flown a "real" jet, unless the 737
sim at UAL counts

You're right about the lights...it is a PAPI in FSX.


Out of curiosity, what was your "speed" at 1800 fpm? I thought SMO
had a PAPI on 21 but it is FSX...

For what it's worth, FSX had the threshold being at 0.9 DME.

Sounds about right (maybe a bit long...)
