Look up Hong Kong. There is, or used to be, a unique approach.
vince norris They moved to a better airport a few years back. I sure hope someone saved one of the old approach plates. It would be a shame if that were lost to history. vince norris |

crazy approaches
Roger, A DME arc to a final approach course isn't unusual. What's unusual
about the approach I mentioned is that the arc is the final approach course right to the runway! Check out the approach at this link.

I want to be able to make my students fly all sorts of weird/unusual/difficult approaches, but the only approaches that I am familiar with are the ones around here. There was this one my instructor gave me when I was getting my instrument which had a DME arc to the MAP, then the missed approach procedure was a climbing right turn to a VOR radial to track, then a hold at an intersection nonstandard turns. I have no idea which approach it was, but it was very crazy. What are some interesting approaches I can throw at my students? Sounds like that one-of-a-kind DME ARC approach somewhere in Maryland. As I recall, TVC (Traverse City MI) has/had a DME ARC to the ILS with a climbing left turn on the missed to the VOR 5 mi south. Not weird, just not common around here Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

crazy approaches
One of the guys I taught as an instrument student handed me
the Sept 25, 2006 issue of Aviation Week and told me to check out the instrument approach to Linzhi, China on page 54. This has to be one of the most unusual approaches ever. The entire flight path looks like it was drawn with a twisted French Curve, including the missed approach track. It basically follows a river canyon through the Himalayan mountains. The airport elevation is 9670', the IAP altitude is 25,200' and the missed approach hold point altitude is 19,700' feet. There is an additional engine-out missed a pproach hold point to cover the event that you are unable to climb to 19,700' for the MAHP hold. This point ends with a hold at a point 145 nm from the airport. A dual-redundant avionics suite is required, including 2 flight management systems, 2 GPS receivers, 2 flight director displays, etc, etc, etc. Not your average instrument approach. Here's a link to the article: http://www.aviationnow.com/avnow/sea...aw092506p1.xml "Sam Spade" wrote in message news:8AXWg.32359$tO5.28698@fed1read10... vincent p. norris wrote: Look up Hong Kong.

Those are showing up around here. They're called RNAV (RNP) IAPs with Special Aircrew and Aircraft Authorization Required (SAAAR). There are perhaps a dozen of them published by the FAA, with 25-50 per year on the schedule to be added. Check PSP Runway 13R. |

I'd not seen an approach like that in the US. Thanks
for pointing me to the Palm Spring 13R RNAV plate. Ronnie "Sam Spade" wrote in message ...
