Default Interesting approach

Just received this link. Video apparently produced by the contractor.

The new Linzhi airport is at an elevation of 9,670 feet, and due to the
surrounding mountainous terrain, could not be served by ground-based
navaids. Therefore, the Chinese government commissioned the development of
an RNP approach, and the one that was developed has a winding approach path
95 miles long, with 108 way points. Watch this video of the first jet
approach into the airport a month ago:
