Hardest approach flown so far

.. Having no experience with or data about the Helena IFR procedures, but having experience with the high Sierras and Rockies, I would find it hard to believe the someone would "hit some granite" without being way out of bounds. I'd describe the terrain around Helena as gently rolling, not mountainous. Even the mountains to the west are little more than big hills. Well, you need to look at the charts. It indeed is an open valley with room for a "200 and 1/2" ILS but it has terminal routes over terrain some 5,000 feet higher than the airport. |
