Toughest Approaches

[Offwidth]

Any comparisons between Alaska and Colorado out there?

A couple I have done at Horizon:

A six, yes six degree glideslope MLS approach into Sun Valley, ID. The Approach is commenced at 15,000, fully configured prior to glideslope intercept at 15,000.

A 4.5 degree MLS approach into Wenatchee, WA. Not particularly difficult, although, if you go missed you must quickly switch to navigate off of the VOR. Then make a 180 and exit the way you came all while inside a deep valley with steep hills on all sides....better be on speed!

try the VOR/DME into Tegucigalpa, MHTG

Quito Equador is fun, the approach isn't too bad, but the missed can be very hairy trying to miss the mountains.

LDA-2 in Juneau AK, down to mins, of course.

You guys fly MLS? as in microvable?

 

[unwashed]

Yes we do, a few of them.

I honestly thought that those were pretty much only millitary.

I guess I'll quit complaining about the MLS questions on the ATP written then.
