wisemanp 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Having downloaded the 9Dragons Kai Tak, and consequently fallen in love for it (it's a man thing...), i thought i would share some shots of my development on and learning of the infamous IGS 13 'Checkerboard' approach. China Eastern A321 over the CH VOR, heading on 270 radial for waypoint 'Golf', the new Chek Lap Kok airport visible Closing in on the checkerboard, and being stunned by the scenery! In a BA 763 now... As seen from the checkerboard hill Eeek! Slowing down! Thanks for viewing, part two to follow in the next few days! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Great shots, Phil. Years ago I read a great article about that approach, written by an airline pilot who was routinely flying there. He said that when he was flying the approach in bad weather and the co-pilot was looking, he'd judge the turn at the checkerboards by waiting until he could see beads of sweat on the co-pilot's forehead in his peripheral vision.

reef 3 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Am envious, it will take too much effort with all my custom AI in seperate BGL,s to swap to Kai Tak. Great shots though and cudos for getting a plane down on 13 Heres a decent vid on youtube. (Not Mine!!) If your at all thinking of getting Kai Tak, this vid will make you do it now :mrhappy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAOv7C0IrrM steve Link to post Share on other sites
