JohnL 13 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 The approach to this touch-and-go is full of opportunities for the unwary to become geography, especially if they haven't said their prayers while passing Lourdes. To make it slightly easier, there are visual approach maps for LFCB at https://fly.rocketroute.com/plates/adminview/LFCB_VAC.pdf?cmd=pdf&docid-400000000103645&icao=LFCB Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks John, hopefully it will help someone stay safe. I wasn't able to get to your site, takes a long time to load and when it stops I get a blank page. Link to post Share on other sites
Dean33 29 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 John's link to map on Rocketroute above didn't work for me pre-flight either - sadly In retrospect it was like hurtling off the top of Blackpool Pleasure Beach's 'Big One' and trying to land neatly on the Prom 1000 feet below. Do-able but very hairy and totally irresponsible. So to help those following behind once I was back on the ground I searched further for the charts. Irritatingly I found one within the Dauntless Sim Plates App I already had on my phone / iPad! Elsewhere I found images linked below which should give you the feel of the approach. https://www.flickr.com/photos/olaborda/538460182/ Bon chance! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
