Heading into the valley...


Recommended Posts

Innsbruck is well know for the challenges it brings to both real world and virtual pilots.

 

It has been a long time since I flew into LOWI so thought I would give it a go last weekend.

 

Rather than upload a lot of screenshots I thought I would stitch some together to present the flight as it unfolded.

Preparation for departure from T2 are well underway and soon we start to taxi to runway 23R.  It is a LISTO departure which requires a turn very shortly after takeoff but not below 750ft.

Not much to see here....no really there isn't...the valley had low cloud and close terrain.....not usually a good combination.

After a short cruise we begin the approach manoeuvring the aircraft very carefully, keeping a eye on the charts to make sure we are on track and a watchful gaze on the terrain.

As we descend through the cloud the airfield comes into view.  It is a slightly off-set approach so with a gentle push on the rudder we line up with the runway.  A nice short taxi and we squeeze in alongside other visitors from across Europe.
 

 

Hope you like the screenshots.
