lionwing 71 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) 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. er] 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. Edited September 5, 2017 by lionwing 3 Link to post Share on other sites

lionwing 71 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thank you for for the replies everyone. I made a much less complex flight yesterday from Valencia to Palermo. No complicated approaches...just a cruise across the Med on a late Summers evening! Link to post Share on other sites
