ISL problem! :S

Recommended Posts

My approach plate for CYCG is a Jeppesen 28Jan05.The localizer at Castelgar brings you in on a relatively terrain free course of 177 degrees.The MAX IAS for approach to the airport is 200 KIAS - be at or under that speed when dropping below 9,000 ft, and only within 10 nm of the airport.At 12.2 miles on the DME you need to be at 8,000 and have clear visibility of the hills and should be able to see the area of the runway when you cross directly over the CG NDB (227.0)You will descend to 5,900 ft in the next 5.7nm and cross approx 500-800 feet over a peak just before the final river valley. (DME 6.5)It is 2.0 nm to the Brilliant waypoint/ YK NDB (269.0) where you must have the runway in sight - 1.3 nm.That is where you start making your visual turn to the left from 177 degrees to 150 degrees to line up visually with the runway.You are still descending at a rate over twice as steeps as a normal ILS approach.The ceiling must be 5,380 ft or higher with 3.0 nm visibility for the LOC approach. The RNAV (GPS) A approach will let you legally land with a ceiling of 4,500.The key is get SLOW and get lined up on the localizer.You may need to fly a visual circuit / pattern or two to descend also to get down to the runway elevation - just remember turns to the west of the runway only.If you want to see a weird localizer - check KASE and the IPKN localizer - it is not used for landing - the backcourse is used only takeoffs and departure. Almsot all landings are on Rwy 15 and takeoffs on Rwy 33 - that includes all jets and high speed aircraft.Once clear of the runway on liftoff turn left on course 270 until the localizer backcourse lines with the preset 300 degrees and then continue to climb at 300 degrees.
