Hi guys, I´ve just made my 10th. approach or so into San Diego with the famouse LOC 27. Interesting but it gets a bit boring after time. Do you know other approaches like this? I mean no ILS but an LOC and nice terrain or any LDA approaches like Hong Kong here in northern America?

You could try an ILS to runway 01 at Guatemala Aurora, MGGT. Or just do it as a VOR/DME as we had to in the mid-1980s in B767s before the ILS was approved or flight-tested. Beware of "hills" and volcanoes!Colin B

Also, you could try the last 727 hand-fly approach made by United into Chicago Meigs, made in the 1990s (look it up on YouTube).;)

PAJN has an interesting appraoch. Also done well with the freeware Glacier Bay V2 scenery.

Thanks, this one I completely forgot. Had the scenery allready installed but was out of mind. Would be nice to come with an 727-100 from Alaska Airlines. Btw. how does an VOR/DME approach work? They´´re offen mentioned but I have no clue how this works.

Have a look at My link. It will give you a start. Try Google and you can get more. Hal Stoen seems to have done a lot if you want to learn basic IFR and various approach procedures.Colin B

I never tried but I think Aspen is a pretty tough approach.
