Greenland Landing. BGKK

Featured Replies

I decided to do a different flight by flying into a 3900 feet runway and the lowest possible weight. The runway elected by TOPCAT would have been at 28knt tailwind during landing. When i calculated the speeds, it came back red and i ended up using the opposite runway with a 28knt headwind. Anyway the landing was cool and quick with maximum braking. FUN

Note that TOPCAT doesn't actually choose the runway. You need to select the one that is most suitable for your operations.

Max tailwind component would be 15 knots anyway, even 10 on the older generatiom NG'sSean De Maere

Anyway it was a fun approach and everyone should try a fun apprach from time to time, rather than sticking to the usual all the time.

I agree. Fun approaches can be fun. The most recent fun approach I did was the RNAV(RNP) into 13R at KPSP. The runway may be long, but it's an interesting approach and both times I've done it there has been a nice 15+ knot crosswind off the mountains to the west. That will make any circling approach fun, to say the least. I think Alaska and WestJet both fly there regularly from various locations.
