July 27, 200421 yr Hi,I find that runway 19 (108.50) is totally out of line, have anyof you found this too and if so has there been a correction thatI have missed. I would appreciate an indication if others havealso got this fault unless there is something wrong with my FS9system. Please confirm and advise if possible.Thank youJohn
July 27, 200421 yr Okay I have now read previous posts on the subject of this ILSand am now happy that all is okay. thanks anywayJohn
July 27, 200421 yr Actually, that's accurate. The LDA/DME runway 19 approach at Reagan Washington National is offset and points up the Potomac River to the northwest. There is restricted airspace a couple of miles north of the airport, directly in line with runway 01/19; the airspace over the White House, National Mall, Capitol, Naval Observatory (the Vice-President's residence), etc., is a restricted area from the ground up to 18,000 feet. It's a no-fly zone, so they have to offset the approach to avoid it.All approaches to KDCA 19 (the LDA/DME and the River Visual) are flown down the Potomac on a roughly 145-degree heading until just north of the airport, where a hard right turn has to be made to line up with the runway. It's one of the trickier approaches in the country. Lewis "Moose" GregoryColumbia, South CarolinaDVA 1427/Solent 644 Lewis "Moose" Gregory Durham, North Carolina
