Well.. I just landed at Dodge City Regional in MFS 2020. Diamond 40-NG.  IFR from the east.. about 130 miles or so. I didnt keep track of time but it took a while.. most of the trip was at about 110 indicated. Enroute I flew at about 10k feet .  The view between the cloud layers was awesome. I had to dodge an ugly cloud (red on the nexrad) about half way there .   I flew VOR to VOR (radio nav) . for the approach I chose the ils rw14 dme arc from EARPP . I used the Autopilot via heading mode  and DME off the DDC vor for the ARC.  I came around and, back on nav mode, flew the ILS south east , in and out of rain. armed approach and it took me perfectly down the glide slope once intercepted. I cancelled IFR (with the built in atc)  and made ctaf calls the rest of the way.  

The cloud bottoms were well over minimums, just doing the approach for practice/enjoyment.  I flew the last 500 feet in by hand and (if i may say so myself)  touched down beautifully.

 

It was very cool.

And people complain they can't fly IFR because GPS is broken 🙂 That how's it done! Go steam!

Now go to Martin State Airport outside of Baltimore and fly that and report back 🙂    Good stuff

I will even help you out a little here 

 

 

Oh wow!  I had to look at the plate  for a minute to see where the runway was . (not the large inset but the actual runway) .. that looks  like a fun approach.  You have to do your  own descent , and the obstructions at the sides of the arc  is probably why the minimums are about 900 feet agl ... but, at least that gives you time to configure (I actually kept within a 1/3ish mile of the arc dme @ dodge city but this arc takes you right to the runway.

 

Nice one.. I'll put it on my todo 😉
