Hi,I'm putting together a contest and am looking for the most challenging approaches out there. What I'm really looking for are challenging non-precision approach approaches. A good example is the Burlington (KBTV) VOR RWY1 appoach. But any approach will do. Any suggestions?Thanks,Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180

How about this?Martin State VOR/DME RWY 15 approachhttp://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5139/96...MTNVORDME15.jpgand you can find a few more here.http://aviationmentor.blogspot.com/2006_11...or_archive.htmlManny

Here's another...CASTLEGAR NDB BCASTLEGAR BRITISH COLUMBIA ( CYCG )Mountainous terrain all quadrants....Cross the CG NDB @ 8000' 12.2 DME field ELEV is 1624'...you do the math :-)They have an RNAV (GPS) approach also, yeah that would be my choice.cheersGreghttp://www.fs2crew.com/linepilot.jpg

The two craziest approaches I know of are into Courchevel in the french alps and Lukla, Nepal, deep in the monsoon half of the himalayas.Neither has any electronic guidance that I'm aware of, so you may not be interested, but both are extremely short runways (sloped in real life) embedded into berms in the sides of very tall mountains. Both are at high altitude, over 6000 feet, and neither has a missed approach escape route once you cross the threshold. Unless you have a harrier, you make the runway, or you eat dirt. Fun! :)

Hi Thomas; To keep you from reinventing the wheel, so to speak, may I suggestthat you check out "Dougherty's Dangerous and Difficult Approaches" found here in the AVSIM Library. Might save you some work if they're close to what your looking for.

Hi Denny,Could you possibly post a link for "Dougherty's Dangerous and Difficult Approaches" as i'm having problems finding it in the Avsim Library, it's probably something i'm doing wrong:-zhelp

Si; Sorry...my bad...misspelled. Here is the filename for a compilationof vol's 1 thru 63. By Michael Doherty, compiled by Phillip Wilson.doherty_s_difficult_&_dangerous_approaches_vol_01_thru_63.zipHere's the link.library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004misc&DLID=57029 it's located in the FS2004 misc section...the individual volumes are thereas well.

Hi Denny.Thankyou for the link, i found it by copying & pasting this line, doherty_s_difficult_&_dangerous_approaches_vol_01_thru_63.zip What a brilliant file. I can see myself being occupied for quite some time now & i can only hope for an update for FSX.Once again Thankyou.
