October 25, 20214 yr If you're looking for a little challenge and some nice hidden scenery, I recommend this approach into Tarija, Bolivia. Tarija is nestled down in a beautiful valley surrounded by a number of mountain ranges - the airport (SLTJ) is situated at 6100' and has a single instrument approach procedure: the VOR C Rwy 13 approach: Randall Rocke

October 26, 20214 yr 😱😱 My best friend is from there, and she never told me about that. I need to talk with her 😛 Jokes aside, what a beautiful scenery. I'll give it a try.

October 26, 20214 yr Neat place, I'll have to fly it. I've done a lot flying in Colombia but don't usually go to Bolivia. Are you using the Bijan seasons vegetation? N Hemisphere fall colors don't seem right for that southern hemisphere location. (?) Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
October 26, 20214 yr Author Yep -that's Bijan's. I thought the same thing you did - the colors seemed out of place for Spring. Bijan and I had a few exchanges about this in one thread and he said that's the way that area of South America is. He then posted a climate/vegetation map that shows the demarcation areas, stating that the northern areas of the SA continent and the southern areas don't all change at the same time in the season. He also said that some areas in SA don't change much at all. Randall Rocke
October 26, 20214 yr Author For all of you that are going to try this - the IAF for that approach requires a 17,000 ft. intercept. The final turn intercepts the VOR radial at 7,300 ft. Randall Rocke
