Xometry KEGE

Featured Replies

I bought Xometry KEGE last week and have flown out of there once and into it once.  I like it when departing.  However, on a flight with the Fenix into KEGE doing the RNAV to 25, I noticed the altitude was messed up.  I was on profile according to the chart but looking at the airport, it brought me in WAY too high.  It is almost like the elevation of the airport was a few thousand feet lower than it should.  Has anyone else noticed this?  I had to go around and then completely ignore the chart in order to get in there.  Just thought i'd see if anyone else experienced this or if it was just me.

Both the LDA RWY 25 and the RNAV (GPS)-D approaches to KEGE have very high minimums due to the surrounding mountainous terrain. The LDA approach has a DA of 8330. while the MDA of the RNAV approach is even higher, 9220. The airport elevation is 6547. So there's nothing wrong with the airport add-on. One just needs to fly the instrument approach to the corresponding minimum and then fly visually from there.

BTW, I couldn't find an RNAV approach to 25 in the Navigraph charts. Also note from the charts that it is going to be necessary to descend visually prior to the missed approach point in order to maintain a stabilized approach. These high altitude approaches to airports in the mountains are challenging for a reason.

KEGE doing the RNAV

RNAV (GPS) D is not a straight-in approach, it is a Circle-to- Land. with some restrictions : 1) Circling to RWY 7 not authorized at night, and 2) Circling south of RWY 7/25 not authorized for CAT C and D at night.

IRL since you have RWY/ terrain in sight ( with enough distance ) , you have to increase your rate of descend in order to intercept your visual glide profile.
