World's Challenging Approaches -2 |MHTG|THU 13-04-2017|17:00Z

Postby SHM » Wed Mar 29, 2017 12:05 pm

Hi guys,

First off, Thanks to all the pilots who participated for the first leg of this series of approaches even though it was Christmas eve. Being a first timer in organizing MP events, I didn't know how much would turn up. But you guys didn't disappoint me :D

Although the event went along perfectly with everyone landing safely although we had some go-around moments from 411, but he too landed safely after that.

Though the event went perfectly, it was not something I had imagined it to be. The winds that prevailed then made us opt for runway 26 and everyone went in for a straight-in approach. I wanted to see some circling approach to 08 and which would have made it more challenging. So, this time I've decided that instead of opting for the live weather we shall enter the METAR manually and make the approach more challenging. This will be applicable only if the weather is too easy. Hopefully, everyone agrees to it. After all this tour is about approaches that challenge our skills to the limits ;)

With all that out of the way, I would like to invite each and everyone of you to the second leg of the World's Challenging Approaches on the 13th of April 2017 at 17:00Z

Where is the destination?
Toncontín International Airport (MHTG).

APPROACH

Route Manager File for the approach : Available in the post containing the route.

Charts : http://www.pentekesti.com/sites/default ... s/mhtg.pdf

Approach to be attempted : RNAV 02 Approach (South)

This video explains the approach nicely and I recommend all of you to give it a watch. Only exception is that we would be coming in from the south (Give the charts a look, and if you have any problems post below) :)

Nah!
I only fly real METARs.

I left it to the Anemoi to decide my landing fates.

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

I can't make it. I will be flying RL.

Curiously enough, my departing airport will be SKRG, RL.
