For the MilJet and Civilian Pilots amongst us ... Queenstown NZ instrument approach
Spectacular approach to Queenstown in the Sth Island of NZ (also called the Land of the Long White Cloud" for obvious reasons).
Apart from being a spectacular view (scenery in NZ is nothing short of breathtaking), it brings new meaning to the term "have faith in your instruments". This approach is over the lake, the alternative approach (in fine weather) is a terrain following downhill from the Cardrona Pass - it is amazing to see a B737 in what I can only assume is near flight-idle as it follows the valley down to the runway and from the road at the top of the pass, the aircraft is about 500' below road level ... it is a spectacular sight and something special to observe. Enjoy the 4-min video .... A Pilot RB |
