M-Sauce Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I love this NZSI addon, can't wait for the FTX NZQN standalone airport to make it even more stunning. Here are some shots approaching NZQN in the NGX. The terminal procedures file is something I am working on to get the RNP procedures in and out of NZQN. Anyways, here are a few screenshots showing the approach transitioning from the West and then snaking in over the river into R23. 4Ks viz with low overcast clouds, weather is right at minimums for this approach. Would be quite exiting seeing the mountains so close on final! Enjoy!

The runway is not the longest, so AB 3 or MAX is good and make sure not to float much. 2012-1-25_2-17-5-372 by M-Sauce, on Flickr Touching down... http:// 2012-1-25_2-18-25-907 by M-Sauce, on Flickr Some senior FTX rampers chilling out while their junior co-workers do all the work... http:// 2012-1-25_2-27-7-999 by M-Sauce, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTenner Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Great shots Especially the last one is very good. It is indeed a very good and (often said) very well performing scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael63 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Last 2 screenshots are fantastic. Looks like a very well flown approach and landing, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberpilot Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Wonderful sequence and very instructive for those of us who've flown this approach in the NGX. It's always a challenge whatever the weather. That said, I find the 05 approach even more demanding as it requires a high rate of descent on the final legs. Can you show us how it's done M-Sauce?!
