    Default Here's a series of shots and a challenge for all you 737 pilots...:-)

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON May-25-02 AT 03:25PM (EDT)[/font][p]...After trying forever to get it right, I've finally nailed the infamously dangerous (and quite difficult) Dutch Harbor/Unalaska approach...and here I am doing it...!!!!

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...6e0f85c27c.jpg

    Having just flown by, I am preparing to turn...

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...800f8ce05a.jpg

    This shows just how close we come to some of these mountains...

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...8f0f92a8e6.jpg

    I just liked the way this shot looked...

    Turning...

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...b70fb70c84.jpg

    Heh - overturned a bit...I suck, remember...:-)

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...c80fc553ff.jpg

    Gear coming - flaps 25...throttles around 70%...the -200 needs all the power it can get!

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...dd0fd487fd.jpg

    Rolling out...and just about aligned with the runway...

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...f60fe7dc7a.jpg

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...161003c3ba.jpg

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...2310081a57.jpg

    Throttles back and FLARE! Full reverse...brake!

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...2f10125b54.jpg

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...3e102ecd45.jpg

    ...When we land here we keep the engines in reverse until we stop...otherwise a very unpleasant fate awaits you!

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...4e104016e3.jpg

    Oh, yeah...we have PLENTY of runway left...:-lol

    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...5b1048b651.jpg

    Now - your challenge. Try the PADU approach!

    The requirements are:

    -You must be flying a 737-200 of your choice. No -300, -400, -500, or any NG's.

    -You are allowed to use a HUD. ASA's 732's do have this...I haven't gotten around to installing it on mine yet...

    -You can just take off and circle. Or you could take off from Anchorage and fly there...

    -You can fly in any weather. ASA's pilots only do it in decent visiblity. This is because, guess what, it's visual! Your ILS is the VASI and the DUT NDB ( 283.0 KHz ).

    -NO AP! It won't do you any good anyway...I may note!

    -Have fun...:-)

    Here's your approach plate:

    1.) We design for reality, not for idealism.
    Thus, you will not see virtual cabins on our aircraft. You can not see inside the real thing anyway, unless you are looking into the sun. You will find virtual cockpits but they will not be visible from outside for the same reason.
    2.) We design for people with real computers. Thusly, we will not waste polygons on superfluous parts. We will use a texture when there is no noticeable difference between it and a group of performance wasting parts. We will model our aircraft efficiently. If you do not like it, too bad.
    3.) We will give you the latest features, but we WILL NOT sacrifice visual accuracy to implement them. Accuracy comes before eye candy.[/font size]

    What is says is, fly over the airport on a heading of 346 magnetic, at 3700' turn to 301, hold for a bit, then maintain 1700' and turn to 126, hold for a minute, and turn to 166, you should be aligned with the runway. From there descend and follow the VASI.

    Looks like you had fun Erick - nice shots!

    However, I'm not much of a 737 pilot so I think I'll give it a miss ... well I certainly would miss! :-lol

    Cheers,

    I nailed it pretty good too! I was a teeny bit rough with the plane, but not that rough, everything pretty smooth, had plenty of runway left for takeoff and landing.

    Takeoff from PADU
    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...52541594bc.jpg

    Going around to come back at the airport
    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...7154430559.jpg

    Almost lined up, came in slightly to the right but got realigned quickly.

    Descending
    http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/Use...c5546ca767.jpg

    Touchdown, just a teeny bit short, but most likely nothing wouldve happened anyway.

    Right where I stopped

    Look how much runway I had left!
