BillD22 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Here's a flight from Miami International (KMIA) down to Luis Munoz Airport (TJSJ) in San Juan Puerto Rico in a Bombardier Global 6000 business jet. The airplane is an FSX conversion to MSFS. Here's our flight plan. Two hours en route at a cruise altitude of 51,000 feet. En route weather is good but TJSJ is reporting 700-foot scattered 8000-foot overcast in rain showers. Lined up for takeoff on Runway 27 and wheels up. Turning to the east and climbing out over the Miami downtown and beachfront. Halfway there cruising at FL510 with the Turks and Caicos islands off to the right. The Puerto Rican coastline comes into view as we descend for the approach. The airport is under the gray cumulus clouds and rain showers to the left. Cleared and lined up for the ILS Runway 8 approach. About to go IMC. The airport is in the midst of a heavy tropical downpour. Just as we're about to go missed the runway comes in sight to the right.

BillD22 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) A quick correction lines us up with the runway. Flare, touchdown, and rollout with spoilers and thrust reversers slowing us down on the wet runway. Taxi to the ramp. Welcome to rainy San Juan.
