This post is so cool.

If you ever have to land at RWY 13 for the first time as co-pilot, do you get any prep other than simulator? Will you get to execute the approach and turn. Wah, my mind boggles at the coolness of it all.

Oh no, its such a landmark that I didn't realise it's not in use anymore. No wonder I felt it funny why you used the past tense. :x What a pity.

Yeah, what a pity indeed!  I don't know what kind of special training you have to shoot the IGS approach other than sim sessions.  Maybe you have to fly in a few times as PM before they let you do PF, and you need to be specially checked out by a check captain before you can fly PF into Kai Tak.

I'm itching to try it for real (I mean, as real as I can get), so Flight Experience, here I come!  Now if only they still have it in the B777 full motion sim (I heard that they might, so fingers crossed!)

Yeah cool as it is, I think most people's balls will shrink when they actually try it for the first time.

Can try in computer flight sim. :x
