And thanks nice video, ugly little canyon and crossing highway on the approach though.

It can be tricky if the controllers leave you high and drop you in late. At that point, it's all about managing the energy.

But that's like saying: Measure twice, cut once.

It's kinda obvious.

Interesting. What were you flying.

Beautiful country is also unforgiving country under IFR. Check out the Innsbruck plate as an example.

Let me know where you end up...Got lots of Medevac time!!!!

I_FLY_LOW · 06-12-2012, 01:19 PM

Guess I'm going to have to dust off my gaming pc, and hook it up to the 55", and do some serious flying, then.

That's probably more pixels than a level D simulator !!!

I seem to do okay with the Lear jet. Does somebody here know what the approach speed should be for a Lear jet?

chazbird · 06-12-2012, 06:57 PM

Roughly 140-125KIAS , depending on weight and what Lear, typically Lear 35A

Klay · 06-12-2012, 06:59 PM

Thanks. I seem to be coming in at around 120 or 130, with the plane heavy from just going around the pattern at the airport after taking off.

chazbird · 06-12-2012, 07:01 PM

Lear 60 is vref is 132KIAS with 2 crew, 800 pounds of people, and landing fuel (diversion up to 200nm + 45 mins). Higher altitude airports, while not changing indicated approach speeds is another factor.

chazbird · 06-12-2012, 07:13 PM

Add 10 kts to the 132 ref speed,, place yourself one dot high on the VASI, add 10 kts tailwind and see what happens.

Klay · 06-12-2012, 07:48 PM

I haven't figured out my flight simulator well enough to add tailwind. Sometimes I'll change the weather settings to "severe thunderstorm" and try to land.
