EuroHarmony Management want to take advantage of the increasing availability of Required Navigational Performance (RNP) procedures at many more challenging airports around the globe. The procedures are designed to take advantage of the higher precision available to pilots using their Flight Management Computers and result in less diversions during low visibility weather, safer approaches in terrain-challenged regions and lower fuel burn. We have decided to challenge our intrepid EuroCargo Division pilots to be the first group to test out their ability to utilise these modern approach procedures and have chosen a range of Europe's most difficult airports for this operational trial. You will need to check your approach charts frequently and make sure you are familiar with the FMC (or GPS) system you will be using – check the Forum for guidance on this. We recommend flying with real world weather to increase the realism and challenge as these approaches are best completed with restricted visibility. If you succeed at all these airports you will be first in line for special procedure training once we adopt RNP across the airline! Our first leg is from our EuroCargo main Hub at Amsterdam to the well known steep approach at London City airport – precision is essential here in poor visibility due to the close proximity of so many tall buildings, cranes and telecommunications masts.
Flight Details
Your next flight takes you out of London City to Chambery in the French Alps with mountains rising very close by on either side of the steep approach path to runway 18. If you need to go missed, the procedure is truly hair-raising!
Flight Details
From Chambery you fly east for the infamous approach into Innsbruck in the Swiss Alps. Surrounded by steeply rising mountains Innsbruck is a classic approach challenge particularly in a jet! Of course our Bae 146 is well suited to this type of flying. Make sure you keep to the altitudes shown on the Localizer approach chart, particularly in poor weather.
Flight Details
From Innsbruck you need to head south to Calvi on the north-western coast of Corsica. There is difficult terrain immediately south of the airport so come in from the north, over the sea. Watch out for hills and obstacles either side of the approach path to the Localizer for runway 18.
Flight Details
From Calvi you fly west to Pamplona in northern Spain, which sits on a plain between several high peaks. There is an ILS available but you should really try the VOR approach to runway 33 which requires a visual 60 degree left turn after passing the VOR to line up for finals.
Flight Details
Leaving Pamplona you depart eastwards, overflying Italy en route towards Tivat in Montenegro. This airport is on the coast with mountains inland and high ground complicating the approach paths to the south and west of the runway. The Localizer 32 chart will keep you busy and the NDB approach to runway 14 is to be avoided unless the weather is absolutely clear!
Flight Details
Your next leg takes you northwards across central Europe to Tromso in northern Norway. Don’t get distracted by the beautiful fjord scenery, the ILS approaches are steep here from both directions with plenty of island peaks to give you a headache if you aren’t paying attention!
Flight Details
From Tromso you fly back south to Samos in Greece. This rocky island airport is sandwiched between two sets of high peaks and requires a 90 degree turn to finals from your VOR or NDB approach course with turbulence expected due to the terrain. Keep your speed low if the skies aren’t clear or you won’t make the turn!
Flight Details
Your penultimate flight is from Samos all the way northwards to Svalbard Airport, Longyear – the northernmost airport in the world with public scheduled flights. There is an ILS for runway 10 but you should try the LOC 28 approach if possible which gives you a much nearer view of the scenery before your 16 degree offset turn to finals. Remember your freight Jumbo needs plenty of wing clearance!
Flight Details
Your final leg takes you from Norway all the way southwest to a classic jewel in the realm of approaches: Funchal in Madeira. The high ground that rises swiftly to the north and west of the runway ensures that any approach in poor visibility will keep you wide awake! The only VOR approach aid is some way from the field so you will need to line up visually for finals. Watch your speed and height on this approach or you may get uncomfortably close to the terrain. If you have successfully completed all these flights in IMC then you can truly count yourself as a master of the art of modern instrument approaches. Well done Captain!
