@@mikesteffen3378 Ditto. And with one hand tied behind my back. JUST KIDDING ! My three instrument checkride approaches were all very straightforward. But I might try this during my next RedBird simulator session with my CFII. I continue to do sim sessions because it's way to hot where I live to fly right now.
@@JustSayN2O Just remember that the decent from FAF to MAP is steep. You have 5 miles to drop 1900 feet if you want to be at your circling mins on time. at 90 knots I was descending at 800 fpm which will definently catch you off guard if you don't notice it on the briefing. With that in mind its a solid approach to test your abilities Reply
I think it's great you guys explain how to do it raw data on vor/loc. Many professional pilots lack the knowledge to shoot one of these smoothly. Great video
LDA RWY 26L into PHNL has nearly a 40° offset but still has a _"Straight In"_ line of minima that gets you down to 590'. I have done this at night in a Cessna 182. Lots of fun. Especially when the prevailing ENE wind correction puts the runway off your left wingtip on a _"Straight In"_ approach.
If the weather was that bad..... I would fly to burbank and wait for it to clear up. LOL Or just use one of the ILS approaches. That's a cray approach. Why would they keep it alive? Regardless.... thanks for the vid. Very interesting approach to see.
I agree those are fun and exciting approaches to practice for people of nostalgia like us. Chances are that same airport has a GPS with a straight in that the newer pilots would tend to use. Not only that, it afford lower minimums.
Always cool to see my home airport on these videos. Had to do this approach as one of my 3 for my instrument check ride.
Ditto here. Had to do this one partial panel.

@@mtndew2842 TY! Odds are I will have to do that one twice
Most important statement in this video, "with a proper briefing!"
Shot this approach yesterday!

I would love a mountain rating proficiency video! Also great content so far thanks!
I didn't even know this type of approach existed! That looks like it'd be fun to try.
GREAT tutorial, as always. Thanks! !! !!!

Why maintain that approach? So DPEs can terrorize instrument rating applicants!
Does ForeFlight connect with the sim?
Dan, can you look at KFYV, Fayetteville, AR. It has a LDA with a glideslope. Explain to us how it’s an LDA and not a true ILS?
Why would you over fly the airport to start the circle ? Wouldn’t you start the circling once 1.3 or 1.7 miles away from the airport ?
So if I forgot the turn at budde, I will end up in Burbank, this is fun
