Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2014 11:23 pmI hate your graphics card *pouty sulk*
Great shots. BTW you wouldn't happen to know the Radio Decision Height for Auckland would you???

Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2014 11:41 pmGreat shots terry, obviously, the approach is a 3 mile final and you have appeared to have made it a bit too far from the runway threshold and a bit too high as well. BTW Great!

my approach was fine, dunno what your on about
Those shots are amazing! Very jealous of your setup there!
Have to agree with zk though, something's not right about the approach, and my 2 cents would be that you're on about a 5 degree glideslope. If you were on the 3 degree profile, you should have a rate of descent of around 765fpm at that Groundspeed, not 1900fpm, and be sitting around 1100' feet at 3.5 miles. That is of course if you are flying the ILS and not a visual.
Either way awesome shots mate! Have a go at flying some of the Australian approaches and STAR's, great fun! Nice aircraft too, the Airbus X.

Nothing, it takes too damn good a shot, which is why I hate it lol Think I need to let a hungry badger attack mine

I was on about the approach, after several years of planespotting in the 23L approach path and in the airport in real life, most domestic aircraft coming from the south and the north do a 3 mile (4.8 km) final approach and turn over the suburban areas of South Auckland for the finals for 23L, even the altitude should be around 900ft-1300ft and the descent rate to be 700fpm-800fpm.
Even the area you turned for the finals is the area where only the long-distance, Pacific and Trans-Tasman International flights turn for the longer finals along with domestic flights coming from the east, which means that your approach is fine, but with some inconsistencies like the ones I mentioned above.

Really gives ya a fuzzy feeling when you can use AIP sheets , come to think any chart ... makes for a lot of fun and satisfaction when ya pop out off the cloud and runway is directly in front of ya, sweet screens

Your talking about the shortened STAR the DAVEE 3 Charlie, or the PEPPE 3 Charlie for the RNAV Yankee approach or the visual approach via Waiuku then TOMAS.
For the HN5A that was the most correct approach to doQUOTEGreat shots. BTW you wouldn't happen to know the Radio Decision Height for Auckland would you???[/quote]
For 23L CAT1 is 200ft AGL, CAT2 is 100ft AGL and CAT3B is 0

Thankyou - finally someone who knows what they're on about, And Zain I dont see you posting pics on here, ok maybe I was a tad high but big deal!! instead of questioning others shots, stealing peoples scenery and editing it why dont you actually post some for yourself, for all we know you barely even fly on your sim!
Didn't notice that you used the Hamilton 5 Alpha approach, well it was good. Was my brain gone like

Really??? the whole title of the post says HN5A next time read first, comment after

Love it, you feel good after it happens
I reckon the NZ 320 looks better in these screens that it does in real life
On a side note, I've been on vectors for the 05R ILS in a light twin and had an airbus on a closer RNAV approach pass right underneath me. Really cool to witness, wish I'd had a camera in hand!
