While finding a Flight for Amsterdam I would rather fly to Samos which is nearby Izmir, Turkey and it’s part of Greece which means it has nice scenery AND it’s a real one with Transavia (underrated airline btw)
Besides wanting to Samos I didn’t actually know the visual approach since I rather do a straight STAR to the runway until knowing there mountains between it
I made this approach multiple times. It’s a really hard approach. Everything goes really fast and you need to follow the charts very precise. In general, almost all Greek airports are kind of special to approach.
But in my opinion that’s the cool thing in Greece. Every approach is different which is perfect to learn how to fly an aircraft manually without using the autopilot all the time.
Especially at Aegean Virtual we’re flying often to Samos and are training to fly a visual approach, manual VOR navigation and DME ARC‘s.
That looks like a really cool flight! You can’t go wrong with Greek airports normally and this topic shows it very well. Thanks for sharing, very well done!
