In this thread you will find every information you need for RWY13 arrival at Kai Tak, as well as departures from other side which also includes sharp turns!
1.Arrivals
You should include the following fixes in your arrival:
DO NOT intercept IGS course directly from the north
You may find that all arrivals to RWY13 end at CH VOR. That’s where the approach begins:
2.Approach:
Hard to follow? Don’t worry, here’s a nice little .fpl file for you:
VHHX IGS RWY13 APP.fpl (4.5 KB)
It includes every altitude restriction as well as DA at HKMM1: 675ft (OCL is 660ft AGL)
You can use VNAV for vertical guidance until HKMM1, and after that you can execute the turn if all goes well!
For lateral guidance, it’s suggested that you cross GOLF at or below 180kt or you may overshoot the turn.
3. Departures from RWY31
Congratulations! You have landed at Kai Tak and is now preparing for the return flight. Coincidentally, the wind directions changed and now RWY31 is in use. This made arrivals much easier:
All Arrivals to RWY31 should include fixes WISKY LIMA after arrlvals listed in part 1 and then follow ILS course
But how about the departures? To avoid the huge mountain at upwind, you’ll need to make a sharp left turn after takeoff.
Here’s another .fpl file for you to follow:
VHHX RWY31 INIT CLB.fpl (1.7 KB)
For those who want to manually fly the initial climb (requires some VOR navigation knowledge), you should turn left direct SC NDB, then intercept CH VOR radial 031 inbound (track 211)
After that you can follow the transition you want:
Congratulations! You have successfully done a round trip to Kai Tak. See you next time!
Note:
- Some procedures are simplified as defining a fix by VOR radial and distance in IF is extremely hard…
- All charts can be found here. Please mods don’t close this like a flash this is NOT Jeppesen chart
- Special thanks to @AdamCallow 's great tool, the procedures can’t be made without it!
- CH VOR is not visible but still exist in IF. To find it you can enter “CHALI CH” and then delete CHALI. It’s better to use the procedure provided for best experience.
