Hey IF community, I hope that everyone’s doing well.
So I’ve been looking around for difficult approaches and I saw Paro Intl. Airport which seemed very interesting.
After watching several videos about landing at this airport, I felt that I was ready and that it would be a “Piece of Cake”. But it kinda wasnt😢
So an hour ago I hopped onto an A320 and I spawned at Guwahati Airport, filed my flight plan, taxiied to Runway 20 and away I went.
As I got close to my TOD, I noticed how hectic the mountains were, but fear not I know what to do.
As I went lower I could now see the airport and I was inbound for Runway 33.
But wait this approach is quite awkward I seemed to be oddly too high, so I used the forward-slip method to lose some Altitude and all went well. I landed but it was not very buttery.
In conclusion Paro Intl. Airport is a great airport, I advise flying there. Its a great way to practice your Mountainous (If I can say it like that) approaches.
Pretty sure power idle, nose down (probably even spoilers deployed) to quickly loose altitude while not increasing speed (or at least not increasing speed by too much).
