ATC
how is going to be ... Here are my six (hundred) pence's.
(sorry for the length)
PARO is definitely special.
→ Mountain APT
→ High Altitude Engines Response
→ APP path not "in-line" with RWYs
→ Very High Surrounding Obstacles
→ (RL) strong adiabatic winds causing severe turbulences
(I have configured my FG this way
)
The risk to eat the Edelweiss with your own teeth is not null !
The best FOES
→ high speed
→ too high
→ too heavy
→ too rushy
With my B703 (very heavy plane) I had nice landings avoiding to have plane's nose lower than the plane's tail.
Descent controlled by thrust lever and Speed brakes.
In the "best" landings I done by some kind of magic, the reverse was set before touchdown !
(that is my small experience - now, you build yours)
Air space needs :
→ only 1 plane at the same time in the valley (bellow FL160)
→ holding pattern at TAKTI FL160/180/200 (@ TAKTI - right turn to 180° - 5 minutes legs)
→ obtain ATC APP clearance before 40 nmi
→ do not descend under FL160 without this clearance
→ add extra fuel for holding pattern at TAKTI @ FL160/180/200
(the pilot approaching before you can have several missed approach)
MISSED APP RWY 15+33
→ keep 328°
→ max 160 kts
→ CLIMB until PRO D9.0
→ RIGHT TURN
→ CLIMB TO VOR-DME PRO
→ RDH 180° to TAKTI until FL160
GO AROUND -
→ follow valley pattern
→ max 160 kts
→ continue as for MISAP
Transition ALTITUDE FL180
Transition FL depend on Meteo Conditions - ask then...
