Title: Re: Landing at Quito Post by buedi on Jul 21st, 2011 at 5:28am
I´m with you here Brucito. The reason why I have time flying now is because I´m on holiday. Otherwise: 2 or 3 hours on a weekend now and then :-(
Probably you already know that, but here´s something which could help and what I´ve seen in your Videos what could be improved. Whether you have a plane which captures the ILS or not: On most of the Runways around the world you have the 4 PAPI lights (Precision Approach Indicator??). Whether they are in line or in a pair of 2 depends on in which part of the world you are flying. On both of your flights, they are all white, which means that you are far too hight in your approach (4 red means that you are far too low, for the rest: Just do the math). Since you can see them from very far away, try to get 2 red and 2 white lights. That means, that you have the correct glide path. Most of the time I end up with a rate of descent of around 500 feet/minute when I try to stay in 2 red / 2 white on approach until I touch the runway. I guess that´s the 3° Glideslope most runways are using if there are not obstacles in the way. |
