I saw that house. Must be a very lonely but noise resistant person living there.  :-?

Here's how my approach worked out.

Lots of NDB navigation from BIKF.
Descent went fine, few clouds, no icing trouble.
Altitude at RE NDB was fine and I caught the localizer with the HDG select as I think the AP is a bit sluggish at times.
Descending on the localizer track, hazard beacon came up, waited for that 258° bearing and started the visual part.
Good weather, so what could possibly happen?

FO Erm, looks pretty tight going into that valley.
Captain Don't worry, I got this.
FO Ok.

Captain Flaps 40, we'll stick to Vref plus 10.

FO Erm, it still looks pretty tight.
Captain I said, I got this!

Later, a bit more into the valley.

Captain Geezus, it looks pretty tight!  :o You should have told me!
FO  :-?

Captain It was an honour flying with you.
FO What!?! What do you mean 'was'?

-End of transcript-  :-/


It looks easy on the videos, but I had to keep at least 140kts and the turn was a turn only FSX allows for.  :D
Nice rw video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv_c6vA8DXE
