Time for something different around here for a change, LOL! About to try my manhood by trying to land my 777 at Kai Tak, I've been watching to much YouTube, now I think I'm tough enough to try the RWY 13 approach  :-/ ! I have never tried it in any aircraft this will be my first,and I'm going to use my 777! Anyone who has done it with CS777, I could use your advice ;D! I'm going to try Saturday, so I need advice from everyone till then!! ;D

Fun approach, but makes you work. A decent computer helps. Don't be afraid to go around. Turning off auto-coordination can be helpful at the flare. Have the proper landing configuration, speed and power set before the final approach bar which is right before the checkerboard. Start banking just before the final approach bar goes under the nose. Keep your eyes on the VASI and your speed as you make the turn. Good luck.

I've landed the CS777 there several times. Try to time it so that the fireworks display happens during the approach (FlyTampa).

I remember landing at Kai Tak several times as a kid and watching the planes land during layovers. A friend of mine flew 747s into Kai Tak for years. He jokes that "you fly toward the checkerboard until you can't stand it anymore, and then turn." I've also been at the new Hong Kong airport. It is nice and has much higher capacity, but not nearly the personality of Kai Tak.
