Tour of the hardest approaches in Europe

[Alessio Prencia]

I’d love to fly all these approaches together. Maybe we can do a worldtour type of thing? Like we all fly together once a week and we do all these approaches one by one

We've had the ENSD RNP 08 already. Not really difficult, but with stunning terrain and you'll see only a tiny amount of RWY at the MAP:

ENSD RNP 08 https://chartfox.org/ENSD#ENSD_81833 (Max. approach CAT B/120kts Vref, 4.5° descent)

An interesting SID out of there: ENSD LOGSA1A https://chartfox.org/ENSD#ENSD_56090

 

Maybe you want to file the short flight "ENSD – LOGSA1A LOGSA DCT TIKBO – ENOV" to get to the next beauty:

ENOV LOC-B https://chartfox.org/ENOV#ENOV_56466 (Max. approach CAT B/120kts Vref, 4.0° descent, 60° offset to landing course)

- I have a question here: Since there is no straight-in minimums given, does it mean circling is mandatory and "CIRCLING N OF AD ONLY" would mean A is not ok?

A circle or some other prolongment of the approach path is necessary to lose altitude.

I think this will only apply to pilots landing on runway 24. For runway 06 it is still a direct turn from the LOC-axis to the runway-axis.
