FS2000 Kai Tak
FS2000 Kai Tak: Kai Tak was Hong Kong’s primary airfield for more than 73 years and its role as an airport was terminated on the night of July 5, 1998. Kai Tak was well known for its infamous “checkerboard approach.” Because of high terrain surrounding the airport, a straight-in ILS approach to runway 13 could not be done. Instead, aircraft landing on runway 13 had to use the Instrument Guidance System (IGS) where just before landing, the aircraft had to make a final 47 degree right turn to line up with the runway. Much of the approach is done over the densely populated area and on short finals, aircraft get extremely close to the apartment blocks.. 375K. Thomas Kwong
