Re: I-05 Visual approach confusion

Good news everyone!

I did the I-05 again last night, and passed! :-)

I'm simply more used to flying props and more nimble...

Thanks for the feedback (and the drawing)! I guess I lack in experience when it comes to visual airliner approaches, hitting the airbrakes to 180kt and turning left in order to almost zig-zag to build distance felt a bit like something I as a passenger wouldn't enjoy. :-) The long right turn feels a...

Hi everyone! I tried on the I5 this weekend and made a terrible job at it. Haven't flown an airliner in a while, but I figured, I've been running SID's and Stars on Vatsim for years, so how hard can it be? ;-) So, I filed the VNY2.DAG.KEPEC3 and entered it into my FMS in my A320, failed to double ch...
