Glass Cockpit is a bit of an old term for flight instruments
presented on a ' glass' video--screen or picture-tube.
The newest presentation is on a LCD-screen, even the stand-by flight-instruments work this way. (it saves a lot of weight/heat and... maintenance/time)
A friend of ours "Hi Mark" has his first landing there this week, he's had to pass sim test before being allowed to land there. He's also said its pretty exciting stuff.
Innsbruck is in a valley between high mountains. Obviously this needs commercial pilots to be trained as they fly in relatively fast jets. In fact they woulden't even try landing there if the visual sight would turn into a purely instrument guided landing... (or the adrenaline level will rise)
Innsbruck has a pretty narrow approach. What's more, there sometimes is a southern wind accelerated by a mountain valley. This wind can suddenly hit you like a hammer from the side.
Because it's in a valley with high mountains on each side, you have to use a step-wise descent, there are I think about 7 different step-downs in altitude, and you cannot bust the minimums. Once in the valley, the approach localiser is offset, so you have to turn to make a visual landing.
Backtrack's right. The three "stacked" lights are ARM, UNLOCK, and DEPLOY lights for the thrust reversers. The smaller lights are for speed brakes, and a HYDR PRESS light comes on whenever hydraulic components are placing a demand on the hydraulic system.
The lights illuminated directly after touchdown are master warning lights. Depending on the warning they are red, yellow or green. Obviously these lights indicate the spoliler (brake) and engine-thrust reverse. Handy to know...
Yes. I believe all but the Citation mustang have thrust reverse. I think thrust reverse is a requirement for an aircraft with a certain approach speed. The Citation mustang lands at airspeeds similar to some high performance twins and hence doesn't need it. I could be wrong though.
Great vis mate thanks so much, i know its not the same but i just did the same flight in FSX, flying a learjet 45. He sounds like a handy friennd to have lol, Thanks again.
Perhaps, a C-550B, but surely a Cessna Citation.

This Cessna Citation use a folding paddle just behind each engine, the airstream deflects outwards (not forward).

Heard of "six lights"? Thats what you get when the thrust reversers are deployed on citations.

When the plane touchs the ground, some lights appear in the panel. What these lights are for??

Reverser Thrust lights, probably.
