Baghdad landing part 2

How are the planes encouraged to land at Baghdad now days ?

Here is how. It's called "Corkscrew" approach.

To avoid being knocked out of the sky, pilots employ an old, trusted tactic: the spiral, or corkscrew, landing approach. Once the plane arrives at about 16,000 feet—still safely beyond the range of weapons like shoulder-fired missile—the pilot banks sharply and descends toward the runway in a slow, tight circle, like someone walking down a spiral staircase. During the spiral the crew keeps an eye out for other air traffic, and for anything coming at them from the ground. After several turns, the pilot pulls out of the rotation with careful timing, straightens out, and lands. The whole thing takes roughly the same as a regular approach, but it all takes place overhead of the airport, instead of beginning 20 miles from the runway. Corkscrew is actually a straightforward tactic that uses fairly standard piloting skills.

Enjoy,any questions just ask and please subscribe =)
