you could fly it visually and sometimes it is done. but remember it is a 64 ton vehicle moving at close to 200km per hour and you want to stop it on a strip of concrete 1.9km long so using all available aids is prudent

[pilotokoto]

i am glad you enjoy the videos

Nice video pilotokoto. The runway extension has been talked about even before the opening of the airport. Cong. Monico P. got the approval of the President on this. By the way is the tower freq still 118.8 ? Does it have a full ILS meaning both localizer and glideslope with an outer marker? Love the approach lights (compared to the old airport.)

[pilotokoto]

thats good news i just hope they don't make it narrower than the runway like the old bacolod airport. yup 118.8 and full ils rwy03, the approach passes over the old bacolod airport adding a bit of nostalgia....

[pilotokoto]

guys what you are saying may be true, but the video is about that rainbow you see out the windshield... the rain... and landing a vehicle weighing roughly 64tons moving at 255km/hr on a strip of concrete 2kms long. this runway is still a lot better than the old one.

The Mayor of Silay City, Oti is planning to extend the runway by a further 500 meters to attract larger international planes,hopefully they will build a proper taxi way.I personally think the runway is too short at this time, as soon as my flight arrived on 27 January 08 i noticed the PAL plane was screaming on its brakes,so adding to the runway 500 meters would definately make a big difference

[pilotokoto]

I hope the extension wont be like the old airport wherein they made it narrower than the original runway....

I really wish that there is a direct flight from New York to Bacolod/Silay Airport. I really hate passing thru Manila. Who cares about Manila. I really feel safe in Bacolod compare to Manila. Oh i really miss Bacolod City my hometown.
