LOWI Innsbruck Approach and Landing

Approach and landing at Innsbruck (LOWI) using the LLZ/DME east approach for runway 26, and visual circling to runway 08.

Landing at LOWI is quite interesting. The LLZ/DME (or LOC/DME) east approach for runway 26 starts at the RTT (Rattenberg) NDB, 26 nm from LOWI. Leaving RTT on a heading of 210 degrees, descend to 9500 feet MSL and intercept the OEV localizer at 21 nm DME. At 18.2 DME, start the descent with the localizer, which has a 5 degree offset from the runway 26 centerline. Check your distance and altitude at 16, 14, 12, 10, 8 nm DME. At the AB (Absam) NDB 6.3 nm DME (4400 feet MSL), continue visually. Expect BARO minimums between 3900-4400 feet depending on you category and maximum climb gradient. If you are landing on runway 26, just continue straight ahead. If you like challenges, do the visual circling for runway 08. At the AB NDB, turn left to a heading 230 degrees, descend to 3700 feet, and fly towards the INN NDB. Before you reach the mountains :), turn right to a heading of 265 degrees, and fly this heading until OEV 3.2 nm DME (you will find power lines below you, heading the same direction). Turn right for a very short base, start descending, align yourself with the runway centerline and land.
In Innsbruck, it doesn't matter if you're a bit high, it's much worse if you're too low!

how do you fly the DME approaches? - which radio do you use and which autopilot features? - is it the same as the ILS procedure? - or do you have to do it manually?

@bulkocrew Q1: safely :) Q2: The VOR/DME Q3: No, usually manually. It's more complicated, I suggest you some reading on app procedures.

Sounds like an interesting approach, do you have the approach plate for it?

[rennes6]

I had the original, but now I only have a version for simulation.

Is this an add-on scenery for Austria? If it is , which one is it?

[rennes6]

German Airports (GAP), volume 1.

OMG Nice scenery- I bet your flying X-Plane 9

Nice landing. This is a dangerous approach. It's similar to LYTV ndb/dme rwy 14. Check that out.

By the way, you should use some payware plane, default ones are dull. But if you used it because of framerates then its a different story :)

@rennes6 haha yer it sounds complicated - i will search for some tutorials mate thanks - (Q. how do you fly DME approaches? A. safely) haha that answer made me laugh!!!

[BlackTwister999]

beautiful view :D

incorrect approach
