This is a very interesting approach into an airstrip called Tapini in Papua New Guinea.
The strip is a valley surrounded by mountains. You must fly very close to the side f the valley and use a goat track on your right side to just your angle of descent then turn 90 degrees onto final approach.
Once you start your descent into the valley you are committed to land. The goat track on the right side is referred to as "The Tapini ILS" (Instrument Landing System).
