FSX Sitka approach

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing fixed-wing aircraft. First flown in 1955 and still in production, more Cessna 172s have been built than any other aircraft.



Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport (IATA: SIT, ICAO: PASI, FAA LID: SIT) is a public airport owned and operated by the State of Alaska located on Japonski Island in southwestern Sitka, Alaska, U.S.

The airport is named after Sitka's former mayor Rocky Gutierrez. It features a single terminal with a jetway for the sole jet service provider, Alaska Airlines. There is a single runway that juts off Japonski Island as a paved causeway of sorts.

The airport also has hangars for air traffic control, Civil Air Patrol, and private enterprises. Coast Guard Air Station Sitka also has a complex attached to the airport for their helicopters but the installation almost never uses runway space for their operations.

Safety hazards include boulders from the causeway washing onto the runway during storms, high winds because of its exposed location, and large flocks of birds that live very close to the airport.

Deceased tuberculosis patients from the nearby SEARHC/Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital were buried on airport grounds and had to be relocated during construction. That section of the airport is still unofficially called The Mausoleum.

good landing and touchdown but u were far far too high on approach and a bit fast. u were supposed to be doing 65 on final, it looked like u were doing 85/90. apart from that pretty good.
