Boeing 747 Cockpit View - Hong Kong Kai Tak IGS13
The instrument guidance system approach to Hong Kong is pretty amazing. The crew flies the glideslope towards the checkerboard on the hill and then makes a right turn at low altitude for a visual approach to the runway.
There are all kinds of houses and building underneath the approach path, and sometimes wind and rain.
You can hear the crew call flaps 30, Vref plus ten, and disconnect the autopilot in anticipation of the turn to the runway. They also inhibit the below glideslope alert because as they turn they will get below the beam a bit and don't need the alert. As the airplane gets close to flare and then touches down you hear the automated "sixty", "thirty" and "ten" radio altitude callouts.
I've been lucky to have been an observer in a 747 cockpit a few times on this approach.
It really makes you appreciate pilots.
Note - This approach is no longer in use since Kai Tak Airport was replaced by the Chek Lap Kok Airport on July 6, 1998.
