Hi everyone!

I have to say that recently I started doing more and more flights. The best part of every single one of my flights is approach/landing. That's why I often choose an airport with a interesting/difficult approach. However, all the ones that I know, I ahve already visited many times. Therefore, now, I am looking for more.

So, in this topic, I would like you, flightsimmers, to give some ideas about where it is worth flying (approach-wise).

Here you have all the ones that I know (not in any particular order):

TNCM Princess Juliana

LPMA Madeira

SEQU Quito

PADU Dutch Harbor

MHTG Tegucigalpa

VHHX Kai Tak

LSGS Sion

LOWI Innsbruck

SBRJ Santos Dumont

SLLP El Alto

VNLK Lukla

LFLJ Courchevel

This is all I can think of for now. I'll add some more if can think of any. Please remember that they don't have to be taken from 'world's most dangerous approaches' list (e.g. SLLP isn't on any of this kind of lists, but is still fun to land at) and they don't have to be the ones that everyone knows of (e.g. TNCM).

I hope to see this topic going for some time, so that we, flightsimmers, can take advantage of others' experience and get to know some interesting places.

You have a nice list there! I am assuming yuo are using add-on scenery otherwise they are not worth a !

I would add the scenery below by Aerosoft and Fly Tampa!



Juancho E. Irausquin Airport ( TNCS) Saba

Barra Airport (Scottish Gaelic: Port-adhair Bharraigh) ( EGPR)   

Mountain Air
Burnsville, North Carolina-- there is no ICAO as far as I know!

I like going into Orange County (KSNA) short runway to land a 757 on. It's even better as a pax in person! The takeoff is even exciting with the extraneous noise abatement proc. that have to be done.

Make sure to check out Doherty's Difficult and Dangerous Approaches. But I agree with franthree - don't try any with the default scenery, you'll be disappointed!

Here are some of my favorites:

ENSG - Sogndal in Norway
LQSA - Sarajevo (ILS app)
LXGB - Gibraltar
TFFF - Martinique, Le Lamentin

Trondheim Airport, Værnes Norway ENVA---

-Barcelona El Prat Airport  LEBL

-Aerosoft again! Nice if unspectacular approaches

I'll have to add more to this later, but I figured I'd throw out PKMJ (Marshall Islands Atol) for now.  There is some good FSX scenery for it, as well.

Paro Airport, Bhutan (VQPR)

That is really quite a challenging approach, especially in an A321.
