: Dave J writes: It's bad form to follow up one's own post, but I thought I would mention that the first film (Airport) ends with a PAR approach. It might be worth it to rent and fast-forward just to see that. I've practiced one in my life with a very bored controller at Travis AFB, if I remember correctly, but it went like the movie, except the controller gave me relative turns (left 5 degree, right 5 degrees) not bearings (left to 285) like in the movie. I've never figured out why the pilots ask for a PAR approach in that movie. Because you're an idiot, that's why. Bertie |
