Amazing Approach into Queenstown, New Zealand.

wow.. amazing. :eagerness::congratulatory:

Thats an interesting approach and something I wish we had here in the US. Its called a GPS RNP approach and allows for complex turns in the instrument approach to allow for better terrain clearance or to simply allow an airport that could not normally have your standard straight in approach like Queenstown.

On a side note and a shameless plug, here is a video I put together.
