Kathmandu Info Request
Hello Gents,
Never been to Nepal, going there next week to stay 9 days. Anybody has any experience with Kathmandu at all? Airport, approach, handling, fuel, hotels, bars, whatever...
Your contribution is appreciated....
(Before you ask: yes, we have done the required sim training for Kathmandu already...)
Tks

We'll be going there in a G5....
Actually, Kathamndu is only just above 4000' ft in elevation, but it's the whopping hills around it that make the challenge... so the MISAP procedure 1-enginge needs to be flown just so..

It's a fun approach. I used to operate a Falcon 200 in there regularly...probably 6 times a year. We never had a sim to practise in unfortunately.
For those who hae neer seen the IAL plates for VNKT
VNKT 02 VOR/DME
VNKT TAC Chart
Sorry about the scaling on the scans..they take a while to download...but that's life
Very steep approach and the ATCOs, more often than not, hold you high before clearing you or the approach so configure early.
