Jwocky - Jumbolino

oh

Narrow body is a generalization that defines if only 1 aisle thru the center of cabin is available for passengers to occupy.
And Airliner is a generalization for Airlines-operated aircraft. So the Jumbolino qualifies...fully

[SHM]

yep, you're right. Haven't had the morning coffee

Jumbolino downloaded, fuel ordered. Now studying approach plates

Queenstown, lining up with runway :



Few seconds before touchdown :



Touchdown on snowy and icy runway :



Greeting from Queenstown :



There is not VOR QN, but SH on 113.6 MHz in the FG 2017.2.1 nav database.

[SHM]

Nice pictures and Thanks for the report V12.

I'll look into it and release an updated navaid database with it.

[V12]

In some approach plates is VOR SH (Slope Hill), on others QN. Both at 113.6 MHz.
VOR/DME Bravo approach :



VOR/DME C (B too) :

[SHM]

ok. Just checked my navigraph charts, and it says QN too.
Since they're on the same freq and same location it should be fine. (Looks like in the old AIRAC it was SH)

Navaids Nearby :
VOR_DME
QN QUEENSTOWN 113.60 (Same VOR is SH in fg)

[V12]

OK.
Someone should make basic scenery for Queenstown - standard Tower and some building looks like a terminal for better feeling.

I had a look there yesterday, also to ensure terrasync scenery availability later. Approaches from both sides (32 and 260 degrees) worked out just fine, when starting descent from fl 100 MSA at about 20 miles from the VOR. It's a bit like descending from Rattenberg to Innsbruck. Whereby the 260 degrees gives you a bit more dramatic scenery.

Kind regards, Vincent
