Mexican approaches, and Aspen/Telluride seem to be massively popular, IME.those Mexican plates are "classic" at interviews...
If by "weird" you mean "perfect" and "right," then yes!Those jeppesen approach plates are weird looking
I know of an approach that has five NDBs. I can't post it right now from my iPhone but I will try to remember to post it later.Mexican approaches, and Aspen/Telluride seem to be massively popular, IME.

I wouldn't exactly call this one "simple", especially if you had one ADF receiver and you had to actually use it as opposed to using the FMS. Is is in Russia, though. Good guess.Please do!
I have been shown some of the approaches which have been (I believe still are) common in Russia, which are dual NDB approaches, flown in planes with two ADFs displaying on one indicator. One NDB off each end of the runway, on runway alignment. Keep the needles aligned with each other, you're aligned with the runway. Stupid simple - I like it.
That looks like a fun one. I love the figure 8 missed.

Jeppesen defines this as:Re the Saltillo plate posted, from a practical point of view, just how does one use the "TDZ Elev: 159 MB" note shown below the full missed approach instructions?

What if you are at an airport with a very high elevation, and your altimeter doesnt accept such a low setting?
Yes thats the theory. you are adjusting your QNH setting to the QNF (field) so that it reads zero unpon landing. Although I have been to saltillo before I have never seen anyone use QNF procedures. I hear that there are countrys that still use it. If your altimeter will not do it then you are most likely not doing QNF procedures. Maybe someone with experience with operating QNF can be more helpful.so if I have an altimeter that uses millibars instead of inches of mercury, I take 150 Mb, subract it from 1013.25 and get 863.25 millibars, and set that in my altimeter window once level before the glide slope. Now my altimeter will read zero at the tdze?

Indeed - not sure why anybody would pay so much for a cartoon version of an approach plateThose jeppesen approach plates are weird looking

Try this...If you're looking for a cartoon version... I'd be interested to see what the Russian version of the ILS or 2 NDB Rwy 34R chart looks like.
Actually we stopped twice, once in each direction. One of the interesting things to me is that even though we were doing the approach on our own, they knew exactly where we were and kept us informed. "Approaching papa romeo" then "approaching hotel yankee". The arrival from both the northeast and southwest has you starting out at PR. We did this entirely on the FMS and were happy that we didn't need to use the NDBs.Mari, was that the place you stopped on your way to Tokyo? Quite the approach, for sure!

I think you would learn that I'm just like everyone else, only in a slightly bigger airplane....Mari, I sure wish fate would allow me to watch you working some time. I have this funny feeling I might learn something.
