Hong Kong Cheung Chau approach

[Bergerie1]

Can anyone give me link to the approach chart for the old (pre IGS) Cheung Chau ADF approach to RW 13? As I remember it one had to fly over the NDB and descend to around 1200ft. Does anyone remember the decision height on that approach?

Thanks wieesso, very helpful. But does any one have a scan of, or a link to, an AERAD chart for this approach circa 1965?

Outside chance I may be able to help, but it won't be an Aerad;)

Yes please Alan, that would be a great help!

Awfully sorry, Bergerie1, but my source at Jepp says no hope.

I had hoped that he, being a bit of a rat pack, might have had something in his collection, but if anything, I guess it would have had to have been the last issue rather than earlier. Pity really, because I recall we issued a black oversize chart for the night VFR procedure, with beacons and high points in yellow and red, probably one of the most expensive approach charts Jepp ever produced.

What is more, Honk Kong was charted by the Denver office, and would not have been retained historically in FRA.
