Cool

... and then there was the visual step down to runway 13. This took you to the south of Lantau Island and provided an excellent view of Hong Kong - especially at night. Cathay did not do visual step downs at night as someone had cocked it up at some time and they were not allowed. But Dragonair pilots were much more experienced with approaches to Kai Tak and were allowed to do night visual stepdowns.
