Speaking of Moscow (SVO), can someone tell me if it has an ILS ?
The reason I ask is that I made a number of trips there last year and the final approaches were somewhat different to what I am used to as a passenger - rather than a relatively smooth descent, it was usually engines power down, descend a bit, engines power up, level for a bit, engines off again etc. all the way to the rwy. In fact they were more like my own student pilot approaches
(no offence to the pilots involved - I'm sure there's a good reason
).
Why else might such an approach have been made ?
Regards,
V.
