Rangoon in 1975
Hi,
What instrument approach(es) did Rangoon have in 1975?
I have been hearing tall tales from my dad about a return after an engine failure on departure of a Burma airways B727 in 1975, in foggy weather. He insists the crew were not making a published approach, rather repeatedly dipping to low level, to see if they could find the runway (what he gathered as a non pilot from his seat in economy...) He claims it was only Rangoon's flat topography that kept them alive that day!
This seems improbable to me. Does anyone on here have experience flying there in that period?
He finally departed later that day on a British Airways VC10.
Cheers!
