I see that my collection has a 'photocopy' of the Instrument Approach Chart for Kai Tak, on the ILS for Rwy 31. This was the approach from the sea, with climb out over the land. This is dated 1996 from the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department. Also another for the approach under discussion on to Rwy 13.

When I was on a project in Hong Kong, I was working near to Stonecutters Island at the international container port and was under the approach for '13' as they headed for the hill. Great fun.

I do not have access to a web site at the moment to display these images, if anyone does, please contact me with a PM and I will send copies so that they can be shown here. Otherwise, I can send them to folks who PM me with the request. That said, I am about to be away from my desk for a few days will not be able to reply immediately.
