Thanks De_flieger. I know it takes you guys years of studying and training, but does this seem right?
With the KEEWI 8 approach, no matter where you're coming from, you'll fly to either KONDA, CARBA .. etc ZANEY, and from there, to SUNNY (Unless ZANEY or LOCKA)... then you're off to KEEWI. And that's the transition. Any of those, to KEEWI.
Then you're off to either SUBRY or BASIL, and that would be dependent on traffic maybe? (Out to SUBRY will be further than BASIL), or your preference?
Then from BASIL... to KATAKA, if you wanted a shorter final? Or else, stay on 215 until you intercepting the ILS (Is there one), or else... just aim for the runway when it looks straight?
It's pretty incredible how it works, and what's even more amazing to me is the precision it's done. In FR24, you touch one plane on approach, and see it's path, and behind it, a plane following, exactly on the same line. It's pretty amazing. A computer might be doing a lot of the work - but it's still pretty impressive.
