Greybeard, indeed good character building stuff

We go to KTM probably 4 or 5 times a year, we also fly occasionally the NPAs at Padang, Bandung and a few other places scattered around South East Asia.

From memory(I deliberately make no attempt to commit these things to memory) we fly the KTM VOR/DME on a 400'/nm profile, configured in the Falcon up to, but not including landing flap. This gives about 1200'/min at 170KTAS and cuts no steps. The inbound leg at KTM is the easy part, it's the missed approach that scares the crap out of me
