Kai Tak - really as spectacular as they say ?
Well...is it ,and if so i would be interested in some interesting sites for good photos(apart from !!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Did anyone out there ever exceed the 47 degree bank by much and if so how much.
Also what is the most tough/difficult airport to land in these days ,that deals with a regular flow of commercial traffic?Is Mexico city ,La gaurdia and National as bad as they say.
Finally ,is there an official list out there
that ranks the top 10 most 'challenging'airports?
cheers.

A 47 degree bank? Hell no!!! 
This is about a 47 degree turn, and rarely, depending upon local wind conditions, would it require more than a 20 degree banked turn.
So the turn from checker to the runway was 47 degrees (is that what you meant?)

why 47?
LOC is at 088track to RWY13. That would make it a 42 degree turn but the actuall degrees you would have to turn would deppend on the wind.
If you were doing this approach would mean (most likely) that the wind was comming from the suuth(ish), so because of crabb the actuall turn would be smaller....?!?!?!?
Only my understanding of the chart-don't shoot me
