Queenstown Airport (NZQN) IFR Procedures v1.0
It’s no need to tell how famous this airport is, but only RNAV-Y 05 approach is present if you fly IFR in the flight planner. When I toggle waypoint display, there are a lot of waypoints defined around the airport so I’m curious for the availability of other instrument approaches, and I found the others in New Zealand AIP. I added 3 instrument approach procedures in this addon:
RNAV(RNP)-Z 23
RNAV(GNSS)-F
RNAV(GNSS)-H
The procedures for RNAV(RNP)-Y and RNAV(RNP)-Z are pretty similar with each other, with only some minor differences in minimum and missed approach profile so I didn’t code both of them. Currently the sim couldn’t distinguish between RNAV(RNP) and RNAV(GNSS) approaches (just like all the ILS are displayed as CATIII in the sim), for those aircraft which are not capable of performing RNP-AR approaches, only RNAV(GNSS)-F or RNAV(GNSS)-H procedures should be used, but they are not allowed to perform at night as there are hilly terrains around the airport. Please read the approach chart from New Zealand AIP for the “8” shaped final circling procedures for these 2 approaches.
This addon should have no conflicts with other Queenstown Airport mods, execpt that these additional IFR approaches are also coded. Of course you don’t need this addon if it is the case.
