Once the crown jewel of Asian aviation, Kai Tak was a marvel of 20th-century airport design and audacity. Wedged between mountains and dense urban sprawl, its infamous curved approach onto RWY 13 tested even the most experienced captains. For decades, it served as the gateway to the East for royalty, executives, and adventurers. Since its closure in 1998, the checkerboard still looms as a monument to an era of aviation gone by.
Aircraft Suitability: Fully airliner-capable (A320/737 and larger).
Extra Challenge: Land on RWY 13 using the visual checkerboard approach, flight directors off and no autopilot on final.
