Dangerous Approaches: Paro

Official achievement authored by Clorix.

Paro (VQPR), located in mountainous Bhutan, is well known for its dangerous approaches. Although Paro is a high-altitude airport, it still lies deep in a narrow valley, so terrain is the main threat, especially in low-visibility conditions. The published RNP approaches will only get you so far down. After the missed approach point, it's up to you to navigate yourself (and your passengers) to the runway.

According to Wikipedia, fewer than two dozen pilots are certified to operate into or out of Paro. Can you add your name to that list?
