Dangerous Approaches: Paro badge
Part of Master of Dangerous Approaches

Briefing

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?

Criteria

Depart from an airport of your choice, fly to and land at VQPR, your flight distance must be further than 20 NM. Your landing rate must not exceed 200 f/m.
