[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 2516103, member: 9576"] Flying while you can't see during a descent is very routine. Every instrument rated pilot is taught to do it (it's an amazing feeling when you are descending through clouds, trusting only your instruments...then pop out of the clouds perfectly lined up with the runway). The interesting part about that particular approach is that he seems to be in a turn throughout the descent...it doesn't appear he's following a localizer or VOR course, as those are straight lines. He may just be on ATC vectors, but I don't know how forthcoming they'd be giving vectors in mountainous terrain like that. Suppose he could be flying some type of GPS approach. [/QUOTE]
