Charts for Kai Tak

Use Little Nav Map. It will show lateral depiction of SID/STAR and tabular chart of vertical fixes.

I flew the famous IGS RWY 13 last night using LNM to cross check. It was really cool to follow it down, then look hard for the Checkerboard Hill Visual Cue while keeping one eye out of for the Middle Marker indicator which tells you it’s time to turn to 107M for the final.

And if you miss all that, the apartment building sized Rabbit Light Towers curving towards the runway are your final cue. How Kowloon City managed to sleep with those immense hi-viz flashers going on all day and night, I will never know.

It’s a big drop from the FAF, so be on the ball and arm APR well before because you’ll be inside the ILS cone before the FAF - it’s something like 4500’ to 610’ before the turn to Final in one leg. But the turn to Final is manual, 'natch.
