You mentioned Hong Kong flying the 767. I assume those flights were to/from Kai Tak.
My first flight into Kai Tak was an interesting approach between buildings on a QF 707 . Did you have any memorable moments using this approach ?
Captains rarely gave away an IGS approach when I was flying the 747. The 767, on the other hand, did so many that we just flew them one for one with the FOs. It was never a problem, as long as you'd had a think about it first. Where is the wind from? When am I going to start the turn, and how much bank will I use? When will I stop the turn? Very basic flying, but you didn't have enough space to fix a poor approach...you really needed the basics to be correct.
Whilst Kai Tak was especially interesting, the new airport is not without its challenges. The easternmost runway in particular can have very nasty wind shear.
Sitting on the apron, on a transit, you'd often see some interesting sights. On one occasion, there was 30 knots of downwind down the IGS, which was shifting to 15-20 knots of crosswind on the runway. So, turn very slightly early, use the full 30º angle of bank, a little less power than usual (or leave the auto throttle engaged). Continue the turn through the runway track, until your heading is about 10º beyond it. FO and I had a talk about it, as it was his turn. He did a lovely job. So, now we get to watch. Most were fine, but there were a few saves, with the most common error being rolling out too soon. But three approaches were especially memorable.
1. British Asia (BA's offshoot for Taiwan flights) in a 747-400....went through the centreline, and rolled out quite a bit downwind of the extended centreline. Tries to correct that, and arrives over the runway with the track still not parallel. Drops the left wing in the flare, and whacks #1 on the ground.
2. Thai in an Airbus 310, came in very fast. This aircraft, when on speed had quite a pronounced nose high attitude, but this was nose low. Landed on the nose gear first. Aircraft taxied out about an hour later, so obviously they didn't even look at it.
3. A VC10ski (Ilyushin Il-62). Don't recall the operator. He turned a bit late. Rolled to about 45-50º. Huge engine spool up (you could see the smoke). Rolled out in the correct spot and landed.
