Looking for some "cool" instrument approaches in the SE

Hmm. Picking an IFR approach for its scenic beauty. I've heard "get your head out of the cockpit" but never "get your dam head back in the cockpit." LOL

you could do the back course at KABY

RNAV to 26 at KFTY goes over midtown Atlanta

Then the RNAV to 17 KAVL, its pretty scenic

I find the approach into KRHP to be a bear if you dont get slowed down in time. Its not towered but worth trying.

The Visual 3 at KHXD could be fun,

I like the Visual 3 at HXD. IFR, I follow rivers. Lol

Yea, my "flying club" gets grumpy if we go to NTAs. Haha. I also think we might be a little fast for that Copter VOR. If I read that plate right, it says to slow to 70kts on final. We have lots of flap, but not that much.

Wait, is that no NTAs for just shooting instrument approaches or is that for all flying?

Pretty much all flying. There are like 3 on the approved list, but that's mostly so we can land there on the weekend after they close. if we need to.

PAR at NPA. Check out the museum, spend the night at the lodge and fly out the next day. Love Pensacola.

I can vouch for KAVL and KTRI. The view is awesome into AVL and the ILS/LOC for 23 at TRI should get you vectored right over the speedway (at least for me they did) with a great view of the mountains. These were actually two of the stops on my long XC for my instrument (not that I looked up to see out the window or anything....)
