VIDEO Landing the Connie at Narsarsuaq, Greenland

Post by WB_FlashOver »

One of my favorite airports to land at in Flight Simulators. It's always a challenge. Narsarsuaq airport was IFR when we departed Keflavik but transitioned to VFR at around 100NM out. We had low ceiling and high terrain. What a great approach. This was an NDB pattern and approach. Something went wrong with the pressurization and I could not get cabin altitude to set below 998 feet so we had some irritated tads on landing when equalizing pressure.

All in all it was a great flight aside from 100+knt cross winds and severe turbulence on departure and again on approach. This was my first landing at Narsarsuaq in the Connie as the weather has always been uncooperative but I've made four landings here in the B-17, two in the P-51 and one in the Comanche.

Now on to Burbank, California for an aircraft overhaul.
