I just flew it. Full approach with wx of 6000 ovr and 5 miles in an MD80. Very interesting!

I just flew it too. Fair weather.
Mike, good news, read below:
Aircraft flew 767, touch down speed 130 kts, 30 flaps. Right on the center line (swear to God), stopped in the middle of the runway.
Piece of cake.
Ok, let's do SAT 1500Z to suit Mike and Paul Deans.
Thanks.

Naresh,
Heck, I can't put the Cessna 172 reliably on the center line at MSP; you've got me hopelessly outclassed. But, I'll show up Saturday in something, I'm thinking of the FSX ultralight. I should be able to get that stopped in 6000'
Mike
P.S. I can make 1500Z on Sat; I can't make 1800Z. I can make either on Sun.

On second thought: I gave it a try in clear weather with the Level D 763 and you're right, it is a piece of cake - maybe easier than the C172. I forgot how good the systems on that A/C are. Of course, that was a straight-in approach, well below the approved glide slope that would be required in IMC and without having to fly a VFR racetrack around the strip to set her down. We'll see how it goes under those conditions.

Ok, gents, Sat 1500Z then. I will update the events calendar too.
Mike, I knew you could do it.
I tried with 6000 ovr, 5 m vis, it was a hoot. I lost track of VOR on approach trying to visually locate the runway, but made it safely on the runway.
