Piece of cake as long as it is in the box's database and all points and altitudes verified.
AP on and arm the approach mode, sit back and monitor, click off autopilot at DA and land. :D

Indeed, most who try it seem to manage OK.

A real eyeopener is to do an RNP approach like this one in a sim or A/C in VMC and see how close the terrain really is.

Just supposing we wanted to add an Queenstown IFR approach to our ATR72 simulator what might we need to add? I assume the sim has basic equipment for the type.

Meanwhile we have a front-office video a fair weather flight to Queenstown,

Australis is NZ's penal colony. We send our young people there to be trained in criminal ways and when they graduate Australia sends them back.

Who was the NZ prime minister who said that the constant flow of young NZers to Australia increased the average IQ of both countries?

It seems that very little training is required by us as it appears they take to the profession with gusto!

2% of Australian prison population are NZ born and NZ born make up 2.3% of total Australian population so it seems that Kiwis in Australia are more law abiding than Australians. =))

So not so much IFR in the sense of Instrument Flight Rules, or I Follow Roads, as a case of "I Flout the Rules!" ;)))

Sadly I lost a friend IFR from Queenstown some years back, but that was on another continent.

Plettenburg Bay was closed to commercial traffic in 2021.

Exactly John, been saying this for years now, they get trained in Kiwi enclaves of criminal activity, and very often they get caught because they get around in cars with big "Silverfern" stickers om their rear windscreens....we'd keep them here if they were smart enough to become citizens.....but they choose not to become citizens...and so we send them back to you.....

Even then they are less criminal than the wider Australian population.
