Singapore Seletar Visual Approach Runway 03

Visual approach on runway 03 in Singapore Seletar.

Seletar is a business airport in Singapore with a runway of 1836m (6024 feet) with a challenging approach for runway 03, almost a traffic circuit pattern.

The constraints of not penetrating the Sembawar control zone, the presence of several noise sensitive areas plus the tiny space to maneuver make this approach one of the most beautiful and unique one in the world, with a 180° turn directly from downwind to final with a continous descent at a vertical speed of about 1400 ft/min.

At the end you will hear me thanking my Captain several times: reason is that this was my first approach ever in Singapore of this type and I had to fight all my fears and apply all the knowledge I have of the aircraft to make a succesfull and safe approach. I wouldn't have made it without his support and this was a milestone in my, still short, aviation career.
