    The document discusses a Korean Air 747-400 aircraft approaching Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. It describes the landing procedure as requiring a lot of pilot skill. Specifically, when reaching the medium ILS marker, which is close to a mountain, the pilot must immediately turn right to avoid losing sight of the runway. This turn needs to be performed at a low altitude of 400-600 feet, making it a challenging maneuver that demands great piloting skills.

    Comment about the picture of the

    Korean Air 747-400 approach


    At Kai Tak Hong Kong. China

    Well, that is a very beautiful procedure to be seen by all pilots; at least it


    is for me. It is a 747-400 of Korean Air approaching Kai Tak airport in
    Hong Kong; It is a procedure that demands a lot of skill of the pilot
    because during a landing we have an aid called ILS and in this aid there
    are three markers: an outer marker, medium marker and inner marker
    in the case of Kai Tak airport, the medium marker is close to a mountain
    when the pilot is approaching the medium marker, he immediately must
    turn right so as not to lose the runway axis and all of this takes place at
    low height approximately between 400 and 600 feet. That is the reason
    why the pilot needs a great deal of skills to perform it.
