Learn to Fly One of Switzerland's Most Challenging ILS Approaches | Bern, Switzerland

Welcome to IslandSimPilot Academy Brief & Fly #4. In this free live flight training class, we'll learn how to brief and fly the ILS or LOC RWY 14 into Bern, Switzerland (LSZB), one of Europe's most interesting and technically demanding instrument approaches. Surrounded by terrain and featuring a non-standard 4.0° glidepath, Bern offers a unique opportunity to learn how instrument procedures are adapted for mountainous environments. We'll break down the chart step-by-step, discuss the approach design, review terrain and missed approach considerations, and then fly the procedure in Microsoft Flight Simulator using real-world IFR techniques. Whether you're a flight simulation enthusiast, a student pilot, an instrument pilot, or simply curious about how real-world instrument approaches work, this class is designed to help you build practical IFR knowledge that you can immediately apply in your own flying. 🌐 Flight training resources, upcoming classes, performance guides, and more: https://www.islandsimpilot.com Support IslandSimPilot and help fund free flight training classes, aviation education, performance testing, and flight simulation content:   / islandsimpilot   Get a discount on Navigraph Charts and SimBrief: https://navigraph.com/promo/ISLANDSIM...
