Miller I believe Rocky Mountain airways has the steepest ILS, well actually MLS, in the world. It is 7(?) degrees! It is also surrounded by mountains. Not only do their pilots need a type rating in their aircraft, DH-7's, but you need a type rating for the airport. It was in an article in a recent FLYING magazine. Unfortunatly for thrill seekers it is a private airport and if you fly in they make you take the plane apart and put on a truck to get it out. I will see if I can find the article to double check the facts. Steve Ludlum {decvax ! cca | yale | ihnp4 | cbosgd}!ima!stevel
