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.
