Samos is the island airport with the most notorious landing approaches in Greece. It involves pure and demanding "stick 'n' rudder" hand-flying between mountains, without navigation instruments guidance and with moderate or higher turbulence due to terrain, the FIR border just on the airport’s pattern and tight turns shortly before lining up for the last stage of final approach.

“I have operated for years into some really demanding airports such as Gibraltar, Innsbruck, Madeira, La Palma. But Samos approaches are still at the top of my list as the most challenging and exciting!" - Giorgio La Pira, A380 Pilot (formerly A320 Examiner)

These are only a few of the reasons why 29Palms Scenery Design have decided that this challenging and interesting airport would be the perfect addition to their Greek island series, following Mykonos and Skiathos. This scenery depicts every aspect of its real-world counterpart in great detail using the latest techniques of FS development. Are you ready to test your piloting skills? Let the journey begin!
