Visual Approach Procedures for Beijing

Reading updates in the AIP can be quite a pastime.

I noticed that Beijing Capital International Airport (ZBAA) will implement a Visual Approach Procedure starting August 1st. It ends at 24:00 on September 3rd; I am not sure what event it is intended for. Regardless, it is a new learning point, so here is a simple note.

Looking at the chart, the Visual Approach uses RWY01. The conditions are: PAPI operating normally ILS operating Radar operating normally Huairou VOR/DME (HUR), Guanzhuang VOR (PEK), Beijing/Capital DME (INJ) operating normally Ceiling 900 meters, Visibility 10km or more

The route starts from Huairou VOR at an altitude of 1500 meters, Heading 188°. To Guanzhuang VOR 5km, altitude 900 meters. Guanzhuang VOR 1km, altitude 600 meters, Airspeed below 150 knots. If the ground is not visible, immediately turn right and execute Missed Approach. Intercept Guanzhuang VOR Heading 250°. At Guanzhuang VOR 3.5km, altitude 300 meters. If visual reference for landing is still not acquired, execute Missed Approach.

The missed approach procedure is to maintain 300 meters altitude and turn right. Fly Heading 359° along the Runway direction to INJ 2km, then turn right to Heading 30° and Climb. Contact ATC at 600 meters altitude.
