Use of the Innsbruck Airport is restricted to "High Performance" aircraft by Austrian authorities (see the Austro Control link below). The airport lies within a steep East-West valley, requiring non-ICAO standard procedures to approach and depart.

'''Approach From The East:''' ILS Approach RWY 26. Navigate to the Rattenberg NDB (RTT 303) at FL100. Salzburg Maxglan (LOWS) provides a close and suitable departure runway. From overhead RTT, turn to heading 211°, descend to 9600ft and intercept the ILS (111.1). Dial in Absam NDB 313. At Minimum Descent Altitude (overhead the Absam NDB), pilot must be visual or perform the prescribed missed approach. Turn to runway heading when required and land.

'''Approach from the West:''' LLZ/DME Approach into the circuit for a RWY 26 landing. Depart airport Memmingen Allgau (EDJA), navigate to Kempten VOR (KPT 109.6). Overhead KPT, join the 138 radial and navigate to the Kuhtai NDB (KTI 413), at FL130. When LLZ (111.10) is identified (not established), depart the NDB heading 104° not below FL115. At DME 20.4 miles, commence descent, and join the LLZ. Do not proceed below FL105 if not established on LLZ. Observe minimum altitudes on descent, stop descent at 3700ft. If visual, turn final and land, otherwise follow prescribed missed approach.

'''Departure to the East:''' Using Absam NDB (AB 313) and LLZ (OEJ 109.7), depart RWY 08 at max climb. Fly overhead the NDB, establish on the LLZ, to 9500ft.

Steep non-standard climb and descent angles, LLZ offset to runway heading. Try throwing some weather in for good measure.
