I have flown into FNC RWY05 before in real life some years back, on the left hand side of the aircraft. We could practically wave to people in their mountainside houses!

Ah of course, I forgot. I might book myself on a flight to see it for real. May try Innsbruck again next week - I did it a few months ago but my final turn wasn't as tight as it should have been.
