These two dynamic airports promise exciting challenges and unforgettable scenery for pilots ready to elevate their skills.
Your journey begins at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport, one of the busiest hubs in Asia, offering a smooth departure experience with modern facilities and efficient ATC coordination.

The approach into RKPK is as breathtaking as it is rewarding for those who master it.

Bring your A-game, because controllers will expect you to be sharp with procedures and quick with readbacks. If you're ready for a realistic, high-traffic challenge, this is the event for you. The skies are waiting—are you up for it?
