On this flight we leave behind the island of Honshu for the last time and return to the island of Kyushu, where we joined the home islands so many weeks ago (in the real world, though only a few days have passed in the virtual world).
I plotted a direct course from Ube to the Fukuoka VOR, which is located on a peninsula that sticks out into Hakata Bay, 5 nm north of Fukuoka airport.
About 15 nm from the VOR, I began my descent, clearing the mountains that ring the bay and leveling out at 2,000 ft. This turned out to be just perfect for that distance from the airport, as I found when I tuned in the ILS and found myself centered on the glidescope.
