Notes
Another route inspired by the list of most difficult approaches, this is Mexico City to Toncontin, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. It's a VOR/DME approach in which you approach the airport from the northwest, turn south and do a descending 180° turn to approach the runway. I'd suggest you google and print out the approach plates for MHTG, as everything happens very quickly.
If you don't want to print out the plates, here it is in a nutshell: Once you hit the TNT VOR, turn to 198° until 7 DME. Turn right to 243° for a minute, then turn left to 063°, then turn left again to intercept the TNT VOR on 018°. TNT VOR should find you at 9,000 feet. Descend to 8,000, and hold that altitude through the turn. Back at 7 DME, begin your descent, which is fairly steep: 6,700 at 5 DME down to the runway at 3,294.
Like I said, everything happens very quickly, so have your nav equipment set up before you begin your landing.
