Chambery Aix-les-Bains airport is relatively small commercial airport in the western side of the French Alps just before the thick mountainous region starts rising.
Briefing:
Chambery LFLB airport has a steep ILS approach with at 4,46* degrees glide and is situated in between mountains and just south of a lakeshore (Hint: frequent FOG with winds calm).
The 769 ft. elevation airport has a 2.020m long runway surrounded closely by rising terrain in all quadrants confining aircraft movements in a small area and/or necessitating good climb out gradients.
Only instrument approach available is an 4.5 degrees glide ILS approach for Runway 18 from the north above the lake
Read very carefully the ILS approach charts (link further down) and MISSED APPROACH procedure before executing the approach.
