Another Dangerous Airports - 2.1Mb

[EHM-0079 Simão]

I´ve loved the post from "SirRobert" so i´ve decided to try by myself another challenges...
I went to DAD - Dangerous Airports Database and i´ve choosed some... in this session i will show pics from BIIS, ENHV and LFLJ
Let´s start....

LFLJ - Courchevel (France)

This amazing airport with the courious form of an cross is located on the Alps at more than 6000´of altitude. The FS2004 scenary doens´t gives al perception of airport dificult becouse from the top of 05 to beggin of 23 there´s a declive of 213´!! In FS2004 this doesn´t happens! Pitty...
The big big difficult of this Airport on FS is the length of RW, just +/- 1500´!! It´s really an chalenge considering that i´ve choose Dornier 328 to try this mad airports!!! Other challenge is that taking off from 23 requires a very radical and vertical takeoff like an Space Shuttle!
;D
Let´s see:

Facing the beast!!

I´ve almost touched the mountain!

Vertical climb! Next stop, the moon...

After some turns approaching RW23!! What the hell that trees are doing?!! And just 1500´to land...

Ground...

But the stop was a little bit away from RW! With snow all people  went safe... (With a Cessna i was able to stop on RW )

BIIS - Isafjordur (iceland))

The next stop was on Iceland... This airport has a very beautiful involvence... the only problem is that after takeoff you need to climb hard left or you will crash against the mountain. The approach is also hard becouse of the hard declive that increases plane speed! Here are the pics:

Early morning.... The concrete airport  with hard mountain at enf of RW9!

The left turn... mountain on right... TCAS ALERT!

I love this view!!

The best way to align the RW is to follow the electrical cables!

The land is easy... the RW has 4500´;)

ENHV - Valan, Honningsvag (Norway)

I love this airport... All the surrounding are fabulous and it´s almost like fly on the Ireland. The challenge on ENHV is the approach to RW26 very similar with the very know approach to Madeira Airport (LPMA) with an offset ILS and a strong and hard turn to right almost on the end of the approach becouse the mountain on left.
Other danger is the strong wind... and the constant variations!

After takeoff! All green on the mountain behind!

Nice scene!

If you look well the airport is on top right and i´m following the offset ILS! on left the mountain...

Strong turn to right at the end of approach

Ground!! :>

That´s all for today... Tomorrow i´ll fly more Dangerous Airpots...

Operationally speaking, landing is runway 23 and departures runway 05 at Courchevel. No exceptions. Also, there is scenery available that accurately simulates the uneven runway at Courchevel (the ski jump shape). I don't remember the link right now.

I´ve noticied that... but try to takeoff from RW23 was more challenging... And depart on 05, with FS2004 is almost impossible with this plane becouse Microsoft "planted" a beautiful tree just at the end. :p
If you found the link please tell me!
Safe landings,

Could you show us a pic of Maderia or the last one with the visual ILS thingy?

[EHM-0079 Simão]

I didn´t understand your request... could you be more specific??

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Congrats Simao, for almost all perfect landings. And for the very nice screenshots. Maybe some of these should firt into the main EHM gallery too

Good job.

@Tim i hope this pics help!!

In here you see Madeira Airport on top right, and has you see there´s a mountain in front. To the left side there´s a part of the mountain that makes impossible a direct ILS so this is an CAT approach.
In front you can also see the lightning polls that help aircrafts to do a good right turn.


Performing the turn of 50º ... This part is very dellicate becouse you are at +/- 700´and there are constant wind changes...


After the polles you are just on the RW  seems easy but requires a lot of training to do a good landing on Madeira!


Safe landings,

Does all that come with default FS?

[EHM-0079 Simão]

The lightning poles and all LPMA Airport is part of PPP 4.0 Scenary. It´freeware and you can find it in http://airsim.net/ppp/index.htm
