Kyle Communications Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Wow what a great video....he obviously has done that quite a few times
rankamateur Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 No go around or takeoff option on runway 32, and it was a long way to the piano keys.
Patrick Normoyle Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Looks like he touched down in the displaced threshold prior to the beginning of the runway ?

Cosmick Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 was doing a few knots over where the fence would have been
kgwilson Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 There was a History channel doco entitled "Worlds most extreme airports" & it listed the Hillary-Tenzing airport in Nepal as the worst. It is 460 metres long with a 12% gradient at an elevation of 9,200 feet. At the end of 06 is a mountain & at the end of 24 is a 2000 foot dropoff.
barramundi Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 interesting video. no room for error there. but indeed i did notice he landed on the displaced threshold! I'm sure there was a good reason for that. thanks for sharing.
Keenaviator Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Keep the interesting videos coming. Weather's too crap for flying! Laurie 1
Guest ozzie Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Elevation was around 5000ft, possibly a bit warm too. Displaced thresh hold may be for the approach angle/ glide slope for terrain clearance in crappy weather. be pretty easy to clean the gear off on that river bank too
