One of the world's most difficult approaches
This is footage of an A320 making one of the world's most difficult approaches. Approach into this airport in Bhutan is visual flight rules only. (youtu.be) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think when you get into the story, it says there are only 8 pilots in the world certified for this airport, and besides the approach, you only got 6500" so not only do you have to make a good approach, you had better kiss the marks; not much room for error here.
I still think Lukla is worse.
Lukla cannot take aircraft of this size only twotters and D228
And they can have it..lol
only think worse than Kai Tak is that they ain't no checkerboard to call on that last turn.lol
I think there was a board about half way up the hill that they flew to right before the last right hand turn.
lol. I must have missed that
PAN AMERICAN PILOTS MADE THAT LOOK EASY EVERY TIME....
I MISS THAT CHECKERBOARD!
I MISS THAT CHECKERBOARD!
PAN AMERICAN PILOTS DID THAT ONE WITH GRACE
I REMEMBER WATCHING THE WINGS FLEXING ON THE 707 AS THEY TURNED AWAY FROM THAT MOUNTAIN ARTWORK! RAIN AND/OR SHINE
MEMORIES!

Bruce, I can agree with you. Lots of us used to( and I wasn't Pan Am), but you can watch some of the you tube stuff that is still up and a lot of the newer generation weren't near that graceful.lol Even trying to be graceful didn't eliminate the pucker factor if there was a decent crosswind though. It was challenging with a straight in, let alone having to crab a little.lol
