A difficult back country approach revisited, 2013-U of I's Taylor ranch
This year's Islander early morning flight into University of Idaho's Taylor ranch. Flying with McCall (Idaho) Aviation. Canyon walls next to the wing tips, sun reflecting off of Big creek, and a wet grass runway. Who needs coffee for this? I sure didn't. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Oh yeah. Wadda do about getting a wind check? Call ahead? Cross or down wind landings must be an extra bonus.
Easy answer. The wind almost always blows down the canyon. It is usually calm in the morning, with a stiff tailwind for landings in the afternoon. Best to fly to Taylor in the mornings. The ranch emails weather information to McCall Aviation or Arnold Aviation in the mornings when flights are scheduled.
The River Visual to Runway 19 at KDCA is a lot of fun, but this looks to be a real kick in the pants.
Climb out after a missed approach must be fun. I guess you just power up and go for the blue stuff. Brown stuff - bad!
Oh, I bet you meant dirt. I was thinking of other brown stuff.
me too.lol
Actually, as tight as it is, where are you going to go if you miss?

Well, from the video, that is what I would do. I just wondered if I was missing something. LOL
