Simviation Forums

Since most of us will never land at these, for real anyway, I thought best to post in this forum. Might want to try these in the flight sim.

The comments are [for a change] decent and worth reading also. The Yahoo homepage headlines reads "World's scariest airports for landing".

Other suggestions welcome.

Thanks for the link, Apex, interesting.

I wont mention Lukla

Just search for "Doherty" on http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=difficult+and+dangerous&CatID=root&Go=Search You have to be a member, but it's free and instant to register! Quick, simple, easy and painless, all some of my favorite words! All are very challenging approaches to make. Doherty know's his stuff, whoever "Doherty" may be!!

Great flying to all!

Some of those listed may be "scary" or "thrilling" but as for Madeira Airport, Portugal, an island actually, 540 miles (869 kilometers) southwest of Lisbon....

The runway is 5,249 feet (1,600 meters) long and the curve isn't all that pronounced. Yes, it can be windy as any island stuck far out into the Atlantic may be.

In my very limited experiance, Laguardia airport is worse. The first time that I flew out of there I thought that the plane was going to drop back to earth, landing on it's tail! Restrictions, I guess, require a steep takeoff.

It 's times like that, that I have to remind myself that the pilot isn't suicidal. Maybe.





When I win the lottery, I'll move out to Madeira permanently.
