I think this may have been up before with a reference in a previous thread about circling to get out.
This is prompted by the suggestion to get a glider in from 10000'.
How many different aircraft can get in and out?
Take your favourite 747 and have a go!?!?

Man that's a tough spot!

I started off trying to get an AN225 out of there (you've got to try haven't you!! ). 3 attempts later I abandoned that and tried the Baron. Got it out and in again first go but the climb out was tough. I did it on 10% fuel too.

Going back for another go on 100% fuel load because I'm in that neck of the woods on my RTW touur - want to know if it's possible and if so, I'll make it a stop.

the B-58 full throttle/afterburners can do it...the B-1b, not a chance

I only tried it once in a cessna, didn't have a problem

The first time I tried this (many moons ago) was in the C-172.  I didn't realize I would have to climb 5000 ft but I eventually figured out I would have to circle a few times to get out.

I just made it (straight out) in the Lear 45 - 10% fuel and I was doing 110 KIAS at the rim.  I left 2 wrecks at the bottom if anyone wants to salvage.  I suppose you could cheat and taxi back 100 yds from the start of the runway but I didn't.

The easiest way by far was in the Gazelle.  In and out in one attempt.  No one said we couldn't use helicopters.

A 747?  Let me know when you make it.

I have been waiting for someone to spill it. But no luck.

Allright! Where is this airstrip? How do I find it?

It's somewhere in South America, probably brazil. Just go create a flight at SESM

Simple innit

It

nce going BR

Yes BR nice going but did you get it back in??

Twin Otters do it with 75% fuel although it would be less nerve racking with less!

Anyway,no Xtreme glider pilots out there??

i took of with a stearman and got i out of the crater...
i landed an F-16 nice and easy...

when i have a new fersion of FS i'll try the Mi-10 and Mi-6

Well getting out the shallow end I could do it with the BIG Ant, only 5% fuel in the main tank though!!!



And a Boeing 767 with half a load of fuel!!!

Who's the mad bloke in the Spit?

This is all fine and good but when you take off you also have to land!!
Yes I got BR's 747 out of there with 25% fuel but I didn't  get it back in!
Landing's the name of the game
PS. Gliders from 10000',Helicopters autorotate from the rim.

Autorotating in is easy, but I'll take the glider challenge...
