Frontier DC3: Denver-SLC;GUC-MTJ pt 2
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 5:40 pmThe flight is well-planned: a straight line would take them over the mountains to the north, rising up near 10,000 feet.
And now there is a highway to follow, right into Montrose. As Flying M Airport slides past the right wing, it's time to start the pre-landing checklist. Montrose Regional is about 10 miles away...
A bit high on final, but the captain wants to land long anyway...
... as the terminal is beyond the intersecting runway.
He flies her on well past the numbers, keeping just a little power on to delay the tail coming down. Perfect!
Next: Montrose-Grand Junction
