Now before anyone says anything, I'm not having a dig at the terrain, just really enjoyed the approach

The river approach, doesn't really show how close the wall of water is, but believe me, it's close!


Looking towards the mountain approach and parking area, much easier although you need to watch your port wing coming in


Thanks for looking, these shots were taken at Revelstoke (CYRV), BC, Canada using the 70m SRTM available here

Great stuff, will try it in a jet next

BTW - The wall of water towers 600ft above the runway!

thanks for posting the place, I really like that airport.

when you said aproach I thought it was shots of the plane landing, but good shots.

Is it FS2004?

Indeed, found a few other dips and bumps around that area too

Hi Marick, sorry I didn't get any approach shots, but I did video it, so there may be a good chance of some shots , I'll see what I can do

I think I'm gonna go on a world tour of airports, trying to find the hardest approaches I can
Then show pics of the results

Cheers,

Carl

I tried that....amazing!

How though, does the water fall vertically and not splash the runway and what kind of bozo builds a strip there anyway?

A.

There's a fix for those errors.

Is it the one at AVsim?

If you're talking about the fix: Yep.

Very odd indeed. Nice shots:)

There is another airport just like that, but its a valley and the whole airport is about 1,000 feet below ground level. I can't remember what the name of it is though.

mm, the approach isn't as bad if you land going the right direction on the runway....

bet it's a real WIDE runway eh?  ;D
