DAVIDSTRAKA Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The left outside view of this strange place I decided on a full flap, slow as possible and a touchdown as close to the edge as possible. No way was I waiting for the displaced threshold to go by.. Cut the power and dropped it on to the dirt! Brakes and back pressure Just made it to a stop with feet to spare "Tower" view Turned it around right on the edge Held brakes, gunned it, rolled until it just got into the white arc and pulled her up for best angle of climb Got to get it over the trees Going home to change my pants and the seat cover...:D Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I did try the Cessna 185 and got it out of there with no problem! I just tried an approach for landing and was too high, had to call it quits while I was ahead. I have to get elevation of this field and then, maybe I will try it again!

jfwright Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Gosh, that airport looks like the deck of an aircraft carrier. Great landing and nice takeoff. No problem for the small planes but your pushing it with the bigger ones. Jim I am a King Air fan. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The conversation in this thread cracked me up. :D I'm gonna check out Jarrett Airport in P3D.

I kind of hope it's like this so I can give it a go. Kirk - It's a 1200' shelf, that about the best we can call it! Be careful. David got his Maule in and out of it, I only tried a Cessna 185 taking off and manage to do it. Still have to attempt a landing. Landings will take the most attention, as it's not whether you can touch the tires down at the exact spot, it's getting the tires to stop rolling by the time you reach the end of the "shelf!" Good luck and let us know how you do! :rolleyes: Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azzaro Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Wow! Now there's an airport that really doesn't want pedestrian traffic! I suppose they could fill that moat with water and alligators if needed. Of course that wouldn't stop our intrepid water-loving airman from having a go. :rolleyes: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
