Departures from Lukla Airport in Nepal
The salient points: The airport is at an elevation of 9,334'. The runway is 1,729' long and slopes at 11.7%. Go-arounds on short final are not possible. Successfully aborting a takeoff is unlikely at best.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
What type of planes are those? The wings look too small for the body. I guess they work, but I believe in the "if it looks right it is right" school, and those don't look right to me.
ReplyDeleteReminds me a bit of Jaffery NH. To a C150 its about the same in summer.
ReplyDeleteEck!
First three to go are Dornier D228’s (second has tail number 9N-AIG, I believe...is listed as a hull loss in 2012). The ventral ridge to the tail, the rear position and central mount stabilizers, the nose shape and the window layout matches the D228-200.
ReplyDeleteThe last might be a DHC-6 Twin Otter.
My bad, for ventral, read dorsal...that’s what happens with mush for brains after a shift.
ReplyDeleteAlso, not NG models because of the four bladed props.
I don't think I need to put that airport on my bucket list.
