Not for the "Autoland" crowd. :LMAO:

 

This is Kasitsna, a sand and gravel strip on Kasitsna Bay. It is about 800 feet long and curved (dog leg!) Here are the Notams:

 

- SURFACE IS SAND AND GRAVEL BEACH.

- RWY SIDE SLOPE IS 10%.

- APCH TO RWY 28 BLOCKED BY HILL

- RWY HAS SLIGHT DOGLEG;

- RWY FLOODED AT 16.5' TIDE.

- LARGE ROCK ON BEACH APPROXIMATELY MIDPOINT OF LANDING AREA.

 

I love it! :yahoo:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, the real thing doesn't have any trees on the beach to make your life difficult, unlike Flight, but then the Flight version doesn't have a dog leg, or a big rock in the middle of the strip, and doesn't flood at high tide. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not easy, you have been warned!

 

Best regards.

May have to try one of my stall/short field landings with my trusty RV-6

No way, the RV-6 won't stop soon enough (for me).

I'll try with my trusty Icon

Hmm.. a lot of my landings wind up being kind of dog-legged. Maybe this is the strip I've been looking for.

With a little headwind (10+ kts), full flaps and a full elevator on short final, she would make it. Now I have to put my money where my typing is and actually try.

SUCCESS!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luis your a star!
