I just landed my SGA DC-10-30 in gorgeous shiny CP silver and colors at the Grand Canyon Bar Ten (1Z1) airport. I was actually ER from KJFK to KLAX but I disconnected the AP at FL390 to do some low altitude sightseeing (!)In any event, I landed successfully at that air field which I'd never seen before in FS. It is soft and green and on a small, free-standing plateau (in the default FS9 scenery). I approached from the North and pushed the nose down from 8000 feet, mostly gliding in the last 2000 vertical feet, very much "downhill". As if on a roller-coaster, I threw out flaps 50 and touched down 0.2 miles into the 4600' field and had room to brake and stop. My approach weight was 350 K lbs and my approach speed was -- well, try it yourself and figure it out!In the remaining field space, I then took off to the south (with flaps 20) and fell off the plateau at under 100 knots but had just enough space to accelerate to V2 and managed to pull up prior to hitting the ground and fly away, safe and sound.I then did several approaches from the south into the field and that was rather tougher since the cliff is steeper and more sheer from that side. I bought it three times on landing too fast and hard and the gear sank into the earth around the thin green strip. You need to approach at the right speed--slower rather than faster--and land straight and on the green strip. watch your pitch. The DC-10 has a wing that just quits if you are too slow (bit like the 727, I think). It is very challenging indeed.This is, I grant, a kind of FS madness; but then again, I have striven to control Heavy Iron quite seriously for years and I could not pass up this challenge. It's not for everybody, but if you want to test your eye-balling skills and fly by view and feel, and adjust pitch by the cotton strands of your pants, then this is one good heck of a great little field to try it.Check your term life and property damage coverage before attempting this one.Good luck and safe flying!JS

Hi,Sounds lke some pretty Hot Dog type maneuvering in a DC-10, and sounds pretty fun. ;-)Regards,Jim
