Hello Fellow Simmers;

Could you please be so kind to advise of any challenging approaches on the European Continent.

So far i have the following: 

Svalboard, Norway 

Gibraltar

Juancho E Yraunsquin in Netherlands 

Madeira

La Palma

Skiathos

Innsbruck

LOWS

LGSM

ENSD

 

Any other ones you guys have in mind?

Thank you for all your help.

Italy

 

LICR Reggio Calabria

 

LICJ Palermo Punta Raisi

 

LIRQ Florence

LIMJ Genova

 

France

 

LFLJ Courchevel 

Thank you Lorenzog;

How could I forget about LICJ?! Thx. 

I have also noted down the Split circling approach  

But, is there a Juancho E Yraunsquin in Norway ? because this name is the Dutch airport in Caribbean island of Saba not in Europe.

 

With tubeliners or prop ?

 

For Prop

Courchevel

LIRJ RWY 16

 

Tube

Not that difficult but LFMN circle to land 4L4R

Lugano a steep approach

LICR Visual RWY 33

Hello Simbo;

Yes, sorry, my mistake. That airport is in the Netherlands  

Oh, Lugano looks awesome, thank you. 

Its for my Q400 flights  

I think Vágar at faroe islands also should be added to the list. Especially Runway 12 during which approach you fly through a narrow fjord canyon.

Thank you so much! i would have never thought of this airport! Many thanks! 

Going off memory so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Gibraltar (LXGB) have a fairly tricky approach for one of it's runways?

 

(I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet).

There are many windshear

Demanding approaches of European airports to add to the list:

 

LYTV - Tivat in Montenegro (available from Sky High Sim for free)
 

LSZS - Engadin in Switzerland (St. Moritz - Samedan)
 

LGSM - Samos in Greece (already mentioned)

 

EGLC - London City (steep approach)

Thank you very Cargostorm. 

Tivat looks amazing for freeware. Many thanks for that.

Hi Nealmac,

I have mentioned it in the beginning. 

Great topic! Not Europe, but possibly the most difficult in the world is Paro, Bhutan. According to a documentary I watched recently (BBC City in the Sky), only 26 commercial pilots are qualified to make the landing.

Thank you very Cargostorm.

Hi Nealmac,

Sorry, so I see. Need new glasses.

Last week I watched a National Geographic documentary on the worlds most challenging approaches. My eyes were glued to the TV for the entire 2 hours. Ill see if I National Geographic has posted it to their website or on YouTube. If i find the link I will share it.

Hello Wilco;

Thank you.
