Thank you Lorenzog;

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.

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).

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.

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.
