Real world small airport landing video

Featured Replies

I don't do this kind of flying but I believe that some here do.  I found this video interesting because you may be able to do this in the sim.  The aircraft looks familiar but I think it is one of European ones.  And I suspect that the 'airport' (more like a dirt strip) may be in France.

Either way, here you go...  approach and landing

and good luck.

It is a Jodel DR-1050M  Ambassadeur .    French and originally built and sold back in the 60's .  Now mainly home built from plans.

Great airport if you were a new pilot in training, NOT!

Edit
This approach is NO JOKE, very very difficult. I just did it in the KingAir, I'm pretty sure the passengers would have been vomiting the way I had to fly.

LFMB is the ICAO for anyone that wants to try it.

When you do attempt to land there you might as well grab the custom scenery for it :)

Not sure what that addon changed, but it's only 27kb downloaded, there are no textures, no buildings. Looks like possibly just some shape file, water mask or land shape. Hmm...

Great video! I've seen it before, and it was enjoyable to watch again.

The airstrip is part of the France bush trip, I had a hard time finding it but made it eventually. A couple of days later I found the video, and I was already familiar with the surroundings and knew exactly where the pilot was going to land 😉

Just landed there. Landing was easy enough - probably a little too easy compared to the video because I didn't feel the strip was steep enough (at least not until I had the same problem as the RW pilot when I reduced the power too much on the ground before turning!) or rough enough, but finding it was harder. Even with the VFR map on, I past over it without noticing! And keeping the Robin Cadet climbing at any more than 5 degrees was impossible without a stall warning. If someone could make the ground bumpier and give it a more noticable ramp up at the end like in the video, it would be a good representation.
