Microsoft Flight Simulator: 14LEG Barcelonnette – Saint-Pons Airfield (LFMR) – Altisurface de Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette (LF3826)
T-H-E H-A-R-D-E-S-T “AIRPORT” E-V-E-R
This is the most difficult airstrip to land in this trip. And I believe among all the others bush flights as well.
Here we have a very short strip with trees on approach. The approach is along the mountainside, where the influence of the wind is strong. If the speed is too low, there is a risk of a gust of wind, if the speed is too high, there will not be enough place to stop on the hill. It took me more than 30 attempts to land on this hill. Since there are no saves here, I flew this route at least 30 times. Now I can fly there with a stopwatch and closed eyes.
And, taking off from this hill is tricking too)
See you in the next episode)
