February 23, 201313 yr http://gizmodo.com/5983289/23-terrifying-runways-that-will-stoke-your-fear-of-flying I found some of them interesting and some very much a challenge but "fear of flying" - never!!! I have only "simmed" in/out of 4 of these..... _________________________________________________________________________ Bob "roadwarrior" Werab Config: ASUS Prime Motherboard, RYZEN 5, 32 GB Ram, Radeon RX5700 XT, 2 TB SSD
February 23, 201313 yr Wow, some amazing pictures. I've visited 9 of those airports in the sim. And to be honest, I'd be really scared if I sat in the pax cabin IRL, and watched out of the window, at least when approaching some of those airports. Both Courchevel and Lukla would definitely be on that list. Florian
February 23, 201313 yr Wow, thanks for posting. I'm surprised KSAN and KMDW weren't on the list. FS2020 Alienware Aurora R11 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10700F - Windows 11 Home 32GB Ram NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC 16GB - Pimax Crystal Light VR
February 23, 201313 yr I've been to one as a passenger an the other as a pilot. They should hav put a few of the Hawaiian airports in there like Molokai and Kapalua. I always laughed when they said it would be difficult to fly in Hawaii. Not again though! There were some pretty rough times getting up and down. Chris Miller
February 23, 201313 yr Emotive remarks like: "Kai Tak International Airport, famous and hated for its heart-stopping approach low over Hong Kong, ended its 73-year reign of terror in 1998." are really annoying! This is "much" more fun! Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
February 23, 201313 yr Only one of those I've flown into as a pilot was Maderia, but I have been to Gibralta as a passenger. Regards, Ró. Rónán O Cadhain.
February 23, 201313 yr The only thing terrible was the selection of airports... Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!

February 24, 201313 yr vololiberista, thanks for sharing the video of Paro Airport (VQPR).......wow is right what an approach and landing!!!! I ended up trying this one in the Boeing 757-200 last night. Matter of fact, I posted screenshots of it as well. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
February 25, 201313 yr I've flown into 7 or 8 of these in FSX, they can have very fun approaches that aren't the easiest. Add some real world weather and you're in for a rough ride! Regards, Jeremy Chesney
February 25, 201313 yr I would not consider Chūbu Centrair or Kansai to be frightening. In fact, knowing that they are surrounded by water—good for emergency landings and overruns—is comforting! They also offer great spotting locations.
February 25, 201313 yr Hmmm you can have different categories...for Turboprops, this one is my favourite.. For medium Jets, either SBRJ's rwy 02 visual approach, SLSU (any runway) or MHTG For heavies, either Kai Tak or Quito...have been a pax and jump seat to all except Walikali, and that was a sure way to heart the heart pumping!
