This Weeks Flight for Wednesday 15th December 2021
Flight created by Dan Mckee
Altiports Tour in French Alps with challenging airports of Alpes d'Huez, Meribel and Coucheval, all having upward sloping runways. My tip for landing is to know the runway altitude and land slightly GAINING altitude. If you land descending you will contribute your undercarriage to the local environment!!!!
Note the necessary full stops and turn arounds at Alpes d'Huez and Meribel
Flying the waypoints avoids some of the high altitudes and resultant steep descents which can complicate the approach to the sloping runways.
