Εχθές το βράδυ στο History είχε μια εκπομπή για τα 10 δυσκολότερα αεροδρόμια του πλανήτη με βάση μια σειρά κριτηρίων όπως ανάγλυφο, ανέμους, εναέριος χώρος(Γιβραλταρ και περιορισμός λογω Ισπανίας) και άλλα.
Ελπίζω να μην έχει ξαναμπει.
10. KSAN - San Diego, CA - Congested airspace, busy single-runway airport - however, no mention of the 3 busy GA airports or 2 Naval Air Stations nearby - just talked about airline traffic to/from KSAN
9. LPMA - Madeira, Portugal - Location on island, wind conditions, runway built out into ocean on stilts.
8. KEGE - Vail, CO - Altitude and approach/departure through terrain
7. LFLJ - Courchevel, France - Altitude, approach through valleys, short runway with an 18.5% grade
6. VHHH - Hong Kong Kai Tak - Approach between tall buildings, make sharp turn to final at 300ft AGL
5. LXGB - Gibraltar - Spain won't allow departures/arrivals through their airspace, so makes the approach/departure pretty interesting, highway goes across runway
4. TNCM - St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles - Short-ish runway, high terrain on departure end, proximity to beach on approach end, crazy people "riding the fence" when heavies power up to take off (I want to try that!)
3. TFFJ - St. Barth's - Short, downhill runway, slam-dunk approach over a hill with automotive traffic at the top
2. MHTG - Tegucigalpa, Honduras - High altitude, short runway, approach through surrounding terrain
1. VNLK - Lukla, Nepal - High Altitude, 1700ft. runway with 12% grade
