Queenstown, and Dunney-din are a walk in the park (please note my top gun reference ) compared to Innsbruk (austria) and Chambery (france)

Innsbruk..all as described..with the rapid wind changes, and SEVERE turb

Chambery...4.4 degree glideslope onto a 6000ft runway.....with a 9000 ft lump of granite 2.7 miles off the end of it...so one way in and one way out

Not saying NZQN isnt tough....rather that it is in a different league for public transport aircraft due to the escape routes available
