Sorry to deviate from the thread about landings in the first reply. This one is about takeoff:. .Tajikistanīs Dushanbe airport runway is probably one of the roughest runways in the world to take off from. I have myself whitnessed the ground spoilers deploy on an L-1011 during takeoff run due to the g-forces on the handle itself. Not fun at all to get the takeoff warning to sound at high speed on a high weight takeoff. Canīt be nice to the airframe either... Airport is at about 2000 ft with MSA at about FL 200.
