Has anyone here landed on a 5 degree upslope here? I have and its horrible. Really bad visual illusion means that you need to be talked down practically on a visual approach. the flare becomes a six degree pullup affair, which, if you pork, means going around and burning even more fuel.

Oh, what happens when the wind isnt in your favour and you have to get airbourne on the upslope? Does wonders for your performance, meaning you may need to flag somewhere, at massive increase in fuel burn!

Flat runways are the best!
