Jet Departure from Courchevel!

[specialbrew]

Pretty scary if an engine were to fail prior to or even after V1.....

525 m and 18.5% runway gradient

Impressive to watch... Although I would prefer not to be onboard...

Ah..OK thanks, had not seen the previous thread..... Very interesting!

This shot is the same aircraft rotating at the end of runway....

[CaptainProp]

WTF? Is that the end, as in THE end, of the runway??!!

[cldrvr]

I wouldn't call that rotate, that is chucking it of the end and praying the wings bite.

[ginopino]

AFM limit....????

AFM says max rwy slope +/- 2% ............

[Yellow & Blue Baron]

Beautiful and amazing!

specialbrew (although you should try Denmark's Elephant Beer) can you post the video from which you posted the still shot?

[specialbrew]

Here you go....

Bollocks the size of space hoppers but not sure about the brain size

[Yellow & Blue Baron]

Wow!!

Well, I've added a new item of my list of things to do before I'm 50 - and one of them is hire a Citation to fly me into and out of Courchevel!

I love pilots with nerve and skill!

[josephfeatherweight]

So, there's going to be a whole lot of reasons why that was possibly a bad (illegal?) idea...
But, man, that was awesome!

[His dudeness]

Probably a former naval aviator ?

Probably a former naval aviator!

Lol, I like it.

[StressFree]

Reckless, totally reckless.......

[TWT]

I'd like to see the video of it landing there

Edit: sorry Tray Surfer,I see my question had been asked already in that thread by GF

[cambioso]

The landing at Courchevel is the easy bit compared with the take off. The only thing is, that once you are inside about a mile from the threshold, you are committed to land (always up the hill of course). There is no go around from that point on!
Good fun though.................In the correct aircraft!!

He was probably going around the corner to have a crack at Meribel Even Shorter and steeper.
What has happened to Real Men who smoke Capstan full strength and do stupid things like that in our liability pen pushing nanny society

just like an aircraft carrier fly off the edge dip the nose for flying speed and away you go

But don't most of those aircraft have ejection seats.

Real Men who smoke capstan full strength don't bother with ejection seats

Not for this customer.
