Jet Departure from Courchevel!
Pretty scary if an engine were to fail prior to or even after V1.....
525 m and 18.5% runway gradient http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=75c_1383854924 |
Impressive to watch... Although I would prefer not to be onboard... :D
It was posted a few weeks ago in this thread: http://www.pprune.org/biz-jets-ag-fl...under-aoc.html |
Ah..OK thanks, had not seen the previous thread..... Very interesting!
This shot is the same aircraft rotating at the end of runway.... http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...Courchevel.png |
:eek: WTF? Is that the end, as in THE end, of the runway??!!
|
I wouldn't call that rotate, that is chucking it of the end and praying the wings bite.
|
AFM limit....????
AFM says max rwy slope +/- 2% ............
|
Beautiful and amazing! :D
specialbrew (although you should try Denmark's Elephant Beer) can you post the video from which you posted the still shot? :ok: |
Here you go....
|
Bollocks the size of space hoppers but not sure about the brain size :eek:
D and F :8 |
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! :ok: |
So, there's going to be a whole lot of reasons why that was possibly a bad (illegal?) idea...
But, man, that was awesome! |
Probably a former naval aviator ?

Reckless, totally reckless....... :eek:

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 |
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 :E 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 :ok:society just like an aircraft carrier fly off the edge dip the nose for flying speed and away you go :ugh: pace |
