Hmm... good clip but Samos Gr is much the same but with 30 kts across every day.

I'll still say that Aspen, Colardo (KASE) is very high on the list, if not at the top.

Bubbers44, I have flown in and out of there in a 727 back in the old days. However, I still believe that Aspen is worse. Why they didn't have Aspen on that Discovery program, I really never understood.

Now that I'm retired, if I never see Aspen again I'll be happy. But my wife loves the place, so I'm most likey to see it again anyway. :(

Of course now that I am retired and don't have to fly into ASE anymore, there is now an ILS into there with decent minmiums. Only certain aircraft, Gulfstreams, Falcon 50/900s, etc., are allowed to shoot the approach with special crew training.

Most difficult airfield is always the one I'm going to land on next. Rather treat it like that than becoming complacent.

FWIW this is Fane in the PNG highlands. It averages something like a 16deg slope and once you get to the top you have to stop or you run into the buildings.

Onongi, just down the road. Again, a one-way strip.

There's another runway in PNG by the name of Kamuli, which is similar to Fane but it is curved and has a cliff going up on one side.

Innsbruck is my nr1, loved the circling approaches during foen...

Bah - As grandpa Simpson says "I've coughed up scarier stuff!" ;)

At least you can break off an approach to most of the above.

Megeve, France - once you turn onto final, you are utterly committed as it is surrounded on three sides by huge rock faces and slopes, and the runway slopes at 7% (I seem to remember). Even Courcheval would allow some degree of break-off with a skillful steep turn.

It used to be that you could could go in without a check if you fly a ULM, even a fast glass ship. Ironically the arrival was fine for me (once my pulse had slowed) - Getting back out was the problem - got socked in for three days.

I can't find a decent picture - best is this flight sim pic I found.

Samos, Greece on a windy day can be really challenging.
