Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 6. "RE: Interesting runway" 08-20-03, 21:51z  Greetings Emile: > Where? Andy picked up on it. > Running down to climb..... One way in, one way out. You have to land going uphill, and takeoff going downhill. There's not enough thrust to takeoff uphill. But boy, that first bump/hump must ding a lot of props!

Thanks for naming the strip. The picture was posted on the SBA TRACON site http://www1.faa.gov/ats/atct/sba/fy.htm and we were wondering if it was a fake or not. > Never mind take of... landing WOULD be fun We had a well-known mountain flying expert, Sparky Imeson out a few months ago. The stories he tells (he brought slides of some of these places) about landing on strips like these are amazing. Imagine landing at an attitude and power setting that's usually reserved for climbing, then jamming on the brakes as soon as the wheel touch down so you don't roll downhill backwards!!

James Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 10. "RE: Interesting runway" 08-26-03, 18:38z  Hi Andy, What ICAO Code does this one come under if any?? Is it in FSCOF??

Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 11. "RE: Interesting runway" 08-27-03, 18:46z  PMFJI, > What ICAO Code does this one come under if any?? Is it in FSCOF?? I don't really think it qualifies as an "airport". There is an Ayers Rock Connellan, Airport code: AYQ, but I can't find that in COF. However, there's an Ayers Rock Connellan in COF, ID YAYE. If you fly a few miles SE, you'll find Ayers Rock. Just FYI, it is possible to land on it.

Mike_Greenwood Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: Interesting runway" 08-20-03, 05:04z  Hey Ben, Would you rather take off from that strip or land on it? Ever see the movie "Air America?" There was a similar strip. --Greenie **6 miles SSE KSJC** -= VPC OffLine Reader 2.1 =- Registered to: Mike Greenwood -OLR.PL v1.80- Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 8. "RE: Interesting runway" 08-20-03, 21:51z  Hey Mike: > Would you rather take off from that strip or land on it? That's easy--takeoff for me. I bet you get going pretty fast, but again, this first hump on this one would be a deal breaker if you take it the wrong way. > Ever see the > movie "Air America?" There was a similar strip. I've seen it, but don't remember the scene. It's been a while. I guess I'll have to rent it for a refresher.
