I flew to Lukla December 1989 when the runway was gravel. There were several wrecks either side which was a bit unnerving. Upon returning from the treck to Everest it had snowed for several days and flights were cancelled. About 20 of us charted a military style helicopter to get us out. The pilot took the chopper to the end of the runway and hovered over the edge. Without telling us he dropped down until we were beneath the clouds. Once he had vision he could fly back to Kathmandu. A scary but definitely exciting experience.

I honestly have the utmost respect for the pilots and crew operating these flights multiple times a day. They are incredibly skilled and often do not get the credit they deserve, but are just given the title "banned from flying in the EU". I am certain many EU pilots would not know how to approach or land at Lukla! On another note, I managed to download Pouch just as you said How easy was that?! Does it count? 😂
@myjoyonline.
@myjoyonline. 4 года назад
The pilots are not banned from the EU. The ban is due to airplanes from certain regions not meeting the EU safety standard. Specific flight instructions are required to land at challenging places like Lukla.

@@ajmukhia2522 Thank you for your reply. I think you misunderstood what I wrote. Flight instruction has nothing to do with ATC. Flight Instructions are with a CFI (Certified Flight Instructor). The fact it's a STOL (Shot TakeOff and Landing) airport with commercial traffic is no joke. Certain requirements must be met before being authorised to fly commercially. This is a mandate by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal.

Then getting out was difficult because the weather had closed the airport for over a week. I ended up jumping in a old Russian chopper that some Americans had hired. Pilot landed it on a postage stamp sized field down the mountain then dropped it off the edge and amazing flight back

Best pilots in the world ! It's just a bit windy.. and there is just a little cliff at the end of the runway.. meeh it's okay nothing very important !

Clearly it is a difficult approach, given the mountainous terrain and the no go-around situation. However, with 26 fatalities in its entire history, 18 of which coming from one incident in 2008, perhaps the title of most dangerous isn't really deserved.

I guess this is a bit too early in the year to appreciate this location, but me and my dad went there in April and took the trip all way to the Everest Base Camp. You really need to to some trekking to really get the feeling for this place. At least, go to the nearest town, Namche Basar. The hotels there are better too and it is not high enough for serious altitude sickness :-)
@InuKun2008
@InuKun2008 4 года назад
It's known as a short field take-off, so you hold the brakes while adding throttle to the engines, and once at full power, release the brakes. This reduces the roll distance typically lost as the engines increase their rotation speed. Although into a river and not off a mountainside, Bay Bridge airport in Maryland, where I trained multiple US Navy student pilots how to fly back in 2007-08, is the same with the dip in the runway before you drop at the end. You can depart the other way, however the noise abatement due to the housing estate across the road from the runway on that end, makes for a challenge as you have to climb sharply to 500 feet, then bank hard to the left while continuing to quickly ascend to 1000 feet, as to avoid crashing into the suspension bridge across the Chesapeake Bay. Landing is equally entertaining, especially if folks on the bridge are unaware of the airport, and suddenly see a plane pass low over the bridge, before banking to turn onto final from base. It freaks them out a lot of the time, thinking that it's a terrorist attack and so tie up 911, only to be told that there's a GA airport right by the bridge, and that it's nothing to worry about.

Hell, he could land it on the summit of Everest. Side note: another pilot who performed an equally heroic feat after losing both engines was Captain Carlos Dardano. In fact, he faced more difficulty since he only had one working eye due to being shot in the face on a previous flight. Man landed a 737-300 on a levee near New Orleans and only one minor ankle injury. He's not as well known, but deserves it just as much as Sullenberger. Look him up: TACA flight 110. Happened May 24, 1988.

You ought to do a whistle - stop guide, 15 minute film, of some places you are visiting, such as Kathmandu and little Lukla itself. One further reason is - what's that camera you are using? It's really lovely, pretty amazing and I think it surpasses just about every RU-vid v-logger camera I've seen. Is it huge? I was thinking it must be, yet it fits in the tiny airplane seat to Lukla. Please let us know what it is? Is it new? Until this week, I've only caught your videos around a couple of times a month, when youtube suggests them. That's because I had to unsubscribe because I have so much migraine and I had to cancel videos of plane cabins. I was getting more sick unfortunately. It's better today with that really good camera, for sure, anyway. I don't know if you've changed it or it's me! Thanks for these interesting videos from your cheapest chain of flights idea. Who would have thought you'd end up in Nepal (and via Dubai) for so little and so few flights! (When I think how much my parents kindly funded me for a round the world trip around 20 years ago! And when I'd no accommodation pre-booked, so could have used last minute flights. The world was only beginning to shift towards truly budget flights and online, personal booking back then, though.)

There is a nice airport just down the hill name “phaplu airport” in the same region. It was opened for commercial flight since 1968 and zero accident record. First time visitor would appreciate for lower elevation and immediate beautiful Mountain View, Numbur Himal. You can continue the journey by car or walk for acclamation. There are plenty of nice hotels, resorts and budget lodges with-in walking distance from airport. Low altitude and little far away from higher mountain means less foggy and less chances to cancel the scheduled flights.

Did a little research. The airport opened in 1964 and wasn't paved until 2001. Of all the accidents in the airport's history, there was only one crash where non-crew passengers were killed. The vast majority of the incidences ended with no fatalities--with moderate to no injuries and little to severe damage to the planes.

My school has a program where while the rest of us went on camp a select bunch went to Nepal as part of their program of becoming a certain type of "leader" within the school. They flew to this airport and one of the teachers said it was one of the scariest things he has experienced

Once Loakan Airport in Baguio City, Philippines becomes operational again, I'll let you know and hopefully you can try flying your way to it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loakan_Airport

To scary for this old chook. But, thank you for showing and doing it. What an experience.

Fun fact. The flights are scheduled early in the morning because after that it may get too warm for the planes to take off at that altitude.

It was a dirt airport when I flew out in 1983 with a plane that crashed on the side. Plus no place on the side just straight out. However, flying in in 2008 was even scarier as when you fly out you have 10,000 feet or 3300 meters to make a mistake and recoup. Flying in you make it or you crash into the mountain. Your plane is so nice!!

One positive thing is that the runway is actually "longer" than measured due to the uphill on landings and takeoffs on downhill. That helps a lot both ways. Planes slow down lot faster and takeoffs speed is reached faster too. Funny fact is the planes so not actually "land" but instead just fly level, and get the correct approach angle thanks to uphill runway.

And I thought the approach to Reagan National is scary because of DC's No Fly Zone, but that takes the cake. I don't think I would take that flight honestly. I'm just not a Prop plane person.

Carry something secure to keep your camera in so if you crash and burn we can see the footage later.

I read your trip advisor review. Sounds grim, though some people seem to have better luck there. You should always pack a woolly hat and wear it in bed.
