If you keep your “eye on the ball:” FPV never pointing to a hill in the flight path rather than the unobstructed runway itself, it’d never be possible to hit the ground early??

Then all you’d have to do in addition is keep your speed within good range (not too hot or too cold), to be at an in-the-pocket speed during round out to touchdown.

Moral: careful speed control and active aiming.

Toncontin (Honduras) has a pretty challenging approach too.

I recommend you try Lukla. Let’s see, the landing is not so “Complicated” the complicated thing there is that Infinite Flight shows you how the runway through the mountains. So this factor can play you for or against :) also Toncontin would be a very good option, although that one is much easier.

I love Skagway, for the beauty of the approach, and for the challenges in various aircraft and weather. One of my IF first loves.

🎶If you want to try a hard approach🎶

Fly Kai Tak!

Preferably in a 747. Just because it’s fun.

Haifa, in Israel has a semi hard approach, and a short runway. The largest plane that operates there is the E190.
