I recently found a cool little backcountry Airport called Johnson Creek! It is located deep in the mountains of Idaho. Personally it is one of the hardest runways to land at due to the rugged ridge lines all around the airport. These are some videos on how other airmen land in real life. https://youtu.be/xu3XmmIFdLI?si=NEUMNTm7MGYlP4rX
Runway 35 final Approach
Leg | Altitude | Heading | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Downwind | 6,000 ft | 170° | Stay close to the right canyon wall |
Base | 5,800 ft | 080° | Watch terrain, keep speed down |
Final | 5,700 ft → 4,960 ft | 350° | Full flaps, stabilize at 55–60 KIAS |
