Airline Pilot’s Nightmare: World’s Most Difficult Landing Approaches

Posted by R MAK 9 October, 2008 (8) Comment

Air travel has become so popular that you will hardly find a place on earth, where you can not reach by air. This obsession with air travel has led to mushroom growth of airports around the world. When I look at  the pictures below, I ask yourself this question. “What on earth, they were thinking , when they put that landing stripe there?”

Let’s put it in another way. Draw a 3 feet wide path on the floor and ask a person to walk over it. he could go dancing all the way. Now take that same 3 feet path, hang it between two high rise buildings and ask the person to walk across. 98% will decide not to walk over it. Same is true with  these Airport Runways.

All of my pilot friends agree that the photos below are an airline pilot’s worst nightmare. These are indeed world’s most difficult landing approaches. It needs a lions heart ( or Instrument Landing) to land an aircraft there.

Upon being tested, the fellow couldn’t walk a straight line any more than he could drive one, so the trooper wrote out a ticket and had just given it to the driver before an accident in the opposite lane took his attention to more important matters.
The inebriated driver, figuring that the trooper wasn’t coming back to him, drove home and went to bed. he was awakened in the morning by a knock at the door, created by two more state troopers.
“Are you Mr. Johnson?” the asked? He admitted that he was.
“Were you pulled over at Main Street last night for driving under the influence?” Again, the man admitted that was he.
“And what did you do then,” the troopers asked.” The man replied that he drove his car home and went to bed. Read the rest of this entry
