Let's go to crash :

SHM wrote:Hi everyone,

The World's Challenging Approaches is back after a short while and we skipped November since the festival of Flightgear was there and thanks to all pilots who flew the last leg to Samos. Though the event started with a flurry of crashes for me, everybody seemed to get their planes safely except a few due to some FDM troubles/FG bugs. With that aside here is the announcement and briefing for the next leg.

This time the airport we would be flying to is Paro (VQPR) in Bhutan.

“Where’s that one airport that really challenges my pilot skills?”
If you ever asked yourself that question, the answer is here! Paro, Bhutan is widely considered being the hardest and most dangerous approach in the world. Far more difficult than any airports you would have flown into. Without any navigational aids like ILS or PAPI, all you have for your journey down the small valley high up in the Himalayan mountains is your own pilot skills and the knowledge that you’re one of the only eight (8!) privileged pilots allowed to land at this beautiful place.

When?

generally speaking, SQL errors when posting are because you've use a UTF8 character somewhere in your post... remove and/or switch them to a standard ASCII character and it should work fine... single and double quote characters are the worst... so many use typographical ones instead of the plain ones on your keyboard... then there's the long hyphen (aka dash), too... i replace them with the plain old dash (aka minus sign)...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

SHM wrote:Thanks to all those who took part in the flight to Paro. It was a nice event and surely the most difficult we have done in this series of events. :mrgreen:

Also thanks to Woosh for not only controlling the traffic, but also for helping with all the preparations for the event as well as his scenery work.

Probably the next leg would be at Gibraltor or Madiera in February.

And finally Merry Xmas in advance.
