Great presentation of both the airfield as well as the aircraft!! What an amazing experience this must be… I actually remember the time when this aircraft was brand new (different livery back then), and state of the art! Well done Martin! Thanks for sharing the adventures 😍
Definitely a "bucket list" airport for myself based on the views and interesting approach. I'm guessing having the Turbo aircraft would make it easier due to the higher density height?
Good point. The challenges in Courchevel for the Pilots are regardless of the size: Terrain, Wind, Altitude, no goaround option, unusual view and especially the touch-down zone. Too early, you will en up in the wall. Too late, you will destroy your landing gear. Compared to the SR22 the PC-12 has some advantages in Courchevel: Better Performance, more resilient against wind and better landing abilities on short runways due to its forgiving suspension. Try it out it is awesome!
Was there no wind or did you have a tailwind on takeoff? We have a similar airstrip here in Canada but much shorter. Landing was no problem favoring an uphill landing. The problem is the slope was too steep for an uphill takeoff. I decided to accept a light tailwind and takeoff downhill. At close to gross weight we just made it... (Grumman AA-5B Tiger)
There was almost no wind. On most day‘s about mid morning the ‚Talwind‘ (wind uphill) starts, meaning a light tailwind during approach and a light headwind during take-off.

Wow! the best video from Courchevel. Great explanations from you and you Instructor. Thanks!!!
Thanks Walter!
That lime-green-metallic look is perfect for this A/C!
🤟
Awesome video! This trip on that plane are on my bucket list.
Thanks for sharing.
happy to hear that you like it - thank you for your feedback
Great video and nice work on the landing. Now that’s on MY bucket list.
Yes 👍 I also thinking about to add it to my bucket list 😍
Wow that's an interesting place to have to land. You certainly want to have a flight instructor for that one for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely done! Martin is a great guy for sure!
What a perfect landing 🛬☺️ and seems like amazing place to visit 😃
thanks a lot 😊
Challenge accepted with the bike 💪🏻 (no e-bike of course)
haha - great one

thanks Karin 🙏
Definitely want to try this out sometime. Maybe at least get to a couple hundreds of hours first. 💪

Absolutely. But we were fully loaded in a normal C172 last summer. Worked as well.
Very nicely done!! 👍🏼🙂
thanks 🙏
Cool Video Guys 👍
thanks Roby
How do i contact that instructor? Thanks
Whats so spectacular at that? Its a smal plane. Its no problem for a PC12 so why should it be for SR22?

And one of the main quality of a pilot is to remain modest, whichever is his age and experience.
Clearly not your case….

yes - you have to land wind tailwind - with >18% slope no way from the other side. on our day it way quite calm
