- Join me as I fly the box canyon approach into the second highest elevation airport in the United States - Telluride, Colorado. Telluride Airport (KTEX) sits at 9,069' MSL, just behind Leadville which is at 9,933' MSL. The aircraft is a 2016 Cirrus SR22T G5. Enjoy!

Textbook. Always fun to land on 27.
Premier 1 Driver Thanks P1D! It’s such a blast
G; fancy meeting you here. Perhaps Telluride itself one day.
That makes 2 guys that know that airport well for sure.
So P1D, do you have any videos of your sweet little jet landing here?
@@cyh4031 Yeah, exactly.
That scenery was MAJESTIC
I am so appreciative of people like yourself taking me to places I will never get to go and allowing me to see things I would have no chance of ever seeing for myself.
Thank you!!
You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
@@ColinPrenger Ditto from Florida!!!
Picture perfect. & Perfect pictures! Beautiful.
Excellent! ...enjoyed viewing this.
I’ve watched this video at least ten times. I just love it! The majesty of the mountains, and how small we are. Quite humbling and I guess my many views remind me. Thanks for the ride! Loved it too.
I live in Colorado and I'm always impressed by the views.
Thank you, Captain Prenger. This was beautiful to watch and very informative.
A pleasure to watch. Great commentary. Excellent piloting. Well done!
That looks so easy I drove a tank in Iraq and Afghanistan I know I can handle that plane with ease... Great job
beautiful scenery ..thanks for sharing!
Always exciting to fly into Telluride back when there were regular commercial flights! The pilots were great!
outstanding job, thanks for sharing.
I went there back in the late '80s. When I looked out the window and saw that one runway, and it looked uphill, I nearly peed myself.
To Hell You Ride. Yep.
Very nice. I liked the approach tips you provided. I'm no pilot, just an airplane enthusiast. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
This is one of the coolest videoes I've seen on TH-cam in a while... thanks for the bird's eye view of the mountains!
Wow, Colin, I absolutely loved this!
Great video, i found it educational to know the mountains on the coors can are real mountains here in Colorado. Gotta t love this beautiful state. Nice landing 👍
Was there in 1974, when the airport was in the planning stage. Great skiing the Plunge...powder at the top and corn on the bottom. Hole In The Wall Pizza!!
Beautiful. Thanks for the visual ride!
That was fun to watch. Thank you. You made it look easy!
...beautiful takes,love it.
Nice, beautiful landscape. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! That dip in the runway really made float when I was landing there.
Flying into or out of Telluride is always an experience. Can’t imagine what it would be like in less than ideal conditions. Thanks for sharing the video.
In less than ideal conditions two experienced pilots would concentrate on the job very carefully.
TEX was a real treat before they leveled the runway. We called it the salad bowl because it dipped so low in the middle. At my last flight safety sim in the Lear 60, which is a climbing beast, we positioned to TEX and took off on 9, towards the box canyon. Easily got to 15K before the falls. Always room to turn around if we lost an engine. Most beautiful part of Colorado, and I'm even a big Steamboat fan.
I used to fly into TEX about 20 times a winter. Started in a WestWind and then a Citation 3. If the wx was good it wasn’t to bad. The aircraft owner had a home there and loved to go skiing. Great huh?
Nicely done, Captain! You made it look easy.
Retired now, but I use to fly the MD-11 in the cargo configuration. This aircraft came with an Auto-land feature which was fantastic. In real bad weather after the autopilot landed the plane and the main tires were on the ground and the nose was still in the air...you couldn't see anything. After the autopilot landed the nose...then you could see the runway. The only way you could get the plane to turn off the centerline was to disengaging the autopilot. I flew learjets out of Aspen when I was younger...retired now in Florida. .
you are a brave pilot. good work!
Love the “Oh common man”!
Wow. That's some beautiful scenery. Great Flying. Thanks for a fun video.
Awesome skills, thanks for the ride.
One of the best videos I've seen coming into Telluride great video quality
Gorgeous view from up there, 😍❤️👍🙏
"Oh, c'mon, man!" ...Nice landing, great explanation. 🙂
Yeah, gotta talk to the plane every once in a while to get it to do what you want!
Fantastic view and report, thank you.
Fantastic!
I read the video title and knew where we were going!
When they said one of the most "challenging" airports, I knew we were talking about the airport at "ta hell you ride," high, high, high in southwestern Colorado's San Juan Mountains. And for a bit of local color, hop off the plane, go into Telluride and look up at that mountain with the unusual building on it--a Victorian-era hydroelectric plant designed by Thomas Edison!
Fun flying with you...beautiful!
Great flying! Thanks for sharing...
That was fun. Thanks for the upload.
Bro this was so dope to watch, learned a lot thank you
You showed up in my recommendations and I'm glad you did!
This was great, I'm going to check out some of you other content now.
Thanks for checking my stuff out!
That was very nice. I like how you explain things in detail. Very helpful for an aspiring student of aviation. You have a great voice by the way.
Nice, thanks for posting....
What a great video - thanks for sharing
Wow, Colin! I've seen some beautiful Rocky Mountain scenery in a lot of aviation videos but that was just stunning!
It is a stunning place!
Smooth, stabilized approach. Congrats or your piloting. 😀
Great job. Outstanding locale. I am so jealous of you
I'm not a pilot so this was just awe inspiring! Great piloting through that choppy air.
Those views are breathtaking!
Great flying, great landing, awesome scenery and very well recorded, thank you for sharing.
Cool. Some years ago I flew from Centennial Airport to Leadville. Summertime and that Turbo 172 was working. My last mountain flying expedition. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Farmington, NM to Durango, CO on old Mesa Air was as like an amusement park ride. I was strapped in and holding on for dear life while the local travelers were chatting and reading. Wind seemed to come from every direction.
Thanks for the ride. 👍
I'm going to try this in MS Flight Sim X. Thanks for the great video and info!
Very nice! We visited Telluride in 2018 by roads. Beautiful area!!
Excellent video, very smooth landing, you made it look easy. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed that video......and great scenery! Greetings from New Zealand.
What a beautiful place to land!
AWESOMENESS 👍🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️✈️✈️✈️✈️🛫🛫🛬🛬🛬🛫🛫🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️🛫🛬🛩️🛩️LOVE IT .. GREAT JOB!!!!
a great view - thanks
Wow...fascinating to watch this. I've traveled there by car but never by plane. Scary!
Excellent landing! Thanks for the great video.
Great job, Beautiful scenery,
wow, scary approach... great work Captain.
That was, great!
That looks like a fun little plane to fly, even as a passenger...really nice for a single engine!
This is a very good video. Thank you.
Nice job well done...i like runway nice place...be safe.
Great video, and thanks for sharing. I miss my CO flying, tho I never made it West of the range. TEX is one airport I would love to fly to.
I live in Colorado, and have visited Telluride dozens of times. In 1987 I met my brother and his wife in Telluride, and they flew in, and said they were terrified by the landing and would never do it again! I always wondered what flying in there was like ever since then. Now I know! (kind of)
great job & info in this vid. i can’t even see the prop! i’ve never piloted or even sat in a Cirrus & it looks really cool, especially when compared to a lot of the old and p.o.s private aircraft i’ve put my faith & my bottom in.
Thank You. My dream job that never happened. Always wanted to pilot planes. Ended up drilling for the fuel! God Bless!
Drove up to that airport once and said to myself "I will never fly my self into this place". Great flying, cool plane you have there.
Excellent arrival, thanks captain. 👍
Thanks much!
I landed a Learjet 35 there. Had to go around because we were so unstable. The thin air makes your ground speed so much faster. On takeoff the emergency pressurization went off because the cabin pressure was above 9500. It is the most challenging airport I ever landed at. The town is gorgeous.
Great video! 👍🎥
Enjoyed it!😮☺
Thank you!✌🌟
Great video! Coolest thing about Telluride is that runway lol
Very smooth. did enjoy I would sign your log anytime Well done !
Ran Leadville trail marathon June 2018. Flew my normal aspirated 210 into Leadville -no prob. Gave me a certificate at the airport for landing there - felt like a winner before ever started to run 😂 nice video - 👍
Very high quality video with excellent contents. Thank you for sharing and safe travels always
Thank you for watching!
A beautiful aircraft!
Looks the wing of a Cirrus sr22, nice approach!!
I enjoyed your video ! I like how you explain what you were doing when you did your approach and landing the aircraft.
Thanks for watching!
I worked for Rocky Mtn.Airways in Avon Colo. 1984-1988 which served Vail. A private strip only for Stol A/C. Had a microwave landing system for landing. Not there anymore but made Telluride look like LAX.
Beautiful.
Great, Well done!
Great approach and landing!
Awesome video! Great HD, no crappy music overlay - well done
Enjoyed!
Nice job. Right on the centerline.
Great video, enjoyed the ride!
Scariest landing I ever made. There is a lot going on, mountains, winds, canyons, etc., in the area of KTEX. I was flying in with my instructor pilot. The wind was neutral for runway preference, so I was expecting a straight in 09 landing. I was farther out and quite a bit slower than the Lakesair Beach 1900 declared an approach to 27. This completely messed me up as in my mind, I was landing straight in 09. Still my instructor pilot let me make the approach. I would have not followed the Beach and broken the pattern, if I had been by myself. However my IP thought I should try to land. I was a little behind the plane but not so much my IP though he should take the plane from me. I made the threshold a little fast and little high but more or less okay. It took some help from my instructor pilot to get the plane to stick to runway but I got it down and could use the airplane again. I was shaking afterwards but glad I made the approach and landing.
Excellent video!
Nice Piece of work DUDE-!!!
nice high mountain airport sick aerial views bro
Cool Video brother narration was perfect, nice landing.
Beautiful. Can’t wait for this landing in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
