The only tight spot for a c130 would be at the top of the runway, it they moved that tower over 50 feet then a c130 could turn around, a c130 can take off on a football feild , has a hotair balloon ever landed there or a hang glider
Taking off is no big deal, you have huge drop at the end to pick up plenty of airspeed. I’ve flown off lot shorter dirt strips than that . The hard part is coming and landing and stopping in time as it’s a one way airstrip. Density altitude plays a big part at that high altitude.
For gamers only (flight simulators) (not for those who insist on getting altitude-sickness, flying in without acclimatisation) = brakes, 100% throttle test-engine, release-brakes, reduce engine to 50% = main landing-gear touches down-slope, 70% throttle for minimal gyroscopic-effect versus thrust = flatter part of runway, throttle 80% to increase gyroscopic-effect = up-slope part of runway, main-landing-gear on upslope, aircraft stabalised to slope, air-flow stabalised to slope, 100%-throttle = throw furthest possible without flaps(structural-stress) and 5%-up-pitch trim(to avoid tail strike edge of cliff, to be done before brakes-release but explained here) = do-NOT pull yoke, let gravity pull-plane downwards, air-compresses under wings, air bouyancy will stabalise fall and throw plane forwards, do-NOT pull yoke, wait for GROUND-speed to be above 160kmh(motorcycle cruise, aerodynamoc efficiency), wait for ground-speed to be above 240kmh, check altitude
The difference in T.O. distances between the DH and the MU is significant. There's not much runway left after the Mitsubishi rotates. Density altitude probably doesn't change much season-to-season either. It's no wonder only a limited number of pilots have certification to land there.
I never see any jets landing at Lukla, not even small corporate jets, is it because of the runway, the altitude or the mountains around it ? Just wondering... 🙂🙂

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!
Great Video, thanks for sharing
Thank you🙏
It is fascinating to watch the takeoffs from the gateway to Mount Everest.....each one must be a feat in the surrounding dangerous terrain 🙏
Omg
Merci pour cette vidéo
Lukla is a wonderful place in this world. A awesome place.😏😏😏😏😏😏😏💜💚💙💜💚💙👍👍👍👍
Show . Tanks . From Brazil .
More like APCS, unless the Brazilian tanks are made for tiny Nepalese.
I remember the scene of the 2012 film
I miss the days when videos of prop-engined aircraft showed a blurred disc.
Slower frame rate cameras.
Oh you’re gonna fly, some!
Piloti grandissimi!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
swimming in thin water The air is not as dense as at sea level Respect!
ヘリポートが綺麗になっている
Ich war 1972 da, da gab es noch kein Asphalt, nur eine Gras Piste . Und geflogen wurde nur wenn es kein Nebel gab. Das war noch ein Erlebnis.
Lukla Nepal
Do those planes have nose wheel steering or are they steering with engine power
No nose wheel, it has two engines
@@mountainmate I thought so thank you very much. Always a pleasure to watch these beautiful aircraft at Lukla airport
The landings i imagine would be death defying.
what type of plane sare the last two
Dorniar and for passengers
The last two planes are Let-410.
You definitely wouldn’t be happy about any engine glitches on take off from that strip. Even a momentary hiccup in engine power..
Engines don't fail me now.
why don't they close that ditch at the entrance ?
oh, it will look less dangerous, got it.

With all the surrounding clustered structures , it is no better than a taxi stand in a remote town.

Looks like it. At take off, at the end of the runway, if you are not flying, you are flying :-)
A little gravity assist on landing helps
I bet a c130 could land there and take off no problem
You know the runway is short when the pilot back taxied for an additional 12 1/2 feet of runway.
On the positive side there are only two outcomes.
One interesting fact.. more than 80 percent of the people that live there have not seen a car
For gamers only (flight simulators) (not for those who insist on getting altitude-sickness, flying in without acclimatisation)
= brakes, 100% throttle test-engine, release-brakes, reduce engine to 50%
= main landing-gear touches down-slope, 70% throttle for minimal gyroscopic-effect versus thrust
= flatter part of runway, throttle 80% to increase gyroscopic-effect
= up-slope part of runway, main-landing-gear on upslope, aircraft stabalised to slope, air-flow stabalised to slope, 100%-throttle
= throw furthest possible without flaps(structural-stress) and 5%-up-pitch trim(to avoid tail strike edge of cliff, to be done before brakes-release but explained here)
= do-NOT pull yoke, let gravity pull-plane downwards, air-compresses under wings, air bouyancy will stabalise fall and throw plane forwards, do-NOT pull yoke, wait for GROUND-speed to be above 160kmh(motorcycle cruise, aerodynamoc efficiency), wait for ground-speed to be above 240kmh, check altitude
Do not laugh and pull yoke, at the same time
What is missing from this video is the helicopter operation!
Lol, in next video

I don’t think those are MU-2. They do not have tip tanks MU-2 all have.
Those are LET's, not Mu-2's. Totally diffrent aircraft.
Landing is more dangerous at this airport
１：１４テイクオフ機の離陸距離の短さたるや！！！驚きです！！！
Its not TRUE.
Misericórdia, ai é decolar para o suicídio!😱
Kjjklöj

Just wondering... 🙂🙂
Due to its short runway(525m), high elevation, and challenging approach and departure procedures.
@@mountainmate Ok thanks 🙂🙂
De da arrepios
imagine living there when most people around the big city's complain about the noise of airports.
The most dangerous airport in the world is....Princess Juliana International Airport in Sint Maarten.
The next most dangerous airports in the world top to bottom.
Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, Brazil
Barra Airport on the Scottish Island of Barra
Gibralter Airport
Gustaf III Airport on the island of St. Barts
Tenzing-Hillary Airport (aka Lukla airport) near Mount Everest
Saba Island Airport near St Martin is more dangerous, specially when the goats are on the tarmac...
