"... one of the faster..." Nice understatement! TBM 850 (and recent TBM 900) is the fastest single engine turboprop in the world!! Good video - keep on sending more!
Hello. If you play MSFS you can also try other, and smaller, runways in the area like La Tovière, Le Palet, Val Thorens or L'Arpette (add-on). I have the luck to often goes there IRL as a passenger but it's also fun with MSFS.
Beautiful video and great landing! My next Flight Simulator "How To" video (upload date is October, 2020) is an RNAV/IFR flight from Nice Cote d'azur to Courchevel. This simulator is so cool for VFR flights. Cheers and blue skies!
@Kappa In most cases, the answer is NO, but if you had enough speed and altitude above the airport and surrounding terrain when you decide to initiate the go-around procedure, then maybe. If you're on short final and already configured for landing, then you have to commit to landing because the rising terrain will most likely exceed the aircraft performance required for the climb out. Without going into all of the calculations and environmental factors related to mountain flying ... you're better off putting the aircraft into a snowbank at the end of the runway than to plow into the mountain off-airport where the possibility of survival is slim to none.
oh the "trick" is more complicated than that. Multiple things make this spot challenging. The angle of the runway, and as you approach there is no ground, so estimating your altitude and glide slope is a lot harder. The fact this is 6 000 feet in altitude also means there is less pressure, which means less lift, so you have to be careful not to stall, plus the altitude can mean a bunch of challenging meteorological aspects too. You need a special license to be allowed to land at Courchevel.
Just completed a detailed Flight Simulator flight in the TBM930 landing at the Altiport! Acknowledged Alpine Airlines in the video. You can see it here th-cam.com/video/qzhgSjRzoNE/w-d-xo.html
Can only imagine how beautiful it must be to fly in the alps
It's all fun and games until your engine quits. :)

Well....the fastest CERTIFIED single engine turboprop in the world. Mike Patey and Turbulence would have words to the contrary.
@@TheRealCFF Haha, I was just about to mention Turbulence. What an absolute monster that plane is.
Mike has sold it now...
@@TheRealCFF what about the Epic E1000
@@daniell1869 Did it exist eight years ago?
@@angela1984a no clue but you commented on my comment from 2 years ago 😆
Ski jump for the people and airplanes.
This is insane, I tried to land there on FS2020 many many time and on this video I recognized everything like I already visited this place :o

Perfect touchdown!
Who's playing this on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020?
On X-Plane, sorry :).
ı play it in fsx
P3Dv4, just landed there :D
meeeeeeeeeeee i love it
I`m, but i can`t find charts, anyone can link it for me?
It was not the first lesson, of course, and nor it was the first airfield. Very beautiful video. Thanks
Stunning mountainous view!

Final approach 4:10
Appreciated!

is this the airport in that James Bond movie?
J'adore je partage sur nos médias sociaux : Leo Trippi & Co.... Merci beaucoup.
It's like "Make it or brake it", ha?
Very impressed.
Looks really fun
...great plane...great job.....but the rugged mountains and weather give us so little room for error...
Because of the rising terrain, there is no go-around procedure either... so better bring your "A" game to this airfield!

850 takoff and landing is 700+ meters. And this airport has 525 meters. How such planes are capable to land and take off?
Epic!
Trick is to keep the power on as you land... I would guess
and a accurate glide slope slow descent rate but low approach

la qualiter est tres basse
T'as vraiment utilisé toute la piste...
we pay for the runway we going tu use the holl runway

Pilot didn't have much to say.
Quem tá aq pelo MAXMRM
TBM = tunnel boring machine! Oops, wrong TBM.
Honestly, it looks way worst taking off than landing.
Yeah it didn’t look like it took off much; more like ran out of runway! Yikes!!!🥶
