That's not an emergency landing.

This is an emergency landing:

Skip to about 4 minutes in.

That "plane" is a Sabre trike, it stalls in the low 20s IIRC. Try
that same spot in a spam can and he wouldn't have lived to tell his
tale.

This is Courchevel, in the *French* Alps. So much for dumbasses on
youtube and ignorant journalists.

Too bad about the comments, but, this is an interesting video. Pretty

I can't even figure out WTF this guy was trying to do! Aside from anything
else, the driver in the car had to have been a bit worried about getting
chopped up if it all went wrong..

Oh man, you're right about the comments - what a prick!

Second one I assume was supposed to be an emergency landing;

if it was, it was th ebest one of all time!

Lucky he had a cool camera operator too..

commenters on youtube have been far more polite and insightful than
members on this newsgroup for ages now.


That's a very rude thing to say.

And that's the wussy airport! Meribel, nearby, is even hairier. I
haven't been to either "field", but I know someone who regularly flies
out of Meribel in a Jodel on skis. If I remember correctly, there is an
alarm in the clubhouse and if anyone lands and doesn't make it to the
top of the hill they all run out and grab the airplane before it slides
off the side of the cliff!

The runway length is in meters, so 1300ish feet isn't too bad, but the
elevation ups the ante on that...

You have to have special authorisation to fly there which means training
by the local club. I believe the same applies for Courcheval.

I couldn't find any youtube stuff on it.

I read about that airport once. You need special training before
you're allowed to use it. The high end of the runway is higher than
the pattern altitude.


Well, I believe you make the approach from mre or less level flight.

And these are the details for Courcheval.

You believe wrongly.

There are those who comment about piloting without ever having piloted a
real plane, and then there are those who comment about alitports withot
ever having seen one in real.

Correct spelling would certainly help.
