Beech Baron landing at Courchevel Airport, France

[@golfcharlie232]

I landed in Courchevel last winter, with a Jodel D140 from l'Alpe d'Huez altiport, it was amazing ! I've seen some big twin turboprop aircrafts in Courchevel, and it used to have a direct flight to Paris flown by a Dash 8 with short landing and takeoff capabilities. Great video btw

[@4YaPloNo1]

old friend of mine is flying helicopters in the R.A.F ... wouldve been me as well had it not been for my eyesight...i have nothing but respect for the people that fly....as for this video? fantastic have never seen a better video on youtube....thanx fjghy

[@LadyFlusterbustle]

Wow hairy! Well landed Dr Rose. I skied past it yesterday and didn't realise how tricky landing a light aircraft might be.

[@elmirador77]

Excellent video.I´ve never seen an airport like that. I hope to have a chance to land and later a very short take off from there. I love the sky jump runway. Fantastic!

[@berndl]

Great video, interesting, good filming, good explanations.

[@Tedescman]

Wow!!! Great view frpm the airplane!!! Awesome airport!!!

[@youtrein]

Awesome landing!

[@underverser]

He's truly smashing the plane on the runway... AWESOME!!!

[@FullflapTv2013]

This is seriously amazing! We filmed a Baron 58 just missing the roof of a multi million pound house for our internet show. The guys has to do it everytime to land in the field behind his house.

[@a0p0a070]

wow. that was an ... interesting landing .

[@ivanflightn39am]

ok, great video pilot speaks great english and flies his aircraft very well!

[@BustaJonesGavin]

COOL SOUND QUALITY DUDE.

[@IMCOnAir]

my fully respect, not only for this pilot same for all air or sea captains challenging daily such tricky situations. If you would come from outer space you might say: These human beings on two feet are really crazy.

[@wingnutzster]

Fantastic skill and professionalism, truly inspiring flying - we have similar 'mountain slope' runways here in Africa where you end up parking higher up than what your approach altitude was, not only special aviators but special airplanes make these landings possible.

[@KarlH1980]

Nice posting of an interesting Vid.

[@koshermal]

"And now we're flying straight at that snow bank...." :P

[@356pilot]

Superb! Thanks for sharing. You made it look easy, I know it isn't...

[@piper550]

For all those bad landing comments....Short field landings are meant to be planted on, not caressed. The point is to get down and stop, so a 3 pointer is acceptable here. Nice job!

[@peanuts2105]

I have had a pleasure flight from here and I can promise you it is as alarming as he says, especially the snow bank on the threshold. This is coming from a glider pilot who knows about steep angles or two on finals! Happy flying

[@duragg]

Great landing. Gotta plant those ones firm.

[@CraigBMM]

very cool . thanks for sharing

[@Transam941]

That doctor has a great life! +1 for him. I would love to fly up there.

[@BeechSundowner]

NICE! Doubt I would ever land there!!! :-))

[@KeyToSucceed]

It shouldn't be scary if you checked the performance graph (aircraft manual) to see if you are in the safe envelope for take off or landing! All The Best Wolpjame, Chris from San Diego, ATP

[@kayakschoolmexico]

amazing landing

[@reyvinicio7269]

Pilots definitely got balls of steel!!!JUST WATCHING THIS I NEARLY SHITTED MY BRIEFS.

[@FlyingWing92]

Yes, I agree, especially the twin engined aircraft with all it's power.

[@GetOutsideYourself]

Wow, that looks crazy. Check out that snow bank lip right before landing. Still, to me, a non-pilot, I think there is less margin for error in the Lukla airport. There is no chance of going around there, you're in a deep valley, fully committed and the runway is shorter with a big mountain at the end.

[@djasperSR22]

Very nice video, but a shame for the quality. Could you reupload this vid? Btw, most beautiful landing spot in the world!

[@azimuth361]

That better be some GREAT skiing.

[@budmeister]

filmed in a helicopter

[@Lehmann108]

Holy Sh*t!! Talk about a high pucker factor on the approach.

[@ioaircraft]

That's just beautiful. Welcome to the average Alaskan flying daily.

[@MarcUlm]

great video 5 stars

[@wolpjame]

I've landed a King Air at a similar private strip in Wyoming. Departing @ max weight on a hot day at high elevation is much scarier than landing!

[@4lifeifly]

ooff! hard landing but hey, ya do what ya gotta do.

[@zbsr]

holy moly, what a ride.

[@faadar]

I know of a B200 that landed but.. he broke the wings so badly the engines touched the ground hell of a "Hard Landing" To recover the plane they had to saw off the wings remove the tail for the transport. After straightening the fuselage and a new wing from Raytheon the airplane flew again 2 years later!

[@tejavia]

He stuck it like he should for that field. You have to use your gravity and keep weight on wheels, - notice no bounce. Great video!

[@moeburn]

at first i thought that was just the sound of the helicopter they were flying in, but then it continued over the interview with the guy on the ground.

[@montbard]

Man, it is a one shot mission!!!!!

[@windycloud23]

BANG!!!

[@rafaelmdiaz11]

AWSOME FLYING !!

[@RobertGary1]

Not a bad landing, just a short field landing. The goal is to get the plane to touch down quick, not to land smoothly.

[@sumaikukan]

Super!

[@DoctorProperty]

Now that's a great pilot and a perfect landing.

[@andyshangar]

Good job!! ATP, 777-200ER

[@JSAirways]

what if u didn't make it all the way up the hill on landing? Would the plane have enough power to pull it's self up or would the pilot have to put in the parkbrake and let someone tow him up?

[@MoonZaboom]

Got to love that sturdy Baron undercarriage. Lucky he didn't bend a prop.

[@pilotwes247]

A wee bit bumpy @ 4:44-4:47

[@FlyingWing92]

Damn, when the pilot was just passing over the runway threshold it looked like he was going to rip off the landing gear. That was pretty damn close though!

[@KeyToSucceed]

I recomend not to go by automatic mode as the automatic mixture control compensation might not work in such a critical landing!( remember the old saying, if it can it will, just a matter of time) I would rather put my life in a standard procedure format in this case. All The Best mpjswart, Chris from San Diego, ATP

[@RollingHousesUK]

Respect!

[@FSim4ever]

WOW .... not bad ! ;=)

[@debiassi]

for those who criticize, you probably do your flying on flight simulator and get smooth everytime without the fear of failure. you clearly know nothing of mountain flying and in any event any landing you walk away from with the aircraft intact is a good landing.

[@Synaps4]

"It looks like we're heading for that bank of snow; which I suppose we are, really." NOT a comforting thing to hear your pilot say!

[@tomsamuelson8512]

Opening scene is a cessna 414 or maybe a 421 taking off?

[@Kortxero]

@tom080955 "No hump = bump into the mountain" (the slope sure helps to reduce speed).

[@TonyWilliams123]

I wonder what the first landing must be like..... serious pucker factor. Looks like fun, though.

[@moeburn]

how did you get the video of the ATC at the airport giving the plane that you are in clearance to land

[@MAYINSANTI]

....MY BARON 58 IS NOT READY YET!

[@Edoardo566]

Hello, nice video ! What would be the ground speed at landing at that altitude?

[@oatmealdog]

Cool

[@IairbusI]

what have you done in piloting?what license do you have?

[@Callabris]

that shuttering noise was pretty annoying to be honest. Besides that. That's a talented pilot

[@musico81986]

Is there anyway you can get rid of that static noise?!

[@Jackle61]

where exactly did you recieve your moutain airfield training? I know they don't just hand that certification out to just anyone.

[@IMER1112]

I've been there!

[@loftybutcontrite]

Sweet skill.

[@rangelso]

genius, tiny stripe of concrete in the middle of snow desert approaching at much too fast !

[@crapper1]

pilot who land here have major cahonies ans skill

[@efesair]

good landing. but strange field...don't know would i like to fly there...one shot only. but then, why not? :)

[@KeyToSucceed]

Great flying but there is one serious and potential risk in the pilots procedures, the airfield is at 6,500 feet and on his short approach he takes the mixture to full rich! This can pontentially cause a power loss at that altitude, not a very good idea!! I think the Doc. needs to rethink this. All The Best Everyone , Chris from San Diego , ATP

[@awesomeOMGman72]

No, he means they stopped, and they used a parking brake to sit on the runway, but they fail.

[@djknightmare666]

fair enough comment never knew that about the baron

[@vizi_david]

240 p, we met again...

[@jimmcc51]

Is this a roller coaster or an aircraft carrier?

[@JohnFleshman]

Is that the runway they used in GoldenEye? the buildings are not right but those could have been temporary buildings in the movie.

[@fibreoptik]

This is fucking EPIC!!! WOW

[@jonasbaine3538]

Even as a pilot I gotta say nope to this one. I’ll take a nice fast mountain drive to that ski resort instead

[@EryanMonteiro]

It's Helicopter !! :D

[@IVAOpilot]

respect in flight sim i need 4 approch's for this airport

[@TonyAirlines]

3:45 it seems like he's gonna fly right into the mountain lol

[@tom201090]

how do they get the fire engines and snowplows etc up there?

[@RunOutPro]

The same roads they use to get the pilots and passengers to and from the airport.

[@Jetpilot718]

What a pounder, damn!

[@SM-Flyers]

Definitely got the three wire on that landing

[@flyman639]

kaplunk! as we aviators say when you feel the gear strut go up your fanny...

[@peejay1943]

Anyone any idea what the hit rate is for Courcheval in real life? I mean are the mountains ahead or is it a close run thing?

[@viper8177]

@formber Me too! I'd prefer to drive their in a rear wheel drive car on British summer tyres LOL. The no second chances airport.

[@Angolaviators]

This airport is very very very very dangerous. The pilot didnt even land safe, but he landaded.

[@meow1990_2]

WTF?! A Ski slope runway? :O

[@bombardierdude15]

don't need the static noise

[@kidvid92]

@LockerzUnlocked Did you watch the video? Did you not see and hear the Tower Controller speaking? Or the reporter talking about permission to land? Best yet did you not see the CONTROL TOWER?! Come on Man!!

[@nissancubepartyplay]

hard landing :O

[@Apollo580]

Add throttle to the engines to get you up the hill.

[@BustaJonesGavin]

Yeah? And how about those non-helicopter shots? Just some crazy helicopters flying by while people are being interviewed inside a house huh?

[@IairbusI]

so you are a pilot?and you say he suck.ok,you are a weird pilot.Pilots dont say anybody suck,they encourage other.

[@ComradeDog95]

whats this airport called??

[@szymondworski]

It was filmed from a helicopter.

[@formber]

I think I would prefer the 6+ hour drive lol
