TOUGH MAN CHALLENGE
#5
By Ron Jorgensen
FS 9 HIGH ALTITUDE AIRPORTS FS 9
This is
strictly for HIGH
altitude landings/takeoffs. It is restricted
to single engine aircraft (Turbo’s
allowed ONLY if your favorite planes can’t make it). Oxygen is required
on any flights above 10,000'. Some times
it helps to only carry ½ or less than the full fuel load. WATCH your flap and speed settings this high
up. Seems like “lift”
is in short supply. If you
retract your flaps to soon you better have your wheels down. Touch-N-Go’s to the next field is not allowed that is unless you
don’t make it down the first try. You
must come to a complete stop at each location.

And here is a flight a little off
beat for a bonus using an Amphibian. I
used the C208Amphib. I tried a couple of
other small amphibians but could not get off the water. Your choice.
