    This airstrip is very challenging! I rarely fly it and the other airstrip in the Aerosoft Dangerous Airports Vol 1(mainly flying Mountain Air/Burnsville) but this is a good one to train on once in a while!

    Is it really that challenging ? It looks like a very conventional approach with no obstructions, the runway is pretty level and there's plenty of room for a go-around, if you turn right. Heat and altitude might be a problem, along with rising air currents at the cliff edge, but compared to some of the remote airstrips in New Guinea and Indonesia, it looks pretty straight forward to me. Easy for a Pilatus Porter.

    Yes, the runway is very narrow, uneven, and sloping. The real airport is quite treacherous. I have seen video of Cessna's using up all the runway and diving off the edge into the canyon.
