About This Content Tenzing-Hillary Airport (better known as Lukla Airport), the gateway to Mount Everest, comes to life in this stunning airport and scenery pack from Aerosoft. Lukla is known as being the first port of call for those attempting to scale this massive mountain. During the autumn climbing season, aircraft (mostly Twin Otters), only have fifteen minutes to land and take off again as there are only four parking spaces, making it one of the busiest airports in the world. It is also the highest airport with scheduled airline flights in the world. Flying into Lukla is dangerous and complex, even in perfect weather providing a challenge for even the most seasoned pilots. Pilots soon learn that anything you do at this altitude needs to be planned and considered. Landing on the uphill runway means you have to flare in a completely different way. Taking off from the very short runway may only be possible because the runway ends with a 3000 foot drop into the valley below, complete with waterfalls. Even taxiing is a complex process due to steep taxiways!Take your FSX: Steam Edition skills to new heights with Lukla X!Features: Tenzing-Hillary Airport complete with its short, sloping, runway at 9000+ feet.

This is a fun airport. The high altitude and short uneven runway makes for some interesting approaches. Some people say it is hard to land at but at least from my experience I have found it\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665easy. It is a decent price and even more so when it is on sale and has a medium-high level of detail. The performance impact is minimal too.NOTE: GA ONLY! You can not land a 747 there xDThe only downside is that I dont know of any good scenery to fly out of\/to for this airport (hit me up if you know of any).Overall good scenery though and a different experience to most airports due to the location.. WTF...........load, crash, load, crash, scenery is fubar ed. Dont buy it.. Hello! I am Christiaan. The Senery Is Wonderfull,but! the plane that the developer have choice is not compatible for this airport.It would be beter with a "Twin otter" or same type.This Airport need to be reach with powerfull planes with large wings so that the plane can maintain a low approching speed(75kts TAS).Planes such as: Cessna,Beechraft,Money Bravo and same type can not land on this airport because the minimum speed requiered is to high.Ex:appr-TAS:75kts=GS:90kts on 11500 fts.Lukla is provided With specific planes and pilots trained specialy for this runway(30 rotations from Katmando a day by normal weather!!!!
