Actually there are few Twin Otters flying there. They are mostly a Chinese copy. I landed and flew out of there before the airstrip was sealed and it was basically boulders. Exciting but if you want to see some real flying do a search for videos on Youtube of Pilatus PC 6 aircraft flying in Papua New Guinea.
Its Called Lukla Airport. But in honour of the first Everest Climbers, it has been now named "Tenzing-Hillary Airport".
Believe me...thats an awesome sight..and once u land...u never forget to thank the pilot. These guys are really great! its like routine work. thye do it every day...
well if there was an eng failiure, atleast they can glide for quite a bit of time and try to get the eng started...also i'd like to note those insane up hill turns on the taxi way!
Actually, an engine-out is the last thing you want on this approach. Thinner air will not allow for desirable glides and you need power on approach. If faced with an engine-out, I would abort, turn it around and fly back down the mountain valley to the airport further south. No need to risk others' lives.
Imagne flying at night.

BTW, that was a hard landing.
