LOL did younotice that at 1:11 it looks like you are going to crash into the mountain? Great flying mate. Couldn't have done it myself

[captainmacleish]

lol sorry bud yer courchveval days over i cna go there easy though i i have a e90 also bought some rasibeck modification so i get bbetter paylod and more nm so its good my days running till i die lol

[middsteve]

Holy Snot...the whole video I was pulling back on the yoke trying to get the nose up and trying to add power, when I finally made out the runway,I was stunned.I thought I gotta see this!! Good flying guys (girls?).

[faadar]

if it was not for the marshaller I am sure you would have never made it!! very short landing though notice they were at taxi speed before the crest of the RWY where it bends in the middle. I will watch this about another 200 times before taking my Mooney there.

[BartGeerts]

For most people this won't make any sence, but landing a kingAir there is easier than landing a mooney or bonanza.... I went to Sion Yesterday with the 45. To bad I didn't have my camera, great approach....

[faadar]

guess you are right especially with the reverse pitch props, Does a 45 have thrust reversers. all good fun though

[BartGeerts]

yep, reversers and carbon brakes!! :)

[faadar]

also noticed you turned base at the tree with 5 pine needles on the top of the mountain, however did not see the tree on the approach plate. must be an instructors tip. sure you will never forget this experience

[BartGeerts]

I'm flying the Lear45 now. My Courchevel days are officially over...

[AirplanetvCOM]

And when did You have time to get the French Mountain Pilot License?

[BartGeerts]

@AirplanetvCOM

I trained with Robert from Aeroclub des trois vallees..... Crashed on a gletcher a couple yeras ago; Rest in piece my friend

[skybound38]

I'd rather be in a King Air than a Cessna. Approach speed nearly the same with two props in reverse...a king air will stop on a dime

[BartGeerts]

Yes, King-air Vref 100 kts; Cessna 55 kts... that's about the same.

[WakeUpDummies]

LOL!!!! ZING!

[captOrange1]

a master pilot, wow to land a king air in that airstrip

[Maltesevideos]

What an expert!

[iAmRogier]

Very nice landing.

[youngfart40]

this is the airport where the opening scene of the james bod movie, goldeneye, was shot.

[youtrein]

Very good landing ! Nice video!

[hotyute]

looks like he does flights for skier's there all the time

[windycloud23]

Great landing, quick, precise, firm. The guy must fly in and out of there all the time.
