@MrIssues2 Regional Airlines (a subsidiary of Air France), with their now retired Saab 2000.

what a short takeoff roll

[watthehell1023]

lol, the approach angle seems a bit steep :| were they a bit too high?

[irishrover63]

@watthehell1023 The approach angle at this airport is 5.5 degrees instead of the usual 3 degrees in most larger airports. It is a STOLport (Short Take Off and Landing).

When was this video taken? I thought the RWY's at LC were now 09/27?

[golfcharlie232]

@alex2mitch A few years ago. You now have a taxiway on the eastern threshold, south of the runway, used as a holding point to reduce delays as several aircraft can now backtrack and then hold while others are lining up or on the approach.

[alex2mitch]

@golfcharlie232 I know :) K,L,M are the holds used to reduce delays so they can backtrack 3 at anyone time, something EGHD could do with to be honest. Very good idea and very effective. Oh and just realised it must have been taken a while back as the eastern apron isn't there nor HP D.

seems like the plane is light...

I love this airport on the sim. I need to get back over there.

@KevishScot Regular flight. I put it in the wrong order but that made more sence to me. Landing was first, then take-off back home ...
