Lukla Airport (IATA: LUA, ICAO: VNLK) is a small airport in the Town of Lukla in Khumbu eastern Nepal. Runway characteristics include 527m of bitumen runway. The width is 20m and the runway incline is a staggering 12%. No landing aids are available and Air Traffic Service is limited to AFIS (Aerodrome Flight Information Service) only. The airport is quite popular as Lukla is the place where most people start their trek to climb Mount Everest. The airport's siren blasts the mountain air to inform personnel of incoming aircraft. The paved tarmac is only accessible to helicopters and small fixed wing short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft such as Twin Otters or Dornier Do 228. There is about a 700-metre (2,000 ft) angled drop at the end of the runway to the valley far below. Thanks for watching.

  • This is playable on mac os right?

  • As far as i know yes it is.

  • lol almost lost it at the end there; I didnt think you were gonna pull up in time :P

  • Ja , i came in a bit too fast ,its not the easiest of landings and i only had the one shot for the vid as i was recording during flight .

  • Hey Man, need your advice. You have nice HQ vids. How... do I get them uploaded to look like that because my originals looks like this then get screwed up when I upload?

  • i think the reason why i can have them in HQ is because i record the vids in 640 x 320.If you record in 320 then you dont have the option to choose HQ. when you have recorded them in the higher resolution then just upload them and they will come out looking great. Thanks

see all

  • What kind of camera do you use?

  • i think the antonov 72 could be able to land here in real life too

  • Hey dude how u fly the plane?.?.?.?.?

  • @DetEJagDe Pretty simple: upper menu --> view --> click on "toggle replay mode" (fourth point on bottom)!

    Then, hold and move the little spot on the horizontal line or just click anywhere on the line! Then click the start knob (looks like start knob of a cassette recorder ...) and have fun! Try things out there!

    The best: watch you flights, landings, take-offs ... from each different perspectives and views you want, again and again!

    Write to me if you have any questions more! best, arno

  • @LordAlwinTHC Yes of course!! On mac, linux and windows!

  • @thepiarno How do i use replay mode? i don't get it... :(

  • Available on Mac Pc and Linux

  • Thanks for the advice BTW. I appreciate it. I need to play around until I find what works best. I have great software. Premier Pro CS3... but I have very little experience with it. I need to learn that puppy :)
