Landing at VRMM during the night is very chellenging experience, but in your personal opinion what airport is the most difficult to land on?

[lzd772]

Any airport that has a short runway, complicated non precision approach, high terrain around the airport and bad weather!

Glad to see you back from your long hiatus ! I would assume u guys have the same effect when landing in kansai.

[lzd772]

Not really. With those mega-cities lights, it looks like daylight!

Any idea?
