A difficult back country approach revisited, 2013-U of I's Taylor ranch
This year's Islander early morning flight into University of Idaho's Taylor ranch. Flying with McCall (Idaho) Aviation. Canyon walls next to the wing tips, sun reflecting off of Big creek, and a wet grass runway. Who needs coffee for this? I sure didn't. (www.youtube.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Oh yeah. Wadda do about getting a wind check? Call ahead? Cross or down wind landings must be an extra bonus.
Easy answer. The wind almost always blows down the canyon. It is usually calm in the morning, with a stiff tailwind for landings in the afternoon. Best to fly to Taylor in the mornings. The ranch emails weather information to McCall Aviation or Arnold Aviation in the mornings when flights are scheduled.
Phil. You are a fucking idiot. My dad flies for a back country service and has Breen been flying the back country for decades. I have several hundred hours of back time and would certainly not fly into the back without getting current first.
Still a lot of smoke from the fires to the West.
Wonder what the approach looked like a couple of weeks ago'

The River Visual to Runway 19 at KDCA is a lot of fun, but this looks to be a real kick in the pants.
Climb out after a missed approach must be fun. I guess you just power up and go for the blue stuff. Brown stuff - bad!
