    When I was a kid, growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, there was a local band that played gigs all over town named Telluride. When I joined the Air Force after high school, my tech school was at Lowry AFB in Aurora CO. One weekend, some tech school buddies and I took a trip over to Telluride. OMG, it’s my favorite place on earth now. To fly into KTEX and land on runway 27 would be a bucket list item to this pilot in training. Congratulations! I’m totally jealous.

    In the early 1990s, I worked for Mesa Airlines/United Express at Denver Stapleton. During the winter ski season, it seemed like our B1900 flights to TEX had to divert to Alamosa almost more often than not because of minimums in TEX. The charter bus companies did very well by us. I think they eventually dropped that destination.

  • @jaunty17
    @jaunty17 6 лет назад +4

    Nice vid! Just to avoid confusion, though, this was not a circle-to-land approach. They cancelled IFR on arrival. So it was a visual approach. Circle -to-land is an IFR approach using nav aids to reach minimums on the opposing runway to the one you land on. At minimums, you steer 45 degrees left or right, then follow the downwind heading, maintaining constant visual contact with the runway, then turn in for your final. That’s obviously not what happened here. Still, a nice vid and a great place to fly!

    • @FlyingTexas
      @FlyingTexas  6 лет назад

      jaunty17 You’re correct. I’ll edit the video description when I have access to a computer. (Currently only mobile)

    • @jaunty17
      @jaunty17 6 лет назад +1

      Well, if you're going to change the description I should correct myself as well. I said it was a "visual approach", but actually, that is also an IFR approach, where the call-out "established" is replaced by "airfield in sight", whereupon ATC gives you clearance to land the RWY and sends you over to the tower. None of that happened either, again, since you had cancelled IFR on arrival. So it was really just a normal VFR approach, with, I suppose a left base join?

    Just like in poker, you've got to have a King Air or better just to open in this situation. Wide open approaches, but the field elevation is higher than the highest cruising altitude that I've ever flown at on even my longest cross country flights. Non turbine aircraft need not apply. Nice job.

  • @billyost1479
    @billyost1479 6 лет назад +1

    It 'appears' a bit easier than say, Homer Alaska or Kodiak Island.
    Now those places have peaks drops and very high winds.
    One time it took me three consecutive round trips for refueling just to land once on Kodiak Island Airport. You can only land from one direction and chances are the air current will also being going the same direction often times exceeding tail wind approach and landing maximums. Add to that is the very very likely fact the if the tail wind is absent... you can be sure that the air coming over the other end of the Island is a low cloud bank. In which case makes it impossible to land considering while I was stationed there... they didn't have an ILS system. When they finally got one it made little difference as any professional pilot will tell... " You can't land on what you can't see, especially when the end of the runway ends near a small mountain.
    I also had to make several landing attempts at Attu in a C-130 only to have to turn back either to Kodiak if the weather was clear or further north to Anchorage.
