- Flying the Citation CJ4 into the 2nd highest public use airport in the continental US. This video shows the challenge navigating hazardous terrain as you proceed into a dramatic landing on runway 9. This is not the "working title" version, it's the real thing!

Seemed a perfectly reasonable approach to me,
Great view
Spectacular scenery. Good enough for the family photo album
Great Video!
Beautiful scenery!!❤️ South Africa.
It’s dangerous if you’re not prepared!
Loved flying into tex
I ve landed many times here...
On my MSFS😜
I agree with dangerous since it was a very, very shallow approach just above the valley.
Great Video!! can i use this as part of my series? you will of course be credited in both the description and video ❤ Have a great day!
Absolutely. Thanks
Might be a dumb question, but can you do this airport IFR? That'd be scary stuff
Yes but high minimums
I would not say crazy landing… it was perfect.
I remember it well !
The amount of video compression here is giving me a really uncanny valley heebee jeebees, it looks like MSFS too much
Hello there, is it okay to feature this video in our new aviation Episode ? it will be credited ofcourse :)
Sure
@@richyj14 Thanks a lot :)
🤷♂️ Why land now? There are so many beautiful mountains to fly over
Dangerous? How? For high-performance aircraft with correct all-weather capability, looks pretty easy. Does this approach have ILS or good precise RNAV?
it has an RNAV
Lmao because of wind. Insane turbulence and windshear etc with those canyons and mountains. Not to mention insane terrain at high elevation - extremely low margin for error.
@@danmoretti8898 It all depends on winds. Calm days, that's not a factor. The runway is situated pretty cleanly and I assume the Instrument Approaches are good with plenty of margin for Decision Height and MDA, etc. When turbulent, you increase your approach airspeed. If you have the "insane" turbulence you speak of, then go MA and head for the alternate.
@@michaelshelton7761 Sure, the winds make things more difficult. However, even on "calm" days you still have the potential for sudden wind changes close on final due to terrain - this has to do with things like mountainous leading edges that form turbulent zones. Secondly, windy and turbulent days are pretty much the norm in this region. Next, don't take it from me: actual pilots who actually fly here state that, when flying this approach for the first time, they "highly recommend" or almost even "almost require" that you bring an experienced mountain CFI with you, because there are a ton of dangerous terrain features that cause other turbulence problems and simply box you in, reducing escape routes. For instance, when landing to the west, you don't have much room to just easily "go MA" despite that being the "easier" approach. Going around requires a sharp right turn up against the bottom of a bunch of mountains - there's no room to climb above them, you have to just turn quickly and climb out over ascending terrain. Complicating things is the fact that this is the second highest elevation of any airport in the USA,
@@danmoretti8898 Dan, points well taken. Let me look at the approach plates and Takeoff Mins / Departures and get back to you. I haven't flown in years but I have a lot of instrument time and a lot of approaches, albeit very, very few into airports of this terrain and altitude.
Clickbait This is a good normal approach at Telluride, you got to know what your doing but not crazy by any means
A VISUAL approach is dangerous? LOL
No, but a visual approach at this altitude, with these surroundings, is definitely less safe than the same visual approach at sea level with flat terrain.
