I don't know whether they are still flying, as I think Tyrolean have either been taken over or ceased ops - certainly i have a recollection that something has happened to them

[Garry Russell]

I think is still exists as Austrian Arrows or something (Austrian Regional)

Not too gennned up on that country

Well.. it IS all downhill Tony so the runway is from where you're parked there to the bottom of the mountain!

Having looked at those, a full explanation is given of the approach ( which from a terrain clearance point of view is even hairier than the landing ) in this film of a Baron : -

There's a similar stepped, sloping runway in the Himalayas at Lukla, Nepal, which I think we've discussed before. It's the dropping off point for Everest expeditions and onward travel to Base Camp is by helicopter. It's at 9,000 feet and in answer to your next question, no, I've never managed a successful landing! :roll: This is payware scenery by Aerosoft but in mitigation it was on special offer at the time
