Cessna 172 Bush Landing in the Alaska mts

August 22, 2009

Landing my 172 in a cool spot out in the bush. Nice long stretch of a 4 wheeler trail I found to land on in the Talkeetna mountains, Alaska. Its nice and long, about 900 to 1000 ft but its at 2950 ft elevation which limits performance. Also you have terrain to outclimb on both ends.

Duration : 0:2:23

    yeah i dont think the old oleo’s are very good for this terrain, probably why most pilots up there go for a conventional setup. that and you can flare as much as you want with a conventional, no tail strikes to worry about!
