Ze German short field landing.
|
Undershot, but got away with it.
Even then, it landed well before the marked Threshold. |
:eek:
Misjudged it big time. At 543 metres there should have been enough for him to make a full stop landing would it not? Assuming he was empty |
Oops! Very close to being very nasty.

The runway is by no means long at all, and the C-160 is a pretty large aircraft, hence why not touching down on the piano keys I guess, he was probably looking to touch down at the first or second arrows to be safe? :confused: Still misjudged it by a bit of a margin though, If I remember correctly, there was a Vanguard landing at a museum in the UK that did the same thing, (on a very short runway for its size as well) and when the pilots saw the tire tracks, they brushed it off with a laugh! |

The pilot was late for an appointment with his optometrist.

^^ Or early, given where he (tried to ) land...!! :D

Its a bit difficult to tell, but to me that road looks to be marginally higher than the end of the runway - perhaps why the Threshold is displaced further down. Just as well there was no fence and no vehicle was passing on the road too.
