Flight from Montauk Airport, New York, Runway 6 to Block Island, Rhode Island, Runway 28. Full flight in a Mooney M20F. Recorded with 2 HD cameras. One in the cockpit and one wing camera.
We had to delay the flight a little bit due to dense sea fog at Block Island. In the video, you see some remaining patches of the fog over the water. The flight was conducted as VFR-flight (visual flight rules). For the approach, we loaded the RNAV (GPS) approach to runway 28 into the GPS-system to have an additional guidance.
Block Island Airport is challenging because the runway is not that long: Only 2500 feet or 760 meters. In addition, there is always a chance for a downdraft near the threshold of runway 28. The threshold is located at an elevation of 108 feet. Just in front of the runway, the elevation looks like about 0 feet MSL, rising sharply to 108 feet.
Montauk is located in the eastern part of the famous Hamptons, belonging to the state of New York. Block island is a favorite vacation spot in the adjacent state of Rhode Island. Block Island is reachable by ferry boat or small private and commuter planes.
