LOL. There are no nightly flights. Almost all the flights arrive and leave during the early hours of the day.

@@Apache148414 He meant what if you had to sleep during the mornings when the airplanes are coming and going?

no

Occam’s Razor funny

Scary!

Do you mean 9N-AKZ? (Look from 2:00 onwards)

Jim Blalock they have horns

Actually, given the weather conditions that limit flight at times, there is. The Goma Air could've stood to wait a few more seconds until the Otter had cleared, tho.

Not necessarily, the money will always be relevant however this is more about the weather than anything else.

@@mil001able Good point...but...you don't sacrifice safety in any way for weather.

Yeah mate of course it's about the money, it's a business.

It's not about money, it's about...

seems to be stol planes?

Not all twin otters there are dornier 228s and let 410s aswell all are high performance stol aircraft

It's the only gateway to mount everest and base camp trekking.

@Colin Baker Well dayyum, Sergeant Baker here telling people how to enjoy with their money. I think you need to go out and get some fresh air pal rather than living in a virtual world

No chance for go arround here

Yes at approach. Not near and over runway (but if you really want - yoy have a little chance to make a left turn with jump over town and descending for speed increase over gorge. But extremelly bad landing is safier then attempt to go around)

don't know much about airport technology but as far as i know, there are no aides. I know this because there are no landings if pilot cannot see runway. There are cases of tourists stranded at this airport even a week due to fog around airport. I think atc of this airport is handled by just one employee.

no thats not everest. eversest is very far from here. you have to walk 5 days from here to reach everest base camp.

@@SHIIKHAR but those people who took that plane are bound for mount everest?

@@alfonsosoriano171 Yes. That's the closest airport to Everest and Everest Base Camp. And you need to walk for around 5-6 days to reach the base camp. But it is possible that the passengers are the local people who are returning to Lukla or Namche Bazaar

They are low mountains, probably with no names. If you walk for about a day and a half, you will get the first glimpse of Mt Everest as you ascend to reach Namche Bazaar (3400m), a major stop with a lot of outlets. From Namche Bazaar you will get a better view of the famous peak. However, if you climb about 500m, you reach Hotel Everest View (holds a Guinness world record as a star hotel situated at the highest point in the world) from where you will get a panoramic view of the majestic Himalayan peaks including Everest, Ama Dablam, Nuptse and Lhotse.

Yes, it's STOL (acctually UVP in Russian means STOL, even though it's Czech made). And unfortunatelly two of them have crashed there claiming 5 lifes :(

The runway is 527m This airport is usually busy because it is the gateway to mt. Everest (highest mountain in the world) famous for treckking

@@mrallmighty8104 FUCK OFF ASSWIPE!

Dornier Do-228

And the second is Let L-410 Turbolet,

It's true. Had to fact check it but it is believed to be the plane that crashed

I guess none haha

No

Good one !

DC 3, 747 or 380 can land there but not in one piece. They would normally call that a suicidal crash landing. If they need to land within the airport perimeter then they have to pitch the nose down in a vertical decent... even so, some pieces might spill out of the airport. Hope that helps.

@@perrinmichael4504 right. Even in cases of failure, the chances of a large plane landing in single piece is greater in a field than this airport.

Yes, but it is not a good idea (their motors at 2,8 km altitude is too weak for take off)
