This is at LKFR.
76 feet difference in elevation between thresholds, 770 m runway. That is a 3% slope up. A little bit less than your typical ILS glideslope.
Please excuse my trembling voice in the video, the take-off was quite stressful to say the least.
Wow, some amazing airfields to visit So what IS the correct technique for touching down on a slope? I assume up is more challenging than down (in my humble experience anyway)?
Here’s Dullstroom (FADU) in South Africa. Quite a steep upslope, and b** narrow. Gave a good yank on the yoke but next time I will carry more power – it was “positive” short-field arrival. Stopping uphill is not a problem…
You get one shot – a go around would be challenging:
However it was worth it for the appropriately named restaurant
The departure in the other direction is initially uphill, over the hump, then steep downhill towards the lake. Trout fishermen watch out. Aircraft was skipping before ready to fly. Local advice was to fly attitude to avoid disorientation, with swift left turn to escape down the valley. Great fun!
