Courchevel france airport
|
3:Courchevel (France)
Courcheval is the name of aski area located in the french alps,
the largest linked ski area in the world.It it,s airport has a
certain degree of infamy in the aviation industry
as home to a relatively short runway, with a length of 525 m (1,722
ft) and a gradient of 18.5%. It's so short that you have to land
on an inclined strip to slow down and take off on a decline to
pick up enough speed.
Who gets to land here? Well, Pierce Brosnan made the short
list. This was the airport used in the opening seen of Tomorrow
Never Dies. For the rest of us, private plane, helicopter, or
charter are the only ways to go, and your pilot is going to
need some serious training before he or she is allowed to land
at CVF.
