Narrow runway

Pretty silly being right on the edge.   Nev

Looks pretty fake to me.

[RFguy]

looks pretty wide to me

[facthunter]

But exceptionally SHORT if you look at it that way. Nev

OK, so I looked at the whole video, not just the frozen picture in the post

yeah that is a bit narrow.

 

I wonder what the going was iike on the grass- IE if it would have appreciably braked one wheel,  (as to pull it one way) or was hard packed.

 

I wondered, wouldn't you be better off with all grass?   Maybe it takes  concrete for the takeoff to have a low enough rolling  friction to get airborne before flying off the cliff.

I would have used the grass as Keeping straight is all but impossible  No runway that Narrow would be APPROVED ANYWHERE. Dropping of the edge could damage brakes, tyres or wheel covers as well as directional control difficulties. Nev

Landing pad (over hill) may be wider than taxi way?

By the look of the tree covered mountains/slopes, looks to be a high rainfall area (tropics/PNG?) - sealed runway to be independent of rain soaked grass?

Hard to judge, runway sloped up hill, not just at the beginning/landing direction but the whole way?

Very little wind, but sock suggesting tail wind landing, which would indicate significant up slope - possibly a one way trip?😈

Wouldn't bother a Kiwi Ag pilot. Obviously a one way landing personal strip & the concrete is really only needed for reducing rolling drag for takeoff especially is the grass was wet & soft.

Ideal for a Europa.

Lotus Europa? Nev

[kgwilson]

I'll fly her in and Europa on touchdown.

Pilot's have a  smoother approach. (It is said).  I think it's the Uniform. Nev
