VH-KDK Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 "Thanks for the nice comments Martyn, I hope you get lots of enjoyment with KEGE. I wonder if that Navajo could get into the Gypsum Creek Ranch airstrip? I think the largest aircraft I tried during testing was the C208 Cheers, Jarrad" Jarrad asked this question on another post I made so a chance to try and land the PA-31 at Gypsum. 1. The first attempt coming in from the north after a flight to the Aspens did not end very well! 2. Second try taking off into a strong southerly breeze. 3. 4. Gear flaps and speed down and turning onto final approach. 5. Very blustery, the Navajo is all over the place like a mad dogs dinner(I will use the polite version) 6. Pull back on the stick speed dropping to 60kts and one side of the yoke detached from my desk. 7. Now half off the strip but plenty of runway left, trying to regain control. 8. Parked up and checking for damage. 9. So it can be done, maybe time to update my yoke, it is 9 years old! I will have to try from the north some when, a lot harder I think. Enjoying this scenery immensely Jarrad. Time for another flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
