I just finished Dick Karl's Gear Up column in the December 09 issue of
Flying. He continued his not-always-attractively honest reportage of
his journey in high end private flight in his Cheyenne. (It eventually
gets posted on the Web but for now you have to get the magazine as far
as I can tell).
Cheyenne - RV10 - whatever, this situation could catch the best of us,
especially if not familiar with airport. He got a difficult clearance
at a difficult moment and forgot to reset the power while thinking
things through. Definitely scared the crap out of himself. And it hit
many of the points that were discussed here over the last few days.
I've never flown into Lebanon airport but I have polished the
surrounding mountains and explored some of the narrow valley fields. We
once did a mass formation landing during a Region 1 glider meet at
nearby Montpelier VT's airport. While waiting for a tow out, I remember
wandering thru the terminal and seeing a giant granite wall welcoming us
to the granite state. Those mountains are tall.... and hard too!
Yeah, I know, it's just the east and I think it was daylight.
