I thought Aspen was exciting.
Why do I feel like I've been Rick Rolled?

Go fly floats in southeast ak! ;>
Do they put A320s on floats?
Single engine in a thunderstorm.Flew that approach in my flight simulator like a million times. Cakewalk.
I think so ... someone on this very forum has that as their avatar!
But anyway I dunno. I don't get it. Now, if that were an IMC approach to minimums, sure ... but otherwise an airplane is an airplane, and that just looks like flying to me. I think yall big iron pilots must have become spoiled with your 160 mile final approaches. ;>

Depends on what you fly. I have never flown up in Alaska, unfortunately, and give you guys some serious credit for that. But you have to give these guys some credit for flying that approach at around 130 knots with a need for 5x the runway.
Screw you buddy, I did this one last month: http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1208/00610VG13LR.PDF

I've never flown a building, so this is merely conjecture. I imagine that maneuvering is something that can be visually judged pretty easily just like any other airplane. It's the engines that I see as the challenge. They don't respond quickly. Energy management seems to be much more crucial when you get into the big stuff. If you're too slow, it's not going to be corrected as easily as say, a piper cub. I seem to recall that the MD-11 in particular takes more than 5 seconds to spool up from flight idle. I'd take a guess that you'd be smashing into the ground just short of the runway if you got it wrong.
