## About This Content
“Gateway to Mount Everest” and “World’s Most Dangerous Airport” are certainly
the most commonly used attributes for Lukla – an airport that seems out of
this world.
There are airports that are higher (see Tingri included in this add-on). There
may be airports that have a shorter runway or an even worse upwards slope of
the runway. Others have a mountain wall at the end of its runway. What makes
Lukla standing out is its combination of all those factors in one single
airport!
Not enough thrill for you? Count in weather as a factor. No navigational aids.
Limited documentation of approach and takeoff routes. An uncontrolled airpace
with fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.
Bring your engines (and brakes!) to their limits by heading up the valley to
Syangboche, a bumpy airstrip located even higher and surrounded by rocks high
above a steep valley. Or try to find a helicopter that can reach helipads at
these altitudes or even land at the Mount Everest basecamp, located right next
to sharp glacier pinnacles between rock outcrops.
This package is a successor to “Lukla X – Mount Everest”, one of our most
popular sceneries of the past decade that has won many awards – among them the
Simflight Award. This new version is a completely new development setting the
bar even higher, coming with much more content than the previous version.
