## About This Content
Tenzing-Hillary Airport (better known as Lukla Airport), the gateway to Mount
Everest, comes to life in this stunning airport and scenery pack from
Aerosoft. Lukla is known as being the first port of call for those attempting
to scale this massive mountain.
During the autumn climbing season, aircraft (mostly Twin Otters), only have
fifteen minutes to land and take off again as there are only four parking
spaces, making it one of the busiest airports in the world. It is also the
highest airport with scheduled airline flights in the world.
Flying into Lukla is dangerous and complex, even in perfect weather providing
a challenge for even the most seasoned pilots. Pilots soon learn that anything
you do at this altitude needs to be planned and considered. Landing on the
uphill runway means you have to flare in a completely different way. Taking
off from the very short runway may only be possible because the runway ends
with a 3000 foot drop into the valley below, complete with waterfalls. Even
taxiing is a complex process due to steep taxiways!
Take your FSX: Steam Edition skills to new heights with Lukla X!
