- Flying the Citation CJ4 into the 2nd highest public use airport in the continental US. Most approaches are conducted to runway 9, but this video shows the challenge navigating hazardous terrain as you proceed into a dramatic landing on runway 27. This is not the "working title" version, it's the real thing!

I landed a Pilatus PC-12NG on Runway 27 there, and it was a challenge! Nice video and well done flying the approach. But the REAL challenge at Telluride is the Localizer RWY 9 approach followed by a missed approach. You are in the clouds and cannot see the 14,000 foot mountains ahead. Looking east in visual conditions reveals that you are flying the miss towards a U shaped chain of mountains well above the elevation of Telluride. This means you had better fly the published 180 degree climbing turn missed approach perfectly, or else...
That’s a hell of a precise non-precision approach! You made that look incredibly easy and it’s definitely not! Great work!
The aerial views are absolutely stunning. An incredibly beautiful place to be. Great piloting.
RJ gorgeous scenery, nice flying and great video. Hope the parking help gets better.
Landed there in A100 and B200 King Airs several times back in the late 80s. Back in those days, before all the explosive development, you could come right over Black Bear pass, a long, low-power glide at 140 KIAS and land straight-in if nobody was comin' the other way. Very steep descent but the King Air handled it w/ aplomb. The dip in the middle was MUCH bigger, then, so you had to chase the runway down and be _sure_ to be grounded before the runway started climbing. Always glad to be down, very exciting flying for sure. Followed by a week of skiing or driving / hiking the high country, loved being there.
Takeoff in the A100 was like a carrier launch, great initial acceleration followed by lackadaisical climb. B200, lackadaisical acceleration but great climb once you passed the opposite threshold. The dip seemed to be helping acceleration, but once airborne, the runway followed you UP. It was rare to be higher that a couple hundred feet AGL before going off the cliff added a thousand feet (temporarily). Always thought I'd have to fly down the river canyon in a single-engine situation, probably for miles.
I came down Black Bear Pass in my side by side.... That was a thrill too... I may be out in my little ELSA this summer. I will definitely look forward to landing here. This is a towerless airport?
Nice. Was mystified by the back taxi until I saw the airport layout.
What a beautiful landing.
Super cool, thanks for sharing! Colorado is incredibly beautiful
I helped to repave that airport hauling asphalt back in the mid 2000's! Telluride is a beautiful area.
Sure is. The runway still looks great!
@richyj14 Thats awesome. I guess us truckers & the construction crew did good, eh???👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. My cousin landed there in a Sikorski UH-60 Blackhawk that he was working on a couple yrs back. Got to meet up with him for a bit then he & his crew flew up to Washington state!
Looked perfectly fine.
Holy moly that’s exciting. I’ve driven around Telluride numerous times (Last Dollar Road) but it’s a whole different view up there
Thank you for sharing your landing here!!! Really nice!!!
Thanks for watching!
@@richyj14 You are welcome.
Wow, you took her out of autopilot on downwind. Then, 180° of left turn. And then down to the ground like a baby. What an approach.
You guys and your crazy flying machines!
It is even more exciting coming in from the north… You actually fly through canyons in the mountains or above you… Beautiful…
Nice flying, Rich. I have never seen a CJ4 land RW27 ..... not for the faint hearted. Pilots who are not familiar with the airport won't appreciate this video. I have landed at TEX many times on both runways in a Saratoga. Coming in to R27, you have to be very careful to not get near the ski slopes straight ahead of you on the dwnwind or the Telluride police will be meeting you at the terminal. Be careful out there, folks.
And the Telliride police would do what for overflying a ski slope while landing?
If you buzz the slopes, they'll cite you.@@lawman5511
Nice approach
Beautiful, thanks 😊
I've landed a BeechJet and a Phenom 300 on Rwy 9. We weren't allowed to use 27 except for departures. Now I understand why. It may be fine for pilots who fly into Telluride often but at my company we may only see it once or twice a year.
Where is runway 9?
@@bobbys4327 Same runway as 27, just going the other direction.
@@darrylr.4983 👍
Perfect rollout (w/o the AP). Nicely done.
That was an excellent short field landing for that aircraft. When I landed there in my 50kt Kolb in 2014, I touched down right at threshold and turned off at the first entry point. Very memorable flying country, wouldn't have missed it for anything..
What was the DA? How well did the Kolb perform and where did you depart? Would love to do that.
@@mikeryan6277 DA was 10,500ft as indicated by the live sign at the runway entrance. The Kolb performed well, little difference noted. Climbed on up to 13,500ft where it got too cold and slow climb to continue. That was a FireStar with Rotax 503, carried around the country in a trailer. Flew out of 50 airfields on that trip, as shown in the blog - JC's Flying Roadtrip USA 2014.
@@STOLSPEED so cool. Definitely a bucket list item of mine
That wasn’t a short field landing. It was a normal approach.
What an awesome senic spot, I would love to go there just to see for real. Wow its beautiful and a cool smooth landing easy pizzi. Many thanks and God bless.
WOW !!!...I love it ! ♥
tight left traffic hugging the ground...awesome job. 🛬
Right on the numbers, well done!
In VFR CAVU I have trouble thinking of the 27 approach as "challenging", let alone insane. Still this is a beautiful spot and a very pretty approach indeed. Thanks for sharing.
It isn’t. Just another 7,000 foot runway. I flew the 182 there a couple years ago.
Clear sky and a light wind from the west.
A 182 800 pounds under gross isn’t much of a challenge to land anywhere.
Never did see any ski slope police for over flying the ski slopes.😒
That's a very scenic approach.
Nice video. Got married there near bridal falls back in 2021. I love that area of Colorado! I don’t think I’ll be up there anytime soon with our 150hp C-172. We will stick to Ky.
Greaser!!
Just f-----g gorgeous landing. Bravo!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing job by the pilot flying!!!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
Sure no problem
Thanks! I found it from Weekly Dose of Aviation!
Thanks for letting me know!
When you pulled off the runway I was wondering where the 'Follow Me' dude was. Looks like it was a real busy day
..many thanks for sharing..and that was really.. one heck of a ride..and landing.. and please..keep 'em coming..
Thanks
That's one runway you don't want to land short.
Try the Sedona Az airport. It’s known as the SS Sedona.
@@jimarcher5255 SGU used to be like that before they built the regional airport.
What a beautiful place!!
Beautiful landing❤️
2:20 im just a flightsimmer but this is one of my favourite apps to fly beside innsbruck and aspen. ty for confirming that you cannot fit the baseturn before that treeline where the terrain start to creep up you need to go over that line and start the turn promtly after. you just need to go well over that dubious terrain to line up properly. nice video
Not an app, real life
@@richyj14 i assume app is short for approach.
Possibly or airport or app.
@@richyj14 you jokin :D ? so you just uloaded this you not the PF ?
@@kbuss10Huh? Yes I’m the person flying.
A bit like Sedona, where "short" puts you into the side of a big old Mesa/Butte!
Beautiful places...
The terrain is so beautiful that I was hoping they would fly around a little bit and land later
Check out my other video czcams.com/video/wdJggsOve0g/video.html
Pilots really do have the best views from their office. 👍🏼
What were the winds? That downwind-base-final turn looked sporty!
Reminds me of Purgatory way back in 70's Take the Bonanza from ABQ then go back stop at Taos , these are some of the Best ski areas !
Awesome!
Tpp cold for me. I'm staying here in the Monterey Bay area of California. But I've always enjoyed flying.
Good landing
A great pilot told me that’s the scariest landing in the US. That and Aspen.
Aspen is more difficult for sure
Nice
Looked normal here, whats' the big deal? Nice job
OH OOF they sent you to land on 27. A pilots worst nightmare when flying to telluride!
Because the have to turn around at the end and travel all the way back
I might not have gone to Telluride if I has seen this first. 😂😂😂😂
I did it a number of times in a Lear 35 but never better than that!✈️😎
Thanks
Been there, done that...but my viewpoint was from a passenger's seat.
😅
Guessing the pucker factor on this CAVU arrival was about a 3 (on a 10 point scale). 😉
I have landed this runway on my flight sim.feels exactly the same.
Right over my house at 2:32
I’d like to fly my plane into telluride. Looks like fun place
Very good job.
Thanks
Very interesting, Asobo still has some things to fix in the mesh arouynd this airport and snow textures also need to be improved, the ground effect when landing seems to be a bit off too. Oh wait...
Look out…. For what? Fox going across the runway? Fuel truck forgot to engage the brake rolling off the tarmac over the cliff and exploding? Idiotic passenger on her cellphone blasted away from the jet wash? The scenery outside the windscreen?
Telluride great for skiing, hiking, 4x4 over Bear Pass and the mushroom festival. Nice landing!
Clickbait!
All of those things, but especially the terrain
Didn't you see the gas truck that pulled out directly in front of them?
Awesome shot! Can I feature it? Credited on screen and with a link back!
You bet, thanks
Don't lock a tire up on that runway or it'll be junk lol
Let's see, why don't we put the runway over there ...
Great video! can i use it as part of my video for a series im doing?? you will be credited in the video and description ❤ thanks!! 👍
Yes, no problem
Why do you need to put such a hysterical, even manic, title over what's otherwise a nice enough video?
Tried this so many times on MSFS in the longitude and massively screw it up each time lol
Oh man losing power in that vicinity would be... interesting
Wondering how much gas you burned taxiing around looking for a marshaler.
If you’re in a 1972 Skylane, , just park next to the most expensive looking jet. Someone will arrive shortly and direct you to steerage,.
Now add some weather. Sucks
Did not appear dangerous to me. But I’m from these Colorado areas and I guess it doesn’t phase me much lol
Butter
Was that a Fairchild Metro III making a cameo near the end of this clip?
Yes
Impresionante y muy bien. Aunque con mal tiempo y de noche sin instrumentos. Nada que hacer.
What are you talking about? That was greased.
Energy Management.
He should have made that U-turn to the right, and he wouldn't have hit everybody on the ramp with jet blast.
Aspen is great challenge.
MSFL pilots I see you there and I know what you are thinking.
There is nothing "insane" about this landing. It was a standard downwind traffic pattern entry (left traffic), gear down abeam the runway, and a nice turn of (about 20 degrees of bank), with a perfect rollout on runway heading. Nice touchdown too. Perfect VFR with little or no wind.
Who labels these videos? It's goofy and misleading to call this insane.
Wow ... I think that the name of this plane should be 'Church' ... 'cause there must be a lot of praying going on in there! Just amazing!
Looked routine to me.
It’s a short runway & over shooting is very possible
so the "500" callout at 3:50, is that 500 above the terrain or 500 above the field elevation?
500 feet above the terrain immediately below but that comes from the radar altimeter. Have to be very careful of those in instrument conditions when you have fast rising terrain like in this case from the valley floor. Certainly wasn’t 500 feet above runway elevation at that callout. There have been some well publicized accidents of pilots incorrectly relying on the radar altimeter in mountainous environments to their peril. That callout comes from the EGPWS system, essentially the terrain avoidance system. Obviously in this case it was VFR.
I am surprised they don't have a 3 wire on this runway. But then again I have never seen a civilian aircraft with a tail hook.....but still....
Don’t aircraft carriers have 4 wires?
@@richyj14yes.. but is practice to catch the 3 wire.
Sexiest landing ever
They really don't use many hydrocarbons compared to the rest
Mr Pilot. By any chance are you from Tennessee
No sir
Night time best....
And why is that insane? Perfect for a student pilot…
Ha
Looks like it’s going 10 mph
Must be nice to be a 1%’er.
What is so insane about this landing?
I'm curious just how long that runway is. It looks to be about 8000 feet.
7111 feet
@@richyj14 Thanks.
Insane? Looks more like a good landing on a beautiful runway. Tube titles are ridiculous.
wow is the really the best place for a landing strip? /boggle
I mean... a lotta people live there and they're tucked well into the Rockies... Where would you put it? lol
Runnin them drugs from old Mexico way, I landed in Telluride then in San josed
"hazardous"? Where?
A bit flat, but still cool. I would have aimed for the touchdown zone, definitely not the numbers.
Where’s the runway
Why it's look so real?
It is real that’s why. 🤣
