Utah Backcountry Flying: Eagle City

Description: Eagle City's runway is orientated east/west on the east face of the Henry Mountains. The east 500' is more rough and has a more rocky surface. Some errosion exists in the middle of the runway not quite halfway down from the east end. Larger rocks have been removed in recent years from users of the strip. Land west, depart east. Downdrafts on final can be common. Large rocks exist on the shoulders of the runway, so use caution when taxiing off of the runway surface.
Runway:1973' long x 30' wide dirt/clumpy grass strip in good condition. The strip has a 5.8% grade from the east to the west with a 115' gain in elevation over the length of the runway. Some errosion exists near midfield in the middle of the runway. The first 500' is a little more rocky and rougher. Large rocks and other hazards exist off the shoulders of the runway. Use caution when taxiing off of the runway.
Approach Considerations: Land west, depart east. Uneven terrain in the area can cause irregurlar winds and downdrafts. Use caution on final. Use caution for density altitude, especially in the event of a go around.
Amenities: Camping is available on the south side of the runway abeam the information sign. At least one rock fire ring was present.
Windsock: Yes. One located on the south side of the approach end of runway 9, the other on the northside of the approach end of runway 27.

You got that ASMR plane videos type of vibe which I like, I love Trent Palmer but he is too "hyped". This is the kinda of video I can fall asleep to. the ones I watch when I want to decompress. Keep them coming, IDK how long you have been uploading but you need to never stop. You will blow up soon

Wow. Thanks

An old crop duster likes that even with all that power to weight advantage you still stay in low ground effect until zoom reserve airspeed is developed for maneuvering with or without engine. Some day you will be glad you do that. "May you live in interesting times." an old Chinese curse.

Yup. Your right. Thanks for watching.
