Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport is well known to pilots for its short runway and dangerous approach. The dramatic approach to the runway is completely out of site for the pilots until the last minute as they maneuver between mountains at a 45-degree angle before dropping quickly onto the runway. I love exploring hidden, never before seen locations, revealing exclusive over-the-top destinations and reporting on unique celebrity stories. I applaud the many talented pilots out there who make these successful landings every day. This is just one of the amazing experiences I have had traveling throughout the world, from blinding snowstorms and lightning strikes to heavy turbulence that injured our flight crew, and yet I always have remained calm and confident that everything would work out. Paro Airport is located deep in a valley 2,235 metres (7,333 ft) above sea level, and is surrounded by mountains as high as 4,900 metres (16,100 ft). Rosenbaure CFT is 2014 (6x 6), built by Rosenbaure Company in Austria and commissioned in December 2014. This airport is located on the beach in the shallow bay of Traigh Mhòr on a remote island. The airport is also dangerous due to strong winds, high mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. There is no second chance landing here due to the runway position, and pilots must make it perfectly the first time. At present we still have about 25 fire crews who have not received any formal basic training. The airport needed to be built on permafrost with the runway insulated against the ground so it will not melt during the summer. CFT-1 is a 1997 Crash Fire Tender built on a KAROSA/ TATRA-815 6X6 chassis built by Bhartiya Vehicles & Engg.co Ltd. of India, New Delhi and carries 8200 liters of water, 800 liters of 6% AFFF foam concentrate. Pilots flying to the airport have to worry about severe weather conditions as well as the rising tides. Out of 60 personnel, five crews are placed in Bumthang domestic airport, and six crews in Gelephu domestic airport.
It also features 1,000-foot sheer cliffs on both ends of the runway and strong vertical turbulence during winter months caused by the mountain winds. The chances of surviving a crash in the rear seats (behind the wings) was 69 per cent, compared to 56 per cent over the wings and 49 per cent at the front. This 5,500-foot runway is not really that hard to land at, but the city's main street intersects with the runway and has to be closed when a plane lands.
