Delta Virtual Airlines CHALLENGING RUNWAYS
Some approaches and landings are more challenging than others. Whether it's the geography, typical weather or just the nature of the airspace, touching down safely and precisely can be a real test of a Pilot's abilities. Over 20 years, here are the most consistently challenging runways at Delta Virtual Airlines with a minimum of 10 - for Pilots, are they places to avoid - or perhaps to seek out?
