És rádiónaigáció? ILS? Nem disznek van az sem... nézz utána mi az a CAT I-II-III A/B/C criteria. Miért költenek erre milliárdokat.
Ha köd van? Esőfüggöny? Ha lefagyott a pálya? Hol vannak az erre szakosodott szórók, hóekék?
Szép dolog ez a jóidőben háborúzunk csak, de akkor kis advekciós köd és mindenki marad a seggén?
"Highway strips have GPS-based RNP (non precision approaches) and at Joutsa LNAV minimum height was set to 120m with 1,500m visibility for training flights. For operational use, published minimums go down to 60m and 700m or even lower."
"
"Daily flight operations started after 0900hrs and lasted until 1800hrs. There were a few hours break at dusk and then highway strip operations continued in total darkness from 2000hrs to 2330hrs. Only temporary, small runway edge lights and PAPI lights helped pilots land visually in darkness until the aircraft’s own landing lights started illuminating the highway below. If these operations are challenging in the daytime, at night it is even more so.
The Joutsa strip is 20m wide, with 5m of gravel on each side and then it’s 7-8m metres to the nearest birch trees, giving pilots just a 45m-wide path, with the nearest buildings just some 20m from the centreline of the strip. When the pilot is landing at night, he cannot see the trees on either side and is landing in total darkness, trusting the runway edge lights to position his aircraft correctly."
"Training exercises require minimum equipment and staff to run the operations on site. In Baana 22, some 70 military personnel out of a total of 120 were conscripts and reservists. When the highway strip becomes operational, close to 1,000 military personnel can work around the base, most of them reservists. The air base will then have full anti-aircraft capability, protection forces, technical teams and all services that a normal permanent air base has. In these circumstances, aircraft are located at each end of the landing road on dispersed parking sites under camouflage nets. All maintenance, arming, engine changes and other support is done outdoors, also under camouflage nets."

És hopp, az Eurofighter sem esett szét:

(mellesleg teljes bombadíszben 700méter kell neki a felszálláshoz, A-A szerepkörben csak 300méter, ami megdöbbentő nekem)
FROM THE COCKPIT: LT COL TOMI BÖHM, COMMANDER FIGHTER SQUADRON 31:
"We can execute night operations from road bases both with the normal runway lights on and without the normal runway lighting but wearing night vision goggles. During night operations you have to do everything very carefully or otherwise you might hit the trees or other obstacles. On the ground the darkness makes everything a bit harder because there are no lights outside of the runway. Co-operation with the technical maintainers has to be wellorganized and the pilot procedures must be done in accordance with the standard operating procedure."
"‘During night-time, when the runway is wet or covered with snow and ice, then things get harder. In those conditions, landing after a combat mission with an armed jet can be an exciting experience. At night you are unaware of the runway conditions — and because of the surrounding wilderness there might be a moose waiting for you in the middle of the road. When taking off you are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.’"
