Why is Bhutan s Paro Airport known as the most difficult airport in the world to take off and land?

Reason 1: Topography and environmental factors:

Bhutan. It is a Himalayan mountain range located between our country and India.

A mountainous country with an area of about 10,000 square kilometers.

At present, it still belongs to the category of the poorest country, but I heard that the people of this country have a high sense of happiness, and it is also called "the happiest country", probably because this country is located between the mountains and mountains, and the living standard of the people in this theory is very low, a bit like the ancient seclusion in the mountains, living a life without fighting with the world, although the country of Bhutan does not have much money, but the biggest feature is that there are many mountains, it is basically difficult to see the flatland, and the highest altitude of its mountains.

Both reached 7554 meters.

Paro Airport was built in such a high-sea environmentIt is located in Parodon in western BhutanThe capitalThe city of Paro is very dangerous, surrounded by tall mountains, and the height of the sea is 2235 metersBut Bhutan's geography is so poor that it's one of the best places in the country to build an airport, and it's well known that airplanes are a special means of transportation.

Flying and landing in a mountainous area can seriously increase the risk of aircraft accidents, which is why it is known as one of the most dangerous airports in the world.

Reason 2: The driver's personal technical requirements are extremely high during take-off and landing, and the risk of accidents is high

There are two main ways of flight of the aircraft, one is manual control and automatic control, now most of the aircraft automatic driving technology has matured, the pilot only monitors when the automatic flight is carried out, and does not directly participate in the control of the aircraft, so when the airport pilot pilots in good conditions drive the lift, the ground console and some intelligent equipment will assist the aircraft pilot, and at the same time the plains are surrounded by the pilot and do not need the pilot to operate the aircraft to avoid the mountain, which greatly reduces the requirements for the personal operation skills of the aircraft pilot，But there are not such good conditions at Paro Airport, because it is located in the valley of the Paro River, and its flight is basically based on visual inspection, and can only be taken off and taken off under the visual flight of the pilotTherefore, flying in this place requires high standards for the pilot's piloting skills and coping and handling ability.

Pilots who fly here need to go through special training, and within a few seconds of takeoff, they must adjust their direction to avoid the mountain, and the pilot must not let the pilot have any problemsMissesIf you are not careful, you will crash into a mountain and bring serious catastrophic accidentsIn addition, due to the conditions limiting its runway length is much shorter than other airports, which also adds high difficulty to the landing of the aircraft, when landing, the pilot is required to fly in the valley to adjust the position to the runway after landing in time, otherwise it is also prone to accidents, according to public information, in the entire world there are only 8 pilots to have such conditions, it is conceivable how high the requirements for the pilot, it is precisely because of these conditions, This is arguably the most difficult airport in the world to take off and land.

Because the terrain of this airport is complex, the terrain is not very flat, and the length of this airport is also short compared to other airports, so it requires a high level of skill on the part of the driver.

This is because Paro Airport is located in the valley of the Paro River. Since Bhutan has very little flat land, the airport is like a stomach, like a pocket, and the flight is basically based on visual inspection. All aircraft flying to Paro Airport can only take off and descend by visual flight conditions and can only take off during daytime movements.

The airport is located in a plateau with a high altitude, surrounded by lofty mountains, the landscape of the whole airport is very beautiful, due to the complex terrain, the runway length of the airport is shorter than other international airports, the terrain is complex, the runway is shorter, which is very high for the pilot's driving skills and coping with the processing ability, which is known as the world's most difficult to take off and land at Paro Airport.

Although the temperature is low all year round, the temperature will still fluctuate, and the runway will be in an uneven state due to this. Due to global warming in recent years, the airport's runway has also been greatly affected. A project to "isolate" the runway from the ground has proven to be effective.

In addition, the extremely cold conditions also pose certain challenges to the take-off and take-off of aircraft.
