The Dassault Falcon 8X continues to demonstrate its aviation prowess, further establishing its position as the flagship of the Falcon fleet.
The Falcon 8X, which is a large cabin aircraft was recently filmed making precision pin-point perfect landings at two high elevation airports: The Gstaad Airport and the Les Eplatures Airport in Switzerland.The feat was akin to the precision and agility required of a Swiss Watchmaker two bare hands.
Both these airports feature short and challenging runways. It was particularly challenging for Gstaad due to its location, which is situated in a valley surrounded by high mountainous terrains. For Les Eplatures, the challenge comes in the form of the runway length - measuring only 3,458 feet (1,054 m) - available for landing.
We let you be the judge of the Falcon 8X aeronautic prowess by watching the Falcon 8X land in these 2 challenging airports using only two thirds of the runway.
