But after you land, where do you go

Along that road out the bottom of the picture around the bottom of the fjord to the town of Ísafjörður which is not far out of view on the left.

Isafjordur town. It's like a mile up the road.

The aircraft backs up using thrust reversers

[–] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Usually you do a 180 rather than reversing blind.

Don't runways that are set up for the 180 have a bulge at one end?

[–] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 4 points 20 hours ago

Depends on the size of the plane. For bigger jets, yes, but for smaller planes the width of runway you need to do a u-turn is about the same as the width you need to safely land of a gust pushes the plane a bit sideways.

I thought you were going to say backs up then takes off again
