(JERUSALEM POST) — Can you imagine how it would feel to zig-zag through the mountains as a pilot? Flying is not always a pleasant experience – and landing is probably the hardest part. However, if a routine landing can get nerve-wracking, think how you would feel if you had to land at the tiny Paro airport in Bhutan.

The runway is located in a valley surrounded by high mountains, some of which rise to a height of more than 5,000 meters. For this reason, it is considered one of the most dangerous airports in the world, and only about 24 pilots are allowed to land there.
What is more, the natural topography in the area of the airport means that it is impossible to land there using a guided landing system, which ensures a degree of safety. This type of system includes transmitters on the ground that transmit to receivers on the plane. In this way, they are used for both horizontal and vertical guidance.
