    Description

    This airport is a difficult, short (700 feet) runway located approximately five miles up Big Creek from Vines airstrip, at the confluence of Acorn Creek and Big Creek. The strip has a substantial upslope, ending in a slightly sloped turnaround area and a rock/dirt wall. The approach is blind and the runway is nearly perpendicular to the river. Typical approach is upstream following the canyon, with a left turn followed by a hard right turn to land. Pilots often touch down while still turning. Departure is a low, slow, hard left turn followed by a right turn downstream. For Super Cub type aircraft, upstream go-arounds are possible until the turn to final.  Operations are only practical in no-wind conditions.

    Fishing in Big Creek is generally good, and there are plenty of suitable camping spots.

    Being in a designated wilderness, this airstrip gets a lot of scrutiny from the Forest Service - please avoid excessive operations.

    • Cessna 185 Almost Prop Strike + Nose Over!!!

      Cessna 185 Almost Prop Strike + Nose Over!!!

      Just on my way home I say the 185 in the pattern and decided to get a video. Winds looked like they were a direct crosswind on the active runway blowing about 10-15 knots. Upon flare the 185 touched down quickly (most likely because of the short runway) and quite agressivly from the wind. The rest I am unsure of as the propeller seems inches away from hitting the gound. Scary to watch, but glad the crew and plane are ok.

      Let me know what you think happened in the comments.

      Real Pilot Story from the Field: No Go-Around - A lesson from the Backcountry

      Link to certificate of completion and ASI transcript: https://bit.ly/RPSNoGoAroundCert
      Backcountry flying is mesmerizing and rewarding, but it also presents unique challenges. For example, exploring a remote airstrip—especially a no go-around field surrounded by high terrain—requires that pilots conduct thorough briefings and perform extra planning before committing to the flight. Join the Air Safety Institute’s executive director Richard McSpadden in "No Go-Around" as he speaks with four experienced pilots who discuss lessons learned from a flight that went terribly wrong.
