Hi guys which is the best aircraft u recommend for high altitude flying? I mean the inhospitable himalayan terrain. I used the lear till now...but in airports like lukla(nepal) and thoise(ind) even the lear fails sometimes....

Any better options. I hardly fly small aircrafts thats why not too much idea of it.

Maybe try the Cessna Caravan and load it as lightly as possible.

I would pick the twotter over that but still better than a lear

Yeah, Probably a Twin otter or a Piaggio or maybe a Beech King Air 😉

any turbo twin, the twin otter is definitely a good choice. The lear is a buisness jet, designed to land at big airports and to be handled reasonably gently.
