High mountain flying & landings

INDIA - Heavy Monsoon

The Indian National Cadet Corps operates more than 100 Zeniths:

Disaster control:
the state of Arunachal Pradesh (and Butan) has been hit hard by the monsoon.

Now the weather has cleared but all choppers are busy with SAR, so you are to fly a CH701 along the promontories of the Himalayas to check for landslides and flood damage in cut-off regions.

Something only the Zenith can do: land on meadows, river banks, village roads, soccer fields etc. - definitively tough going (Pipu-Dipu and other jungle clearings 30° slope, see pics)

PLN is from VQBT to VEPG with some fuel stops, once you have to make it just over the nominal service ceiling of the 701 (12.000ft).
