Samedan in a DA40 TDI

The airport of Samedan (LSZS) is the highest airport in europe (altiports excluded). It is in a valley in eastern Switzerland, and its altitude is 5′600 ft !

The two movies in this post show a landing and take-off there, with a DA40 TDI, three persons on board. Look how looooong the take-off roll is !
