The largest aircraft that can operate at LCY is an A318, an A319 is a tad bit bigger than that, but I have heard rumours about them starting up with the CS100 :)
Behind the runway at LCY there is a small car park next to the landing lights. You can park up there and have the planes fly directly above you as they land or in some cases, takeoff!
Glide slope is 5.5 degrees compared to 3 degrees slope for most airfields. Which means steep approach, also no ILS landing here, so pilots fly the aircraft in. Thanks for watching
The steep angled approach and short runway limits larger aircraft from taking off. Hence why the A318 does a fuel stop at SNN, as it could not take off fully fuelled for JFK
Excellent video. Many thanks. Do you (or anybody else) know what that red/yellow chequered service vehicle, parked adjacent to the runway for the duration, was supposed to be doing> Clearly not awaiting an opportunity to conduct a runway inspection. Looks like a sinecure to me, but I stand ready to be corrected!
Sometimes they standby to make control the presence of birds, and they can also monitor aircraft landing to make sure small debris don't fall onto the runway on touchdown
Casey Planespotting Thanks. Possible, of course, although one would hope that bits falling off landing aircraft are rare events! Whatever, enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Elliot

EMBRAER dominating London City!!!!!!

Nice video Casey :)

Can remember Bill Bryce using Fairoaks to pratice approaches in his DASH 7 on the day of the first landing at LCA a man with a vision
My uncle said that Swiss will be sending a A319 aircraft from now on instead of the Avro100

Very high sink rate on that second one o_O
10/10 casy nice :)
Cheers :)
Is it harder to land here than other airports?? Seems very steep decent or is it because its abit windy? Great video by the way!!
Glide slope is 5.5 degrees compared to 3 degrees slope for most airfields. Which means steep approach, also no ILS landing here, so pilots fly the aircraft in. Thanks for watching
Thankyou!! I understand now!
Great vid awesome catches
Thanks :)
Awesome video!!
Subbed!
Another good video 👍
Thanks Dan :)
How is it that only Embraer E-190/E-170 jets land at LCY (apart from the odd Airbus A318)? Is it because the runway is too small or another reason?
The steep angled approach and short runway limits larger aircraft from taking off. Hence why the A318 does a fuel stop at SNN, as it could not take off fully fuelled for JFK
Charlie Hayes the CS100 will change that for Swiss
excellent
video
Thank you
Your welcome
Nice video!!

Is this from the line of benches opposite the Travelodge? Thanks.
Next to the Newham council building, but yes near there
Thank you. I'm staying at the Travelodge in May so I'll probably go here with my camera to pass time. :)
I subscribed
Thanks 😎
This may sound like a stupid question’ but does the RJ100 have thrust reversers?
Mclaren P1 nope
can anyone please tell me why the propellers on the saab aircraft appear to be turning very slowly?Is it an optical illusion?
No just they move very fast for camera's, the frame rate on the camera can't keep up with the rapid movement
thanks for explaining that for me, now I wont have to get my eyes checked, lol
My wife and I are flying into this airport from the isle of man in october.looking forward to it
beats watching t.v.
Haha thanks :)
I leave 30 minutes away from London City airport.
Cool ! :)
Annoying wind in the background
Yeh but did you not think it was a blustery day, which makes it hard for cameras to focus on other sounds. It's still an enjoyable video regardless
+Casey Planespotting yeah, otherwise, good vid.
Where are you spotting from?
Its near the Royal Albert DLR station
London have 2 airports????
did these landed very steep or is it just me who sees that??
The glideslope is 5.5 degrees here, versus the normal 3 degrees.
What was that trijet at 19:17?
It's a Dassault Falcon 7x
Why the Airbus A318 goes to NY at 31:19 ????
All Business Class service, does a Fuel stop at Shannon, SNN due to short runway at LCY
And where is Shannon ?
West Ireland
+Casey Planespotting the a 318 can go from ireland to NY ????
Yep, well in the aircrafts range which is 5,700km, distance between SNN-JFK is around 4,900km
Please spott Warsaw Chopin Airport WAW!
I already have done
Thanks so much!Casey Planespotting
ok cause I live in yorkshire

Some aircraft are, but they aren't too old
+Casey Planespotting ok
