American Airlines flight 1775, Boeing 737-800 arrives at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on the River Visual runway 19 approach. Recorded in Microsoft Flight Simulator on the VATSIM network, ATC included. Massive tail-strike and stall warnings plus FSXCC landing competition vibes at the end.

Thanks for watching boss! - Zábava
These more realistic sims are fascinating as a non-flyer. But I do kind of miss the absolute chaos in some of your older videos. Merry Christmas!
literally just said this after the video. that said the skill of these atc and pilots was still very entertaining to watch
I do miss me some hot air balloons going vertical.
tbh same
Ya that's what got me hooked and couldn't wait for the next
@@BammerD Or doing barrel-rolls at mach 3 ... 🤨😂
Grading vatsim landings is honestly really fun to watch
I haven't seen this much traffic in the air since Christmas 1990 at Washington Dulles International Airport!
Same shit every Christmas huh Mr.Mclane
Isn’t that the year they lost power to all but one runway and a plane crashed due to an incorrectly calibrated glide slope?

Just like iwo jima !
Hello Groundpoops66 I just wanted to let you know, stemming all the way back from your chaotic flight sim x sessions to these dry humor regular flights, you single handedly peaked my interest in aviation.
For the past 11 years I lived in California just managing coffee shop to coffee shop and streaming in off time.
And just 2 weeks ago I moved to Virginia Beach for flight school, just the other day I went up for my first time in a small two seater experimental, and got my first taste behind the sticks. I have no one to thank but you dude, you’re amazing and I’m truly grateful that the algorithm brought us together all those years ago. You’re the man brother, I hope to run into you some day and buy you a beer 👊🏼
One of the most wholesome comments in all of yt. Gotta bookmark this somehow❤
Somebody blog this.
His most popular name to date has been "Groundpound69"
I'm an ATC student at the FAA Academy right now and hearing those controllers sequence all that traffic was so cool!
That’s insane! This is why airports need parallel runways!
And this is just a Vatsim channel. The real world can be a lot spicier.
National has no space. When they first put an airport there they had no concept of airplane traffic volumes that we would have in the 21st century.
@@NorthForkFisherman I know! 😬
IRL DCA is limited to 60 IFR operations per hour, so this is just a "vatsim-ism"
As someone who lives 5 minutes from DCA, there is no space for parallel runways. The one main runway it has is already ridiculously short at 6800 ft and in order to fit a second parallel runway between it and the Potomac it would have to be even shorter.
The spectating after landing felt like a dessert I didn't expect. Thanks AFP95! Another banger.
yo you using the 737 pmdg now lets go.
Also the landing competition esque part at the end gave me a lot of nostalgia. Honestly should bring it back and call it FS20CC.
Anyone got a livery for that yet?
For the record - that was the most elegant sequencing I think I've witnessed since I started watching AFP's vids. IRL, air traffic controllers are truly the unsung heroes in our everyday lives, they don't get the credit they deserve, they're underpaid, overworked and they do this work day in and day out to ensure everyone is safe, happy, and healthy. The next time you find out that someone is a real ATC, hug him and thank him for his service, it's the least you can do.
As much as I love the videos with all of the shenanigans this is by far one of the best I have seen. Amazing job by the ATC.
This was so cool seeing all these landings. Everyone, planes and controllers, were fantastic!

that was a great video spectating the landings at the end. VATSIM was killing it on that flight
Spec-fucking-tacular. A+ ride from start to finish.
ATC was top tier into DC.
That last landing was also top tier.
Thanks for the vid!
Massive respect to the controllers ! Feels good to see the VATSIM network ALIVE !
The sequencing is insane awesome job by all the vatsim staff.
Now that’s professionalism at its finest. Loved seeing how ATC worked the traffic throughout the video.
As someone with a huge phobia of flying (and yet fascinated by airplanes), watching those landings really does relieve some of that fear lol
Huh???! It's a facking game bud.
@@goodbyemr.anderson5065 What's your problem lol
And as someone who lives in DC and has routinely flown into DCA, actually landing there will absolutely reverse all of that relief.
Hey Airforce, I know you probably don't remember me but i want you to go back 11 years ago. I was on an old account then but you commented on a video from costal carolina regional airport to the youtuber Ganon136. I never commented, but i did like your comment at some point. I remember you didn't have a lot of subs back then. I looked back at the old video today and saw the verified checkmark. It's crazy what you have become. Keep up the great work! If you do in fact read this comment please go back to that video and at least look at it.
That has to be the busiest airport I have seen so far on the new simulator, props to the ATC keeping the madness under control
Zurich (LSZH) had an event this week where all the holds were full and new flights departing to Zurich were delayed a minimum of 1 hour for clearance.
“Oh my TAILSTRIKE!”
*Keeps climbing as if nothing happened*
The top dogs among the VATSIM community, right here.
Both on the ATC side and Pilots side
The last landing was smooth man ! Any chance you could virtually fly Concorde on vatsim one day ? I'd love to see that happening. Being a first class passenger on AFP airlines is pretty cool ! Happy holidays to you !
Remember to put your gear to the OFF position once it had been retracted. And also, flaps 2 is not a takeoff configuration in the 737 (some are 1, 5, 10 and 15).
What does that do?
It removes the hydraulic pressure from the gear
@@allamericanwiseass2794 It deactivates the gear system and lets the wheels stay in a fixed position
@@kaan_3516 good idea
MSFS 737 won't let you, it is not a function
My nights about 10-15 times a month for 25 years. Fedex arrivals into Memphis are busier than this simulation.
Benihana-grade sequencing work by that ATC
Man, it's awesome seeing Gravelly Point Park right there at the tip of the runway. It's a fun place when they have the river approach from that direction.
didn't realise that your callsign was the start of the american revolution!
now those were butter landings
thanks for the pre Christmas upload, boss. makes my holidays even better
I've flown in to Reagan quite a few times on the river approach, both day and night. It's a lot of fun in real life. I still would like to see @Airforceproud95 do the Canarsie 13R approach at JFK, at night.
0:06 Say bye bye to the aft bulkhead 😂
Those smooth landings at the end, you love to see it
Thought the Washington Monument was the runway for a moment. That would've been awkward...
I’ve been a pretty big aviation/sim/spotter fan for pretty much my whole life and I’d never heard of this airport until last week… now my timelines are full of it and I can’t get enough of the river visual. Don’t know how I’ve missed it up until now but glad I come across it!
what a christmas present: afp95 video before the end
you know you make good content when i only can see in one eye after surgery and still watch your videos.
That river approach into DCA gives passengers some anxiety let alone the pilots! Good job with sticking the landing!
As a person who used to fly in and out of Reagan a lot this is 100% accurate and you do get quite the sightseeing tour flying in that was only suspended due to how close you are to, well, everything, for a while after 9/11.
Great video. I fly the 737 IRL in the US for a major carrier (but not AAL. Hint: paint is mostly blue!)
We have the “airspeed low” aural warnings installed. I’m not sure about AAL’s configs, but that would be a great heads-up pre-stall (in the event it happens).
For energy management tips, be very careful disconnecting A/T and handling it on your own. For the most part, A/T will hold approach speed on its own around 5 kts past your landing Vref (known as Vtarget). When you disconnect A/T, it’ll actually stay around Vtarget on its own. You don’t want to be exactly at Vref because you’ll be too close to a low-airspeed condition. Very small movements are needed on the thrust levers upon disconnection unless it’s super windy, but usually for that I leave A/T on until last minute for disconnection on landing.
Other than that, great job slowing it down in advance. This thing is a slick piggy and hard to slow down once she gets going. Walking down to that flaps-up bug (210 kts) prior to the IAF is crucial, so good job getting it slowed early with ATC. Keep it up.
Been both in the air and on the ground (there's a fantastic plane spotting area just by Reagan) and the river approach is really neat. Plus the planes are quite low so seeing them zip along the highways is pretty cool.
I live a few miles from IND, during the summer I love to watch the lights at night with the sequencing. It's always amazing to see the perfect spacing of plane lights as they land.
I loved the planespotting at the end! It's something I also tend to do a lot on VATSIM at busy airports. Also feels like a bit of a throwback to the drone camera MSFS vids and the landing challenges.
WOW, now that's some amazing ATC work! Always love to watch your flights, thanks for the awesome spectating at the end as well. One great landing after another.
That was quality, front to back. The ATC was on-point! And those landings were the cream on that whole thing. Great video, and great work to all involved.
Love this type of video with the high traffic and drone cam at the end.
Love these night flights where we can see other aircraft in the sky, the beautiful city lights, and other airport runway lights. Keep'm coming.
Thank you for this. Merry Christmas.
I worked up by Dulles and there were stormy nights when you could see the Reagan traffic back up at night by standing on a parking garage. This reminded me of that.
Always impressed by your videos. This was a winner. Your radio work is impeccable, even in an American dialect!
Wow, everyone handled that chaos really well, from the ATC to the sequencing aircraft.
You’re finally using PMDG/payware!!! Let’s GO!
Honestly could watch you just plane spot for hours! Gold!!!
I am a complete noob, and just like to move around in the sky. Seeing clean landings, at night, still amazes me.
Amazing piloting and top notch ATC
Love these vatsim vids thanks bud 👍
Great vid, you always manage to put a smile on my face and tbh I always learn a thing or 2 too
This is why I fly on flightsim. I enjoy flying into the busier airports and watching traffic landing as you did.
Everything in this video was amazing. Good job!
Love the videos, you got me into flight simulator keep making the videos
Butterrrr. Happy Christmas AFP95 and everyone else. See y’all next year 🫡.
Definitely one of my favorite approaches in the game that I have seen flown by other sim pilots. nice job
Thank you for all the entertaining Vatsim flying you brought to us this year. Merry Christmas. 🎄
Whenever u post, I get so excited!
Enthralling video. And the spotting session at the end was amazing, looks like real life this game. Very nice, can’t wait for the next one.
Love the PMDG 737. I fly it all the time. Would love to see more vids in this
The level of professionalism in this entire flight with everyone just makes me happy. Those ATC boys killed it.
Well that was something! Great video as always
This was amazing, thank you!
You love to see the professionalism on these servers! Simply Beautiful!
Totally brilliant - Thank you, i enjoyed this so much
Love seeing my local airport in simulators!
I just recived your merch and it is comfortable as hell
Wowzer the ATC was on point and made for an amazing visual for this night traffic.
This was probably the most realistic experience for a popular commercial airport on MFS. I pass by the DFW airport a few times a year and every time its flooded just like this video.
I must say I really do like the commentary whilst vatsim plane spotting… you make into a sports event. 😂😂😭😭 Please do more
that was some amazing vectoring and atc....
amazing job by pilots and ATC. good job
Hell yeah! Good work ATC
man ... all those butters ..... couldn't take my eyes off those landings ... omg ...
That was an amazing video! Also, those landings are worth a 20 minute video of their own :D.
This reminds me when I was flying into LAX from Hawaii. A line of planes descending one at a time through the cloud layer at night. It was beautiful.
i would LOVE to see a video of you just grading vatsim landings tbh. the short segment in the end was really fun to watch!
Reminds me of when I flew my Piper Warrior across Lake Michigan and entered O'Hare airspace. There were aircraft, a lot bigger than I was, all over the place.
Damn! Thats some phenomenal sequencing and some dakn good landings. Great flying chief! ❤
This is amazing and crazy.
This will be a banger for a long time yet.
Great time for a new AFP95 VatSim video
I work in the tower here at DCA -- fun to see this on the sim side with ATC.
God I missed the Vatsim vids. Great video thank you for this beauty of a Christmas gift!
Ending bringing me back to the FSXCC days
That was a considerable amount of traffic for DCA! Still blows my mind just how busy Potomac airspace is both virtually and in reality. Excellent job by all. And did I truly hear a Northwest call sign at some point in the sequencing? That warms my heart; Detroit Metro (DTW) is my hometown airport, and was one of Northwest's hubs before Delta bought them.
This really makes you appreciate what gets done in real life! Truly amazing!
Wow that was absolutely bonkers!! I was on the edge of my seat for the last 5 minutes of the landing sequence! Especially with the stall warning during final approval and then more stall warnings during landing!!!! Phew 😅😮💨😅 great work by pilots and all ATC involved!
Great video my man. You’re right the last landing was butter. ❤
I could watch the spotting all day 😍
As someone who went spotting at Gravelley Point (right below runway 3) it’s still impressive how all pilots manage to take the hard turn and align with the runway in a short period of time. Props to the realism too
I would LOVE to see more VATSIM landing watching. That was a great throwback!
Very nice!
The nostalgia from the spotting at the end❤❤
