    Let me take you along to Skiathos, also known as the European Saint Martin. The runway is located directly at the beach, enabling spotters and aviation enthusiasts to watch the arriving and departing aircraft up close. It's a challenging approach because of the short runway and it's dangerous for spotters because of the low landings and jetblast.
    The video shows what it's like to fly a visual approach into a Greek island. Interesting facts, approach charts, actual call-outs, checklists and procedures were added to provide a sense of everything that is going on inside the cockpit during the approach and landing. A low landing and visual approach from a cockpit point of view. Let me know what you think of this video guys!

    Hi everyone!! I hope you like this approach and landing video featuring Skiathos! A lot has changed during the last years, were you able to spot all of the "hidden" changes in this video? I will give you a hint, the Earth's magnetic field 😏 Don’t hesitate to let me know what other videos you’d like to see. Have a great Sunday and again, thank you for watching! X Michelle
    FYI: The "dangerous" in the title refers to the jetblast created by the arriving and departing aircraft. The aircraft come in low over the adjacent road and beach area where people gather to see the aircraft up close. There are signs to warn people about this dangerous jetblast as well. If the approach or landing itself would be dangerous, we wouldn't fly there to begin with 😉 Safety is always our number one priority, without exception!

    Out of High School this is what I eventually wanted to do, the dream/ plan was well before high school. I had set my sights on Naval Aviator when I joined the USN 1978 on delayed entry. Got accepted OCS and was on my way when a motorcycle accident sidelined me. I dropped back into my backup career Refrigeration/ HVAC and have done that ever since with a few attempts to go into aviation in earnest. I got to solo student and had just a few night flight hours left to complete private pilot but then had to move and it was no longer convenient and barely plausible if I had omnipotent determination. Turned 60 a little over a month ago and realized ATP will never be me. But ran across Michelle's channel and I dig it!! There are only two careers that fall into the realm of disbelief that I get to do this and they will pay me for it, Aviation and Scuba diving. Signed your friendly NAUI (retired) Instructor originally from Arizona. Michelle you have captured my attention like Jacques I Cousteau!

    This is great, thanks for posting. Best approach I ever got to experience was from the flight deck off a Cathy Pacific B747 into Kai Tak 6 months before it closed down ;( I still remember the pilot asking for a high speed golf approach and seeing the checker board on the hill before the right hand turn onto the runway. Something that I will never forget!!

    My most memorable landing was into Runway 13 at Kai Tak in 1981. It was my first visit to Hong Kong so I had no idea what the approach would be like. I was sitting in a starboard window seat on a Qantas 747 gazing out the window at nothing but low cloud as we descended. I was starting to get a bit worried that I could only see cloud because I'd heard the gear go down already when suddenly the cloud cleared and straight out from my window were apartment blocks that appeared to be VERY close. So close that I could easily see people hanging out washing on their balconies. Now I was REALLY worried. Next, we do a hard roll to the right so I'm now looking almost straight down to the heavy traffic on the road below us. We straighten up and about 10 seconds later, we're down. Unforgettable.

    • @hiawathabray885
      @hiawathabray885 Před rokem +1

      Yep. I was lucky enough to get to go to Kai Tak a couple of years before it closed. A fellow passenger who'd done the flight before was kind enough to let me take his right-side window seat for the landing. It was stunning. It looked like the wingtips would brush against the skyscrapers. Never seen anything like it before or since.

    • @volpe_lightsong
      @volpe_lightsong Před rokem +1

      Having visited that very spot where the runway used to be for Kai Tak I feel this so hard. Possibly the most challenging landing ever at any commercial airport. Period. Hong Kong is hands down one of my favourite places, and the landscape there is dramatic on every level ✨

    • @brianblauvelt3142
      @brianblauvelt3142 Před 4 měsíci +1

      I have a similar memory of my first flight into the old Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport at night, in a severe thunderstorm, sitting in a Starboard window seat. I was looking right into people's apartment windows flying between 2 mountains. Then we touched down just as the wings leveled out after a 45 degree banked right turn. Quite the memory. The new HK airport has its own unique peculiarities with rotor potential depending on the wind direction, but nothing like the old airport.

    I've landend on a 737-800 and the brake power is just mad: a friend of mine was recording a video and his iPhone almost jumped out of his hands 😂
    Take off is also insane. Pilots keep the brakes while the engines are reeving up and the plane shakes like crazy. They release them and the aircraft suddently gains speed.

    I don’t fly, myself. Haven’t done so for well over a decade now but I work on ground crews at BRS and get to enjoy watching and judging the various landings by different aircraft on a daily basis. A brisk crosswind is especially entertaining! I’ve seen some silky smooth landings that barely gave a puff of smoke, to a 737 being planted into the runway right gear, left gear, a “hop,” then both gear very, very closely followed by the nose gear and a mighty cloud of smoke. And the fire trucks were deployed and followed the Ryanair 737 all the way to it’s stand.

    From the looks of the runway where you landed, I’m wondering if there’s ever any need to clean off those dark black skidmarks that seem to have built up at the point of touchdown. Thanks 💙🙏🏻

    Hello DPG - amazingly, I have only just become aware of your videos and I love them.

      @@Annabeth1319 The landing at the current Hong Kong Chep Lap Kok Airport has similar feeling on both western and eastern approaches where the plane is going to land at the sea prior to touchdown onto the runway.
      The eastern approach is brilliant where the plane flew over Hong Kong eastwards, turn 180 degrees westward above Shatin, over the hills and alongside Tsing Ma Bridge prior to land on either 25 L or 25R

    When you fly to a new airport, how do you visually identify the airfield? Do you look at satellite maps in preparation? Do you chillax and assume that ATC/vectors/ILS will get you close enough? Do you develop a sixth sense? Some airports are obvious. Some, like Quito's, don't seem obvious at all.

    Albuquerque (New Mexico) airport. Approach is from the west because the airport is on a high valley plain. I was on a Southwest flight, pilot did a touch and go on the runway, then had to do a canyon run to line up on the emergency North-South runway. That landing will always stick with me.

      My first trip to Albuquerque was back in '94; a long flight from the UK (via Dallas).
      We flew in over the mountain in a 727 at night, during a snowstorm; it was interesting to say the least.
      My most abiding memory was thinking "Crash or land I really don't care, I just want to go to sleep"

    @FlywithMagnar Před 2 lety +4

    Since you asked about which approach I remember best, then Florø, ENFL (Norway) comes into mind. At that time, the runway was 800 meters long, and I was flying an ATR 42. It was rainy, windy, midnight, and pitch dark. And we had to make a localizer approach to a circling into a steep final approach. There was a circling light on downwind, and that was pretty much all we could see until we turned final. We used a special chart/graph to compute heading and timing on downwind, and the bank angle to the final. All this based on reported wind from the airport. In this case, we had to start the final turn when we were abeam the threshold. And let me add that there weas high terrain close to the airport. So everything had to be perfect. Crew coordination was essential, because the captain had to look out most of the time. The job of the first officer was to monitor speed, heading, altitude and timing. It worked well every time, but the adrenalin made it hard to sleep afterwards!
