REAl (ILS) Landing with sharp turn at minimums.

[NJFordPops08005]

looks like a great place to get away from it all for a while... nice video!

[DaveU]

Pretty standard landing at Sumburgh when approaching from the south. I always look around for 'newbies' on the plane when coming in that way

[Destiny97531]

To bombardierdude15 it is in the north islands of the uk

[Destiny97531]

To bimbardierdude15 it is in th

[sixam4]

haha ILS, LSI more like XD

[VSK121]

Does it call a safe landing?

[hookiebookie1]

that was SICK! excellent pilot!

[bombardierdude15]

and btw, is that ireland?

[bombardierdude15]

jesus christ! what is this, kai tak?!

[87earth]

ILS my ass ;D

[spikesonthebrain]

0:54-1:03=Badass



[rockonmario]

this video is on fast forward.no pilot in his entire mind would have this tremendous speed on final.at the normal video speed, the maneuver doesn't seem so dangerous.i think it was fast forwarded just for the effect, to amplify the 'fear' of the viewer.it's a perfectly non precision approach, this airport doesn't even have an ILS system for I can't see the localizer and the glideslope station

[sagereid]

@rockonmario It's not on fast forward. I've landed on that runway and been on the road below when flights have landed. It's a small plane in close proximity to the ground, of course it looks fast.

[rockonmario]

@sagereid I'm flying a D class aircraft which has the Vref between 121-140k and I know how the terrain and speed looks like from the cockpit.that aeroplane must be a C or less so there's no way in this world that tiny aircraft (Bombardier or whatever it is) will have that Vref speed.the greater the aircraft the bigger the Vref.not even an A380 would have the stall speed*1.3 that big.if you still say I'm talking nonsense, take a look at 0:52 at the PIC's hand.fastforward all day!

[tristaryul]

Definately not an ILS approach as he wasn't even alligned to the runway. ILS requires to intercept the localizer....which is not the case here

[drumdude46]

most certainly NOT an ILS landing. all looked Ok, until that "overshoot" of Turn to final, due to a very short and somewhat 'hairy' Left Base Turn, then, he floats far left of centerline, in an Overcorrect, banking dangerously to save his already botched Oh-so-NOT-'stabilzed' approach. No Bueno here. Risky and a Go Around should have been the call..........guessing this kind of flying for this crew won't last long.......

[MegaBuckBuck1]

VFR, unstablized and landed fast. What's not to like about that!

[86kinky86]

I'm not a pilot but that looked kinda dangerous to me.

[draoi99]

You don't want to be rolling the wings so much at such a low altitude. Not a good landing and quite risky actually.

[SuperApple1995]

you really can see this isn't an ils approach

[reedyspeedy12]

what is minimums?????????

[MrDanieldb]

very poor approach. a real novice.

[mmichaeldonavon]

Naw, wasn't a nice approach. "Blew through" the final approach path; however, did correct and get back to the centerline. Would have been a problem if there had been any wind to speak of. Got off really "lucky"!!! I'm sure the person, who was making the approach, was saying: "Yesssssss", as he was able to straighten the plane out before landing. Have some luck, once in awhile.

[aal223]

def wouldn't call this good airmanship. The turn to final was late and resulted in an overshoot then a correcting turn very then he overshot again! Def should have called a G/A on that one.

[Destiny97531]

@aal223 well try being on 33 approach blizzards and 30mph winds scary stuff

[saevaroa]

You should check out the BIIS Approach in Iceland if you think this is much.

[FSim4ever]

a little bit late i think ? xD

[barneydadog]

Definately wasn't an ILS - I was in the jumpseat! This is the standard approach for 33.

[Fuller1973]

Crappy approach and final. Just barely made the landing. Slow down!!

[waldmyer]

what are minimums>?

[FlyinTheNetherlands]

Minimums is nothing. Minimums is a callout that tells us when we reach the point of Decision. When we hear the word minimums we should have the runway (or lights) in sight.

Q's?

[supernaturalguy2009]

@waldmyer minimums are any altitude below 500 feet... depending on type of aircraft

[danetrain0101]

@supernaturalguy2009 Minimums have nothing to do with the aircraft but to do with the approach. There are three main approach types, ILS-I, ILS-II and ILS-III. They all have different minimums in each sub catagory.

[team6124]

first thing i thought.. go around.. what kind of plane was that?

[offinatrance]

Nice! Looks like fun.

[stefanholtland]

i would say GO AROUND. crazy skilled pilot there!

[kdes]

veeeeery niiiice! I like it!

[BusterBunker]

That pilot has some mad skillzzzzzzz. Nasty looking approach there.

[krlos116]

iceland ?

[thinkwhaturdoing]

over egged the turn on to final somewhat and hardly that stable on short finals but smoked it in the end nicely.. messy piloting skills followed by great piloting skils all in all a very intersting vid to watch

[redtide08]

wow what a crappy approach....i mean the pattern, not the flying. What airport is that?

[jagara1]

It's Oohai Tagg the Scottish equivalent of Kai Tak ;)

[MalcolmsonStudios]

@redtide08 Sumburgh Airport - Shetland Islands

[SaberTanker22]

man if i was the pilot i would go off the runway.

[king7wood]

One of the best pieces of video I've seen...

[JoaoT805]

gotta agree with mustang there. brilliant landing.

[ie210]

Bombardier Q400?

nice vid.

[qolaxbenchwarmer07]

Saab 340

[dannybOMFG]

whoaaaaa that was intense!!!

[BJacobs2293]

idk what ILS you were on but good landing.

[mustangkraft505]

brilliant landing, center line and everything. reminds me of my first solo when i got turned in in front of a fighter jet... what kind of plane is this btw

[gunks28]

The Saab is a plane you learn to love in situations like that. Reminds me of the ILS circle to land at Boston Logan that took you over the Charles River.

[airbuspage]

Do not is a ILS landing its a manual landing.

[re5ath]

if i had ever meant it when i said unbelievable in my life, this is it. UNBELIEVABLE...!

[ArtyomShipoff]

OMG never seen that kind of approach. BRAVO

[imfriendly2all]

a job well done!!! great one.

[wingt1p]

faroe islands

[ptrss]

Radical!!!!

[111olbap]

I peed a little bit.

[musicalaviator]

Not an ILS, There's not even any Glideslope equipment on the side of the runway :P

Very nice approach though, be it Visual, VOR, NDB or Circling. (don't see enough of the set up for the approach to narrow it down)

[WickedChess]

not ILS at all but awesome landing mate...

[nalli77]

Exelent just exelent. yeas skiled pilots indeed.

[ChrizRockster]

Wild Ride in there! Excellent skill!

[cjracer1000]

i doubt that these pilots have little experience 5* and fave!

[bayrakdar]

Overshoot

[PenAirPilot]

I think I agree with you.

[jerryz1100]

my friend always fly there when he works with loganair..so no big deal..not challenging enough :)

[issueagent]

So where exactly is that place?

[BerlinBunker1]

NO, this is obviously a VFR approach, and not an ILS approach, Beautifully hand flown by the crew.

This is AIRMANSHIP folks, excellent pilotage.

[pompeiafa]

Great!

[tjhin22]

Wow, amazing landing. And two thumbs up for those great damn pilot.

[hew44]

Id like to see that from the outside, very cool.

[cybermariano]

This has to be one of the most dangerous approaches in the world. One little mistake and you are dead. I don't know why some airports are done without the minimum safe regulations.

[Heliguy31]

Thanks Girldancealot!!

[Soon2BpiLot2992]

gotta love the saab 340.

[wrcchamp]

nice landing

[Heliguy31]

That's a great vid. What airport??

[Girldancealot]

I found out it is Sumburgh (EGPB) on the Shetland Islands.

[75sevenA330]

This is not an ILS approach. At best its a NPA(non-precision) and looks like its offset by more then 30 degrees so it prolly is a circling approach. I give to 2 to 1 that its either an VOR or NDB with circling only minimums. I am surprised by how "officially" unstabilized he was but that looked VERY fun.

Cool video all the same!

[velocityflier16]

I agree 110% It is a NPA. Definitely not an ILS because the plane is clearly not captured in a proper glide slope path. Almost looks like a VOR-A approach.Cool video though!

[givinguptheghost1988]

jesus ...that base leg was gnarly!. that was an awesome landing and a good recovery to the drift turing onto finals. ILS must be really hard

[FFoocckkaa]

nice very nice

[flybywire22]

By the way, amazing video

[flybywire22]

Saab 340? Loganair possibly?

[planemadmatt]

That was CRAZY!!!!!

[chevychunk]

nice nice nice looks like you've done that before

[nicensboy]

Wow, why such a sharp turn so low? Obstacle clearance? Bit of a shaky approach!

[tla3al3ali]

Obstacle clearance check the airport charts for non precion approaches.

[mjwizz01]

good job
