ILS Approach to Santiago, Chile

[stewartaj2000]

Nice vid...almost had to execute MAP.

[pipidores]

siiiiiiiii eso es en Chile, donde yo vivo

[TheVittleVlog]

Great vid!!

[Gorrion964]

Exelente aproach y aterrizaje!!! Un abrazo.

[lalbruiz]

Amazing to see that no matter how advanced planes are, they stil carry the humble windshield wipers, just like any car...nothing better that them has been invented aparently. Awesome video.

[felizuko16]

falto su buena cumbia ahi pal aterrizaje xD jajajajajajajajajaja

[SAVDC10]

I never knew that even at 300 ft, the pilots sometimes cant see the runway! Perfect video.

[AF401]

I'd like to see T7's replacing those A340.

PS: nice vid. of the '67 onto 17L

[Joey3TG]

That was perfect.

[fpdlf]

Santiago es siempre Santiago

[jimh615]

Thank you.

[jimh615]

What type aircraft is this and what airline please.

[cmarentis]

@jimh615 LAN Airlines 767-300ER

[TriplesevenER]

767 best ^^

[hnplv60]

@TriplesevenER nope 737 is really the best :P

[elbucalemuchile]

@hnplv60 i prefer a320 over 737

[lotwyo]

I wish they installed such lights on highways too. It would be so cool.

[FSXtechno4live]

you said "low visibility", i would say NO visibility, GREAT JOB

[cruxader27]

are the runway lights damaged when the plane runs on it?

[cmarentis]

@cruxader27 No, they can withstand the abuse. ;)

[cruxader27]

@cmarentis

how about the aircraft tires? can these lights puncture to it?

i wonder how the lights are installed on runway because on daylight i hardly see them..are they installed just like cat eyes in roads?

[pk5887]

@cruxader27

Runway and taxiway center lines are beside the lights, like paralell to them. So you follow the center line with your front wheel and the lights pass by the side. You can run over them with no great danger anyway. Theyre not that big. Ive done it with a small aircraft (tiny wheels) and no problem. But its cotume to avoid them. As a matter of fact i fly in that airport a lot.

[cruxader27]

@pk5887

but how are they constructed? are they just like cateyes on highways..? are they pointed or embedded on the runway like nails?

[pk5887]

@cruxader27 They are all electrical. Google-image this and ull see: "flush runway light"

They are placed in circular sockets in the runway.

The ones on the edge are like mushrooms.

Some lights are designed to be visible only from certain angles. Like PAPI and VASI lights.

[TriplesevenER]

@cruxader27 embedded

[Mazza4Azza]

@cruxader27

They are buried into the runway. Like 'cats eyes' on motorways.

[lrsprint]

NICE!!!!!

[1actuator]

Well cmarentis I do have quite a bit of experience...mostly single pilot part 91 corporate flying. I remember a very experienced airline captain pilot telling me the saying in his business was (from the captain to the FO) " I better not wake up and catch you sleeping" So take credit where credit is due...a monkey can be trainined to use the auto pilot. Jump in a 172 and hand fly one down to the mins ALONE sometime and then tell me how great your systems management skills helped you.

[cmarentis]

@1actuator Third, if monkeys may be trained to use the A/P, I dont know, but they will never do it safer than we do. Fourth, I can fly a 172 with my eyes closed...alone and to the mins and of course my management skills and years of training would make it a lot safer and easy.

Your initial comment was bitter and ironical, with absolutely no reason to be like that.

[cmarentis]

@1actuator First, these videos are not intended to take credit for anything, just to promote aviation. Second, the saying in my business is be prepared and professional, we owe that to the 430 customers + CC in the back that are our responsability.

[larrybueno]

@1actuator You're a fucking idiot!!!

[1actuator]

Congratulations on your amazing talent to disenguage the autopilot...it must take quite a bit of raw pilot technique and nerves of steel to sit back and monitor the approach while the computer does your job.

[cmarentis]

@1actuator What a great comment, I guess this comes from a very experienced pilot.

[hkgyyzhkg]

OH so nice, so the pilots never disengage the autoppilot until well after touch down?

[cmarentis]

@hkgyyzhkg If its an autoland, yes, you disconect it on the ground. On all other apps, you disconect before landing.

[Slaterator]

Realy cool Autoland video. Thanks !

[elekakalango]

A la vista las flashing lights!!!!.......

[FSXHD92]

foggy

[mikosiko1]

@cowboytrans..."All it is"? Look buddy dont short sell the talent and skill required to follow and IlS, and given the extreme possibility that this aircraft was doing an autoland, a whole lot of things can go wrong in the crucial final seconds prior to touchdown...All it is...Man some nerve, go to the NTSB website and look at all the people in lighter aircraft who screw up an instrument landing and pay with their lives...Great video, great landing, hats off

[SuperMcfly12]

wow lol. it's called autopilot. i can track a localizer no prob. never had problems. it's not really a skill. its just dumbfucks who don't understand a simple concept. don't get your panties in a bun

[CarAudioGuy21]

nice !!

[sbentjies]

That was down to minimums! nice video. What aircraft is this?

[cmarentis]

767-300er

[terryyjoe1]

Muy bien el video

[raphaelhenrique]

fantatisc land... incrible.

Congratulation for all cabin crew.

[panictactics]

Cabin crew serve the drinks.

[pk5887]

para los que dudan si es ILS que otra aproximacion va a ser con esa visibilidad de mierda?

[netlord]

A lo mejor se piensan que es NDB xD

[KauaiGolfer1]

And he rolls it on! No wonder he posted this video!

[foxmi980]

excekente aterrizaje capitan CMARENTIS

[sancho708]

exelente video exelente aterrizaje

[scjozpzx]

@atr1982 de que en santiago hay smog.., lo hay, pero esto es Neblina (sabe usted la diferencia entre Niebla, Neblina y Bruma)

Niebla (FG): VIS horizontal entre 0 y 999 mtsN

Neblina (BR): 1000-4999 mts

Bruma (HZ): 5000-9999 mts

Nadie lo ha ofendido.., no ofenda a nadie.

listo

[mattyccc2009]

wow low cloads

[hassanchoudry]

nice, but when is Autopilot disengaged??

[cmarentis]

below 60 kts.

[ryanair737400]

usually when a plane come over the threshold

[conoramoia]

gr8 vid!!

[666Goatlord]

Smashin' video, i love the engine's sound when it lands and takes off. The visibility was nearly zero, good pilot's skills!

For all those who say that it's smog (like atr1982), it's rather fog, the airport is on the city's outskirts and that place use to be very foggy almost all the time, the smog you like so much is located particularly closer to the city's urban areas.

atr1982,If you want to say bullshit and mess up this interesting video, you better go to another site.

[orbits2]

Over shot the off ramp center line?

Hard for me to tell

I realize the distance between the cockpit and the main landing gear.

[ryanrnsmith]

i can see what you are saying about overshooting the runway exit taxi line.

the aim is to get the nosewheel centred on that line, and because the cockpit of a 747 is so far forward of the nosewheel, it appears to be an overshoot, but was in fact a perfect turn!

[gerdelt]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vinhasontem]

wtf...you can´t see shit..

[hbcrazyman]

incredible how people can do that. awesome vid

[pp6811]

nicely done.....by the airplane

[machineguns0]

ke miedo wn aparece la pista de repente

increible los sistemas de estos aviones .

[benfalas]

Los pilotos también seran increibles creo yo.

[crabAndSlip]

Very nice approach and landing

[TheSalmansar]

aprende castellano de pasada : 'hise'

que ignorancia

[TheSalmansar]

aprende ingles primero peruano envidioso

[hunnet01]

How do you tell this is an ILS landing, I mean I am no pilot so how do I realize this makes use of ILS.

ILS=Instrument Landing System right?

[nojyt]

The dead give-away is the extremely low visibility. There's no way a visual approach could have lined them up so perfectly with the runway (in fact, there's no way they'd even TRY a visual approach on a day like that).

[friveracast]

y que tiene que ver tu comentario resentido con el video?

este video es exelente como todos los de cmarentis, para que lo estes ensuciando con comentarios ridiculos y haciendo polemica donde no la hay, solo habla mal de ti. resentido

[Christisms]

This is what makes me feel safe about flying. You have to be that close to see the landing lights for the runway and yet ILS has you perfectly straight and on the correct glide slope when the runway does become visible.

[joerobbo0]

that was one hell of a landing and as CoffeyBreaks sed thank god for ILS

[CoffeyBreaks]

Thank God for ILS... good landing!

[OrangeSFO]

yikes! 300 and no runway yet!

[ChileDDR]

Impecable aterrizaje con una visibilidad de mierda, podrías subir más , hace tiempo no lo haces xD

Saludos desde LSC :P

[joeairplane79]

Was that an autoland? I didn't hear the autopilot disconnect during the rollout.

[scottmck72]

Those computers can land really well!

[cmarentis]

we were all counting on that!

[xterrasesc]

WOW, that was pro

[000az999]

ke aterrizaje tan suave... buenos pilotos!

[maxrioseco]

very nice landing!!! 10/10

[atr1982]

que feo es el smog en santiago!!

the smog in santiago is nasty!!

[cmarentis]

es neblina, no smog

[atr1982]

en realidad es smog, ya son 3 veces que viajo a Santiago y siempre el cielo esta oscuro, para tu conocimiento, despues de Mexico DF, Santiago es la ciudad con mas smog y mas contaminada en America Latina.

[cmarentis]

a ver... a unas 8 aproximaciones por mes a santiago, por 13 anos, son 1248 aproximaciones aproximadamente... creo que se cuando es smog y cuando neblina... eso si, la contaminacion en algo contribuye.

[atr1982]

ojala se haga algo para eliminar de a pocos el pesado smog que hay en Santiago!!!! es horrible el smog alli :(

[waltersantos]

O eres muy ignorante, o eres muy resentido. Para tu informaciòn, el lugar mas contaminado de sudamerica averigua cual es. Una pista: Queda en Peru.

[mrcoolhunter]

increíble el video , pero es que es excelente!!

[jonathasluciano]

Fantastic!!! Congratulations Captain.

[Pakanin]

Nice landing :P is it you who flying ?

[ATEPAWSK]

smooth landing no heavy shakings

[deltafan909]

is you were on a 3.00degree glideslope, when you are 3 miles away from the runway you would be at 1000ft. correct? Great video!

[grvc44]

only high skilled pilot can do this...very smart. i want to become a pilot!!!!

[Airportchris2]

except he is using an ILS approach, for this, which the computer does the flying, until he is able to take manually.

[sushantisgreat]

excellent landing..!!!

[talcaforever]

look all that fog and smog!

well done! very nice job!

[pilotwave]

nice landing!!!

[chamilitary999]

very nice landing in fog,

i just wanna know if we can do an autoland even we don't see the runway at the minimuns.

[cmarentis]

yes we can.

[combarbala]

marentis marentis ... good landing .

[stormciper]

mi amigo lead25 ... lo hace mejor! =)

[cmarentis]

???

[lead25]

buen aterrizaje, excelente!

[drawde1980]

its on autoland mode guys.. or APP... they just monitor the instruments and the autopilot does the landing til touchdown...

[typhonfighter]

Great landing!

[1076667]

A great landing!

You are pro pilot!

[iluv2fly763]

If this was a CAT III landing, then it was an autoland. The pilot skills consisted of monitoring the systems. Thanks Otto. ;)

[frequentairbusflyer8]

Yeah, but it was still skill to configure the instruments to capture the glideslope and the localizer along with radio comunications

[Andreas20a]

Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice,nice landing man! that was the best landing i've ever seen.

[SandpiperN121PP]

That has to be the smoothest landing in the worst conditions I have ever scene. Excellent pilot skills!

[johnnypetruccy]

Amazing... that was an ILS Cat III ??

[cmarentis]

yup

[gualeta]

200 feet... not meters

[DarkOtrebla]

I cant imagine what they are thinking when they doest see the runaway until 200 meters from the ground and like 1 mile from the runway O_o!

The Fly art! 5/5

[lvcyberpimpin]

Just keep flying your flight simulator and leave the real flying to us pros.

[lvcyberpimpin]

That was for DarkOtrebla by the way.

[Importance0001]

Thanks Mr. ILS :p

[windh]

ILS is a handy thing at times. :)

[madummer]

fucking scary, but i thinks that is is pretty common to land like this in santiago, in that particular spot of the city there has always been fog in the mornings

[AreoCrayZ]

that was amazing. scary in real life. in a sim sure you can make a million mistakes and walk away alive!

[Putoboy808]

Nice landing!Perfect!

[QantasA330]

Smmmmmmmmmmooth landing

[Elkan65]

perfect landing...

Congratulation!!!

[aescobar32]

thank Mr. Autopilot =)

[navypilot17]

thats one fuckin awesome landing in that kind of fog, perfect approach too

[cmarentis]

Yes it was, the visibility improved as we were shooting the app.

[lakatosv]

Anyway, it's a great video!

[lakatosv]

No way it's a CAT IIIC approach, look at the RVR (runway visual range), the approach lights, etc... relatively 'good' visibility...

[cmarentis]

you are right, it wasnt a CAT IIIC, and we cant shoot those either, only IIIBs.

[shamma1977]

That is a CAT IIIc ILS with auto land.

Awesome video. Thanks for posting.

[Solejun]

Que emoción volver a ver un aterrizaje, después de haber sido 8 años tripulante de cabina, creo que la sensación mejor vivida eran los aterrizajes, lo volvi a vivir...gracias, sentí hasta los oleres del Galley y sus omelettes y del Aeropuerto de Santiago, con un tipico olor y muy caracteristico

[musico81986]

WOW! I think this was an autoland cuz I didn't hear the autopilot disconnect alarm! Couldn't see a damn thing, up until the threshold! Great video!!

+5

[srsns]

Great Video :)

[Gerardius]

Increíble aproximación y aterrizaje. Un vídeo excelente. Gracias por compartirlo.

[montbard]

was it catIII???

[djknightmare666]

cat III is a category of ILS approach so precise the plane can land its self

[PxPirate]

cat III actually means certain cloud/visibility requirements

[djknightmare666]

i no i am an instrument rated pilot :)

[walrusgh]

Gotta love ILS.

[mapleleafboy]

I think that this is an AUTO-LAND approach. It's too precise!!! ;-)

[mehdi4992]

oh yeah i like IFRS approaches :-)

[deathpilot16]

Impresionante

[mikecs73]

CHINGONSISIMO!!!!!

[ndpitch]

very nice

[mitgolden76]

nice video.. too bad it wasn't hand flown.

[kuyakev]

nice landing

[Manuelonen]

fantastico

[efesair]

nice done!

[diogopuppo]

Sensacional! e ainda pousou como uma Pena!

[Jpisanu]

There is something special about LAN pilots...they just always kiss the runway

[gio31brasil]

Lindo!!!

[brutomusic]

Amazing Landing!! Very beautiful how the runway just appeared at the end...

[w67]

kisss landing

kiss the FP please

[luismiguelgonzales]

Espectacular !!!

[niltoncpp]

PERFEITO!!!!!

[CFITOMAHAWK2]

Yes, lautaro68 I have over 4k hours as CFI and found English is the shortest and more efficient language to teach anything. Even when I speak Spanish the shortest and efficient way I researched to. English is still 20 to 30% shorter to say things.

[Tonny0909]

silky smooth langing. Very nice!

[86paulo95]

bellisimo

[CFITOMAHAWK2]

Smooth as it can get on Autopilot. Funny they are speaking Spanglish.

[danieldrosas]

q buena aproximacion...!!

[ntf50]

Felicitaciones. Excelente video.

[ntf50]

Felicitaciones. Excelente video.

[teamakita]

With IFR do they rely on the auto pilot heavilly or?

[MeatWater]

Yes and no. You rely on your own judgement, based on the information given through the instruments and chart material. The autopilot flies the aircraft, but you still monitor every single thing he does. Depending on terrain and weather, instruments can be affected negatively resulting in erratic readouts, thus the pilots need to keep an eye on the whole thing.

[ubrigand]

marvellous vid!

[CaptainAlexanderNor]

WOW, Nice and smooth landing:) nice vid.

[konagalvo]

Great Landing Bravo!

[maxifalconi]

Y yo que me emociono con un cessna 172, jajaj, notables videos!!

[DBotelho84]

that was a beautiful landing, i must say.

[eljojo123321]

Great vids man, my favourite plane is the 767 since I've jumpseated one and will be in that seat again in a few months :D!

[dnanban]

Thank God for ILS

[cmarentis]

exactly! it is a very good reference for VFR pilots.

[n310ea]

Can a VFR pilot use the ILS for landing as a back-up, as long as the weather is clear, or is the ILS only for IFR pilots?

[cmarentis]

Yes, you can, but ATC wont issue an authorization

for it. Also, VFR flight patterns are usually shorter than IFR ones. ;)

[thefsxflyer]

so, if you do use what will happen. I didnt even know you needed authorization for it. You can I am clearly not a pilot lol.
