[NickVenice93]

WOW amazing approach

[punckhole]

at least liat is much faster than ATR 72

[vallie231]

thank you for choosing american eagle a member of the one world alliance ;)!!!! and its an ATR72...listen to how peaceful inside the aircraft is...as opposed to LIAT!!

[musico81986]

Is this an ATR? ATR 42 or 72?

[kenshinvin]

ATR 72

[deathtononbelievers]

American Eagle only operates ATR 72s in the Caribbean as far as I know.

[jwhoneycomb]

@deathtononbelievers , Not true.

[itachibomb]

Im from Dominica and i love to land there

[andyrooo636]

Makes me laugh when they clap lol what do they expect ??

[Jacobdead]

to crash

[beef671]

FYI AA5062 originated out of San Juan PR about 300 miles northwest and about an hour and a half flight time.

[MattA2010]

that Flight Attendant has a really annoying, nasaly voice!

[ianf417]

where was this flight from?

[beef671]

Gerat video man. From what I can see and know (I been there twice I live in Antigua) the east to west approach which is more better than west to east which is diffcult and dangerous.

[hossmd80]

Landing East to West would me MUCH easier. However, in the event of a go-around on a single-engine, the ATR would not theoretically be able to outclimb the terrain west of the runway. That's why Am. Eagle ATR's always fly the approach from west to east.

[mattrat27]

too bad you cant see the view from the cockpit in this video. I used to fly for american eagle out of san juan, and have flown this approach many times. It was some of the most fun flying I've had in my career.

[kenshinvin]

really!

[dc9super80]

There is a video Caribbean Star landing in Dominica, cockpit view. Mattrat27 is right, it is a fun approach.

[milliondollarchic]

is that the only # American eagle they have to come here????

[nathendbossman1]

2000ft or more like up 2 5oooft,, morne Diablotin just to the west of the airport is 4747ft

[kenshinvin]

Thats a super kool video!!! The approach was very challenging, numerous turns were made on short final at very low altitudes. I think the traffic pattern altitude at Dominica is around 2000ft. Very nice landing, the pilot obviously had good airspeed control apon flaring for touch down, thats one the reasons he landed sooo smooth. That was a great flight for the crew of American Eagle flight#5062. Great Job guys!!! Well done!!!

[kosovar4life]

wow so many dangerous hills it looks like its gonna crash

[thunderdragon14]

That landing was really smooth, I was waiting for the plane to slam into the runway like they usually do, but it didn't.

[john2k24]

i love how people from the carribean clap after landing hahaha. awesome fuckin video. love the shadow of the plane u can see around like 30-40 seconds. one of my best flights was from bradley to san juan just breaking cloud cover you could see a perfect silhouette of the 757 on the clouds. fucking cool. oh ya and american eagle pilots got it made, they might not get paid as much as AA captains but get to fly to real cool destinations all over the carribean.

[atr72500]

OMG!! i can believe they land at runway 09 at TDPD... aww well... very smooth landing though... i love ATRs!!!

[ds2112]

Missing an SJUDOM jumpseat ride is the one thing I miss from when I left being an American Eagle/Executive Flight Dispatcher in Dallas (2001-2002).

Excellent video!

[madipides]

Great video! Loved the view of the approach.

[seno862]

tell the flight attendent to shut up pls....she is putting me to sleep wth her boring voice tone...the speech is good, but the tone of her voice gotta change

[seno862]

Smooth landing

[jwes]

Flown in there many times, always fun and challanging. Great video, check out some of mine....Wes

[cochi747]

nice!

[nugget8000]

i didnt know jets landed at DOM (Melville Hall) until one day when i witnessed one fly over Hodges Bay to set up for the approach. But they must have overshot the runway because it came around a few minutes later and did the same approach. That was late April 2004. Thanks for the posting

[lucianmaddness]

the ATR 72 isn't a jet.

[tolamanz]

Yes Jets do land in dominica... its an amerijet plane(its a boeing 727). Its a cargo plane

[DJOUSSSS]

This is a great video because, enventhough it was brief you filmed the interior of the aircraft and that's nice because most people do not know what inside these ATR look like

[seno862]

bram jedd

[cutasscrew]

pussy :P.. lol

[af4cz]

hahaha! Yeah I know!

[af4cz]

Seems quite dangerous indeed. I personally don't like getting that low to the trees at those attitudes :-)

Thanks for the upload my friend!
