Insane Landing In Honduras

[MegaADZZY]

Very skilled these pilots. What a great video

[SecsSells]

Watch it here from the cockpit. The approach plate must look like a corkscrew.

who was the fucking idiot who decide to build this airport next to a hill,houses and roads

[gruff5]

@adonnis010983 I think it was the other way around. The idiots built the hill, houses and roads next to the airport.

boooring Cuzco, Peru is more dangerous

first dilike

[MrLiamCooley]

Why is this so insane?

[zoulation]

@MrLiamCooley

get in the pilot's place and you'll see if you have the gutts to pull an approach like that. Doesnt make you any cooler to say that. ;)

[MrLiamCooley]

No its just that ive only been in a plane 2ce in ottowa and calgary so i really dont know. is it b/c he has to come in really fast or slow or low to the ground?

[zoulation]

It's because he gets too close to the ground. So from his point of view it seems that he is so close (in terms of radio altimetry); however, the barometer (which calculated the Mean Sea Level of the A/C) is much different. Plus the Elevation of the Aerodrome. So it's real challenge because he is pulling an approach called (Circle-to-land) which is tricky when you are doing it visually in an environment such as that.

@zoulation true!!!!

[zoulation]

Keep in mind, that throughout all this process he has to maintain a the correct altitude in order to land exactly at the touch-down zone (of course with the correct glide slope that the aerodrome specifies). There might be Lateral assists that the runway gives all incoming planes (aka Localizers) to guide them to the runway direction. I dont know if this airport has it though. I hope this helps:)I'm no pro at this, and I dont know if there are any other factors to consider, but this is the jist.

[MrLiamCooley]

OK THX

@MrLiamCooley

[futturistiko]

anda pal carajo

[firstchino]

nice,, I am going back there next year,

[reliableremo]

esos pilotos gue aterrizan alli tienen guevos,para aeronautica civil las dimensiones del aeropuerto son ilegales,solo para avionetas.creeo gue tiene mas guevos el govierno de dejarlos aterrizar alli!

[HectorJW2007]

Alguien de Tegucigalpa que se vaya a grabar muchos aterrizajes en Toncontin con esos aviones grandes antes de que los trasladen al otro aeropuerto, quedan como 50 dias

[eclipsetank]

Thats the best landing experience I've ever had! I recommend it to everybody!

[rmcdedms]

yes is the best...i live here in tegucigalpa and i love to go and see planes landing is just the best

[spartonomega11]

[Bethcat61]

Incredible landing for sure.
