It's called landing on the numbers. The numbers being the large painted numbers at the leading tip of the runway, that describes the compass bearing in the plane when that plane is on final approach. A runway that requires the plane to land by flying west, which is 270 degrees compass bearing, is runway 27. So this pilot was landing on the numbers, most likely because the runway was shorter than normal. Normal being about 10,000 feet.
@Budsmoker72 i totally agree st matin is like that and besides the pilots arent looking at the peopl i bet teir looking at their instruments so they dont crash or anything
Amazing? You prohably don't landed in San Francisco - It's almost the same like here - the difference is just, theres not a beach,but a quai,were the lane begins,the approach is similiar like this here

EXTREME DICKHEAD Videoing the Landing more like it
Why would you stand there? No only is it Dangerous to Pilot and anyone on board but You were breaking Federal Law by being deliberately in the landing path of an aircraft!
When did the word extreme replace the meaning of text book?
Nothing extreme about that landing. A little strange someone decided to put a tarmac right there but in reality, what's the difference between that and a grassy field? The plane is supposed to land on the tarmac so the fact that it is very close to a body of water doesn't really matter to the pilot.

I wanna go there :'(, ive heard for the KLM that the MD-11 will take over the sint maartin flight. so no 747 but a MD-11 that's what i've heard. i prefer the almighty 747
that was a great landing he probably had to cut his approach short because of the small runway..it also was probably like 20 feet above the fence but that still close haha
Rated to fly with one pilot. Infact there is no instruments on the Right side panel, usually considered "Instructors" panel. I said "Single Pilot" not "Single Person"
the extreme closeness you can get to the plane to film it? :P certainly not an extreme landing, pretty nice one actually, looked smooth as a baby's prosterior.

Google Princess Juliana Intl its an airport right next to the beach and if you look there is a road in between the spotter and the fence.
So before you call someone a "EXTREME DICHEAD" to some research

Youre breaking federal law by being a retard. Notice how he was standing on the road, which is adjacent to a public beach.
