Dornier 228 landing in Corvo

[antoniovictorbotelho]

amazing azorean pilots!! great landing and for this i take my hat off!

[toose70]

Flapless landing. No wonder it was hot.

[VS24AT]

No tail hook ?

[Damienm7]

did he stop in time ?

[291774191]

FDS piloto excelente!

[ruicp]

incrivel!

[venividiviciboss]

that was fuckin close over that fence!!!! shit what a great job :D

[HamburgMobile]

Looks that the touchdown point is at the beginning of the runway!? Is that right? Otherwise the approach was extremely dangerous and the pilots had much luck

[minhador]

fuck that shit

[castefatown]

AMAAAZING LANDING!

[bombcat91]

Stay calm, the 228-200 stay so reliable with her old and screaming TPE331. They miss to me, here in Caribbean...

[wanitek]

@bombcat91 air guadeloupe, air martinique and air caraibes!!!! lol miss them too

[Ameshdicto]

Correction.. they did have some degree of flaps 5%?

[fraekkchen]

amazing

[rearock12]

thats a i just shit my pants moment

[AccessAir]

Hmmmm, looks like they made a No FLAPS landing....

[janFS2004]

@AccessAir in this wind , flaps isn't good idea.

[Mr7165]

wow

holy shit

[emiratesA380NCL]

heyyy basshh herezz da playnne

[cd949604]

must had huge balls to land that

[rggfgjerjh]

i've always wanted to fly to corvo when my parents were stationed at lajes, i wondered what they used the Do-228 for and now i know

[Maverickbalde]

Amaizing, great pilot.

I never seen something like that.

[captanish]

the guy had no flaps selected... even with a gusty 10kts crosswind a do228 is very difficult to land on a normal runway let go on a stol field... ive personaly landed in a 35kt headwind on an airfield called jomsom VNJS in nepal

[deegames]

kd o flap porra

[aviationchannel2010]

Fuck :o

[ejuoi]

that pilot almost took out his landing gear, very dangerous landing. too fast.,

[vitorsanta]

Wow, now that's a scary runway!

[rcplaneguy1]

didnt see any flaps

[EllmoPilot]

@rcplaneguy1 he had flaps down but hard to see, i watched it a couple of times

[jjdsa]

Sim ja aterrei aqui no corvo e é mesmo assim assustador. lol

[LovinThe757]

WTF!!! Amazing!

[SuperDornier]

Maravilhoso. quando estive aí ele fez muito isso

[mariofontes77]

espetacular!!

mt bom video!

[unapro3]

Having another look though, it seems he may have had a flap malfunction which means he would have to land fast and land right at the beggining of the runway so he dosen't run off the end, in which case I should eat my earlier post....yum yum

[unapro3]

That was too close to ripping off the undercarriage to say it was THE best bad weather flying, good pilots don't cut it that close.

[lowlevelaviator]

Fonix! GRANDE ATERRAGEM! acabei de ver uma outra aterragem no Corvo espetacular ms com um Dash. Nao sei qual a melhor!...... O Corvo deve ser das melhores pistas para o spoting!

[djraimas2009]

Grande Esperiençia que tem este piloto . Muito bom parabens :) Força Ai

[PilotoHenrique]

no youtube todo mundo é piloto da força aérea !!!! eu sou da RAF e meu pai foi da Luftwaffe !!!! e minha mãe pilotou os mosquito na segunda guerra !!!!

[PTMTerror]

[poppomatic]

[djazores]

[djazores]

incrivel mesmo incrivel

[taiga284]

WOOOOOOOOOOW! If the wind were blowing less for a second, this DO228 would have been crashed into the hill!!! :-O

[ruicp]

o.O In the best

[A319CROATIA]

W_O_W. that was  nice

[lufthansa388]

WOW!!!

[ImHere2EntertainU]

Não percebo nada de aviação, sou um simples admirador. É um mundo que me fascina muito. Esta é uma das aterragens mais espectaculares que alguma vez vi.Parabéns ao piloto!!!

[carrilho124]

É uma aproximação extremamente complicada e ainda por cima as condições atmosféricas adversas

[kingairflyer6]

Wow!!! That was sooo close to the runway.

[plymouthapproach]

Very Good Video, Very Good Aircraft!

[SoCalyankeefan]

I think ill stay with TAP...

[swidd2]

Is there a control tower, or automated weather reporting on this airfield? Or any kind of airport official who the pilot could have called before departing?

[SenorSpode]

Actually, the pilot is apprised of the weather prior to leaving for any airport, let alone Corvo. He already knows. The final cap is when he flies over and checks out the windsock to see where the wind's coming from and selects his runway accordingly. Of course, you can only cope with weather. Airports suck as Corvo almost never have control towers. You're on your own.

[SenorSpode]

Airports "SUCH" as Corvo, that is...

[buIimic]

what does he think he's flying a bush plane? my God this pilot is good. he was sort of landing a 19 seater plane on an aircraft carrier in that condition. don't see much of a difference. damn good!

[SenorSpode]

The DO-228 is designed to take punishment equal to what the Twotter (Twin Otter) can take. It can be found from 9,100-foot-high Lukla in the Himalayas to Congo jungles, from the Caribbean to Corvo. Definitely a bush plane and then some.

[qwerty3008]

Do you honestly think the DO-228 is as tough as the Otter? Try landing the DO-228 off-strip and see how that goes. The Dornier is a good plane, but does not come close to the toughness of the Otter.

[SenorSpode]

The plane seems to speak for itself in many videos just as the Twin Otter does.

[qwerty3008]

The Dornier is not even close to as tough as the Otter..That retractable gear would shear off if it went into the serious off-strip sites.

[qwerty3008]

Cool thing with the Twin Otter is we just land it across the runway or taxiway when it's strong wind.

[qwerty3008]

Oh I would never compare a 228 to an Otter. I was just pointing out to spode down there that the 228 is not as tough, even though he seems to think it is. To my knowledge there is no airplane out there(same size) that is capable of doing what the Otter does. And that is why Viking is putting them back into production.

[ON3MR]

ta bem ta, nada mal, perigoso mas com treino isso atterra, quem nao mete la os pes sou eu hi hihi

[HenriqeOliveira]

Fodasse! Essa pista está bem perigosa :|

[Tuckie]

Parabems au piloto! :)

[carrilho124]

Possa!!!!

Por um triz não ficava sem trens

Bom filme

[rbsmr]

Gostava de visitar a Ilha do Corvo! Acho que vou pensar duas vezes antes do fazer!!!

[margaridasaramago]

ah vá lá... o avião é seguríssimo ;) ja fui la 15 vezes e sobrevivi para contar a historia!

[SenorSpode]

Holy SHIT! That was some of THE best bad-weather flying I've seen! Buy that pilot anything he wants!

[tirssons]

QUE MIEDOOOOO!!!! da la sensación de que va a chocar con el principio de la pista..... impresionante la habilidad del piloto

[luismelo16]

meu deus! meu rico estomago lol!

mt bom!

[wildcvu]

grandessissima aterragem...

Bom video!
