My CFII talks about his buddy landing in Germany, min fuel and all alternates below minimums, 0 RVR he left the Loc hold on and used the Rad Alt to know when to flare. Couldn't see the ground when he stopped so he called for a follow me car, a half hour later the car found him by running into his landing gear.
Wow. That is one of the first genuine CATIII landings I've seen. I don't know if I would have the nerve or confidence in my instruments to make a landing like that. Makes me appreciate pilots all the more.
I usually don't like music in aviation videos, but with a nice choice of song and beautiful footage, this is probably the most inspiring aviation video on youtube.
This video is the best display of shooting an ILS in the real world on the web. I did this for 33 years and it brings back good and bad memories. The only thing missing is seeing the hole the aircraft in front of you drilled through the clouds. I only saw the hole twice.
Awesome shot of the cloud layer,you can see where the previous arrival cut down through the clouds! Nice shot ! Thanks for sharing the vid !All you guys sims are great practice but the sensory feelings of true flight just dont happen sitting in your game chairs!
Most of their training?, Every airliner passed by a PPL, ATPL. PPL il VFR, so no simulator needed, ATPL, you use simulator, but you have lots of practice, lost of studient for ATPL, was stunned cause of my level of IFR, but I promice you, in a real plane, it isnt like a simulator, there is real life, (for the terrorist, he had only 1 chance to crash, its a stress (for him )) lots of turbulence, wind effect arent modelised by simulator, after Maybe he train a little bit in simulator,
FSX is a great training aid. I have thousands of hours on it. But only if you do everything you can to make it like real life. (rudders/yoke/radio stack and a fast comp ect) And it is counterproductive to train practice without a CFI, odds are you will have to retrain yourself on most everything you learn. It is not real though, flying in real life is completely different in most every way.
Well I don't really like the fact that a computer can land the plane ( assuming this is a CAT IIIc approach) because it just takes the real job out of flying, but this reduces the work load greatly. I just hope people never become to confident in computers to replace the pilot!!!!
Sorry, but there is nothing wrong with being a flight simulator pilot. I started on sims when I was 12. It helped me in my training to become a real pilot. I probably have saved $3,000 so far.
I love the wake turbulence pattern in the cloud cover. BTW: The last thing you want as a pilot in such conditions is the distraction of music! And those did not look like Cat II mins.
the RVR is probably closer to 1000 ft. You can tell because runway edge lights are usually spaced at 200 ft intervals. so 4-6 lights x 200 ft = 800-1200 RVR
There are other advantage of being a small plane. They can choose to abort a landing much easier and later then their big jet cousins. They can descend to almost ground level before making that decision. Even in above video runway was visible 100 feet above the ground. So a Cessna on an ILS approach could have made it too, if it had too do it.
DubousDrewski to answer your question, people who fly Cessna's check the weather before they do fly. Secondly Cessna's are equipped and capable to land in quite severe weather, maybe not as bad as this though. They have ILS landing's.
The motre I read the comments the more I want to add..Beergut111, do you think it was a Cat3 (A), Cat3(B) or Cat3(C)? Did the aircraft have a head up display (which you cannot see from the camera position) and remember that certain countries/states have different minima and as such different meanings as to what CAT3 is.
Oh and forgot to add..Beergut 111, your response to the video indicates to me that you are not an actual seasoned pilot. If you were/are then you too have a lot to learn in aviation and your response would not have been as such.
I've only just hit on this video, so please excuse the delay in my response.
This is a cat3 approach. Doesn't mean to say that it is a cat3 landing as visibility can shift within 30 secs. I'm more than happy with designation of Cat3 and video response recording.
This was amazing. But I can't help but wonder what the heck someone in a Cessna would be able to do in this situation. Without CAT, you can't land in this, can you? So do you just fly to another airport and hope things are better there?
your a moron if you think the weather in this video is good for CAT I minimums lol another fake wunnabe pretend youtube pilot who thinks he knows everything because he has 600hrs logged in flight simulator X
I have forgotten know blah blah blah why i was one of the 1st blah blah blah .... Ya sir, I'm sure you flew with Charles Lindberg too... You sound like a complete jackass... but your still right I still have alot more to learn about aviation
he was giving out false information and I disagreed with it Im not giving pilots a bad name what would you know about that anyways..... your a student pilot who is at the pre-solo stage....
@JATO457 Well first of all. I was talking about all of the people that have never set foot in an actual cockpit. You i can somewhat understand if you have actually are a pilot. Are you an airline pilot?
@packerfan084 I am not an airline pilot yet. (I go to Embry Riddle) But I am certified on the ATR 42 already and I have used an A320 Motion Simulator and landed in 3 mile visiblility on a CAT III approach into SFO.
@JATO457 Wow. Impressive, I want to be an airline pilot to. I just am not sure how i want to get my licenses. Either college, a local FBO, or i am also considering ATP.
@packerfan084 Try getting into delta academy or Embry Riddle. An ATP License is needed to fly for any airline. A Commercial license is what you need to be able to do charter flights privately.
@JATO457 I would defiantly go to one of those academy's accept they cost way too much money. I have heard from airline pilots to just go to college and then get your licenses on the side with a local FBO.
@JATO457 you want to know how i know that your an idiot/ liar ..... you did a cat iii approach in 3 mile visibility thats cool and all.... except if you have 3 miles visibility your flying VFR jackass with the appropriate ceilings
@packerfan084 lol noob thanks to FS at least i know how to control a 737-200Adv/300/400/500/600/700/800,MD-80,A320,A321 & more DO I HAVE TO CONTINUE FCKING BITCH ?
@Spy1228 Uhm... ya okay. Good job. FS9/FSX/X-Plane - I use them all the time, but let me tell you that it's NOTHING compared to real world flying. You don't know how to "control" anything - you only know how to "MAYBE" operate the aircraft's systems and read the instruments - that's all MSFS is good for. When it comes to handling a plane... go fly a real one. It's nothing close to FS. So don't continue... you're just making yourself look silly. :)
@Spy1228 Ha how old are you? noob, really? And you think you know how to control them. There is a big difference between actually being in a cockpit at 32K feet. and sitting on your fat ass at the computer.
You are clearly ignorant, for more than one reason at that. First of all, third party software add ons are designed extremely realistic these days, incorporating both aerodynamic principles and clones of automated control and IRU navigation logic. While it's very optimistic to believe you even understand what I'm talking about I'll end the sim topic by pointing out that the FAA even has approved a PCAT-D package from X-plane to be used and logged as sim time-
assuming certain criteria have been met. Next up, your comment about someone "thinking they can control them" ("them" being a large aircraft I presume). Well, If you can move a yoke that's pretty much all there is to it. Trim, proper application of technique and procedures as well as posessing the practical knowledge required for a professional pilot is another thing. Yeah, larger aircraft controls and higher dynamic pressures make for more resistance on control surfaces,
But thats why engineers thought of that and used hydraulic pressure to manipulate those controls. And finally, Im calling BS on appleglory. "CPL MEIR?" I assume you're trying to lie about Commercial Pilot License Multi-engine Instrument rating?
Well if your gonna lie at least try and fake your profile which says you are a private pilot. Your PRIVILEGES would read: Private Pilot, Commercial pilot. Then your RATINGS on the reverse would read category and class such as Airplane Single Engine Land, Airplane Multiengine Land, Instrument Airplane. I know because I'm looking at mine right now. SO STFU and stop giving other people a hard time about not being something you aren't yourself.
@danny31235 Yeah right, flight sim looks not like real flying at all..... Even some stupid terrorists were able to fly into a couple of towers by practising flying with flight simulator....
@PBTommy I fly in real, I also fly on simulator, I began simulator before flying in real, I can say you that, a simulator like Flight simulator X Or even X plane, coudnt make you a pilot, or something like... You can buy tons of addons for improve the simulation, A real plane, is VERY difficult to master, and aiming 2 towers, couldnt be done with a simulator.
@kaosletic Well, most pilots who start flying as a first officer did most of their training on a real flight simulator (for example the 737 Full Flight Sim). I have a friend who is flying recently as co-pilot for a European airline, and he took me into one of those simulators for a 2-hour session. I can tell you how stunned he was by seeing how much experience i had because of playing FSX, and the way how i was able to fly a 737 in that simulator.
@PBTommy But I sure at 99% That he was trained for being a real pilots before, not only simulator, do you think every body can pilot a plane... No, and there is less that can pilot a airliner plane (737, 747, A321)
@PBTommy I don't know about Europe but in the US captain's get that way after years in commuter and connector airlines. Do they get sim time? Of coarse but before they sit in that right seat they already have years of experience as a PIC. You don't get hired with nothing but simulator time.
@packerfan084 - I play with FSX...if anything it has greatly enhanced my already high respect for all pilots....folks this ain't as easy as it looks...even with autopilot and autoland.....there alot of very good pilots out there that make sure wannabe's like me get where we need to be safely.
Stupid, Learn more about aviation, you don't have any FUCKING IDEA ABOUT AVIATION, IF YOU DOESN'T KNOW DONT TALK, left to the professionals Talk about aviation.
CAT III Is a landing with an RVR shorter than 200meters (656ft) and and DH shorter than 50ft above touchdown zone.
you need to do some research, then go out and fly these approaches. nothing you typed makes sence. With vis less than 600ft, you wouldnt see the approah lights, cause you would already be over the runway landing.
calm down kid, its just a video, dont make it such a big deal.
because the visibilty is about 1/2 mile. you can tell by how far you can see the pproach lights. The plane was at about 300 ft when the first set came into view.
i do this stuff all the time. The problem is all the youtube aviation experts believe that EVERY approach is a catt II autoland. You can go fly cat III approaches all day long, but this is cat I weather in this video. Any questions?
Because beergut111 is either a wannabe or a complete idiot.
First off, I'm more inclined to believe the person who posted the video. If he says he was shooting a CATIII, then that is what he was shooting. The plates are completely different for CAT I and CAT III approaches.
Second, if he was a real pilot, he would know it doesn't matter what he sees in the video. That doesn't mean squat when determining what approach to shoot. It is all about reported visibility and ceilings.
@beergut111 Ive never understood why people feel compelled to comment on things which they know nothing about. To begin, the video gives absolutely no clues about contact altitude, or the RVR. So to say he broke out at 300' makes you look like an idiot, because everyone knows that you have no way of knowing that. Furthermore, the RVR is less then 500', this is known by counting the number of CLEARLY VISIBLE approach bars, which are separated by 100ft. Therefore.........ITS A CAT 3. OMG!!!!!
I can count 9 rows of Touchdown Zone lighting. TDZ lighting is spaced 30 meters apart so that equals at least an RVR of 885.
And if you look at the edge lights you can clearly count 5 and they are spaced 60 meters apart so thats 300 meters or an RVR of at least 984.
Flying in and out of SFO daily I have done my fair share of CAT III's. Our mins are 600 RVR (183 meters). And I can attest that you can only see 3 edge lights at 600.
Category 3 landing is when the runway visual range (RVR) is shorter than 700 ft. or about 1/8 mile. Very difficult to do without a Cat 3 certified autopilot.
@Mr123liverpoolfc: because pilot need to be capable of manual landing in case it's needed, and by using always automated landings the pilot is not trained to handle emergency situations.
Instrument pilots have a brighter outlook. We know it's always beautiful on top!

@Spy1228 Ha how old are you? noob, really? And you think you know how to control them. There is a big difference between actually being in a cockpit at 32K feet. and sitting on your fat ass at the computer.

You are clearly ignorant, for more than one reason at that. First of all, third party software add ons are designed extremely realistic these days, incorporating both aerodynamic principles and clones of automated control and IRU navigation logic. While it's very optimistic to believe you even understand what I'm talking about I'll end the sim topic by pointing out that the FAA even has approved a PCAT-D package from X-plane to be used and logged as sim time-

assuming certain criteria have been met. Next up, your comment about someone "thinking they can control them" ("them" being a large aircraft I presume). Well, If you can move a yoke that's pretty much all there is to it. Trim, proper application of technique and procedures as well as posessing the practical knowledge required for a professional pilot is another thing. Yeah, larger aircraft controls and higher dynamic pressures make for more resistance on control surfaces,
col737zc 1 year ago
But thats why engineers thought of that and used hydraulic pressure to manipulate those controls. And finally, Im calling BS on appleglory. "CPL MEIR?" I assume you're trying to lie about Commercial Pilot License Multi-engine Instrument rating?
col737zc 1 year ago
Well if your gonna lie at least try and fake your profile which says you are a private pilot. Your PRIVILEGES would read: Private Pilot, Commercial pilot. Then your RATINGS on the reverse would read category and class such as Airplane Single Engine Land, Airplane Multiengine Land, Instrument Airplane. I know because I'm looking at mine right now. SO STFU and stop giving other people a hard time about not being something you aren't yourself.

@PBTommy I fly in real, I also fly on simulator, I began simulator before flying in real, I can say you that, a simulator like Flight simulator X Or even X plane, coudnt make you a pilot, or something like... You can buy tons of addons for improve the simulation, A real plane, is VERY difficult to master, and aiming 2 towers, couldnt be done with a simulator.
kaosletic 6 months ago
@kaosletic Well, most pilots who start flying as a first officer did most of their training on a real flight simulator (for example the 737 Full Flight Sim). I have a friend who is flying recently as co-pilot for a European airline, and he took me into one of those simulators for a 2-hour session. I can tell you how stunned he was by seeing how much experience i had because of playing FSX, and the way how i was able to fly a 737 in that simulator.
PBTommy 6 months ago
@PBTommy But I sure at 99% That he was trained for being a real pilots before, not only simulator, do you think every body can pilot a plane... No, and there is less that can pilot a airliner plane (737, 747, A321)
sorry for my english, it isnt my first language
kaosletic 6 months ago
@PBTommy I don't know about Europe but in the US captain's get that way after years in commuter and connector airlines. Do they get sim time? Of coarse but before they sit in that right seat they already have years of experience as a PIC. You don't get hired with nothing but simulator time.

beergut111 2 years ago
Stupid, Learn more about aviation, you don't have any FUCKING IDEA ABOUT AVIATION, IF YOU DOESN'T KNOW DONT TALK, left to the professionals Talk about aviation.
CAT III Is a landing with an RVR shorter than 200meters (656ft) and and DH shorter than 50ft above touchdown zone.
grotter50 2 years ago
you need to do some research, then go out and fly these approaches. nothing you typed makes sence. With vis less than 600ft, you wouldnt see the approah lights, cause you would already be over the runway landing.
calm down kid, its just a video, dont make it such a big deal.

I can't understand how the user "beergut111" can say: This is a CAT I
OMFG
grotter50 2 years ago
because the visibilty is about 1/2 mile. you can tell by how far you can see the pproach lights. The plane was at about 300 ft when the first set came into view.
i do this stuff all the time. The problem is all the youtube aviation experts believe that EVERY approach is a catt II autoland. You can go fly cat III approaches all day long, but this is cat I weather in this video. Any questions?

grotter50 2 years ago
Because beergut111 is either a wannabe or a complete idiot.
First off, I'm more inclined to believe the person who posted the video. If he says he was shooting a CATIII, then that is what he was shooting. The plates are completely different for CAT I and CAT III approaches.
Second, if he was a real pilot, he would know it doesn't matter what he sees in the video. That doesn't mean squat when determining what approach to shoot. It is all about reported visibility and ceilings.

beergut111 2 years ago
@beergut111 Ive never understood why people feel compelled to comment on things which they know nothing about. To begin, the video gives absolutely no clues about contact altitude, or the RVR. So to say he broke out at 300' makes you look like an idiot, because everyone knows that you have no way of knowing that. Furthermore, the RVR is less then 500', this is known by counting the number of CLEARLY VISIBLE approach bars, which are separated by 100ft. Therefore.........ITS A CAT 3. OMG!!!!!
charronl1 2 years ago
You are incorrect.
I can count 9 rows of Touchdown Zone lighting. TDZ lighting is spaced 30 meters apart so that equals at least an RVR of 885.
And if you look at the edge lights you can clearly count 5 and they are spaced 60 meters apart so thats 300 meters or an RVR of at least 984.
Flying in and out of SFO daily I have done my fair share of CAT III's. Our mins are 600 RVR (183 meters). And I can attest that you can only see 3 edge lights at 600.
This is definitely NOT 150 RVR.

What does "ILS CAT III" stands for?
CarloADJ 2 years ago
Instrument Landing System
Category 3 landing is when the runway visual range (RVR) is shorter than 700 ft. or about 1/8 mile. Very difficult to do without a Cat 3 certified autopilot.

Mr123liverpoolfc 2 years ago
@Mr123liverpoolfc: because pilot need to be capable of manual landing in case it's needed, and by using always automated landings the pilot is not trained to handle emergency situations.
