CRAZY Low Landing at St Maarten Princess Juliana Int'l ! DHL C208 Caravan

[4kx]

great place;]

[armageddin112]

then its the airbus A-320 or A-330

[pilotdynan]

@armageddin112 Did you look at the top raited comment? his right.

sorry :( the sound isn't a A-320 or A-330. Better luck next time = )

[SuperAquariumDude]

i see it's the Antanov AN- 225

[pilotdynan]

@SuperAquariumDude sorry not that big ;) Better luck next time = )

[armageddin112]

i think its a 737

[pilotdynan]

@armageddin112 Sorry no :( it's just a little bigger =)

[iceblaster071]

i think it's 767, am i right?

[pilotdynan]

@iceblaster071 actually even smaller :( Better luck next time = )

[CaptainZaZen]

Pilots do a contest, the one who hits the fence gets a price from the others. A French 747 won some years ago, took a part of the fence down!

[HerpaReviews]

Is it the B747 or something?

[pilotdynan]

@HerpaReviews well it's something but not a 747 :( actually smaller. Better luck next time =)

[HerpaReviews]

@pilotdynan Haha, Too bad..

[delaney4708]

@pilotdynan b737?

[pilotdynan]

@delaney4708 you want a tips? lock at the top rated comment ;)

[daeymz]

that's sick lol... any lower and it's game over

[plane4111]

An A330/40?

[pilotdynan]

@plane4111 sorry no :( it isn't a Airbus. Better luck next time =)

[Yougimpytube]

He only missed the fence by 2 or 3 feet.

[FredrikYstenes]

sick :p

[mitsukai111]

maybe he was instucted to land short of a taxiway or something

[XXairplanemanXX]

is that a simulator?!

[pilotdynan]

@XXairplanemanXX no! it's as real as it can get = )

[flyguyify]

I'm very sure that the pilot in the Caravan came in that low on purpose, trying to put on a show

[gumbysheetz]

descent videos. you use a tri-pod and make very stable videos. keep up the good job and keep having fun making them.

[2legit2hit]

i u were underneath and u jumped, youd be so done

[DrBongify]

DHL is coming!!!

[A2StaticX]

@pilotdynan ok so i may be wrong but do you know why he came so low?

[pilotdynan]

@A2StaticX I think he just wanted to play with us ;)

[100computerkid]

@pilotdynan nahh he you have to land like that thay land that low so thay dont go around then thay pullup there nose to land

[MrAUFANATIC]

lol flying school bus

[thatciggaweed]

its cool, but on a plane of that size its unnecessary, the big liners come in much higher than him but they look lower because of the size, and he's coming in with no flaps probably about 60-70 percent throttle, accident waiting to happen there, probably gets a thrill going that low and who wouldn't, but a tiny plane like that should really make more of an effort to keep away from people and obstacles, not try to get a close as he can.

[AirlinePilotguy5]

@thatciggaweed the cessna 208 caravan is not that small at all so i wouldnt consider it tiny

[eb62224]

the peope there just sits there like it's nothing

[minecraftboy79]

lol the planes about half a meter of the fence pause at 0:10

[jimmywacked]

Damn DHL. FedEx wouldn't even try that..!!!

[TAJIKROCKS]

I was about to curse because I Thought it was flight simulashit

[A2StaticX]

Im not saying its fake but at the begining was fake, no trianed pilot will land vertical, they cove from more of an angle. But the landing wasn't fake.

ps my spelling sucks

[pilotdynan]

@A2StaticX no problem :)

well I can say that nothing in this video in fake, this pilot did this alot of times during my stay there. I guess he was just playing with us ;)

[codzomz]

@A2StaticX the whole video was real, it is called: pilots aren't robots and like to have fun without endangering the lives of others, so they buzz an area LEGALLY, as low as they feel safe to go, and then keep power in to counteract the displaced threshold, flare, and land how many hours of flying do you have? You must have some to be juristicting a professional pilots viable flight path in a video...

[jumpinjonnypeters]

DHL heard there was a UPS man standing on the beach!!!

[skbenergy]

@jumpinjonnypeters  lol

[starcraftman1000]

found my new hair salon

[tjibbey]

WOW! He flows lower than the Boeing 747 from KLM! 0:10!

[auaiao9]

Looks like to me the fence is bent where the wheels fly over.

[pilotdynan]

@auaiao9 it's bent because that people is hanging on it when the planes are taking off :)

[dmonaco15]

@pilotdynan lol, seeing peopl hang on from the BACKBLAST of a 747 is allways funny as hell

[HC32KING]

show off much

[Sjoerd9314]

lol the cesna 208 definitely did this on purpose, he doesn't have to be as low as a 747 XD

[therolff112again]

Dont Jump



[verte95]

In the first seconds i thought that it is an Simulator

[immortalguitars]

it's st. maartens, everyone has to come in low. i had to land a gulfstream there once, and the gs is really low on that one. it's like trying to thread a needle at 100 kts.

[sofruity3]

why did he have to practice a low approach he has a small aircraft?

[NA734]

@sofruity3 It's because it's SXM, where people go to be buzzed by aircraft, among other things :) Thus, pilots buzz beachgoers on purpose, knowing that it's one big attraction in Saint Maarten :)

[Yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh]

could have definetely jumped and touched a tire

[jimmywacked]

FedEx comes in much Lower. LOL

[virtualcolditz]

What's wrong with that? All aircraft have to come in low when they land. In fact, they come all the way down to the ground, how crazy is that!!

[IrishAviationGuy]

Could it be a 757?

[pilotdynan]

@IrishAviationGuy and you could be right ;) Congratulations 757 is right =)

[sjl0523]

@IrishAviationGuy It's definitely Airbus A380.

[pilotdynan]

@sjl0523 the sound? Sorry no :( Better luck next time = )

[AirbusFreak1]

DHL ?

[DannyBoySmith1993]

@AirbusFreak1 well done.

[AirbusFreak1]

@DannyBoySmith1993 I´m from germany and DHL too

[MrPORSISOCA]

boing 737

[pilotdynan]

@MrPORSISOCA a little bigger

[adrianecarol]

imagine vc tranza e fae sexo

[adrianecarol]

santo deu 

[RafaMusic2011]

Pause  in 10seg .... wtf?

[OpieThePug]

Everyone who says Airbus or Boeing is joking, right? You ARE joking?

[pilotdynan]

@OpieThePug they're talking about the sound at the end!

[cutasscrew]

think the guy lost his job after this video posted

[yo246897531]

@cutasscrew nah, all planes get this close when landing in st. maarten.

[pilotman1009]

Boeing 737 or 757

[pilotdynan]

@pilotman1009 one of those are right

[KickUrToe]

@pilotdynan They follow the PAPI idiot! They don't do that on purpose. :P

[pilotdynan]

@KickUrToe I can assure you that he had 4 red lights on the papi. he is Way under the glide slope

[94grapevine94]

all that planes are low in st. maarten

[NickArnold92]

Chicken anyone?

[emmetgb]

757

[1055939]

Lol i bet this guys ex wife is on the beach and he was trying to hit her

[AKPaper]

I guess 777 or a330

[santy1796]

pause in tehe secound 0:10

[tigerjonn]

Pause at :10 .

[DaveDamnit]

"you've got mail"

[legomovies64]

I'm gonna say 757?

[pilotdynan]

@legomovies64 And you're right = )

[legomovies64]

@pilotdynan Haha,I win! :P

[RaGeInsomniac]

TRY TO FUCKING LAY ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS ?! :D

[blackopsbrothers2]

oh dam, i was certain that it was airbus, i can tell the difference when they are in the air, ok well 777

[06ltzrider]

Is it a Boeing 747?

[blackopsbrothers2]

hmmm, is it a321?? im thinkin airbus

[pilotdynan]

@blackopsbrothers2 pretty close :) but think Boeing ;) Better luck next time

[xBurnedBridgex]

@blackopsbrothers2 It is a Cessna Grand Caravan actually...

[blackopsbrothers2]

@xBurnedBridgex

wtf, now im just gonna sit in a whole

[blackopsbrothers2]

the sound is a airbus a340??

[pilotdynan]

@blackopsbrothers2 sorry no :( it's smaller. Better luck next time = )

[AzizTekK]

He was playing air limbo ^^

[GPMSharpCommand]

Wow, I would of hated to of been a basket ball player. Lol.

[JMCporsche]

nice photography. looks lime flight sim

[skilzed]

@punchingmonkies

[Gabe4D]

Planes that little have no need to be that low, this was showing off, notice how long it took him to just put the wheels down at that altitude, he was gliding until at an good speed for landing :P

[Pvjinflight]

@Gabe4D Yeah St Maarten runway is very many times longer than Caravan would need to land, clearly no need to really go that low if they didnt want to :D

[andresvalentin1]

jajajajajs se paso aii

[EyeSquaredAre]

Just another jackass pilot entertaining himself.

[1092cb]

in then someone is laying on the ground with there head slit down the middle lol

[norbi330hfl]

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WAAAWWWWWWWWW­WW

[hiimkian]

The reason why it happens alot : The parking for DHL Aircraft is at the beginning of the runway , not the terminal

[punchingmonkies]

DHL is not in the business for giving fucks.

[inVarial]

He comes THAT close, but still waits to touch down.. why.

[blondorican]

@inVarial Because he's fast as fuck, Caravans can come in at 70 knots or less if they want..., he was showing off

[inVarial]

@blondorican Makes sense.

[Lloydsss]

Every plane touch the ground, when landing :) This time is a beach the front of the airstrip :)

I loved it, when I was there. Amazing, beautiful place!

[Biess133]

First few seconds in thought it was a simulator

[FSXfan007]

i think its just to tease the beach visitors :)

[zachishellacool]

am i the only one who thinks they can jump up and touch it?

[samthelittleman1]

hey great video!!! What kind of tripod do you have? :)

[pilotdynan]

@samthelittleman1 I use a Manfrotto tripod with a head maid for filming, I'm sorry but I can't remember the exact name. 

[samthelittleman1]

@pilotdynan o its fine! i am just looking for a good tripod and that one that you had seemed great thank anyway :)

[Eddo1998]

"pilot" Hey, I'm bored, lets try and take out the fence near the runway!

[123tonysony]

It's 747.

[MrSTRIKER52]

guess the aircraft sound: boeing 727?

[pilotdynan]

@MrSTRIKER52 it's Boeing, but not the 757 :( Better luck next time = )

[MrSTRIKER52]

@pilotdynan i said 727 you said 757 :) is it?

[pilotdynan]

@MrSTRIKER52 hehe. I'm sorry I'm quite tired ;) what I tried to say was "it's Boeing, but not the 727 :( Better luck next time = )" well I guess I kind of reviled the answer. Sorry :(

[tomibewi]

@pilotdynan 777 Ge-90

[pilotdynan]

@tomibewi I'm sorry but it's no that big :( Better luck next time = )

[blondorican]

@pilotdynan That's what she said

[MrSTRIKER52]

@pilotdynan is it the boeing 727?

[saboter123]

pretty sure that was 4 red on the PAPI :D

[Hautamekki]

Its not normal....

Its a small plane, he doesn't need to come so deep. BUUUUUUT a lot of pilots fly deep to give a show to the people on the beach, and thats cool...

[MsSarai28]

even on full screen your video looks great! :D the plane was lower than usual, is it because its smaller or was it an error?

[tubilar111]

@MsSarai28 Yeah, definatly great in full screen (32"). the last shot is perfect... the sky, buildings, the beach, people, cars, roads and trees :D

[FaoodX]

at the begining ithought it was a flight simulator (fsx) lol btw nc video

[RealGunner4]

If nowitzki was standing there, he would be hit by this plane :D

[trayner]

imagine if a truck was driving past lol

[kasteman1]

Alright, listen up people. If you want a free haircut, you need to be on that beach at exactly 11:09:24

[gusteno8]

Its NOT normal for St maarten. Maybe if It was a 747 wich need all of the short runway. But not for this Cessna Caravn. It could have touched down in middle of the runway.

[Kacper2be]

Ha! That was just a Cessna 206! Wait till' you see a 747 land.

[Livvy1400]

Pilot: 10 bucks if i hit those guys on the beach in the face!

FO: DEAL!!

*Plane Misses*

[HayesBartlett]

that is a quite low final usually you'd have a higher angle of approach.

[DJPinoo]

0:09 familly falls down on sand.. :p

[Sourc1]

dyan, dont listen to them, they are just not fascinated of planes, and they don't know how dangerous it can be if the landingtrack is right to the see and he flies over all these people, thats why it is so special

[sniperkid389]

it IS a normal approach and landing Don't know wat SOOOOOO CRAZY about it

[pilotdynan]

@sniperkid389 watch this again and ask yourself if this could be normal

[sniperkid389]

@pilotdynan dude the first time i went on a plane was from this same airport.i live right next door and when i am leaving for vacation i always go to this airport. The pilot of the cessa\na went so low because he wanted to amaze the people on the beach.planes of that size dont be so low. TRUST ME!!!!

[airplanes66]

@pilotdynan its fairly normal for that airport

[mrhow22]

@pilotdynan well it is normal for that particular airport

[tradernorton05]

@pilotdynan

This is a normal approach for this particular airport.

[Denmarkpwns]

@pilotdynan it is normal height, its just not normal that there are people right infront of the runway.

[pilotdynan]

@Denmarkpwns you're actually supposed to have a height 50 feet over the threshold. I can assure you that this plane was lower than 50 feet.

but I'm surely not saying that the beach should be open for public. it's kind of insane actually ;)

[ZBaiocchi]

@sniperkid389 Everyone think to yourself, Is that a normal approach for a Cessna Grand Caravan (C208), going just about as low, or maybe even lower than a B744 landing here, even when a C208 only needs about 1/3 to 1/2 of the runway

[sniperkid389]

@ZBaiocchi look like u didn't understand my comment the last time.No the cessna don't need to be so low.it is just competition among the pilots to see how is the better pilot.

[ZBaiocchi]

@sniperkid389 Well like what the Pilot guy who posted this its not normal and i dont where u get pilots have a competition to see who is the better pilot. if u can plz provide me with some sort of Evidence, because when i was down there for atleast 2 weeks all of the pilots down there including myself were talking about it and i never hearde anyone bring up something about a competitio. But if what you are telling me is true then thoughs pilots are the biggest Jack A*@%$ in the world.

[sniperkid389]

@ZBaiocchi well i cant have any evidence for the competition but i do know that pilots sometimes like to fly extra low just for the people on the beach to have a nice time

[Hammarhajj3n]

@sniperkid389 seriously? you cant figure out whats crazy? the crazy thing about it is that it is very close to a beach and the plane is flying like 5 meters over the people that is standing there.....

Is that hard for you to understand? :S maan

[sniperkid389]

@Hammarhajj3n i been there for all of my life from the time is was born.I myself don't see any danger.That is why I am asking people from there opinion why it is so dangerous to them maaan

[Hammarhajj3n]

@sniperkid389 yes I understand that YOU are used to this but you should still understand why other people see this as dangerous..... I mean, its not hard at all to see what COULD be considered dangerous in this video........

[sniperkid389]

@Hammarhajj3n probably u are right i should see but i am just blind to it

[MidShipCivic]

@sniperkid389 What's so dangerous ? It's a plane moving over 100 miles an hour with wings full of fuel if the wheels touch the fence the plane could do a 90 degree turn into the ground blowing up and spreading fuel all over over one at the beach.

[sniperkid389]

@MidShipCivic ok things wrong in your comment

1-planes do not land with the wings full of fuel the is against FAA rules like b747,757,a321 320 etc but some of the small planes land here with wings full because the island hopping and charters

2-if a plane wheels were to hit the fence (depending on the size) the gear is most likely to shear off,pop tires,or drag part of the fence along with the plane

3-not all the planes that come here land over 100mph, the pilots just do it for so( like 4 fun)

[MidShipCivic]

@sniperkid389 Fact is they DO land with wing's full of fuel not all of them DUMP those air bus's will dump fuel mid air .

2.You're really just talking nonsense here not '' a plane '' IF THAT Cessna hit's the fence there is going to be a lot of carnage because I'll tell you right now it will shatter into a bunch of pieces.

3.That plane is going over 100mph you think it's not because it's in the air that could be 70kts minimum landing speed is 60kts (68mph) (stall).

[sniperkid389]

@MidShipCivic have u ever been to st.maarten/st martin before?it dont look so and it dont look like u have a sense of understanding 1. all the boeing and airbus that come here are not fully loaded for fuel.That is just plain stupidness.these planes come from Europe USA and sometimes Canada.so no way it can be full and these are one way flights direct.they are not designed for mid air refuelling.2- i said if plane wheels were to hit the fence (DEPENDING ON THE SIZE) doesn't always mean a cessna

[MidShipCivic]

@sniperkid389 You're just talking back for the sake of talking back.

Obviously, what he's doing is ''violation''.

Of course big jet's are not full of fuel coming down under the right circumstances they have weight standards to follow on take off and landing.

[sniperkid389]

@MidShipCivic so u understanded all this time?I try to answer all of my comments thank u very much.

[abrett23]

EVERYONE IT IS FAKE

THE AIRPLANE IS COMPUTERIZED

YOU CAN TELL IF YOU LOOK AT THE FRONT PROPELLER IN THE BEGINNING

[lardman2228]

Woah, that is pretty low, even for St Maarten :P

[Davem151]

Well that pilot lands there almost every day so yeah thats what i like to call skills
