High & Fast Approach Into BUR

[RCKTBOY7]

Ow...that looked painful

[blakepilot]

why no missed approach? because it's southwest. high and fast is the only way they (used to) fly.

Hello Ryan

I enjoy your video it was a fast approach, was that pilot in hurry to get his coffee or what!

I am a member of Boston airliner Spotters group check us out at

meetup.com/BostonAirlinerSpott­ers/

On occasion we get together and make a trip out to LAX as well as other places to do some sporting

Are you a member of a group out there? Would like to know if there are others spotters in Ca area.

@tee987 He was doing what ATC ordered, and besides pilot can have all the coffee they want on board the aircraft. I have a friend who is a Southwest captain, and they are the most well trained pilots in the world.

What year was this???

[Boeing757200A]

It's noise abatement!!!

[wintersmom60]

I love airplanes and southwest is my favorite airline

[DeltaAirtran]

The pilots could've just done a circle to get at the right altitude for landing instead of steeping the airplane down until its passengers threw up!

@RyanBomar - sry forgot 2 read description

@RyanBomar - When was this filmed?

[KuostA]

very skilled and nice landing though, i must say.

I see these guys do crap like this at least once a month. They ask for rwy15 and drop in over the mountains when every other transport aircraft is landing rwy 8.Which is a nice flat approach with an ILS.

SWA now has VERY strict rules for approaches. Under today's SWA company policies, that would never happen.... its stated that on final your descent must not be over -1000fpm as well as if you cannot establish a stable approach you MUST go around.

[ERAUPRCWA]

Every airline has it's issues, But this is why many in the airline industry dislike Southwest Airlines, because they do stuff like this all the time, trying to be on-time disregarding safety. They taxi very fast, cut people off on approaches, and revamped the classy airline industry into people complaining about not getting a meal... you can thank Southwest for that one.

[Boeing757200A]

@ERAUPRCWA They taxi fast because they want to be on time. Yeah, because nobody wants to be late. Cut off people on approaches? If you have proof maybe some of us would believe you.

[ERAUPRCWA]

@Boeing757200A I made this comment over a year ago, after my two buddies who work for different airlines have complained to me of things that SWA does, one of which was cut people off on approaches to which both my friends told me around that time. I frankly don't care if anyone believes me, this is youtube, won't hurt my feelings if you do or don't :-/

[Boeing757200A]

@ERAUPRCWA True, true, but maybe they were cleared for landing before the aircraft due to wake turbulence?(If aircraft was a heavy)

[Chappygolucky6]

ATC kind of decides who they want where when it comes to sequencing traffic in a TRACON area... if that 737 is going to beat you to the punch because its doing 135ish indicated and this Cessnas doing 110 level, when that jet can land and the wake turbulence will spread before you even get to the final approach, they're not going to vector a higher paying customer around or send him missed and dump another several thousand dollars of fuel, and have pissed off customers.

[Chappygolucky6]

BTW, I'm pretty sure they teach these concepts at Riddle, I have the Airline Transport Professional Multi Track program under my belt from the same campus.

[ERAUPRCWA]

@Chappygolucky6 it was between a 737 (southwest) and a 757 (American).

[Eric2221]

good find! its an old AirCal/AA bird too!

[zildjiandrummr12]

Holy cow, that is indeed a very fast approach!
