Wow, they land really close to the highway. I would have panicked the first time I saw that if I was driving. I'm in Denver and there's nothing for miles around the runway.
ccp has more than 300000 internet propaganda dogs, its famous things (its call 五毛党 or 50cent army, etc), ccp`s more than 300000 guy is working everyday 24hours everywhere internet, they deceive their chinks and world people too, they are making fake comment everywhere internet, even youtube too, those ccp`s propaganda dog is try to operate pablic opinion, i can see so many those dogs in youtube, if you go any chinks video, most of chinks commentator is just one of 300000
Yep, the pilot was required to fly the ILS and when he had the marker board/target board sighted, he would commence a right hand turn following the guidance lights (I can't remember the exact term for them) to the runway.

Wow.. can't believe Hong Kong had their airport in Kai Tak for so long.. I have had the experience of flying into (MAS from the old Subang airport) and taking off (now defunct Canadian Airlines to Hong Kong) from there just 2 years before it closed for good.. wow

I did my first trip to HK and was the last year kai tak was gonna be used,a crazy experience u could see buildings out of the plane's window.Really crazy
@laserstun Amazing isn't it? And to think that the Wright brothers' first flight can be done in the economy section of the 747 is another proof of the incredible progress of aviation. Too bad nobody have yet to crack the elusive supersonic transport that's both economical and is harmless to the environment.
45 degree bank in a 747. That's cool. Look at the aileron response at that slow speed. My uncle used to tell me about the approach into Hong Kong. 747 captain for South African Airways in the 80's & 90's. The 747 is still and will be for a long time the queen of the skies. Have you seen the 747-800. Beautiful. Maybe I am just partial ;-)
@undertake782 Thing is, there is no IFR approach at Kai Tak. Landing at Kai Tak is strictly VFR, because there is no IFR frequency at Kai Tak Approach. They have (or had) landing lights curved in to guide you into the runway, and a red and white checkerboard pattern about a quarter kilometre to the left to indicate the point of turnaround. Kai Tak is now closed, but you can look up the approach lights and checkerboard up on Google Images to see how it was done.
I used to go to a preschool in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The planes always pass over this area, and you'd be amazed how people living there get so used to it. It's not every day you see planes sweeping so low above the apartments and streets in both broad daylight and the evenings.
It was much dangerous to land in, so they built a new and much more safe airport outside the city. And from personal experience, the new one is much better!
The only thing that i don't like is losing that aproach, seeing the buildings and the cars. made it exciting for every one on the plane (other than those who thought they would die) i guess im a bit nostalgic.
When she was Destinys Child with Beyonce Knowles,Beyonce's father managed the group.Her(LeToya) and another singer wondered why Beyonce's mother was driving a Jag while her mom was driving a Mazda.The two girls wanted a more fair management of them two and essentially were replaced by Beynoce father with two other singers,since Beynoce did most of the lead vocals it was ok.They sued him/band/sony and won.Letoya auditioned for a major label and they signed her immedietly.
Mountains on three sidesno escape landing area.buildings interfering wind patterns .steep approach angle.sharp right turn on landing increases stall speed.short runway..other than that its a normal airport!
Mountains on three sidesno escape landing area.buildings interfering wind patterns .steep approach angle.sharp right turn on landing increases stall speed.short runway..other than that its a normal airport!
this airport is next to a mountain and tall buildings they have to make a steep turn and take off u also have to make a steep turn to avoid the mountain
I heard that pilots around the world miss Kai Tak Airport because it was the only airport in which they had to land manually, rather than letting the autopilot do its job. True or not, I miss Kai Tak xD
Until the current airport was built on Lantau Island, Kai Tak was known for having one of the shortest runways of all the international airports in the world. With only 1 or 2 runways for take offs and landings, I would presume all take offs begin heading toward the bay, which was why the take offs were always at a steeper angle than flights from other airports; and landings come in from inland Kowloon.
My grandfather grew up in the neighbourhood around Kai Tak and he told me when he was a boy, the runway used to cut cross the avenue you saw on the clip. So every time when a plane needs to use the runway, the cops will come in, stop the traffic, let the plane take off/land, and open the road up again.
thanks for posting! this brings back fond memories of standing at the terminal end closest to the runway and enjoying the momentary scare of wondering whether the momentum of the plane not yet out of that turn was somehow going to result in the thing slamming down into the terminal rather than the runway. but then the illusion would pass and the plane would come down safely. nice.
They must have closed after I arrived there. I was there in 1998. It would seem that the airplane would fly close to the city since the country is so small. They don't have much room,
That is actually pretty routine to land there, and i've been doing it for years until they closed it, you turn at a hill that has what looks like a checkerboard on it and that angle wasn't more than 25 degrees or his bank angle indicator would sound
It's amazing to watch a plane that huge line up with a runway off such a steep banking turn. But it's also outrageous that a plane of any size would have to nearly fly into a mountain on a descent & then make a sharp turn immediately before landing (which is the most dangerous part of a flight - even with a straight approach.) And with crosswinds from the mountainside right next to it? Fascinating & entertaining but also very upsetting. 'Negligence' & 'disregard' are words that come to mind.
oh, I didn't know the airport was removed, I made my comment thinking people still lived there having the airport in their backyard. Pardon my ignorance.
this is cool i like cathay pacific. i've flown many times to the philippines and we stop in hong kong. the hong kong flight is flippin 13 hours from LA to Hong Kong..and cathay pacific made it really comfy, unlike philippine airlines :] very safe
Chibiryuhe you are right and yep there's a lot of hopeless people like 'CathayPacificPilot' who have nothing better to do with their lives than mislead people. You are entirely correct about the aircraft as well.
there is no such thing as a 744-400. 744 is the shortened code for 747-400, just like a 737-800 is 738. and taking a look back on the video i realised my ignorance before and have got to say this looks to me like a 743. yes CX only operate 744s in this current day but did operate 742s and 3s prior to their 744s. second floor is way too long for a 744.
did i say it was? no. learn to read the comment before you refer to my comment.
can i just ask though. why does a 14 year old french child have his username as "CathayPacificPilot"? if you are trying to mislead people into thinking your something that your not then u have just failed miserably. you are not a pilot, dont pretend to be one.
to add to that, on your profile your shortened username reads "cpapilot". i wonder where you got cpa from? anyone with half a commercial aviation brain would know that the abbreviation for cathay pacific is CX and not cpa.
saying that a aircraft manufacturer as a whole are rubbish is just childish. all manufacturers make good and bad... some work for some others dont. it is just narrow minded to think that every single airbus a/c is bad. look at the A380 for instance. new innovation for the industry as a whole? considering i have 3 degrees in aviation related subjects, one of them being a BA Hons, i really dont think its worth argueing.
Very nice comment, you are right about the different companys having good and bad. Take a look at DC for example, they have some good aircraft yet have a bad rep in some cases. Also nice comment about the 380 and its new inovation for the industry. Boeing has also done something new with the787. I do want to point out tho, that i may not know a whole lot about Cathay Pacific, but i am also educated in civil aviation, and i fly the CRJ-900.
thanks for the reply. the CRJ is a lovely a/c :) your reply was spot on about DC models. take the DC-10 for instance, the track record for catastrophic faults in the design and egineering were huge but then the DC-9 has always been a great a/c.
im applying to NATS soon to go off for ATCO training although im also looking at the military way through now as it seems much easier for junior ATCOs to break through that way these days.
I work for NATS, good luck applying, it's a tough assessment to get in to the college, but it's very achievable and worth it. A military base can be beneficial although no-one on my course had any. I was interested by your comment about IATA codes being used primarily in the "industry", at NATS, and in ATC generally, ICAO codes are used for all aircraft, airfield designators etc.
Wow, they land really close to the highway. I would have panicked the first time I saw that if I was driving. I'm in Denver and there's nothing for miles around the runway.

I would love to live in one of the apartments across from the airport/across the water, as you could watch airplanes everyday!

Why not? With the airport gone now, real-estate prices are through the roof. It's a nice part of town now I hear

oh, I didn't know the airport was removed, I made my comment thinking people still lived there having the airport in their backyard. Pardon my ignorance.

Chibiryuhe you are right and yep there's a lot of hopeless people like 'CathayPacificPilot' who have nothing better to do with their lives than mislead people. You are entirely correct about the aircraft as well.

Cathay Pacific have only 747-400 and they called 744-400, if you dont know anything please dont make such comments.
mightykebab012 3 years ago
there is no such thing as a 744-400. 744 is the shortened code for 747-400, just like a 737-800 is 738. and taking a look back on the video i realised my ignorance before and have got to say this looks to me like a 743. yes CX only operate 744s in this current day but did operate 742s and 3s prior to their 744s. second floor is way too long for a 744.

This is not a B744, notice it has no winglets?

did i say it was? no. learn to read the comment before you refer to my comment.
can i just ask though. why does a 14 year old french child have his username as "CathayPacificPilot"? if you are trying to mislead people into thinking your something that your not then u have just failed miserably. you are not a pilot, dont pretend to be one.
chibiryuhe 3 years ago
to add to that, on your profile your shortened username reads "cpapilot". i wonder where you got cpa from? anyone with half a commercial aviation brain would know that the abbreviation for cathay pacific is CX and not cpa.

Search up Cathay on wikipedia. CPA is for ICAO, CX is IATA

Do you think Im stupid enough to put that. Did I say I was a Cathay Pacific Pilot? Im I really 14 am I even french? human? Who knows...

IATA codes are primary dumb shit. ICAO codes are never used in industry.
and to think the basis of your agruements would even come from wikipedia makes you sound even more infantile.
as for the pilot part:

saying that a aircraft manufacturer as a whole are rubbish is just childish. all manufacturers make good and bad... some work for some others dont. it is just narrow minded to think that every single airbus a/c is bad. look at the A380 for instance. new innovation for the industry as a whole? considering i have 3 degrees in aviation related subjects, one of them being a BA Hons, i really dont think its worth argueing.
chibiryuhe 3 years ago
Very nice comment, you are right about the different companys having good and bad. Take a look at DC for example, they have some good aircraft yet have a bad rep in some cases. Also nice comment about the 380 and its new inovation for the industry. Boeing has also done something new with the787. I do want to point out tho, that i may not know a whole lot about Cathay Pacific, but i am also educated in civil aviation, and i fly the CRJ-900.
theduder12 3 years ago
thanks for the reply. the CRJ is a lovely a/c :) your reply was spot on about DC models. take the DC-10 for instance, the track record for catastrophic faults in the design and egineering were huge but then the DC-9 has always been a great a/c.
im applying to NATS soon to go off for ATCO training although im also looking at the military way through now as it seems much easier for junior ATCOs to break through that way these days.
chibiryuhe 3 years ago
I work for NATS, good luck applying, it's a tough assessment to get in to the college, but it's very achievable and worth it. A military base can be beneficial although no-one on my course had any. I was interested by your comment about IATA codes being used primarily in the "industry", at NATS, and in ATC generally, ICAO codes are used for all aircraft, airfield designators etc.
