Landing at Madeira Airport

[935514595]

music is not for flgth videos

[mirage5f]

@935514595

Woah! Where is this absolute law written? FAA, CAA ?

Or somewhere in the malfunctioning brain of a jerk who couldn't hit the "mute" switch to save his life ?

[935514595]

@mirage5f is not a law is a comun sense but you dont have that. that music sucks like you videos.

[chrisklein21]

nice video but cut the shit music and upload again.

[perryinjax]

What kind of plane are we landing in here?

[deloford]

were you a touch fast?

[Spanduer90]

how can anyone dislike this???

[rubyboy99]

i went to maderia when i came out of hospital from meninjitous and we tried 6 times to land and the pilot was freaking scared but i was to tired to care!

[Mazza4Azza]

@rubyboy99

The pilot was scared!!?? Damn.

[rubyboy99]

@Mazza4Azza i know but u can get cartons of wine in madeira for like 59p so i wanna go back there to get some wine

[musicshuttle]

I think this is the rare time that the choice of music actually enhanced the video - good job!

[djinstructor]

Nice landing, shit music!

[marja0204]

Niceee.. great for our presentation about Madeira :)

[AIRCRASHINVESTFSX97]

what aircraft is it a 737 or anithing

[dilanjai]

that was long felt like i was actually on a boring flight waiting 4 landing zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[nostradamus519]

nice music and great landing beautiful funchal

[Macsgrafs]

Smooth touchdown, great Island to visit. The arches at the end of the runway echpo the breaking waves, sounds wonderful.

[FioX094]

i can see my house and my school lolz

normaly the ladings are a little shacky only a little

nice landing :)

[jimgo5]

Great approach and landing!!

I wonder if you can fly the final circle with autopilot maintaining the altitude/speed, or is it totally manual? I am only flying this in FSX :-)

[FlyinTheNetherlands]

Mostly the autothrottle is maintaining the airspeed. The other things you do yourself on a visual. I don't fly this plane but a B737NG so I'm not sure if it's the same ;)

[11AJGMUSIC11]

i have to land there tomorrow im really freaked but im sure i will be fine

[jangotrooper]

Im from Madeira, it is quite a difficult runway to stop on, the pilots have to be on the brakes almost before they touch down. The runway used to be alot shorter.....many planes have fallen over....but air france was able to land one of their jumbo 747s there

[geminiathboy]

MD114EVER, why did you say do a circular approach without losing altitude? In the video I see that the aircraft is descending..

And something else..do they only approach to rwy 05? What about rwy 23?

Thanx

[mirage5f]

Well, of course it is not a "circular" but "circling" approach. That means a visual final approach and landing after the initial instruments approach.

Of course, we descend from around 1000 ft (downwind) to airport level at touchdown.

And we use either runway 23 or 05 depending on the wind direction (and THAT can be a problem to determine in Funchal), but the 23 approach is not as interesting to show on Youtube (mainly a sidestep in final to avoid the proximity of the cliffs).

[sunnsight]

MD11EVER...thanks for your reply on my question...now I know...

[djisadj1]

its on a special platform

[sunnsight]

what is so special on Madeira airport..just wondering..is it a short runway, can somebody tell me??

[MD114EVER]

sunnsight: the difficulty is the circling approach just before final.

you have to fly roundabout 170 degreed without loosing altitude.

and another problem are the heavy winds who are changing very fast

[intrepidZANY]

the runway is built on a bridge

[joaofmfe]

you're right, and if they can't stop in time they fall from the bridge

[dfm121]

I love this music woot woot!!!.By the way it is against the law now-adays because I know i am a commercial pilot I fly Airbus 330 and work for American airlines and Logan-air to fly the Dehavllind Dash 8 -100 just to let you know.

[ALLURSBMW]

Interesting you should mention you are a commercial A330 pilot with American Airlines. AA doesn't have any A330s in their fleet mate.

[Oyhus]

The music rocks, mirage! Nice vid!

[mrbrookz08]

i think the music fits^^

[gaguy1967]

the background music sucks

[sprked]

sounds like sumin they shud play in a posh restaurant not in a small plane landing in madeira funchal airport

[mirage5f]

You guys don't like the music, like I don't like your comments...

Who cares?

Just put the volume off...

The music is just here to cover the radio conversations, which are, by law, forbidden to broadcast.

And - by the way - I like this music. Like many others.

[sprked]

fair enough

[adjb04]

what the hell?!, it is not forbidden to broadcast, there are loads of youtube vids with clearly audible radio conversations

[longeneil]

I like the music - who is it??

[cardiffstabber1]

This is one of the most enjoyable videos I've watched in ages. Thanks

[Macsgrafs]

I love the way you calm the viewers with the soothing music..you want to sit in the back & feel the rotors off the mountains as you turn finals, bumpy or wat & at such low airspeed & altitude, well done to you guys, you fly well. Ross

[mirage5f]

Thanks for your comment, even if that day the wind was almost calm and it was really a pleasant walk in the park...

[xgunther]

At what DME of FUN VOR do they turn base for runway 05?

[mirage5f]

6 Nm FUN DME, Radial 212 if my memory serves me right

[jorgesampaio]

It's 213 radial. Not too far... lol

[mirage5f]

Well... In fact, it was 213° until june 2007, now it is radial 212...

Sorry

M5F

[jorgesampaio]

Hum, ure probably right. I am outdated... again...

[zakit]

This is the best approach video i've seen so far, good wide angle, luck on the clear sunny day. Very good.. I'd love to see a decent quality avi of this though.

Congrats

[Dragon22873]

O_o

[warminator]

this is the first time i enjoyed the music on a landing vid.:)

[SenninhaRubberburner]

it looks a bit like airport music, that's why I like it

[HFKHFK]

While this music is indeed funny, I still dislike music (whatever it is) in video's. I want to watch a video, not listen to music. Furthermore, what I like about approach video's is the ATC and pilot chatter, which was unable to hear now. So please, to my opinion, never put in music in video's.

Further, great video, and very nice and polite landing!!

[JMsoo]

yeah i agree even the music is pleasant, when i looking for aviations clips i prefer listen to the engine atc etc...

[SteveHoffman92]

I very much agree with you, I'd much rather hear the engines and the atc chatter than some music.

[mpwheatley]

I loved the music! In fact I just bought it on iTunes. Perhaps I'll play it when I fly into Funchal in January!

[londonboy25]

i also want to go on holiday to madeira island !!!

[fsplayer]

cool video, nice angle!
