Perfect landing in St. Barths

[TheManWithTheVideo]

Bet your arm get tired after holding the throttle with is on the roof?

[teddy3412]

i mean when you have reverse thrust....

[helobelow]

WOW!

[emp29]

You know it's a good St. Barths landing when you hear a/your passengers scream when you nose it down after the hill. @0:32

[evillbunny2]

@emp29 I thought it was a scream at first too but it's something mechanical on the plane. Listen and you can hear it repeated 3 or 4 times throughout the landing.

[pelon95]

Nice landing!

[BadNiedernauer]

Did anyone else hear the stall alarm?

[BadNiedernauer]

holy damn, that's the best line up i have ever seen! (Eventhough he could have killed everyone)

[aobt1407]

that was an incredibly short landin....nicely done

[adkldk]

Logging 9.800 hours (12hundred on a Dash-7) I should state that this is an example of a ... perfect approach and landing.

[1919amunt]

wow you are mi idol

[pianomansas]

@jb42682 Its actually called Winair!

[Flight322]

That is quite possibly, the best landing ever.

[enginotrom]

without jamming brakes?

i could hear the reverse thrusters

[enginotrom]

man some crazy rudder skills



[badaboehm]

That is impressive flying!! He made that look easy :-)

[didiogoify]

do they use parking brake?

[TheAkmurda]

You don't hear a woman scream in Flight SIm do ya!

[rsmithdrift]

That was an awesome landing. That dude is pro. WTF. Most ppl havent even touched down by the time he stopped lol

[sjtom57]

Sounded like a passenger screamed just as they cleared the hill at the end of the runway. Nice vid.

[midlifeflyer]

I might have landed with this guy on our first trip to St Barths! Not really, mine was more than 20 years ago (before I started flying myself) and the pilot we had has probably moved on. But that same clean approach and the mid-field turn-off.

[jmcgre1]

Amazing! Thanks for the video.

[fadmanzano]

Unbelievable.

[stenhammarledsbo]

Damn that's a soft landing!!! Skilled pilot! :)

[Conze22]

fuck me

[neillypilot]

that was seriously great :P It wasn't good enough just to land so smoothly, but the pilot also had to swing it in nicely to the first exit :D I want to sit in the seat next to him/her for a job.

[ziegle9876]

You want to see what a Twin Otter can do? Search "Fane Approach" on youtube....

[mrpilot102]

@ziegle9876 Or youtube Kenn Borek air.

[RSU1018]

GPWS!!!!!!????

[sbentjies]

Insane-they made the first turn off. Incredible

[hickspixx]

WOW! That was a fantasticly short landing!!!

[cribble2k]

Nice landing, Ace!

[Beech165]

did they floating on the runway.? Could not hear any touchdown or see the camera shaking. =)

Great!

[TheOneRaf]

wwwoowoooooo watthafack!

[mrpilot102]

@FFCZigzag Actually there are lots of runways shorter than this place. Secondly I wasn't talking about a runway. We routinely land off-strip with the Twin Otters on Tundra tires, Intermediates, Skis and floats...Landing the otter with Tundra tires on a 700' esker, sandbar, tundra, etc is not difficult. It is possible to land them on a 500' strip but you better bring your A game that day.

[JoblessDerrick]

that was a mothafucka

[TheAirPlanePilot11]

dammm those plane can stop fast

[pixabrava89]

Incredible landing. They only need half runway to land the aircraft. Great sharing.

[jesseman0612]

WEEEEEOOOOOWWW well best of all time i think... man that was epic, nice steep approach, perfect stall, very smooth touchdown, and took the first runway turnoff before i could say WOW.

[poluv]

Kids! Don't try that! These guys are Pros!

[ProProgrammer150]

wow, did they land on and stop on the bit of runway that is not normally accessible?

[consueagra]

OMG!!



[SoCalyankeefan]

@jb42682 wouldnt be too crazy...win air isnt a large airline

[DJMartijn007]

what a bad landing!

[Madathemad612]

@DJMartijn007 id like to see u try and land a plane at st barts . U have to have Special Training To land there .

[DJMartijn007]

@Madathemad612 shut up men you can do dis olso whif the auto pilot!

[mrpilot102]

@Madathemad612 what special training do they receive? Pretty easy approach onto a long paved runway.

[flyhighkev]

holy shit! his landing roll was short like a 172

[imbarisaxy]

damn! what a pro

[marcohsg]

WTF!!!!

it scares me!!!

[mantarayasurf]

Whata a Pilot! this guy kicks ass! perfect landing!

[st54192003]

nice and accurate descent profile

marvelous~

[champagneandoyster]

This looks like the same guy who made the shortest landing in Saba!

It's the same make of plane for sure.

He's good!

[mboy3515]

i land here and lukla all the time in fsx. Its fun to try to land with strong crosswinds. But when i get older i am going into the airforce and make my dream come true to fly a f/a-18 : )

[Deltapilot96]

Love the engine sounds at 0:04 - 0:07 and after touchdown :D nice vid!

[DeltaAirtran]

I didn't know if he touched down or not. This guy is a pro!

[mistaphill]

this guy clearly has mastered that airport

[hellcat29er]

Damn, nice landing.  I'd have shit myself.

[murilogazoli]

is this a twin otter???

[planes142]

stall warning :P

[DukeVonKtm]

Sceams at 0:30 :D

[jackdamak]

that was amazing!

[youronlysolution]

this is beautiful

[pltmihael]

woow, great pilot

[DaniCabreraPilot]

Amazing!!!!

[fsxlucas1]

show off

[SenorSpode]

@fsxlucas1 Not showing off...just impeccable skill. This airport is listed as the 3rd most dangerous airport in the world, behind Tegucigalpa and Lukla. It's hard enough managing this landing in Flight Simulator with FlyTampa scenery.

[fsxlucas1]

@SenorSpode ok then very goood landing by some very expirienced pilots

[mrpilot102]

@SenorSpode "This airport is listed as the 3rd most dangerous airport in the world" lol this airport is a joke..long and paved...oooo awwww so hard to do in a twin otter..Try landing off strip then get back to me.

[SenorSpode]

@mrpilot102 Try pulling your head outta your ass and then get back to the rest of us. Have A Nice Day.

[mrpilot102]

@SenorSpode My head out of my ass? I am not the one making ludicrous statements claiming this is a difficult place to land a Twin Otter. This runway is laughable compared to where Twin Otters often land...Chop 1500' of this runway and get back to me.

[ruudzwart]

@mrpilot102 Yeah, this runway is a laugh compared to lets say Lukla or Jomsom.

[SenorSpode]

@mrpilot102 I am well aware of where Twin Otters often land, including spot-landings in the Arctic regions. That's right...no runways, no roll-outs. What makes this a challenge is the hill smack in front of RWY 10. I take it you are a bold pilot? That's good, there's no old, bold pilots. Hope your insurance is paid up. Have A Nice Day.

[mrpilot102]

@SenorSpode there is ABSOLUTELY nothing difficult about this approach, therefore NO reason to be bold. You would know this if you had time in the twin-otter. No more difficult than landing a jet on a 6000' runway.

[luftpilot1]

@mrpilot102 lets be reasonable ppl and give the credit to the landing done at that airport cuz... no matter what anyone says... its a little harder than landing on 12,000' of runway at CYYC.

[mrpilot102]

@luftpilot1 I will say it is more difficult to land a twin otter here than Calgary. But this by NO means is a difficult place to land a Twin Otter.

[luftpilot1]

@mrpilot102 well... it is an OTTER spinning two fat PT6's.... so ya probs not a hard place to land a bird like that. Defs not a place to try and half ass a poor approach tho.

[bajesus666]

you can hear people silently screaming when they pitch down the hill xD

[dacksoldier]

@bajesus666 that would be the hydraulics moving the flaps to slow down the plane to drop down

[bajesus666]

@dacksoldier thats what i thought too xD

[plllot]

WOW, simply amazing...look at those control inputs. great video.

[bobisawesome007]

do u need a special endorsment to land there?

[bajesus666]

@bobisawesome007 yes

[MrGranousty]

I land a few times on this runway, in the real life, its very impressive ! An other pro pilot !

[captOrange1]

BTW I´m a general aviation pilot....

[captOrange1]

In my opinion I think there is no need for a landing like this, this is not a 12000 ft runway but the pilot´s had a twin otter and passengers not soldiers or making a war mission, A Super pilot always avoids the use of his super skills unless...

[pilotwave]

Damn, this guys could have landed this thing on a carrier without the arresting cables. Amazing!!!

[drollio]

17 people shit down theire paens

[DKF22]

fukin pro!!!

[vinnieg100]

sweet

[TheFlyingpigy]

did i hear someone scream at 0:30?

[ararapoly]

wow this was basicly turning to the right with the tail and he got some skills using reverse thrust so fast.. as soon as he landed he was using it lol

[tatercito]

piloting skillS + good wind = THIS BEAUTIFUL LANDING !

[DKF22]

@tatercito Pilot skill + bad winds = Pilot's skill put to the test

[tatercito]

@DKF22 Yep too.. look how agresive the first officer moves the column ! its awesome !

[lemhed22]

wow

[Canimakeit]

I would say he was dagon close to stalling, that would be the reason for being able to stop that fast. He got the thing to basically stall right at touchdown.

Like binding it up, heck of a pilot.

[zsifk]

His done this before, hasn't he?

[softbullet]

Great pilot........huuu best landing I ever see in short space.

[GingBread]

Wow, great flying and a great plane. What an approach! Hope I get the chance to land there someday.

[boeing737flya]

i LOVE how fast this type of aircraft can stop! Great Vid!

[awesomemax100]

that was really perfect

[grooveridersla]

best landing ive ever seen......clean and pro!!!

[Lvieru96]

Showoffs xD

[BasicAviation]

uhh wtf... i think the passenger's asshole came out 6 inches in that landing LOL!

[denunkind]

sick

[sendmorebrains]

I bow to awesomeness sir !

[appleglory]

christ the flare was just right so there was not even a shudder of the wheels touching

[ksandom40]

That's an amazing landing! I've been playing with this airport in the sim and it's much harder than it looks.

[otosflashymoon]

That was really good flying.

[calvin22082200]

a stall sound is heard when doing flare for relatively small planes are meant to be a perfect landing=]

[dewboy13]

Completely Fantastic! Talk about an extension of your body.

[Weltbevoelkerung]

LOL

crazy man!

[boksteen]

Gisteren gevlogen in een A320 simulator, maar dit is pas echt vliegen!

[DITMN]

jeez, that certainly was perfection

[pulflex]

WTF? full stop tooo fast.... amazing.....

[Arthur59280]

2 hundred! Stall warning isn't it after? 

[fgiorgio]

fantastic job !

[Stranger3333]

Wow! Amazing landing!

[Flight8695]

these are some damn good pilots

[DITMN]

are you kidding, that is one hell of a shortfield landing.

[deedx]

brave pilots (and passengers) :)

[Luis7771000]

yeah that was perfect

[Quicky1921]

jaaa lot of shit

[jarod1672]

Those WinAir guys are just fuckin showoffs! They make the first turnoff with room to spare!

[slicknick023]

Fantastic landing....master class. But it was a but risky taking that right had turn off the runway so suddenly ... a strong gust of wind could have turned a master class landing to master class flip over. But never the less that was really good.

[gemini4life777]

90's?????????????? 1990???????????

[vroomba03]

twin otters can almost stop on a dime

[sj0903]

that was a quick stop

[Snowbirds123]

normal you can land this airplane in a baseball field

[DITMN]

showoffs

[jonathasluciano]

Fantastic!!!

[bryanadams0810]

yeh yeh men this is a twin otter, it si can stops in few mwters...

[SenorSpode]

The best St. Barth's landing to date. Flawless! Definitely a 5-star.

[09GregRoy]

Wow.....what more can be said :)

[edbern007]

wow is right...one of the most difficult runway approaches in the world. even in my flight simulator its a challenge

[pilotjanmanpeterpan]

WHAT A PILOT!!

he didn't even go to the end of the runway!

[MrJoggl]

stall warning!!!!

[MrJoggl]

wow

[womb0womb0]

Um, captain, we need to restock the barf bags.

[CuElLaR1501]

stol aircrafts are the best, congratulations is a good landing!!!

[CuElLaR1501]

congratulations capt. is a good landing. . . . . stol aircrafts is the best

[GiovanieItalo]

This Aircraft is a TwinOtter ?

[MrFlightSimVidz]

yes

[edbern007]

yes it is

[micropope]

Give the pilots a raise for that one.

[DayJetFan]

@nickfrey94 - I meant to reply to your comment but I accidently spammed it! Sorry! I gave you a thumbs up anyways. But, my reply is;

Yeah, why can't the Caravans stop that fast! Even though it's not an STOL.

[culpritto]

amazing how little runway a plane needs

[nickfrey94]

nice. hard to believe that the plane stopped that fast.

[nss105]

@nickfrey94 It stopped that fast because he used reverse thrust. You can hear the engine speeding up just seconds after he lands, and then slowing down again right before he turns into the taxiway.

[davidskrist]

@nickfrey94 dude it's a twin otter !

[swtrooper11]

@nickfrey94 hell yeah 

[duragg]

Que Cojones!

[deadcar]

Anyone else heard the women scream in the back at 0:30 ??

[biggestMetallicAfan]

What a perfected professional landing.

[ritualghost]

that was awesome, great landing

[OktoberStorm]

whoa, I don't dare do maneuvers like that even in fsx

[danetrain0101]

Like what? Land a plane? You don't dare to land planes, even in a simulator?

[defaultytuser]

Hey i have a question for those familiar with the airport. Why don't pilots use the other runway for landings (RWY28)? The one that doesn't have a giant cliff right before the threshold!

I mean, even with a light tailwind is still safer to land from the other runway.

Thanks in advance

[danetrain0101]

You can land on rwy28 but it is preferable to land on 10.

The main reasons are:

You can't perform a go around

You can't takeoff from rwy28

The pattern is always for 10

Wind is usually favoring 10

[kellyhulme]

he got off at the taxiway FFS. what a champ

[fassstEddie]

Not a big deal for an Otter. I flew as flight attendant with JetAir Hawaii back in the early 70's and many times we flew with no passengers. That's when the pilot would do STOLs. He never did it with passengers on board but when we had no one he could do it in a much shorter distance than this pilot. I think he could land in 50 feet with good head wind. Otters are designated STOL airplane.

[fassstEddie]

sorry should have mentioned that JetAir flew Otters too. And with full flaps and a good head wind you can land them in 50 feet.

[spenckey]

MOST Impressive! He could have landed that on the roof of my house!

[aaron794]

That was fuckin unbelievably impressive

[wlfpckrs]

Landings don't get any better than that.

[DVA7498]

wow stall warning went off but that is a pretty hard approach

[olmakey]

Who the fuck noticed when he touched the ground ?!!

Very good pilot... 5*

[tassoss1]

Who put this Airport there?...you beter fire him

[mercury46]

holy shiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!!!!

[gmgboy12]

w0w!!!i thought it was still flying!!!!i wish i was taht good!!!
