Nice work. Love the Shetland Isles

[kvkTR]

fucking gorgeous scenery and a beautiful landing to boot. cheers for the upload.

Great reminder of my time up there. Spent 4 years on the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal and landed on this runway once every six weeks for nearly 4 years in a Piper Aztec coming from Belfast. Some harrowing landings and takeoffs in all sorts of weather.

Loved this put it on the new network site for Shetland called Shetlandlive - free to join

Fantastic video, enjoyed it very much. Thank you for talking it and posting it. I love Shetland but have only been there by sea.

nice approah...and touch down,,

[Whizjet]

Hmm - not being smart, being safe. If it was fixed to the windscreen, then presumably there was an STC in force, complete with the Tech Approval?

[ee000011]

@Whizjet None nescessary. camera is like a gecko, it just sucks on the windshield.

[Whizjet]

@ee000011 So it would still need both an STC and a Notice to Crew to approve the practice.

Standards at LC have clearly declined.....

[Bwaname]

@Whizjet Whizjet, not that I really give a shit what you think, but just 'cause I'm bored I'll reply to you. Tell me whats dangerous about having a little digital camera attached to the top of the intstrument panel? Exactly, nothing. I'm surprised you have time to fly, since you seem to have your head buried in an ops manual. Perhaps explains why you aren't confident to take anything bigger than a twotter onto 33. It also explains why you hide behind a nickname and criticize other people.

[Whizjet]

@Bwaname Check your PMs, feel free to call my office. My day job is with the CAA.

[ee000011]

@Whizjet Callsign Whizjet?

[scotplane]

@Bwaname Whoop Whoop! Scottish pilots FTW!

[Whizjet]

Interesting that the PM (Pilot Monitoring) managed to film all that approach as well as doing his primary task. Does the Ops Manual Part A - (Gen/Basic) - say anything about movie making?

[ee000011]

@Whizjet Don't try to be smart now. Camera was prob fixed to the windshield. Bwaname knows what he's doing.

[FLYZero1]

Nice approach!! :-)

[ee000011]

@FLYZero1 We did so much better when we flew our Falcon 20 in to Sumburgh.

[RichT08]

was it flying from aberdeen?

[sross85]

Beautiful video! Would love to learn how to fly a Saab 340!

[dragonugt]

Amazing

[Nastyswimmer]

What's the fuss. The instruction manual says "Head for the lighthouse, then follow the road until you reach the farm. turn left and put her down." Nae bother!

[scotplane]

@Nastyswimmer Scotland's answer to Kai Tak.

[Logiebare]

Was this a 'boabies-oot' approach? BTW,

GWILK123 - it's 'knob' not 'nob', you knob. 'Mon the hoops!!

[badzwa1]

that was as awesome approach

[Bwaname]

Whizjet, kiss my nuts;-)

[ScottsOne]

LOL!

[Whizjet]

@Bwaname - I suspect I was landing at Sumburgh when you were in your cradle. That approach was kosher in an Otter or Islander; wouldn't care to try it in much else.

(Unless a helo of course, and I've done that too!)

[Whizjet]

Was it possible to use the aircraft again? Missed the number three wire as well as the C/L I think - Tingwall was much more interesting anyway!

[ee000011]

@Whizjet Right on, if we made that approach with our Falcon 20 it would have been a write off.

[Areweoffthegroundyet]

You naughty boys!! Awesome approach and what a pair of bananas

[james5353]

Wow exciting approach!

[Gerevga]

Amazing Approach

[soniks59]

can you add approach to runway 18 at Stornoway as/when?
