Landings at St. Barthelemy (SBH/TFFJ) Part 1

[mpzflightvideo]

Really crazy...

[MrDanielMUC]

What I don't get: If you have to do such a steep approach, why don't they just slip during final? Rather than just touching down behind the center line.

[sooneraviator]

@MrDanielMUC I concur!!



[ellzeez]

what a stupid place to put a runway

[Pagweb]

Why don't they land on runway 19?

[ellzeez]

@Pagweb coz theres no such thing.. you got runway 10 on one end and obviously 28 on the other..

[pikapoketpu]

@Pagweb They don't land on 28 because the tailwinds off the sea would be too strong.

[purpleravenstar]

Bother installing arresting wires carrier style?

[msalak87]

c'mon can't we lower that hill a bit?

[seamaster27]

These skilled pilots fly their planes like they're on rails when landing at this place. But why hasn't anyone thought of stationing a few lifebouys in the sea at the end of the runway, just in case?

[Gyroglle]

That is f*ing rediculous how close those aircraft get to the road before making the dive towards to runway.

[operation477]

very good video and very goo landings

[airman193]

Just like a spot landing competition. Who can hit the aiming point bars?

[Peppinen]

nice compilation!

[tardifnk]

The one @1:04 ran a stop sign.

[scorpian865]

this explains why the radio aerial on my car got ripped off.

[yisasakopaka]

thumbs up for the third pilot

[RainbowManification]

Lol, the cars have to yield for aircraft.

[B797846ERF]

Is it safer tailwind landing than this steep one??

[Baalika]

Can they do go arounds when landing from the water side of the runway? How steep is the hill? The sim experience doesnt mean much, I can land the simlabs concorde on this airport :D And isnt the road closed during landing? Why does a red truck pass before the islander?

[hyperthreaded]

Quite long landings on such a short runway :-P

[michaeljess99]

NiCe!!!

[trepo757]

i don't think I'd want to get any closer to that DO-228...

[denziiey]

this is madness, one little screw up and you're bathing with the fishes

[DKF22]

omg crazyyyyyy vieww

[DANILOPALIM]

damn!! what a fucking short runway.

[EtniesCope]

Not bad!

[FoulOwl]

Damn,I wonder if there is a height restriction on vehicles on that road.Looks like a plane would almost snag a tall truck.

[FlightSimulatorXATC]

@FoulOwl it wouldn't snag it, it would take the truck with it on it's adventures! :D

[SenorSpode]

Loved seeing a DO-228 land there, just as good a plane as the Twotter. Thanks!

[BrianBaldino1]

0:46 seconds; And That's How It's Done !!!

[mourastm]

No kidding, that was the sickest of all the landings, really low, diving down the road, but he touched down before the TDZ markers, amazing!

[stealhty1]

for thoses who didn"t find the PPL in a cereal box,please dare to land here

[juankmpzsk8]

how long is the runway???

[saPPtheRapTeeR]

Got that strip for FSX, it´s fun flying there!

[BrianBaldino1]

This is landing with style.

[umahuma4]

Orvil and Wilber Wright would jizz themselves if they ever saw this.

[jacobflaschen]

@umahuma4 lol

[LOLODECEUTA]

!pero donde esta ese aeropuerto con tanto peligro ¡¡

[fanoffury]

reverse thrust is a nice feature on a runway like that :)

[rcplaneguy1]

why would you put a runway THERE?

[arias1772]

i wanna see someone get off on the first taxiway

[faosfx]

I can do it.....in flight simulator.....I wouldn't be stupid enough to risk my life in a real plane attempting that stunt, lol.

[Alejandro9394]

so tffj is st.barth

[devine666darkness]

WHO THE FUCK BUILT THAT.. IDIOTS

[IBit3Hard14]

this is one of my favorite airports

[Struckgold]

those magnificent men in thier flying machines

[JMIZZLE22]

it look like once you touch down u have just about 500ft to play with..thats some scary shit!

[risewiththelive]

How did you fly there? Did you use a commercial airliner? If so, which one? If not, private owned jet? chartered flight? Pls tell me as I might choose to go there one day!

[torstenmeller]

As you can see in my other videos, I went to SXM with KLM. From SXM to SBH I took a flight with a Cessna Caravan of Air Caraibes.

[cvogel4]

anybody can fly there if the have a plane there

[deltafan909]

oh yeah, a 737 can land there. lol(sarcastic)

[misterrandompancake]

@risewiththelive the airstrip is extremely short, so I can imagine that he had to either drive or take a charter/light aircraft

[100mdb]

@risewiththelive you can go there by Winair, or St. Barths Commuter.

[jdrepiv]

The Do228's STOL Capabilits Are Increadable.. And the islander is noisier Than i thought

[JBattaile]

how short is the runway?

[dodogolf1993]

it is about 610 meters long

[robertocr7]

wow, that so dangerous airport, while it observed the video, happens in tension, seeing as the pilots landed in that airport, seemed to me to see that the track is very small. Incredible when the car had to back down so that the Cessna Caravan, did not take it, I hope that the aerodrome that is going to construct this way close, in Tablón, Costa Rica, does not pass this to him, because it goes to be in the middle of mountains, although is even a project. INCREDIBLE. :O Good Video, and Pura Vida!

[objordal]

wow - that Caravan and the pickup was just crazy, yes. And also the Air Crabies (?) Doriner! That was SO close to the ground, I felt..

[SevenFiveSevenCrazy]

The Caravan with the truck was just crazy!!

[RubenTeBiesebeek]

The shot one with the Twin Otter is very nice...i've been practising this approach in flightsim quite often...

[Falkirion]

Jesus christ monkey balls, ive seen dangerous approaches before but St barths takes the cake. Awesome awesome flying skills by the pilots to get their aircraft safely onto the runway. The 3rd last aircraft (It was a twin) looked like it was going to hit the road it came in so low

[jsyoo]

Love the Cessna Grand Caravan

[cardinaldriver]

Amazing location...Truly amazing pilotage...

Incredible airplane.God bless the Caravan.And

The Islander wasn't that shabby either.

[repsollenny]

i think there are no trucks allowed at that road
