When dose the white STEEP light come on? I'm going to guess when the approch is loaded in the FMS, and the flaps make it to 45, therefor the FMS knows this is a steep appr and then the pilot pushes the steep button to get the green square, so you may continue the appr. If anyone knows ------ please help FSI in the USA, was no help
See the two lights on the runway right after the PAPI? At this airport it's mandatory go-around if you haven't touched down before those. That's the reason the pilot here didn't grease it in, or waist time holding the nose gear off. When a plane is traveling 140 knots and the runway is as short as this one, it's better to just get the plane on the ground than kiss the runway and run off the end...
I just noticed that the landing flare in this video was quite brief, with the nose wheel touching down just a second or two after the mains- i experience this in my simulator but it usually results in a rather hard landing. Is this normal?
Thank you for posting this, it should help a bit with the new ERJ I got for my simulator. I enjoyed the city lights and the commentary on approach :) Also, what exactly does steep mode do?
The instrument landing approach procedure is deemed steep when the glide slope is greater than or equals 4.5 degrees in relation to horizon. While the standard instrument landing glide slope angle is 3.0 degrees, at LCY the glide angle can be as great as 5.5 degrees. Normally a steep-approach instrument landing procedure is used over large urban centers such as London to reduce noise, or in areas surrounded by mountains, such as in Lugano, Switzerland.
On Wednesday 28th January 2004, Cork based regional airline, Jetmagic, announced the suspension of its operations with immediate effect, leaving 100 staff out of work and 400 passengers stranded in Cork, Britain, France, Italy and Spain. Losses at the company are reported to be around 11 million euros.
Holy crap! Talk about a slam dunk approach. Was the approach designed that way as part of noise abatment?

How does steep approach mode help the pilots??

So, how does the steep approach mode help the pilots? Obviously it's not part of the auto-pilot, since that was turned off.

Fantastic video, thanks! Nice spot landing too!

Anyone know how many knots they fly when they enter the descent with the glideslope?

I guess they don't use sterile cockpit over in europe.

The pilot isn't filming... this is from a World Air Routes dvd - there is a cameraman in the jumpseat videoing...

Maybe the real aircraft has some modification. I'm not sure.
