[Cdawg816]

shame on you. you didnt turn off your electronics lol

[33minnesotatwins]

at 2:48, did the pilot put the flaps up a notch???? i have never seen that on a flight before hahaha

[33minnesotatwins]

@33minnesotatwins must have been over the flap seep limit

[MyPilot747]

@33minnesotatwins yea the pilot put a notch up at 2:48 cuz he does everything too soon and same with spoilers he put them down when he was 50 knots on the runway not even getting off

[xgunther]

Is this the 31L RNAV Z approach?

[fsxaddictx]

what time was the landing?

[chazflyz]

@fsxaddictx Cannot remember. Was over a year ago in March 2010. Probably around 5-5:30 pm. I remember it was around sunset.

[fsxaddictx]

@chazflyz LUCKY! Now all of the Alaska flights into SJC from KOA and OGG get in like at 10-10:45pm

Why is everyone moaning about him having his phone on? If 'airplane' mode is on then the phone does not send out signals and so cannot interfere with the coms and systems, jeez.

[Chamisjc]

very nice vid man!!!

[pcpilot96]

how do you know that it was a visual landing? maybe it was a CAT iii ILS landing

[chazflyz]

@pcpilot96 KSJC does not utilize CAT III ILS

[MusicLover11325]

@chazflyz What about runway 30R?

[chazflyz]

@MusicLover11325 30R does not have an ILS approach. Just VOR and RNAV/GPS.

[MusicLover11325]

@chazflyz Wait my bad, I messed up. What about 30L?

[chazflyz]

@MusicLover11325 30L/12R has an ILS, but it's category I (standard minimums 200' ceiling, 1/2 visibility)

[MusicLover11325]

@chazflyz Oh, well can't blame it, Mineta is small.

[scaremenga]

@Sho69607 Louder than 767-300's and -400's too, from my experience.

[scaremenga]

I'm pretty sure that one phone won't interfere with any aircraft's instruments.. it's just if multiple phones were on, problems could potentially arise. And anyways, I'm glad this guy had his phone on to capture this great landing. :D

[sk16all]

@SkyWestCRJPilot Yeah, but flight sim doesn't count...

[JASPREET42]

I remember seeing this plane (alaska 737) doing a turn...I think there was a US Airways 737 landing right before you

[sk16all]

You had your iPhone on during landing?! You could have thrown off the instruments and crashed the plane!!!!

[chazflyz]

ZomG!11! Really?!?!

[BigSam3788]

@chazflyz They're not worried about electronic interference. They just don't want those devices to become flying projectiles if the ride gets bumpy.

[chazflyz]

@BigSam3788 My reply is full of sarcasm. :-)

[BigSam3788]

@chazflyz Sorry. I meant to reply to the comment you replied to.

[sk16all]

@BigSam3788 Babies on peoples laps become projectiles too...just sayin

[MrPungowiyi]

@sk16all well there is airplane mode on cellular divices

[sk16all]

@MrPungowiyi Still could have totally crashed the plane...

[imanseven]

@sk16all wow that would never happen they say it inter fears with everything and it never does

[PilotUTA]

@sk16all airplane mode FTW!

[Gromit801]

@sk16all Airplane mode idiot.

[sk16all]

@Gromit801 Feel better now?
