After flying over the Sierra Maestra mountains I prepared this Virgin B747 to land at ILS runway 9 in Antonio Maceo Airport, Santiago de Cuba. Some windy conditions almost caused the aircraft to land off the runway at the very last moment!

  • Nice vid!

    Flying the heavies solo is neither easy nor fun.

    That's why i always fly those using something called "Multi Crew Experience" (for which a free demo can be downloaded).

    I can talk to my virtual co-pilot, give him instructions to flip switches, dial speed, altitude and heading. He does everything realistically. To top it up, i can talk to Native FS or Radar Contact ATC.

    You'll need a microphone though, LOL ;-))

  • @johnfoster187 I just purchased that add on and it is really amazing. Thanks for watching!

  • There really was no wind involved...you were not aligned with the runway originally. You were coming in from the right and you didnt properly align the aircraft during the approach phase of the flight.

  • You cant know the planes speed without watching the gauges, i think that speed was just normal, and not really too high. 747´s normal landing speed is around 130-160 knots.

  • You almost hit the runway mate

  • if your not lined up with the runway, which you werent, Dont bank the aircraft to get lined up..... theres a really helpfull tool called "the Rudder"

  • @rguilarte Yeah man their was No wind involved i can tell you just weren't lined up properly

  • God himself couldn't stop you from bringing it down apparently. Bull headed crap like that will get you and your passengers killed. Bad decision..

  • Dude when you had touchdown you kept the front gear up for like, eight seconds. And you were pretty off-center, too. Try to increase your skill first.
