When I took my private pilot check ride the DPE gave me some advice.

Landing with traffic on a parallel runway can be really dangerous, because if you overshoot and he/she overshoots you're going to have a bad day. So if there's traffic on the parallel, always come in on a 5 degree final.

  • @woytybEE thanks!

  • @j1992g your probably won't, and good luck!!

  • @Airbusftw He then was too high for it. This is when you swallow your pride, accept the mistake and call/execute a missed approach. Classic case of 'getthereitis"..

  • Haha wow! I can't wait till I start going for my private this summer at

    Hooks, hopefully I don't encounter anything like this!

  • what did you do when you got back on the ground ?!

  • @willyz777 yeah Hooks had a tower. Dunno how you can confuse right and left though...

  • I would have honked the horn!!!

  • @Airbusftw Oh now I see it. It's so small I thought it was a taxiway.

  • @SuzukiOnda If you stop the vid at 0:13 you will see the other runway 35R. Its much shorter and less wider than 35L.

  • Where's the parallel runway? I only see one....
