High & Fast Approach Into BUR

Landing Runway 15, I have no idea why they didn't just execute a missed approach. This approach and landing seems fairly dangerous on a Runway as short as BUR has. I don't remember when I recorded it but it was prior to the SWA that overran Runway 8 that ended up on Hollywood Way.

@tee987 He was doing what ATC ordered, and besides pilot can have all the coffee they want on board the aircraft. I have a friend who is a Southwest captain, and they are the most well trained pilots in the world.

why no missed approach? because it's southwest. high and fast is the only way they (used to) fly.

@Chappygolucky6 it was between a 737 (southwest) and a 757 (American).

BTW, I'm pretty sure they teach these concepts at Riddle, I have the Airline Transport Professional Multi Track program under my belt from the same campus.

ATC kind of decides who they want where when it comes to sequencing traffic in a TRACON area... if that 737 is going to beat you to the punch because its doing 135ish indicated and this Cessnas doing 110 level, when that jet can land and the wake turbulence will spread before you even get to the final approach, they're not going to vector a higher paying customer around or send him missed and dump another several thousand dollars of fuel, and have pissed off customers.

Hello Ryan

I enjoy your video it was a fast approach, was that pilot in hurry to get his coffee or what!

What year was this???

@ERAUPRCWA True, true, but maybe they were cleared for landing before the aircraft due to wake turbulence?(If aircraft was a heavy)
