Cessna 172 Landing London City Airport Funday 2008

On Board G-BXSE, the last Cessna 172 to land at London City in 2008! Pilot-Paul takes the controls for finals in a sporty crosswind at London City Airport on 05 July 2008. Flown in at their 2008 Funday on PPR. The London City Airport Funday raises many thousands of pounds for the Richard House Children's Hospice which provides care and support for life-limited children and their families. http://www.richardhouse.org.uk/

Filmed with my trusty Nokia N95 hence the scanning caused by the prop.

it was a greaser!

I agree that the approach is a bit wobbly (probably just the usual london gusts), might have gone around even though, but the horn is normal and good before touching down (if you are on a cessna and not on a 747 mate!). And at the end the touch down was quite smooth.

The stall warner should go off just like that - else, in a cessna, your probably landing 'flat' and/or fast.

Sucky landing by the way. I can't say I have ever made the horn go off three times landing.

It's funny how those Flycams do that to the prop.
