Full length version of the Day IGS 13 approach to Kai Tak. Video opens on cockpit instruments showing the approach, some views of the area around Hong Kong, the landing and a long taxi in. This edit is with ambient noise. A short version of just the approach and landing is also available.

  • When was this taken?

  • Very poor camera work.

  • Because the camera is zoomed, so it gives you the feeling that its almost not moving

  • why does the plane appear to be going so slow when it lands?

  • @2ndAsstJizzMopper Well basicly it's smashing into the mountain/flatappartements or take a swim in the water right? But yes I see you point, so I guess the favours are for puddle jumping. I didn't consider landing abort before ;)

  • Messimaestro, if approaching an airport via ocean, heading into rising terrain, what are your prospects following a go-around? in other words, is it a good idea to add increasing ground elevation to the list of things to look out for while underpowered after a landing abort?

  • @Messimaestro It's something about the wind direction that prevents landing at that end I believe

  • @Messimaestro Winds

  • If this is such a dangerous approach, then why not approaching the strip from the other side? There's full ocean that way right or am I missing something?
