Holy crap! Talk about a slam dunk approach. Was the approach designed that way as part of noise abatment?

Ah Jetmagic good times
-
The airline is Jet Magic, which is no longer in business.

When dose the white STEEP light come on? I'm going to guess when the approch is loaded in the FMS, and the flaps make it to 45, therefor the FMS knows this is a steep appr and then the pilot pushes the steep button to get the green square, so you may continue the appr. If anyone knows ------ please help FSI in the USA, was no help

great vid! nice mic isolation!

I want to be a pilot :)

what airline is this
-
How does steep approach mode help the pilots??

So, how does the steep approach mode help the pilots? Obviously it's not part of the auto-pilot, since that was turned off.

Fantastic video, thanks! Nice spot landing too!
Thank you for posting this, it should help a bit with the new ERJ I got for my simulator. I enjoyed the city lights and the commentary on approach :) Also, what exactly does steep mode do?

The instrument landing approach procedure is deemed steep when the glide slope is greater than or equals 4.5 degrees in relation to horizon. While the standard instrument landing glide slope angle is 3.0 degrees, at LCY the glide angle can be as great as 5.5 degrees. Normally a steep-approach instrument landing procedure is used over large urban centers such as London to reduce noise, or in areas surrounded by mountains, such as in Lugano, Switzerland.

Maybe the real aircraft has some modification. I'm not sure.
