  • I don't believe it is.

    Listen for 'Cathay 511, cleared to land'.

    Cathay 511 was a pax flight Fukouka to Hong Kong. HK tower never cleared anything to land before the previous one had cleared the runway, unlike some places in the world.

    The plane's titles do not say 'Cathay Pacific Cargo' which the cargo planes have.

    And there was a full set of upper deck windows which the cargo planes do not have. It is a 747-200, btw.

  • The pilots made that final 47 degree turn look ever so simple in that crosswind!

    Nice approach. Always did love the Kai Tak checkerboard approach.

  • @Huannt58 They already stole your brains

  • @goccioloni Cargo Plane??? 1:07 It's said "Cathay Pacific", not "Cathay Pacific Cargo" ^v^

  • @FF35Pilot Chep Lap Kok Airport ( VHHH ) is opened at 1999

  • Im assuming 1998, but it probably wasn't fully built. Id don't think it is now

  • @FF35Pilot when did the new airport in Chep Lap Kok start?

  • @Cathaydude June 6, 1998

  • is it true that CPA used to line up to the left of the localizer, to allow earlier turns and more 'room for error' on short final?

  • Cathay Pacific Airline Do STEAL your Valuable stuffs . Do NEVER LEAVE YOUR VALUABLE STUFFS IN THE CHECHED IN LUGGAGE. THEY DO STEAL THEM.

  • kai tak is closed in 2000!

  • WTF? thats a bad crosswind. u dont do a crosswind and still do it on the floor and hurry and turn. thats how crashes happens.when your about 6 feet off the floor turn to the runway and then land. not reccommended to do that!
