The Grandest of Canyons- Flight over the Grand Canyon
This flight took place on January 12, 2022. We took off from Falcon Field (KFFZ) and proceeded to Sedona (KSEZ) for fuel and planning. After taking off from Sedona, we flew up to the Grand Canyon and completed the Tuckup and Fossil Canyon Corridors. We landed at the Grand Canyon Airport (KGCN) for food and fuel before taking off to fly the Dragon and Zuni Point Corridors. We then flew back to Falcon to complete this once in a lifetime experience.
This flight was conducted by 3 pilots: Darren Mushkin (Private ASEL), Sebastian Valenzuela (Private ASEL), and Jordan Chase-Fines (Commercial AMEL).
All photography and videography was conducted by a passenger not flying the airplane.

Southwest Wing View Landing into Washington D.C. | Runway 19 | *HD*

This is the right side view of Southwest 1153 landing on the famous runway 19 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDGA). The left side view of this approach is well-known for its view of the National Mall. However, I was unfortunately sitting on the right side of the aircraft and was not able to record that approach.

Southwest Wing View Landing into Phoenix | Harsh turns on Final Approach with Smooth Landing *HD*
Переглядів 129 тис.7 років тому
This was a landing into Phoenix Sky Harbor International (KPHX) on a Southwest Boeing 737-700. On Final Approach, there were many harsh turns to line up with runway 26. It almost turned into a go-around but the pilots were able to line up and produce a smooth landing. Edit 3/10/2021: These turns do not qualify as harsh to me today. When I posted this video more than 3 years ago, I did not under...

    It appears he's making S turns to put more distance between him and the airplane in front of him to avoid having to make a go-around. By FAA regulations the plane in front of him has to exit the runway before he can land. I have done the same thing many times.

    If you previously considered these harsh turns, fly into Tucson. They do a lot of s turns when landing to the east. I think they are fun. And if you really want to see what a harsh turn feels like try a Lemon Creek departure out of Juneau.

    That's a fascinating little video. It's amazing how much the plane responds to very small movements of the control surfaces. The plane banks left and right but the aileron barely moves at all.

    • @Andrew-13579
      @Andrew-13579 3 роки тому

      I think the “roll spoilers” are doing most of the roll control for banking. They are the rectangular panels ahead of the flaps that raise up. Spoilers have a few uses: alternately on left or right wing for roll control to assist the ailerons; together, in flight to reduce speed and/or altitude; and after landing to provide drag and put downward load on the main wheels to reduce tendency to bounce into the air again and increase braking force without skidding.

    • @brandoncenteno1834
      @brandoncenteno1834 2 роки тому

      just how aerodynamics work. the faster the plane is flying through the air the less deflection is needed to generate the same force. at slow speeds (near landing), they have to deflect more (hence the spoilers aiding in roll commands).

  • @whenisaywhoaimeanwhoa3419

    I’ve flown this approach many times into Phoenix. At the beginning of the video the flight crew is on a 180° heading. First turn is left to 135° to enter the pattern (At 0:44 you can see the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airpot in the bottom right corner). The next turn is a continuous right turn to 225° to intercept the localizer. Once the localizer was captured, they were above the glide slope so they performed a couple S-turns to lose altitude to capture the glide slope. Once captured, you will notice the crew pulls the flaps in one notch. Then they are stabilized for the 2-mile final of the approach. Hand flown, no autopilot. Excellent job.

      Why not use the speed brakes and point the nose down more? I’m not saying you’re wrong, just asking. ...and it didn’t look harsh to me, just a couple extra turns. Fun. :) Nice, steady, clear video, though.

      Lived in Arizona. Flew many times into SkyHarbor the same way, not scary, flying into OKC is HARSH with a high wind. Beautiful airport in Phoenix. Love Oklahoma, but miss Arizona.

    • @whenisaywhoaimeanwhoa3419
      @whenisaywhoaimeanwhoa3419 3 роки тому

      @@Andrew-13579 That’s a great question. On the B737, the speed brakes/spoilers are on the top of the wing. When deployed, they create drag along with some loss of lift on the wings which at lower speeds is not good. When you are needing to descend quickly from a higher altitude, speed brakes work well because of the higher speed you can afford to lose some lift and be okay. If you are on final at a slower speed, slats/flaps are deployed to create additional lift at the slower speed. If you also deployed the speed brake, you will be countering the action of the additional lift. In fact Boeing recommends speed brakes not be deployed below 1,000 ft. Another secondary consideration is passenger comfort. Speed brakes cause buffeting which can make some passengers uneasy. If will also cause a slight negative G situation when you push the nose over, which will also make some passengers uncomfortable. Not to mention the noise created above areas with noise abatement rules. Hope that helps.

    I have flown on Southwest several times and felt that they, along with literally all major airlines, have done pretty good in their skill of landing the passenger planes. I have a brother-in-law that was a pilot with them for 20 years...always a professional in any of the planes he has flown of various types in some 50 years of flying. Phoenix is one of my favorite places to visit with several relatives living around there. I like the Sky Harbor Airport.

      Remember flying in there on business trips. Go a block west to the car rental. Get a car and drive back to the lot in front of the main door. About a 150ft walk to get inside. And get my Haagen Dass ice cream inside the door while the other couple folks in the group got the bags together. Long before the eastern bldg add on.
