Flying in the cockpit of the Druk Air BAe146 to Paro Bhutan. For this program www.worldairroutes.com/DrukAir... FOLLOW US on INSTAGRAM / thisisaviation FACEBOOK / justplanes
I'm a pilot and have been since 1972, ATP. Retired I now fly low, about 10 feet AGL, but at 80 MPH (old air speed) in a PT-17 Stearman. I fly between trees and over rivers, but NOTHING like these guys. Hats off to you. Trying to climb in thin air, probably heavy, and turning at the same time, may look easy, but I'll bet no matter how many times they have done it they are looking, listening, and feeling for anything that isn't right. Real nice video.
This looks alarming even to a non pilot..the ''whooping' alarm, and the sheer amount of small mountains looked terrifyingly gnarly to fly out of..and back again to land..fair play to these Pilots, and aircrew.
StearmanPilot Wilhelm The ALF 502 engines have an automatic shut-down feature with no opportunity for relight until reset by ground engineers! So, engine/s out would be problematic here.
You've never flown heavies than. Have been to worse many times. It's a matter of good briefings, crew coordination and knowing what to expect. The "terrain - terrain" voice goes off on numerous climb outs in high terrain situations if you set up your departure correctly. Flying this VFR is nothing, try doing it IFR which I've done similar many times.
Paro airport Bhutan, I had the pleasure to visit this little country in 2007. Nothing but Mountains, with the friendliest people, 1 traffic light in the entire nation, archery ranges that cross roads and a national dish of chillies and cheese.... And the some of the best mountain flying pilots in the world!
amazing take off! What a round about way to climb and go back over the airport to get out to where they needed to go was really cool. Must be exciting to see from the ground the plane pulling hard to the right to climb. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for this upload! I really enjoyed it! Skilled pilots!
That ship is the BAE 146 and it is one of the safest aircraft in the world because it does have 4 engines. It's one of my all time favorites for that reason and I've had the pleasure to fly on one twice. It truly wants to fly. You'll notice that, even though the density altitude is high, they don't use a lot of runway. Great ship!
Love it, the view, the great scenes, nice professional piloting & the sweetest little 4 engine jet the BAE 146 ! Climbs well in that steep little valley too...
Actually landings are way more scary here. There is a video of an A319 landing here in youtube. The plane doesn't even level off after approaching minimums!
some very ignorant people here, probably flight simulator warriors. Loosing an engine on takeoff at 7000 feet is in my opinion very dangerous. Besides terrain around you, make a wrong turn, or turn too slow/fast bam you are now part of a mountain. Also try to maintain 3K+ vertical climb while turning with an engine out. There is a reason that pilots need special qualifications to fly places like this.
You remind me of the Air Traffic controller at Hamburg who tried to chastise a British Airways Captain for not appearing to know all the procedures for landing there? he had the stupidity to ask if the Pilot had ever been to Hamburg before? The Pilot answered him by saying that he had done so previously! But not to land at that time? Just drop his bombs and return to Blighty! Mr German learned a quick lesson in humility that day! :-(
Wonder what the engine out climb procedure would be in such terrain. Also that V1 call seemed an aweful long way down the runway for an abort. Amazing flying all the same...
I would say the best! Then again there are some good channels that are actually created from the pilots them selves... But my personal opinion would be that "JustPlanes" is the best aviation UA-cam channel; Have a nice day
Very nice vlog. Thank you. Very fascinating watching this and the highly skilled pilots flying through the mountains. Bhutan must be a special and wonderful place.
This is one of the most interesting video that I have ever seen. It demonstrates the difference of takeoffs & landings at daylight and at night from a safety point of view. Congratulations for your excellent work.
Awesome video and beautiful takeoff. Nothing dangerous about that. The takeoff procedure was planned way ahead of time and that crew was well trained for situation which would scare the hell out a lot of American pilots accustomed to 2-3 miles of runways flying heavies. I love the level off just after initial climb following rotation to build up speed. That British Aerospace 146 is a kickass bird. Great stuff. Thanks.
+Ray Scares American Pilots so bad they use the 146 for fire fighting in the hills. We also use DC-10s. You want to see dangerous look up some of the videos.
Yeah, yeah but just how many pilots use these aircraft for flying thousands of passengers, 24/7 into and out of international airports? Uh...zero. I wasn't talking about flying fire fighters which are as rare as hen's teeth.
Ray, of course it's dangerous. Flying is inherently dangerous and flying in an environment with limited options for life saving maneuvers during a failure of flight critical systems in that environment increases the danger. Yes, the pilots are well trained professionals but training and professionalism are not going to make the airplane gain altitude faster if they lose an engine on climbout in that environment. Controlled flight into terrain kills you just as dead as uncontrolled flight into terrain.
Was lucky enough to fly out of there in 1985 had to wait 3 days waiting for the weather to change.. it was a grass runway then. happy days happy times. met some great people.
Pilots so impress me,, I wish I could fly,, but I know better,,, I just do not have the discipline to pay attention to details like skilled pilots do,, I watch all the cool videos, of some of the skilled /talented pilots and just am amazed with them,, This video is for sure in that list! thanks for posting.. kodi
This is Bhutan....though its one of the dangerous airport in the world but till date no record of accident by Bhutanese pilot have occur..except few dangerous landing by Indian air force pilot..even experienced pilot has to go through especial training for months to fly from this airport....
I just love this video. It’s awesome each time. Four purring engines faithfully pulling a plane aloft. The surrounding hills remind you that it has all got to work. Of course, it does. There really isn’t anything special about that in the jet age. Pucker factor hardly worth mentioning. They take about a minute to reach the temple, about another to be waaaay up and back over the airfield they just took off from. I wonder are they are above the local peaks yet? So cool.
Zachary W, you do know there is usually only one APU on an aircraft. Stands for auxiliary power unit. It generates electricity. I worked at an airport and my X was a commercial pilot so I'm just guessing here. :)
william Greene Yeah it's a joke. I'll explain the joke since humor is lost on you. The engines are tiny on this aircraft, and there are 4 of them. APUs are also relatively tiny compared to narrow body aircraft. My joke assumes 4 narrow body aircraft's APUs are strapped to the wing of this BAe. I'm an airline pilot.
Wow that was awesome and I missed it duh. I just had a brain cramp. Thanks for setting me straight. Humor is not lost on me, but sometimes it seems so.
That take off roll looked painfully slow , despite standing on the brakes and firewalling the throttles . Nice bank with wing tip clearance ...the climb out ...sigh ..for some crew , if I was PF I'd read the 23 Psalm as the last item on the t/o checklist lol.
You guys say what you want. I have plenty of high altitude (which the commenters ignore) and mountainous experience. If all your engines run well, and you don't encounter unfavorable mountain induced wave action you're fine. The point is it's a uniquely unforgiving location for an airport. Period!
I am not a pilot either but to me it is funny to see that the people here that have never flown a plane in real life probably (just in FSX or FG) are the ones with the biggest mouth. Everybody goes like "yeah I could do that with my eyes closed, it is soooo easy" lol. I don't think it is a good Idea to fly your plane with your eyes closed lol :)
Gerard Moran Oh my God. You don't have to be a pilot, just common sense can tell you this situation is insane. One little ant got into the pilot's testicle and bit him there and in a second or two he slams into the mountain. How about weather and visibility problem. I guess that automated sound saying something like do re mi do re mi is some kind of a warning and it went off twice. I bet in USA there must be some regulations to flatten the mountains before building an air port there.
ambrosiobertodazo What sounded like "do re mi do re mi" to you is actually saying, "terrain terrain". The sensor is alerting them to their close proximity to land mass.
ambrosiobertodazo This airport is daytime VFR. Perhaps I should have included that in my 1st comment. Most high airports with dangerous terrain are day/VFR only. The GPWS warnings occur on many approaches/departures with high terrain. They are dismissed ONLY when the are briefed and are expected. Delta printed special "pink pages" that were included in the Jepps for "special airports". Each appraoch and departure was carefully briefed and that included expected GPWS warnings. The most important comment from my 1st post is that this is a "uniquely unforgiving location". A game only. Specially qualified crews only.
Morgan that's not boring! You can hear the cockpit warnings, "terrain, terrain"! With the mountains that close almost any kind of mechanical failure, which might be recoverable flying out of London, would probably be fatal here.
Right about 1:30 you hear the co-pilot call V-1 he rotates and you can hear the rudder pedal shakers going bonkers, he drops the nose a little and then starts his climb. Pretty scary.
+Serhan Ogan forget night flights, there are no flights on many days during the rainy season when there is cloud cover. Without clear visibility one can pretty much forget landing or taking off from here. No ILS or other aids at Paro.
After the speed of V1, they take into consideration that in case they lose one engine, they can continue. Otherwise they are not airworthy of flying out of that airport.
Looks dangerous to me.. Anythings and planes surrounded by mountains.. Is fucking dangerous lmao.. A metal tube going hundreds of miles per hour round that terrain is not safe.. The pilots make it look easy..
"One of the world's most dangerous takeoff" would be totally incorrect grammar, Kieron. Takeoffs is correct in this case because the title starts with "one of the most..." Grammar, it's a lost art.
This is nothing, a blind dog with a note in it's mouth could fly in and out of here. It's only 'dangerous' if the plane breaks or pilot does something really stupid and those things could happen anywhere.

Wow! Those pilots really know their job. Fabulous video. Thank you.
Some great pilot skills there. I like the very professional atmosphere in the cabin. All business when it counts!

Chiilis and cheese?? Latin America style national dish??
Wow. That was short!
This pilot is all professional, skilled, and definitely knows the territory.

From the looks of it, landings are not exactly a cake walk either!

I always love Bhutan TO's and approaches. It takes balls of steel to fly in and out of Paro. Thanks for all of the vids. As always, great job.
Incredible flying skills! Just amazing!
I swear the terrain warning sounded scared.
Do you think those monks have some kind of office pool going?
Any flight path where you have to turn off the GPWS alarm is unbelievable
best raw video.the pilots are great. and the hill wow! this video has a magic in it
My yaks have stopped giving milk since this route has been used!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Hamburg
You're welcome.

Paro Airport in Bhutan - VQPR) is the only international airport of Bhutan.
Awesome, seemed like an adventure!
Wonder what the engine out climb procedure would be in such terrain. Also that V1 call seemed an aweful long way down the runway for an abort. Amazing flying all the same...
Do they offer extra undies for these flights?
Lol

Lawrence J lol!
diapers and antiseptic wipes :)
Lmao
Very cool scenery ascending mountains in a jet plane.
Wow static takeoff with engines at full speed to reach V1 soon. good video ...
I would say the best! Then again there are some good channels that are actually created from the pilots them selves... But my personal opinion would be that "JustPlanes" is the best aviation UA-cam channel; Have a nice day
It's dangerous because there is a mountain at the end of the runway, and as we know wind from mountains bring very strong downdrafts.
We figured that out, that there was a mountain there 🤦🏻♂️
I figured out there was a mountain there, too, but I didn't take into account the strong downdrafts.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I think you would get updrafts....at least that's what orographic winds do.
That's what I thought, Cpt. Knight, and I'm not a pilot. Always wanted to be a pilot, but not in that area. NO WAY.
Wind is the key to this landing or taking off being even remotely dangerous. No wind day... not even close to being dangerous
Yes, interesting takeoff but the approach is definitely equally interesting.
great video! thanx for posting
what a great video !!! spectacular take off and wonderful country ! buthan is magic ....thank you !
wouldn't want to lose an engine after V1 in that environment. So cool and must be a blast to fly
No, I believe you'd find them all securely attached to the wings. Rotate, sweetheart, rotate!
Look at that monastery at 02:42......that is one high place!
Ganga
Impressive.....makes for a busy time for the crew..Thanks...Laurie
Very nice vlog. Thank you. Very fascinating watching this and the highly skilled pilots flying through the mountains. Bhutan must be a special and wonderful place.
paro airport has always been the most difficult landing and take off airport...incredible bhutan love the place by the way
hhhmmm awesome anthony
You can tell it's dangerous if the terrain alarm sounds twice during takeoff :)
I heard the stick shaker just after rotation.
This is one of the most interesting video that I have ever seen. It demonstrates the difference of takeoffs & landings at daylight and at night from a safety point of view. Congratulations for your excellent work.
I REALLY enjoyed watching this :) Good pilot
Holy wow... not a whole lot of options for those guys in the event of a failure. I am a licensed pilot, and this scared the balls off of me. Just wow.
You're a certificated pilot.
If the airplane started screaming terrain at me my ass would gobble up the seat I am sitting on.
schlaznger; Is that what that alarm was at 2:26 ?? I couldn't make out what the machine was saying??
Good one

That would be so much fun, flying through those mountains!! How beautiful they are, as well as the valleys!!
Thanks. They are terrific Pilots.

Looks kinda like a big Warthog AC-10. I agree. I trust it.

thos two fellas in cokpit are helll of the pilot!!!!!! bravo!!!
Terrain... terrain...
Acknowledged! :D
it could say "Temple... Temple...." which would also be an accurate warning lol
kineticdeath Woop, Woop...
mrsteve hartman Pull Up
You are going to kiss :)
He seemed to know what he was doing
Go DRUK !!! Amazing Video - Thank you !
Would be cool to see the Airbus doing that. The landing video of that on here is simply awesome.
VQPR (PBH) Airport, elevation 7,332 feet, runway length 6,445 feet long. Anytime the airport is "taller" than "long" it makes for exciting departures.
Fantastic pilot. Amazing flying.
Love all the terrain warnings.
great footage
Terrain warning! Jesus thats close...
No, Buddha that close!
I would be praying to anything! Just CLimb!!!!
Don't be dragging your feet people.
I want to hear the warning by Tattoo, Terrain ! terrain!
Randy Underwood I
Aircraft - "Terrain Terrain.."
Pilot - "Shut the f*** up!!.... Acknowledge" ;-)
This is an awesome video.
Thanks for posting - very nice!

Have you considered that Pilot training might help you develop the discipline you think you lack?
Dude! U need an iron heart to sit in that flight,let alone piloting it.That flat tone of terrain terrain almost made me run away from the video!
Great upload thanks !
Brilliant ! Thanks for the vid !
Pilot's last word recorded on blackbox: 'acknowledged'
This is Bhutan....though its one of the dangerous airport in the world but till date no record of accident by Bhutanese pilot have occur..except few dangerous landing by Indian air force pilot..even experienced pilot has to go through especial training for months to fly from this airport....

That's something you don't want right after take off, TERRAIN TERRAIN!!
The only thing I'd want to be flying upon takeoff from this airport is an F18!
That was pretty wild. Nice video, good flying.
Skills of air-man-ship at the edge + guys great flying + happy landings
Four APUs wound up real tight!

An amazing video, fair play man.
WOW!THOSE ARE WHAT I CALL REAL PILOTS ,AND THX 4 POSTING !
Can't imagine the pilots workload losing an engine just after V1. Yikes!
I must admit when I was taking off I shit myself, but wasa good flight in the end !
you shit easily then, thats the verdict
First time ive flew to this airstrip, not the easiest place to land and take off
barry styles
Not the east plane to fly on after you been on it either I bet :P.
There was cattle on the runway, not easy.
Holy cow! xD.
Flown out of Paro several times on Druk Air BA 146. It's a blast... beats any Disney ride
WOW BAe 146-100 is my favourite! Freaking awesome video!! Thanks for sharing :)
I flew many times on the Avro (SWISS) and loved every minute of it...but they are almost gone now :(

+Andreas Hoppe They do. However, pilots with balls of steel are often ones that are now 6 feet under.
Any T/O where you have to hear terrain warnings during climb out LMAO..
Morgan that's not boring! You can hear the cockpit warnings, "terrain, terrain"! With the mountains that close almost any kind of mechanical failure, which might be recoverable flying out of London, would probably be fatal here.
Excellent!
Right about 1:30 you hear the co-pilot call V-1 he rotates and you can hear the rudder pedal shakers going bonkers, he drops the nose a little and then starts his climb. Pretty scary.
There are no rudder pedal shakers on the BAe146. That noise was nosewheel vibration as it lifted off the runway.
Bet there are no night flights from that airport.
Serhan Ogan youve just seen one you fucking idiot
Where? Moron.
No. Only 10 am to 3 pm.
+Serhan Ogan forget night flights, there are no flights on many days during the rainy season when there is cloud cover. Without clear visibility one can pretty much forget landing or taking off from here. No ILS or other aids at Paro.
+Serhan Ogan There are no night flights, you are right. This is the airport at Paro, Bhutan.
the pilot a class mate of mine Cpt Sonam Tobgay .Amazing seeing him after 30 odd years on your channel
I am guessing a engine failure here would mean a fatal crash?
They have 2 engines...
Lemar Hashimi But the single engine cant turn and generate rapid lift
After the speed of V1, they take into consideration that in case they lose one engine, they can continue. Otherwise they are not airworthy of flying out of that airport.
MoonGamingInHD Unless Sully is flying. He'll find a river somewhere.
I'm pretty sure engine failure in the first couple minutes anywhere is probably going to kill u'r ass.
I'd rather be landing than taking off any day.
I wonder how would they navigate such treacherous peaks during night flying? or the airport probably doesn't operate after sunset?
Yes, I'd like to know this, too.
Exactly.
There are no flights after 4.00 PM.
I hope to be able to visit Bhutan some day, it looks amazing.
I took a flight in and out of this airport two years ago . It was breath taking but these pilots were so smooth it was not scary at all .
Do they do night flights too?
Nope. Airport is only open during daylight.
No. There are no flights after 4.00 PM. Way too dangerous in the Himalayas - mountains have their own micro-weather.
goldenkoi23 Given the rough terrain and risky approaches there is no night flight as of now..
what if the engine fails during take off?
Then you have another one left. In the case of the BAe 3 others.
Pavlo95 4
You'll scatter your brains all over the mountains!
Then they get the Terrain warnings earlier than anticipated....
"E Nominie Patria, Sed Filli, E Spititu Sancti, Absolve, in Pache Requiscat", said VERY quickly over the cabin PA system would cover it.
Wow, and that's in GOOD weather!!
Wow, these guys are top notch pilots!
Nice video; Stupid Title!
Looks dangerous to me.. Anythings and planes surrounded by mountains.. Is fucking dangerous lmao.. A metal tube going hundreds of miles per hour round that terrain is not safe.. The pilots make it look easy..
Vanadeo k
wow ..great video
piece of cake! just fly the valleys and keep climbing!
"One of the world's most dangerous takeoff" would be totally incorrect grammar, Kieron. Takeoffs is correct in this case because the title starts with "one of the most..." Grammar, it's a lost art.
This is nothing, a blind dog with a note in it's mouth could fly in and out of here. It's only 'dangerous' if the plane breaks or pilot does something really stupid and those things could happen anywhere.
Yeah, exactly. That would have to have very bad winds and low vis to make it the most dangerous.
***** Then the upload will be accurately entitled, rather than being worded fraudulently and hyperbolically to increase the view count. Thumb down.
***** I saw what was written and commented appropriately. I'm a good reader, thanks. I've got a First Class degree from a five hundred year old university. Toodle pip, old bean.
I'm just assuming that night time departures and arrivals or ILS conditions would be avoided???
bs2502 There's no ILS and there are only daytime ops in good visibility.
Surely breathtaking!
A very cool video. Bravo folks.
awesomeness you Roc
