    That approach took my breath away. So much more for both pilots to do and be aware of. I can't even imagine learning an approach where, even on the best days, you will at the very least be straightening and leveling the plane until a second before you touch down. Kudos to both of them.

      actually this kinda weather is probably preferable. visbility was still okay and when its colder the air is a bit thicker, allowing for slightly slower approach and landing speed. Paro is an insane airport either way, if you cant land blind here in simulator you better of not attempting the real thing.

      @highcountry That may be true in Amurrica, but (this may come as a shock) the rest of the world is not always like the good ole U S of A. Landing at this airport is different. Only a handful of pilots are qualified to land a passenger jet there. Sure, computers play a large part in operating the systems of any modern passenger jet, but landing here requires exceptional flying skills. However, I do understand why pilots don''t like the degree to which computers have taken over.... especially if they are flying Boeing 737s, although with them the problems seem to be mainly just after take-off.... if you see what I mean... y'all. You got something against female pilots by any chance?

Long time I wondered why they take this dangerous route to land, but recently I had had the chance to fly in an airliner-simulator where the instructor showed me that you can´t make steep finals like small propellered aircrafts I use to fly. Airliners need to reduce speed and height softly an so this approaching route is a must.

      Hi Joe! How do we know that it is the captain flying the plane and not the first officer? I am not pilot, and just curious to know what hints to that, since we don't see who's holding the stick.

    Amazing landing and video! I thought pilots land at Paro only when the weather is all clear and winds calm. This Captain has proven that even in cloudy/foggy conditions pilots do attempt to land at Paro, and do it amazingly well. Both the Captain and First Officer were really calm, relaxed and even had time to take a sip of water!! I will look at the video again and make sure I do not blink!!

  • @pcpilot6991
    @pcpilot6991 Рік тому +12

    Wow amazing!! As a flightsim enthusiast I have flown this approach to Paro a gazillion times (on a side note, the flightsim scenery seems to be very consistent with what is seen here). But not even once have I had the courage to try without selecting perfectly clear visibility settings, it is almost 100% hand flying. In this video though you can barely see the surroundings during the super tight U turn between two mountains, followed by negotiating that obstructing cliff seconds before touchdown. I was under the impression that the ATC wouldn't even allow to descent into the valley if the visibility was subpar. I guess the local pilots have perfect situational awareness wired into their heads no matter whether they can see or not🙏

    It's probably not the most dangerous airport, but certainly a rather complex approach through the narrow terrain corridor. With an aircraft of this size crucial to have gentle control on the stick and calm pilots. Great perspective and really cool to watch. Thank you for uploading!

      @@h4mmersbald congrats. The thing is, one need's to get the exact moment hooked when to go into the left turn, all the while having the right descent angle and altitude dialed. Problem is you can't really see the ALS - if there is one at all - due to the sharp banking angles from right to left so it's all feel and / or experience.

    Landing under such weather conditions (light rain) makes it even more challenging. The approach is visual only. When the plane is finally aligned it is only 600 ft from the threshold. There is no margin for error!
    Maybe it's good that most passengers aren't aware that at some points the distance to terrain ia not more than 200 ft at a speed of 180 knots...
