For whom complaining about the interior designs and ... the wipers... here is some information you may be interested: This airplane is Airbus A319, which had been designed in 1984 and debuted in 1987. It has the first ever fly-by-wire system powered by 6 Motorola 6502 CPUs. It has 6 colored CRT screens to display all the flight information. Because of the fly-by-wire and sidestick design, the flight deck and seats are very comfortable. It even has a tray table so the crew can enjoy their meals. Also, the cockpit is large enough to carry crew's 20 luggages, and tons of documents, and all those emergency equipments. Pilots can even fullly stand up in the cockpit to stretch their back and legs... Even in today, this flight deck is still one of the most comfortable flight decks comparing to other similar aircraft. Most classic cars even Mercedes at that era couldnt reach the same comfort level. Also aircraft last very long due to their carefully design and strictly test. A new design can take years to get certificates for entering commercial operation. And the wipers, yes, they don't work as good as in cars, but they have their strength in their motors and connections. They are not synchronous and work independently if one doesn't work, another will not be affected.
Correction Airbus a319 is first western-made aircraft to have fly-by-wire sustems. The first ever was soviet an124. The equivalent of fly-by-wiee in this aircraft was in use at least 10 years before similar system was claimed to be invented and developed by airbus 😊
@@thardyryll not that I'm aware of. But they were the first to send a capsule to space, live animal (and got it back alive) and a human as well :) We all think they were technological primitives, but if you look closer they weren't
I have about 7000 hours on the A320...and I must admit that this was perfect. No way I would ever even dare to do this approach. Absolutely amazing job.
stop bragging, do you really need to tell the entire world what u fly, how many hrs you have just to say it was a good landing🙄🙄. You forgot to mention, what car you drive, how many rooms in your hse, what type of dog you have, all necessary info to say it was a good landing
@@AwesomeAngryBiker I apologize for triggering your ego. But you might have noticed that I do not have a profile with my pilots´ gear and fancy stuff on my head and show my flight-adventures...like you do. It´s not my fault that you feel offended. It´s just like it is. I would not even dare to try this approach and I admire those pilots.
One of the most beautiful and dangerous airports on the planet ...the entire flight itself is a tourist package and worths the visit let alone touring around Bhutan ❤
@@johndonovan7018 I guess I'm not as familiar with international markings. I thought the first bars were 500ft (usually not solid paint in US) and the second at 1000ft. The cockpit passes the second, but the mains would have touched on those second markings, no?
@@mccloysong paro doesn't have threshold height and the markings are not actually used other than a rough guide irl. he had her down down at basically the N taxiway, which is what i was going by along with him floating it. the thing bout paro is, standard rules do not apply, thats why i said its moot. all that really matters is the approach as that will determine if you can land or have to go around.
I can't get enough of these masterful pilots landing at Paro. I am too old now I would certainly wish I had visited Bhutan in my younger days, lovely place.
That was bad ass! Would love the opportunity to fly interesting approaches like that. This video also reminded me why I almost never use the wipers. They are even more annoying in person.
Awesome landing! Would you be okay with me featuring it in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
What a superb approach. Bang on the glide slope all the way down. That would take some practice to get right, as the AC is only around 200ft up at the moment it finally lines up. They hit the 1000' runway markers right on. Great flying. Really enjoyed that.
I'm in a conundrum deciding who has more kohonads, the pilots and passengers on this no room for error approach, or the people with some very nice homes on the approach path. With just shy of 50 hours many moons ago in C150s, and probably hundreds of hours on MSFS, what gets me about this approach is that it's a cool approach and landing. Unless something goes wrong... Then the manure will be heard hitting the props.
The wipers and the plane do their job for 30plus years, that is 5 times the duration of an average US car, it is good enough for those excent pilots, so people with no idea about aviation should not complain
My heart did not stop. But I do admire the pilot's skill and ability to navigate the approach and land the aircraft safely. Probably wasn't his first time.
I love that in 2024, with all the technology we have, our best solution for rain on a windshield is still just wiping it off really quickly over and over
This is an interesting vid for me, as I have made this approach in MSFS 2020 more than once, and each time I did....I followed the valley floor as I approached, with a parallel set of mountains on either side, the little turn to the left, and then the right hander on the way in, and the final left bank to land, But in this video, they come from over the mountain (on the right side of my approach), sink and bank hard right to line up with the valley floor, right before the end turns. As someone who has flown this approach, this is an insane way to land at this airport. There has to be a reason for it, but dang. Try landing at Paro in Flight Sim, and you will see what I mean. This video is heart stopping if you know more about this approach.
Thank you for watching the video. I am glad you loved it and been flying on MSFS. Way to go!!! It's challenging for sure but do it few times correctly it will be easier. I have more videos in the channel taken via gopro if u have a look at full procedures and on a clearer weather. Enjoy!!!
@@FlyingDragonPilot Thanks, I appreciate that. I love to fly, and would have been an airline pilot if I had things to do again. Cheers from Northern California.✌️
MSFS is phenomenally accurate. Even back in the day, I used to use it to train before flight school days. Touch and goes, out to do the next day's maneuvers by CSOC, etc. My airport was KCOS, and I say MSFS because we are talking '80's. MSFS 2020 is so realistic that with the control sets available today, and 4K video, TI 3090, and surround sound, you can get immersed enough to stop your heart, IMHO!
@@alreaud That is very cool you have used flight sim to train, and I love how amazing the new sim looks. I like how it looks so much, I fly 100% in external view. I'm not trying to pretend I'm flying from the cockpit, I use it more as a video game. Sure, I will pop into the cockpit and flip switches, and set the autopilot pilot, auto throttle. I follow procedures, flight paths, and flight rules...I just like watching the plane fly, as I fly it.....and the amazing graphics as the world passes by. Taking off and landing, OH and the approach are very fun in external view.
What is the problem with the wipers ? They are just design to do what needed. And be sure they are stronger and more efficient than yours on your cars !!!
This airport is tricky, if the wind is blowing from a certain angle don't even try. It always rains, I ask the tower guy if they have days with nice sunny skies, he Replied back in May one day from morning to evening and we were there at the end of December.
With standard rotary wipers, yes, it is impossible. You could get the most of a whole widow if you moved a wiper oriented to a window edge in one direction, but an airplane window can't be rectangular, because of excess stress at the corners. That was found out, catastrophically, in one of the first commercial BOAC airliners. And wipers have to be able to withstand the airstream forces...
Would fkying into that airport at night in pitch darkness still be possible with thst manoeuvre?🥺😲 I know little about flying but i know iFR but surely things like position of the aircraft relative to the hilly sides is scary issue in darkness 😢
Those wipers sure are doing their best to keep the plane airborne.
You mean auxiliary flaps?
They're flapping the main wings.
I was going to say the same thing.
I'm amazed at those speeds they aren't flying off

@@matthendricks9666 He claims below it's a "pretty standard approach and landing"....say no more
Not heart stopping.. But a good approach and safe landing.
Having to bank at 100’ to line up with the runway centerline with terrain on either side was pretty impressive.
Brilliant flying. 120% respect for those pilots flying a completely visual approach in those conditions. Wow!
One of the most beautiful and dangerous airports on the planet ...the entire flight itself is a tourist package and worths the visit let alone touring around Bhutan ❤
Flawless speed and descent control, nailed it on the landing markers.
There were 3 flawss
touched down late actually but inconsequential. the approach itself was smooth

- "This looks like good spot for helicopter pad."

The wipers did a great job landing the plane.
Auto land wipers
@@andrewstorm8240Model T wipers seem more functional.
Tricky approach - and these conditions were pretty GOOD! Good crew always make the difficult appear easy - nicely done.
How about we all agree that it’s a super tricky approach that definitely has the potential to be heart stopping!
It's almost as if the designers of the airport said 'Where can we put this to test pilots to their limits?'
02:25 not much room for error here. Fantastic skills. No wonder only a handful of pilots are certified to fly this route.
I would have to say that those pilots had made that approach and landing a time or two before 😊😊. Great job!
That was bad ass! Would love the opportunity to fly interesting approaches like that. This video also reminded me why I almost never use the wipers. They are even more annoying in person.

super pilots! .....wonderful landscape..
how do you know?
@@credera how do you know what? Paro is the most difficult apporoach in the world, that's how
Holy crap, there is an airport there!
Brilliant guys A319 way to go what an aircraft
Holy hell. That's some skill right there. I don't even think I could pull that off in a flight sim.
That's coz you're a Trump supporter.
the old Kai Tak has the same kind of excitement
Ive tried in MS. Its real difficult getting speed, decent and the turn just right...hats off to these guys.
What a superb approach.
Bang on the glide slope all the way down.
That would take some practice to get right, as the AC is only around 200ft up at the moment it finally lines up.
They hit the 1000' runway markers right on. Great flying.
Really enjoyed that.
it's an RNP approach. There is no glide slope.
@@lostmoon77not an RNP either this is visual
FLYING VFR under IFR conditions, good job
The pilot earned his wages on that landing!
I believe the F-111's I worked on in the USAF had a bleed air system for the windscreen, and the cockpit switch was labeled "Rain Removal".
Insane approach!!! Wow !
Rock and Roll gents in the cockpit. Excellent landing.
That’s almost fighter pilot flying. Great vid. 👍
Those wipers made me think I was flying in a locust.
🤣

He made it look so flawlessly easy.
Wauw :-D Now, that's flying! 😀
Superbly executed very nicely done….
These guys would ace the Mach loop.
If this was heart-stopping, this video would not been here at all 😊
Good piloting skills on this difficult approach but the only thing that stopped my heart was those crappy windshield wipers.
My heart did not stop. But I do admire the pilot's skill and ability to navigate the approach and land the aircraft safely. Probably wasn't his first time.
Sh***!!! This approach scared the hell out of me. Badass pilots with a badass A320.
I love that in 2024, with all the technology we have, our best solution for rain on a windshield is still just wiping it off really quickly over and over
Those guys are good at what they do.
Did you ever see such anemic windshield wipers?
Ha-Ha!! Must be aftermarket additions!! ✈️
Hmmm, yeah. I placed a little bit too much trust in a fart the other night, and managed to move more fluid than those wipers 😳😁
That flapping is what kept the plane flying
On an old Ford...
@@fjbtube6278 🤣Boeing fan!
Great skills
Wow - so many hills to avoid.
Try landing on Tanna Island Vanuatu with active volcano heat under the wings. Small 6 seater aircraft and they weigh the passengers

They really are not.
@@alangordon3283 You are probably a specialist !
Even me I was about to post what's wrong with the wipers given many people have said so
So what's the issue are people are having. I am confused
These are the kind of pilots who know how to truly fly an airplane. Top marks to their skill and proffessionalism.
These pilots are crazy - also very good, but crazy.
Non avgeek said autopilot did everything, But Can Autopilot do this ?
Wipers squeak on planes too! You can learn something every day.
Even the wipers are anxious
Awesome. That's some boss sh*t right there.
Just curious...how old are you?
Real pilots!
Always thrilling to wat the landings at Paro.
Amazing skill!

Are pilots actually made to do these kind of approach?
Is it impossible to design wipers that actually wipe most of the window? Imagine the mess if it starts fogging or icing.
With standard rotary wipers, yes, it is impossible. You could get the most of a whole widow if you moved a wiper oriented to a window edge in one direction, but an airplane window can't be rectangular, because of excess stress at the corners.

Busy like a boss.
Multi million dollar aircraft with wipers from a Datsun 😂😂
Can i buy those wiper blades at autozone??
That's sporty!
Прикольно, хотел туда слетать, но билеты из Дели и обратно $800 стоят, это очень дорого за пару двухчасовых перелётов
Watched it over & Over ,, Dang.
Why is this heart-stopping?
Sticked the landing 👌
Very good pilot
The opening looked like a shot from a Wes Anderson film
Nice approach.
Those window wipers... 😂😂🤣
nothing heart stopping about that, pretty standard app and landing
Yep, landing a twin engine jet at one of the most demanding airports in the world is "pretty standard" LOL. Legend.
Makes flying into KAES or KTEX like a walk in the park
Hold up... let me concentrate and turn on the wipers.
The pilots did a great job, but at 2:40 the airplane started insulting them.
Airbus airplanes are famous for insulting pilots. The next generation will also insult passengers.
😃 😃 😃
Airbus also has dogs barking at passengers
this why 2 people have to be in control, the one flying and the other reseting the aircraft after landing, leave it the way you found it !
This country really needs to remove that mountain,
Extra impressive to the land with the GWPS repeatedly shouting a slur at you
Butter 🧈
I wonder if it would keep flying on one window wiper.
Pull over and let me out please.
😃 😃 😃
I wonder how a 1 engine out escape route would look like!
wow
Noisy wipers!
Wipers look like my ILS needles. 😢
Mine when i do the loc bc
🤣
Imagine doing it at night or in real BAD WEATHER.
I would do that in my Cessna 172, but no way in hell would I fly that approach in a 319. 8-)
Nice
I've done that approach and landing a dozen times in FSX; it's not hard.
FSX is child's play
Silky smoove
cool refresh rate
Why is the copilot fiddling around with the overhead buttons? It is very distracting.
Heart-stopping???
Would fkying into that airport at night in pitch darkness still be possible with thst manoeuvre?🥺😲
I know little about flying but i know iFR but surely things like position of the aircraft relative to the hilly sides is scary issue in darkness 😢
I think the opposite runway is straight approach
Why are all the screens flashing?
camera shutter speed and screen refresh rate shenanigans. in reality they're not flickering, it's caused by the camera recording it
@@esscee96 ty!
But they didn't perform the Bank Angle Check!
2:40 That's kinda mean, I thought the pilots did a fantastic job.
