1977, would walk down that runway every morning to work at the London Graving Dock ship repairs. Of course, back then it was a road with storage sheds and cranes on each side. Our workshop was right next to the KG5 dry dock which is roughly where the planes stand right outside the terminal. So the terminal was built right above th dry dock. Pretty sure the dock gates are still in situ.
The rate of decent was normal, check out the red/white slope indicator lights to the right of the runway. Only until the last few moment did the plane drop slightly below the normal path. Being a shortish runway I expect the captain wanted to get his wheels down early on the runway.
Normal for this approach, but London city airport is not a normal airport, the standard glide slope angle is 3.3 degrees, but London city has a slope of 6.6 degrees (I think) whatever the angle is, it is much steeper than a standard approach angle
No it is 't. Standard glideslope angle worldwide is 3 degrees. LCY is set at 5.5. And so are the PAPI's. Descent rates are higher. The issue with the 146 is the approach body angle requires a 'double flare'. The 2 white lights you see on the runway mark the last point you are allowed to touchdown. If you go beyond it's a mandatory go-around. The 146 & RJ series were a perfect LCY match. I flew it for 5 years from LCY. Lovely aircraft and airport.
I've always liked the overwing design for aircraft which to me seems more natural. Considering this plane has no reverse thrusters, it stops in a remarkably short distance.
no idle chit chat going on here. They are very focused. It is a 5.5 deg approach vs the normal 3 deg. They have to touch down within the marks on the runway or a go around is mandatory. At their rate of descent a 1 second hesitation to flare will use up 20% of their flare height and they will hit hard. Only 4400 ft of runway. It is a demanding operation, although the 146 is relatively slow and has a nice big wing.
With the state of automation, the controls of this aircraft seem almost ancient...effective but the similar cock[it design of an aircraft 40-50 years ago.
It was a standard design then, but it was even an old design then, it launched several years after the technology of the A300/A310 and only several years before the modern A320. Ultimately a beautiful aircraft, entirely fit for purpose for what it does. The RJ upgrade provided a lot of useful modernisation
And just over the dome at 11 O'clock sits EGLL London Heathrow. I love taking off from EGLC London City airport and going the dome to Heathrow, nice practice
George Reynolds you try holding an iPhone 5 on a bump approach into city, I filmed this for my personal memory and thought I’d share, I’m no film maker 👍🏻
@@danshelswell4335 It's a nice personal memory, but the zooming magnifies the shaking. As it is a steep descent, a shot of the AH or vertical speed instruments would have been interesting.
I’ve landed at London City in September 2015 - also on a BAE146, I can assure you that was a very smooth landing indeed - for the 146. Perfectly normal touchdown. Also note the lack of any reverse thrust upon touchdown, and that very short roll out.
the bae146 has been build to be approved by the london city airport. He has very big flaps for his size. It allows it to have less noise than other aircraft + it has been build to be a " high approach" aircraft, in order to reduce noise for residential neiborhood around the airport. to summarize to all urban airport in the middle of city . That's why it has a high approach :)
@@scorpion7227 reverse thrust makes it so you can land on a shorter runway. this aircraft has no reverse thrust, only manual breaking. the slower airspeed needed to land at london city due to no reverse thrust making it be a hard landing. they had to get the aircraft down as soon as possible to ensure them stopping on the runway with only manual breaking.

That's quite a steep approach!
Its normally 6 deg approach.
@@johnbrett1575 5.50 Degrees
Since it is landing in this airport it’s very normal
This used to be Shipping Docks - ships brought cargos here from India, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Japan.
I like the analogue cockpit. When ever I see a Bae-146 landing, I can see the least of the landing flair compared to other aircrafts.
nice plane, nice city, nice landing, nice video.
Nice comment, nice co-
Installed cargo doors in 146s back in the late 80s down in Alabama, USA........seems like a million years ago.
I landet there together with my grandson on 21 july 2017 for a weekend London from Rotterdam .

I think international regulation prohibits chit chat below a certain altitude and during specific parts of the flight to avoid distraction.
Ale musi być dopiero prędkość skoro z góry widać pas taki malutki,a za parę sekund przy lądowaniu wszystko się zmienia,piękna praca być pilotem 👍👍👍
キャプテン老眼？？
Nice approach. Interesting that the camera didn't quite get the colour of the PAPI, it desaturated due to over exposure.
I think the camera is good. That's how the PAPIs look when you see them from an angle.
where were the gpws call outs?
they should equip those new engine option geared turbo fans on the Bae 146 . . .its such a perfect machine for having them . . .
very cool airport surrounded by water
Holy hell, that thing doesn't even have a glass cockpit!
Nope, She was built in 1985, and still flying hard everyday. Don’t build them like the British used to anymore
Grizz - glass cockpits are great but one day two pilots will be sat in a small bare room seven miles up.
Very good nice landing
wow that approach is so steep on glissade
It's London city where houses and buildings are right there .they have to fly high so they don't disturb as much
@@noodle7515 5.5 deg. Normal approach is 3. So you are quite right - almost twice the normal angle. Most airplanes can`t do it.
real city airport! nice clip!
Is it heathrow airport....????

That’s actually dangerous like what if a plane over ran... however I don’t see that they have enough area to make it large...

He also looked to high
Jim Widener due to the surrounding buildings the approach is very steep. Roughly double the normal.

Does someone know what airline that was?
Possibly British airways
@@Attomicc076 its not. Its jota aviation
DID SOMEONE Know WHICH AIRLINE AND AIRCRAFT IT WAS
The aircraft was a Bae 146 not sure which airline...Could be British Airways?
Hmmm. Back then it may well have been Flybe. British Airways were not operating this plane on regional routes.
Swiss had the rj version with glasscockpit and the mcp from the 737

The FMC is there its on the First Officers side of the center pedestal. Its called an GNS-XLS FMS unit.

Beautiful!
There is an outdoor pool now which is open in summer in the docks next to the airport so there are amazing views that I can literally cycle to
Excelente.
So. Awesome.
Impressive!
The approach looked way too high.
Plant Seed the PAPIs are 2 red 2 white, it’s a perfect approach for LCY
Glide slope for London is 5.5°, almost twice the "standard" glideslope of 3°
And just over the dome at 11 O'clock sits EGLL London Heathrow. I love taking off from EGLC London City airport and going the dome to Heathrow, nice practice

It would have been nice to see the instrument panel, e.g. the rate of descent. Too much zooming and shaking!

You don't know about London City Airport, do you?
LCY is a 6 degrees nose down approach. One of the steepest I believe.

Hard landing.
Scorpion Shaft the right style, Look at the Short runway. The BAE 146 has no thrust reverse.
@@enterIT-xl8cc How is it related to hard landing ?
