flygwada971 Thanks for the compliment. It was a scary ride though, when we hung over the swamps on turn around. Do you know why he chose to fly over the air port ane then turn back over tye swamps? Cheers
CanadianMaster1 I was wondering the same thing in a previous video and I checked the airport charts. In your video, he didn't fly over the airport. He did a so-called left hand downwind. Sometimes, they litteraly fly over the airport (vertical field) and then turn right flying over the swamps, doing a right hand downwind. So there are two ways of entering in the circuit... I guess the ATC give them the 2options and then they decide, but based on what, still a mystery to me...
flygwada971 I saw the air port beneath me before he did that turning, so I think he did. But I tell ya, seeing the swamps close up, as you were turning, is scary. I felt the wings were gonna touch the water as the place hung very low,
CanadianMaster1 if you check @2:38 you can check and see the airport on the left hand side of aircraft and parallel of runway, which is different of flying over airport doing a vertical field then a right hand downwind approach. In your video he came close to airport but didn't fly over it.
@@JustPassingThrough27 The pilots must always land facing wind so they land from west to east in French Guiana. From 2002 to 2019 I was living just after the eastern end of this runway and I rarely saw a plane landing from that side.
Wawww wawww wawww franchement la Guyane je peux attendre pour voyager encore une fois
Pilot prefered passengers confort rather than braking hard, and vacating by 2nd taxiway... Nice filming....
