Steep approach over icebergs! Flying the Air Greenland Dash 8 to Aasiaat and Ilulissat

- In this video we fly from Kangerlussuaq to Aasiaat and Ilulissat in the flight deck of the trusty Dash 8-200. See what it's like from the pilot's perspective flying a steep approach (6 degree glideslope) into the very short runway (799 meters) at Aasiaat. The pilots tell us all about what flying in Greenland is like and in the end the scheduled service turns into a sightseeing flight, coming in over Disko Bay and seeing the thousands of enormous icebergs that surround Ilulissat. Then another beautiful steep approach into Ilulissat. An incredible day for flying and an incredible crew to do it with.

Excellent - how nice to have a straight documentary - no extra music, no artificial drama - it's the way!
a Mandalorian couldn't have said it better 'This is the way' :)
The Captain and First Officer make a great team. They can almost read each other's minds.
Its what you want, flying in that environment. Amazing views of those calved bergs.
Indeed!
LOVED the Dash8!! Worked for Us Airways for 34 years and on my first day in 1971 worked a CV580!! BLESSED!!
“Let’s go to sightseeing altitude” (17.25 minutes). “Yeh, that is better!” Classic! Superb video!
One of our favorite moments! Those pilots were so much fun to spend time with.
Priceless!
@@Flightradar24DotCom Also, if I am not mistaken, the first officer is also an seasoned ex danish airforce C-130H pilot with an extensive artic operation background, so good deal of knowledge is crammed into that small flight deck.
I spent a year in Greenland at Thule AFB, spectacular and unusual scenery for someone from Louisiana.
Wow! Did you enjoy your year there?
now that's a steep approach. Great landing
Omg I loved that! My father flew Halifaxes during WWII. He subsequently flew flying boats from Rose Bay in Sydney to Lord Howe Island & sometimes to the Pacific Islands. He then moved to the Fokker 27 & 28. I spent some time on the flight deck as a child .. I’ve been in the Dash 8 a few times & my daughter’s flights to & from boarding school were in the Dash 8. So inspiring to see this so many years later.
your father must be a legend! Respect
Outstanding performance from both Pilots, real professionals and genuine Aviators, spot on job Guys!
Seems like, the CRM in Air Greenland is impeccable.
That first landing was incredible
Unbelievable scenery and what a beautiful journey to take. It beats all the hustle and bustle of continuous commercial aviation. I look forward to the next instalment.
Loving these cockpit videos recently team i dont know why but just find watching these flying videos so therapeutic and relaxing and like the access you get in these planes something us the public dont normally see just find it fascinating flying id love to do it as a job if it wasnt so expensive to do just like the pre flight check lists you have to do and find talking to radio control fascinating to the chatter you do to them must be damn good pay these days to become a pilot but man that view of the icebergs was incredible just shows what our great earth has to offer you have to go out there and find it amazing stuff
If I had to describe the complete opposite of where we live, it would be this video. No icebergs, no snow and not even a heater for the house here. 🌴Enjoyed the content. Thanks.
Lol my Canadian ass wishes😂⛄️🥶
Super Nice flights, comments and more over the filming.
Thanks Gabriel and Air Greenland pilots, Mother Nature is so Beautiful
Indeed.
Nice. The pilot seat cover has seen better days.... :)
That was so cool. The closest I ever came to a gigantic iceberg in real life, was Easter 7 years ago, I was in New Foundland and a gigantic iceberg grounded in a bay close to home. Everybody from all over drove in to see it. The flight approach into St. John's is over the East Coast and there were tons of icebergs in the adjacent waters on the flight path. Can't wait to see your next installment !!
Not seen a 200 with Q400 style glass instruments before. Nice video.
It's an avionics upgrade by Field Aviation using Universal Avionics.
@@ndirangugichuki6260 Ok thanks. Not seen any others on UA-cam.
What a beautiful sight, those pilots love flying up there.
I've seen Greenland from 30,000ft which was beautiful, but this video from 3000ft is just WOW 😃😃😃😃
Looks way more fun than a jet to me.
The flight over the ice ... there are no words to describe the beauty of it. I have ferried many aircraft over their part of the world, I never had something to say .. only it’s sad we going to lose it all one day.
Amazing shots of the iceberg now on my bucket list to fly to Llulissat
if weather permits (clear and calm) don't miss a cruise among the icebergs south of town.
Love the Dash 8's. All of them.
What a great plane that Dash 8 is, and how quick from start rolling to rotate.. Thanks for the video - Ian -UK.
That is some amazing scenery! What a trip! Looking forward to more!
i held my breath on the final
Love it! I used to fly that plane into all of the mountain towns in Colorado for years! Happy to see it has a new life in an amazing part of the world. Challenging environment and a rock solid aircraft. Keep up the great work.
Amazing country. Thanks for this Greenland video series. 👍
👍👍👍
Very cool, what a flight, what a place. Thanks to crew and to Air Greenland for allowing the video.
What a wonderful video. Thank you so much
Breathtakingly beautiful and a perfect plane to fly superb flying crew
Lately I turn on FR24 and Nuuk live cams when I get to work for a break. This was amazing and good timing. Bravo!
🙂🤗
WOW!! What an absolutely amazing video. Such beautiful scenery.
Amazing video! I lived in Ilulissat had a wave of nostalgia watching this! I always wondered what the view from the dash 7/8s landing looked like and you captured it beautifully. And thanks to the very friendly pilots. Looking forward to seeing the helicopter ride.
You lived here? You must have some interesting stories to tell.
Wow! Amazing!!
Dash-8 seems like a fun plane to fly. Great views for sure. Nicely done!
The Dash is awsome to fly on. The Q400 has an invreadible climb after TO but the Q200 will lift the weels in less than 500 m.
You weren’t kidding about the visuals on the second leg, wow! What an approach
Heartfelt thanks for showing us a side of this beautiful world that most of us do not even know exists!
Thank you for a great video it was fun to watch and see the ice bergs 😊😊😊😌😌😌😌😅😅😁
An absolutely incredible video. Thank you so much for producing it.
Thank you for watching! So glad to hear.
That's gotta be the best Pro Pilot's job in the world.
awesome!!
9:00 It is practically a carrier landing 😮 I was surprised it is a paved runway, I guess I was expecting dirt/gravel
Yeah! Greenland does pretty well with having paved runways in many cases, but they are certainly short!
wow amazing views, thumbs up
cheers from Germany
👍
What a great experience! Thx for sharing 👍
Looking forward to the next video really enjoyed watching that
Awesome to be able to fly around with you & hear the pilots stories & see the glaciers and icebergs! A long and winding road I see with each isolated little airport, lol. Thanks! :)
Thank you very much for this impressive Travel Vlog!👍
This is probably the best airplane videos I ever seen 👍
Great work Flightradar24! Well done. Thanks for the beautiful views!
Awesome experience with a great flight crew!
Good job ! Very interesting ! Thanks
Amazing video, narration on point. Your voice adds to the splendor of the scenery. Hats off to you and the flight crew. This was the first video I have seen from you and it is really impressive. Thanks for sharing a sector that most people would never get to see.
Going to Ilulissat is No. 1 on my bucket list.
Beautiful paint job on the aircraft.
These men are living the dream! What a life!
Fantastic, I love the dash 8, flown on a number of them through Canada, it was nice to see SFJ too, I flew in there in June 1971 on board a Wardair 727 from YXE to MAN
Air Greenland pilots you're the best.
Thank you for the video. I am enjoying the nice view especially the icebergs, cheers!
EXTRAORDINARIO VIDEO!!!! Saludos desde Argentina
Gracias Claudio!
What an approach!
Superbly photographed, lovely imagery.
Beautiful video! I loved the magnificent scenery of Greenland. And I love Gabe Leigh as narrator. He sounds very sincere and relaxed.
Thank you!
Hermoso, wow hermoso. Gracias por compartir este hermoso viaje.
What a wonderfully entertaining video, thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting Dapper Dave!
Wow goosebumps... what a beautiful part of the world. Hope to see it one day.
The same as we have in Norway - Dash 8 and steep approaches on short fields, even the PAPI's are tuned to that. Invite yourself to a ride with Widerøe airlines in January - that's when the real thrill is going on...
Yeah! Have flown Widerøe in summer and loved it, but really need to try it in winter!
This I believe you. I am doing now some rides on the Q200 from SATA on the Azores and I love the 200 series. It can bring you in 450 m in the air.
Absolutely beautiful scenery. I live in beautiful, sub-tropical South Africa and of course have never seen an iceberg. However, we do have whales visiting our southern coastline from July to October to breed. Greetings 👋🇿🇦
Awesome film flew over Greenland many times, never seen it this sunny. Enjoyed it. aspirations to visit it one day.
Great video! U guys do a super job!
Beautiful scenery
Awesome video and panoramic views. Great job!
Awesome video! 😀
Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing.
The Mighty Ocho I spent hundreds of flight hours in all the EX Mesa DHC8 that Air Greenland now flies. It is good to know those AC are in capable hands .!!
Very cool!
The Dash 8 is terrific: active noise cancellation and big windows.
Still and allways amazes me. I daily sail among those white giants, and really love it😊
Absolutely stunning. So beautiful.
Yes.🤗
Great shots, great soundtrack, great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks a lot!
Brilliant video...!
This looks absolutely amazing! When is the next part coming?
Next week! Tell your friends 😉
@@Flightradar24DotCom Yaaaaay😄
Breathtaking!
Beautifull and Great aircraft
New subscriber .love your content .thank you 👍
Incredible filming and footage
Awesome!
The best air craft turbo prop, of Worlds
Love that cockpit view. Great job on the film. Dash 8-Q202 is a great performer airplane. You can pretty much take that airplane anywhere. Keep up the good work. Very detailed. Love the high wings. Fly safe!!
Thanks a lot!
Greenland Looks very nice. Xcellent trip report.
Wow! No words!
The Captain´s comments about approaching Greenland beginning @ 15:48 reminded me of a passage from Ernest K Gann´s memoir *Fate Is The Hunter*: ¨There, then, was the enormous mass of Greenland, and I could not look away from it...I had never in all my flying seen anything to compare w/ this fantastic exhibition...In all of the times I later came upon the continent of Greenland, the crew members invariably expressed the same wondrous exhilaration.¨
I wanna go to Greenland!!
wow ... I wish I could have given more thumbs up!
OMG thank you for taking us along with you, that was just absolutely amazing, I love to fly, I have flown south to north and east to west, but just over the U.S, the best place by far I have flown over was the Grand Canyon.
AWESOME! 😎👍✌️
Great series - beautifully filmed!
Why, Why, Why.
Why hasn’t this video more views??
Amazing!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful
Thank you I just subscribed that was a really nice and relaxing video.
WOW,What a ride....
