Ahh I seen this before. Normal approach for that airport :P

[sock]

yep, seen it ltos too, I like that better than Princess Juliana tbh, have to turn onto short finals. Plus the short runway.

[mangle]

One of the videos off that , "Skiathos landing" is equally as scary whilst aboard the plane!

[Assassinator]

Those pilots must be drunk or something lol?

is much better :P right over a beach

[-Soph-]

I'd actually love to live in a house where the planes cross over like that.

[Browney]

Same Soph. Or I'd like to sunbathe on that beach. The wierd thing is to us it seems freaking scary but to the people who live there and see this stuff everyday it's just a normal approach. :P

[Shawnstra]

Lmao if I were the pilot I would crash the plane. Wonder how they do it so accurately.

[Luckyrare]

They could of found some where much better to build an airport? Very low and masked by a mountain. Would love to live near an airport tbh x]

[Describe]

no wonder this isnt the capital!


They should make a better airport, do you think if they people werent leaning down, it'd take them with it - Down that big rocky hill, ouch!

That was a good landing compared to these ones;

o_o jebus chroist

[haz.the.man]

DOOMSBOY i know how they land it so accuaretly, they have loads an dloads of gadges on the istrement pannel, they coulf probbly land a jumbo jet without looking throught the front window :P lol

I know this because i do flying lessons =]

[xxMATTGxx]

o_o jebus chroist

I watched a few mins of it and the 2nd one it shows is fake.

Yeah, it looks like a model of some sorts.

Because their trained? and the 100k salary kinda adds..

[Jordy]

I'd like to sunbathe on that beach.
Lmao, just think how loud it must be for them? 4 large 747 engines about 30 metres above you? :P

None of them are funny at all to be honest. Some of them are off real life crashses where lots of people died. I remember seeing one on Aircrash investigation.

[sock]

they don't get 100k infact for easyjet if your a first officer you get 23k

and doomsboy I think they have ILS there.

What if there was a tall person on that beach :neutral:

Yeh Been There The Runways Very Short FroM what I can Remember

[Yoshimitsui]

It still wouldant get them. Othwewise it wouldant be safe to have the planes land their in the first place.

[Breakfloor]

small runway tbh.

[Antony]

and doomsboy I think they have ILS there.

" Salaries vary according to the type of aircraft you are flying and your experience. Pilots and first officers are paid more for flying jet aircraft than for flying turboprop planes. As an example, with EasyJet the salary of a fully qualified captain is £73,792, and of a first officer with a frozen airline transport pilot's licence (fATPL), £36,445. Ryanair pay an experienced captain up to £100,000 (salary data collected Jan 07). "

:rolleyes:

[Scania]

thats normal believe it or not

[Adam!]

Just found this thread, I know it's rather old but im going to post it anyway.

100% normal approach, as published in charts - Executed very well by the crew.

Nothing wrong, proberbly scary for your adverage passenger.

Special training is required (lasts about 1 year) before pilots are aloud to fly to this airfield, similar to Innsbruck (LOWI) - Plus it adds about 1k onto your monthly wage each time you fly this approach! :D

[Loqo]

lol Thats MAD! I sure aint going their.

[Stephen]

Same airport (beach one) but looks more scary :P

Did i mention that they have to close a main road each time a plane takes off at corfu airport lol?

The runways is 1 m from the fence and the road is another 3 m behind that!

[cocaine]

yeah but thats only because easyjet is a budget airline, you'd probably get close to 100k for say a long distance captain with virgin or ba.

Same at my local airport, controlers have control of the traffic lights for the road behind the runway, which is about 2m from the runway and when an medium/heavy wake aircraft takes off the road has to be closed for the takeoff roll and for 2 minutes after airbourne.

That looks identical to the flight I had which then went into an emergency landing.

But whoever put the video online got it wrong, there wasn't a landing in the video, it was a go around.

[efq]

I fought it was too low, but then you see how the hell they are gonna desend to make the runway...

People shouldnt be allowed that close.. Theyll end up getting sucked in..

Right. Anyway, They are their own risk :P

Sorry for bumping but people like you *REMOVED* me off.

Its brung in on something called FMC - (Flight Management computer) and If not on some approaches, they have about a good few years to train approaches like that anyay.

Sorry but I think you'll find that it's a visual approach so it's hand flown..

Never does an FMC fly you directly into an airport, maybe onto the glide, then use ILS and autoland but meh.....
