Obviously a very inferior airline to be denied access to the terminal. Parking out there would be such fun for the passengers I've landed at Antigua some twenty times and always at the terminal!!
The Global 6000 is not an airliner but a biz jet. Our passengers are being picked up by the aircraft and driven to a remote VIP terminal with easy immigration, security screening and luxurious lounges. But hey, happy you enjoy the hassle of a regular airport terminal.
Awesome video. With regards to the 6° GS, do you have to ride the speedbrakes down to near the ground? Or full flaps and gear down when starting on the GS? I'm inquisitive to know how you keep the speed low on a 6° GS!
Hi. Yes the airplane needs to be fully configured before intercepting the GS. Speedbrakes are occasionally required, but not for the full approach. In London City you'll need speedbrakes until landing.
Thank you for your kind comment. My advice to all student pilots is to begin their careers with an airline and once experienced try to find a job in corporate aviation. To get a job in corporate aviation as a beginner is very difficult as many of the aircraft owners want experienced crews on their planes. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your comment. The final segment of the approach ends about 5.8 miles from the touchdown zone. From there you can shallow the approach angle from 6° to 3° and you are expected NOT to pass over the hospital. The Localizer is also 6.5° offset towards the runway so you'll have to align the aircraft. All of this is much easier hand flown....and yes, it's nice to practise basic skills regularly.
I am not pilot but I think you landed crooked on the runway. The first wheel of the plane is supposed to be on the dotted line of the runway from what I understand.
Hi. You are correct that on this landing I was not perfectly aligned with the runway centerline. I see 2 possible why this happened: - strong winds that changes directions at low altitude - if I correct too much using the ailerons I risk to touch the runway with the wingtip (swept wing) But I could have done it better.
@@bizman_Globalpilot thank you for the response and further explaining to me. I am still in school and want to be a pilot when I grow up. I have been studying a lot of videos and things. Thank you again.
@@bizman_Globalpilot OK I just like to see Final approach at night with lights etc. BTW as a pilot how would your rate BGI.. runway taxiway etc? Do you like like new improvements??
Hi and thank you for your nice comment. I am sure you'll understand that I cannot publish our registration in the internet. To maintain a maximum of discretion I even post my videos sometimes weeks or months after the flight. I know that your intentions are good, but there are unfortunately other people out there too.
