Airbus A320 cockpit Landing rwy 27 GIB LXGB GB Airways 

great vid, a rare footage. superb!

Hi pilots tend to use the "bird" (FPV flight path vector) only once visual with the flight directors off . The bird as it is referred to makes setting a three degree profile. Alternatively distance to go multiplied by 3 plus airfield elevation and rate of descent is another way. The Track line on the ND (Nav display) allows easy compensation for changing wind which is particularly useful in GIB which has some unusual wind anomalies. Try google images for flight path vector. Hope this helps.

A visual approach to runway 09 is the most fun. The approach is flown on a right base from the south flying into the bay heading north. The airport is obscured by the "Rock" for most of the approach.

PERFECT landing!

Thanks, nice having a video to a full stop. But then that's Gib for you. I can't think of anywhere else with a shorter taxi time.

OMG !!! It's like in a no man's land but so groovy !!!! i like these kind of places on Earth.

Excellent Landing at a challanging Airport but an amazing Airport to fly into and out of I prefer the runway 27 approaches compared to the runway 9 approaches.

0:01 you see a cruise ship :P and its a very good landing :D

Great job !

excellent video.

The winds at Gibraltar Airport are very unpredictable, I've studied these charts carefully and no pilot gets the same approach twice. Another factor is the pilots have so many 'No Fly Zones' in LXGB airspace so they have a lot of factors to consider.

Innsbruck, Gibraltar and Funchal Maderia are all very extreme airports, winds turbulance and obstacles.

excellent description...:-D

Nice view of the rock.

Intresting to see some of the runways IRL that i've landed on in FSX.

@youairhead999 Thats one of my favorite sounds!

Nice Landing and video Before intercepting Glipe Slope (G/S), should the plane be in configuration 3 or 4?

Basically what it means is to flare (raise the nose right before touchdown)

Do you guys use TRK/FPA when coming in to land to help with the 3 deg G/S? I know when you are at Point Y you need to be at 920 feet, is that right?

Yeah but he was a bit late with the thrust

They are a warning that you'll end up in the water if you go past.

What is your question?

That's the auto pilot disconnect warning.

from 1:30 - speedbrakes?

whats the noise at 1:09?

@FerretsRULE100 An who "names" airports #1, #2 #3 etc. most "extreme" airport? What a load of tosh.
