Airbus A321 landing in Stormy GENEVA (Cockpit View) 

I spent quite a lot of time doing the same in FSX back in the days and I loved it as well! Flying it for real is such a reward! Enjoy!

Thanks! Always happy to share!

Thanks mate! 😎

Thanks much for always coming over and checking in the new videos ;)

@@MikeCharlieYankee I absolutely appreciate your videos, keep up the great work! :)

Hi there! Thanks from Greece!

Thanks! Always land focus but with the smile! ;)

@@MikeCharlieYankee any tips sir cuz my dream is to become a pilot one day and I'm in 9th rn..? Where can I contact u?

Thanks for your interesting question! Actually when u get on very short final, even with a small correction of descent path the PAPI tends to change very quickly. In this case as we are flying the ILS we have to be exactly on the glide as it's consider reliable and fully operational. We had a very short discussion about it with my colleague on final but that was just for awareness, we do indeed disregard the PAPI in this case. Sometimes the PAPI lights are indicating a different path angle compared to the instrument approach you are following, a very good example is Heraklion, Greece, where the RNAV is 3.4° and the PAPI at 3.0° in this case if you fly the visual approach you can fly a 3.0° path but if you fly the RNAV procedure until the end the PAPI is gonna be 4 whites! ;)

@@MikeCharlieYankee Thanks for your response. As I am also pursuing my CPL now, I had almost guessed your reply to my question. But still wanted to be sure about it. Cheers and Happy Landings!

We always try to conclude a flight with a safe approach no matter the weather, if it’s not safe we just don’t continue the approach, or worst case scenario we don’t even go, in this case it was not that bad weather but stormy still :)

In this case both, the papi and the ILS were on a 3.0dgr glide path, we are flying the ILS so looking to complete a full IFR approach following the glide information from it. For an unknown reason the Papi lights were not in compliance with the 3.0dgr path on short final. The main subject here is about flying following an IFR procedure or coming for a Visual approach ;)

The PAPI lights are fine, it’s just that at larger airports, PAPI are designed for widebodies. On narrowbodies, the smaller difference between the gear path and the eye-level path means that by design, a two whites / two reds indication will at some point lead you away from the nominal glide path.

Of course we don't fly the red ;)

Full reverse is not necessary for braking efficiency, (only mandatory in some listed conditions) you reduce drastically the cost of operation of the engines if you use reverse idle.

Flaps FULL ;)

Don't really see what you are talking about can you be more precise...
