Boeing 737-800 cockpit view landing at Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) 

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed them! Feel free to share them with your friends if you want!

medhist2006 It depends if you want to know the distance on ground or the lenght of the slope. In either case both values can be easily calculated with some trigonometry: A = height/tan(angle). Here A is the distance on ground in feet, height is the height from which you want to calculate the distance and angle is the glide slope angle (which means the angle at which the plane descends, it usually is of 3 degrees). In this case the ground distance then is: A = 1000 / tan(3) = 19081 feet (or 5797 meters from the runway) If you want to calculate the lenght of the slope, that is the distance from your plane and the runway’s threshold taking into account also vertical deviation, you can use this formula: B = (height^2 + A^2)^(1/2). Here B is the slope lenght in feet, height is the height that your plane is at, A is the ground distance that we just calculated. In this case the slope’s lenght is: B = (1000^2 + 19081^2)^(1/2) = 19107 feet (or 5823 meters). Note: The formula for B can be further simplified into: B = height / sin(angle). Which in this case becomes: B = 1000 / sin(3) = 19107 feet (or 5823 meters). Hope this helps (I also want to point out that I’m not a pilot)

Thank you. Norwegian Air Shuttle.

the boeing 737-800 can land on autopilot even tho this is not standard precedure unless the weather conditions require it. The plane is equipped with a ILS system that captures a signal, that makes the airplane follow a glidepath down towards the runway.

Not all planes can land with autoland,unlike video games,some planes like 737 can be unequipped with autoland system in this case landing that require autoland are handflown by the pilots using an head up display

@@Hk-uw8my Thanks for info. I am so impressed that landings always goes well. I`ve flown a lot and never experienced bad landings or go- arounds, even during severe turbulence.
