Guys! Just to clarify, he mentioned that this was a simulator in a comment and pinned it! He forgot to put in title! Stop going crazy people. Oh, he did not pin it but he did type the comment though.
Probably the first time for the pilot. The first officer was telling him everything to watch out for including the checkerboard. Started his right turn a little late though.
Blimey! What's with the negative comments - are you guys better than Chuck Yeager? Great job Ken! You managed to fly one of the most (former) difficult approaches in the world and land the B737 safely within the touchdown zone. Well done!
This is obviously a young guy training who has never looked at REAL footage of landings at Kai Tak, otherwise he’d have known which way to turn on the taxiway to head to the terminal......great fun though....
Awesome job kid. Right back onto the glide slope. That takes skills dude. That's what the pilots had to endure when flying into Kai Tak. I never had the experience, but damn I know it was awesome. 👍👍
This video didn't do justice. I lived outside the Kowloon wall city in one of those 4-story building less than one mile from the airport in 1963. A cockpit view would have shown the Pan AM 747 headed straight to the north Flag mountain and turned right 90 degree at the checkerboard time 2.17, and crabbing down onto the runway. Years later I was working as an ME in Being Everett factory on 747-8, 777, 787.
actually if the guy in the right seat hadn't interfered telling the flying guy to extend his turn, the guy would have been right on the centerline. I tell the guy in the right seat to shut up and also take his hands off the trust levers.....
Looks like a fun flight sim. Kai Tak closed for good in 1998, and is now a high tech cruise terminal. Other than that Chinese 747 over running the runway into the water, there was never an accident there.
This is nothing more than a flight simulator and the guy landing it is a civilian getting to see what it's like trying to land an airliner at Kai Tec airport... The actual pilot is seen moving the levers back to slow down the aircraft....
Oh, may be I did not get it clarified clearly. I am not a pilot. It is just a virtual flight experience in a training center. I just eventually got a gift and go to have a about one hour experience of this. It is not real😓
Even as a passenger landing there was an incredible experience, quite frightening how close the plane had to fly to the buildings. Unfortunately the simulator didn’t seem to show that sort of detail.
Man. Dude was off. But he pulled back to the glide approach dead on. Now if you hate on the guy because he was off to the left. Then you need to check out the RU-vid video of Kai. Tak. Hard landing with the he 747-400 caught in a right cross wind. And dude was able to pull the plane guide approach. You had to have the balls if steal to land at Kai Tak.
I was a passenger in a plane that landed there in 1973, I’ll never forget it! I don’t think that the simulator portrayed what it was really like at all.
First, it is absolutely wrong for the PNF that control the power when PF is doing the flying. Second, that instructor should have called a go around and not continue to land with the aircraft so much off the centreline. Third, that hard left rudder after landing for correction is extremely dangerous. Final, Kai Tak airport should never be a gaming practice for non professionals.
What was that bad! - flown too restlessly + too high, then flown the curve too far and fell like a stone on the final approach. They weren't real pilots
Same :P I saw a comment from a former Tower Controller that you need to start turning slightly to the left before the end of the vector, rather than sticking to it until the right turn. This gives more space.
I've spoken to some ex-pilots who flew into VHHH and also a familiar with FSX - and they reckoned it was harder on the sim!! Maybe he was joking. I'm familiar with this IGS approach but have not tried it on this sort of simulator though. Good attempt
Gégé La : when I was learning to fly, I found Microsoft simulator tougher than the real thing, in that it was more difficult to look out the side windows. I went on to own a Cessna 172 and enjoy it for many years.
whos actually flying the plane? both pilots have their hands all over everything. all of asia needs to go back a flight school in the USA and get some training.
