I’ve made that approach lots of times as a passenger, it’s a gorgeous view of the ocean and rivers, never gets old flying into Coolangatta. Great vid, thanks 👍
🎉 WoW 🎉 A most Outstanding Approach & Landing 🎉 Excellent View of the Glorious Ocean & Coastline 🌊 Excellent Calm Pilot Interaction with their Vital Check ✅ List to ensure a safe, smooth & successful transition to landing at Coolangatta Airport (Gold Coast Australia 🦘). Thank You for your valued time in sharing a most enjoyed video.
Nice landing BUT...Much more fun back in the day.. 320-330Kts on the downwind at 1500ft, turn base aiming for the Currumbin inlet and landing on a much shorter runway than it is now.. 767 was a great machine...😆
Ahhhhhh, the good ole days!! I flew the B767 for Royal Brunei, back in the day!! Haha and we could make those approaches you speak of. Lots of fun!! Now you’d lose your licence unfortunately. Everything is recorded, flagged and reported.
@@we2love2travel24 Yeah...not too much of that ''pilot sh$t' going on any more...😆 I was with Qantas and these fun bits of flying were usually reviewed and banned after a Senior Checky managed to royally stuff one up...🤣
wasnt that long ago, i remeber being allowed in the cockpit on approach here in australia... Well I try to prrtend and tell myself it wasnt that long ago... 😭
Beauty little airport, used Collangatta many times from CHC to NRT in Japan, so easy to use airport staff a extremely helpful, unlike other OZ airports
Setting on main beach on the Goldie watch the plane's head towards Coolangatta always made me wonder where each one just flown from,,good to hitch a ride through this video
Is this Scoot 787? there'd only 2 airlines that go into YBCG that operate the 787 which is JetStar and scoot. by looking at the engine indicator thing you can see there is three which determines it has the RR engines, JetStar doesn't have that (they have the GE engines) so I'm assuming it's scoot airlines?
At 4:06 there's the R/A "5" callout, then at 4:09 you select idle reverse, then the aircraft appears to touch down at 4:12. Is it SOP to select idle reverse while technically still airborne?
Hey there. No, the main gear does touch before I reach for the reversers. The proof is with the speed-brake lever deploying just after the main wheels touch. Look for it deploying on the left side of my right hand just before I reach for the reversers.
Hi Steven, thanks for your comment mate. If you watch my right hand around the 4:30 point in this video, you will notice that I do stow the reversers before 70 knots and I only used idle reverse which is a lot better for the engines which are super expensive.
See if you can work it out 😉 it doesnt have a side stick, the GPWS callouts dont say Retard, 😉 the side window is pretty unique and the colours give it away.
Ever see any aliens? I will never forget I was looking out the window and saw another plane pass about 1km away at minus 2000 feet to us, in opposite direction
I wouldn't want to be living in any of those house directly beneath the plane as it approaches the runway. If the plane stalls or something goes wrong, you're toast
You could say that for most airports, though. 🙂The south-east approach to R32 passes over Tweed Heads, so there's no completely clear approach for OOL. Currumbin hill on the north side is unfortunate too. At least the approach from the ocean for Brisbane and Sydney airports is mostly over water.
