Welcome to one of my favorite flights in 2023! Join me aboard the KLM Cityhopper Embraer 190 on the famous approach into runway 9 at London City Airport right in the heart of the British capital. London City is known for its features a glideslope of 5.5°, making it almost twice as steep as regular approaches into airports such as Heathrow or Gatwick which is 3°. To achieve this Embraer had to develop a steep approach procedure and have it approved by the regulating authorities. And don't miss out on the parking at the end that includes a sharp turn. Enjoy!
