I think that s pretty cool Sunshine Shoulders Almost 40 years ago right ?

I'm happy you had a great time in Rio. As a Brazilian myself, I can assure you: there is some propaganda, but some reality too. Unfortunately. I have only good things to say about Rio, but some of my friends have gone through bad experiences, such as being mugged or assaulted. But you're right! No wonder why we call it "A cidade maravilhosa" (The wonderful city).

👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

You can't be serious haha, it's a warzone. And i'm brazilian, i have a lot of brazilian fellas who are from Rio, left that place and are never going back, it is LITERALLY a warzone.

not only the most beautiful approach or either the most beautiful city but the most beautiful mountains with beautiful city

That's true! without tailhook, barricade or barrier.

Lol hahaha, that's what it is

Nice airport has entered the chat

Perfect description.

Runway with 1300 meters and the auxiliary 1200.

Me too, I thought, is this a seaplane... Lol

@@craigie13 Hahaha. I have been living in Rio since birth. For the past ~15 years, been working in one of those buildings underneath this video, from where you can follow the whole approach with your eyes. So I knew exactly where the runway was BUUUT I'll admit that I noticed, it will only appear to you at the very end! Also, the right-hand pilot complains somewhat of the vultures in the way. "Opa opa opa -- ... desgraça" i.e. "whoa whoa whoa - ... aw nuts".

Same...🤷🏽‍♀️

Me too lol 😂

I was looking for an aircraft carrier.

Scott Bridge This airport is used for domestic flights, for international flights the Galeão international airport is used with a four-kilometer runway.

Thinking the same... "Like buttah"

Hey

Hi

"Am a big cock." There, fixed it for you.

At least you can go around. And the runway is long enough, you could stop in a much shorter distance. Think of all the safety margins for the landing distance calculations.... In Lukla you really have absolutely no room for error, there you can't just go around.

@@Jet-Pack Well there was a pilot who made it, there's even a video of it, but it didn't look safe at all

Yes. You're right. But consider that in the 40 last years there is ZERO accidents. I have to say, in the last accident, when a plane felt into the Guanabara's Bay (1.972) there were no deaths. If you came to land at Santos Dumont, just enjoy the beauty.

Paul, that's why Santos Dumont airport is nicknamed "aircraft carrier" by Brazilian pilots

Made famous in the James Bond film “Moonraker”.

Yeah, we flew in a small twin-engine Piper Navajo CR back in the mid eigthies, gorgeous approach no matter which way you enter the City, it's just out of this world.

Cape town is better

Vc já esteve no Rio de janeiro ?

What is impressive about this ? This is normal everyday stuff. It would be fitting if you said that aircraft is impressive machinery.

Christ the Redeemer's spirit surely was guiding those pilots

^This MUST be the worlds most accurate comment ever created in history of all time in the universe. MUST SEE FOR YOURSELF (no clickbait!!!111)

Me too!!! :)

Departures, (take off) are also wonderfull.

19.6 km away.

Valeu RP

So they don’t get a billet in their head on the highway to the international airport.

@@Crocs_in_the_gym A billet? Or a bullet? And yeah, the risk is real. As a Brazilian myself, I can tell you that!

This is a terrible place. The only good thing about Rio is actually featured in this video. Otherwise it's a total shit hole. You will definitely be either raped, robbed, kidnapped, or murdered if you're foreign and here long enough.

@@Jeepsteve1982 Sorry to hear this. Thanks for the warning to be careful.

The pilots said: " Oh, oh. Damn birds, there are more ahead. There are a lot more.

MarcosVB thanks!

@@m4rcosvb Was just going to say the same thing. Big birds too! Frigate Birds.

@@m4rcosvb ... I thought that the "Opa, opa!" was an aural birds warning :D (not really)

@@adb012 lol, "opa" is commonly used here as a surprise expression but some people (like me :D) also use it as a greeting

Pede Meyer very true brasil is extremely filthy poor infrastructure bad economy extremely racist I’ve been there twice and I’m over it oh yeah as far as beautiful yes they have them but don’t let that fool you that obesity rate is around the same as you USA very high!!!!

I am an American that has a home in Rio de Janeiro. The crimes make this country Ugly... People rob, murder you in cold blood. I been going there for 20years. It continues to get worse.

@@docwilliams7374 "People rob, murder you in cold blood" And the difference with the US is?

Why don't you stay in Cleveland?

25% of Rio's populations lives in "favelas" (Shanty towns)

You've landed at the galeão international Airport. This landing ocurred at the Santos Dumont regional Airport.

@@JVinholi no, this is Santos Dumont, but have 2 tipes or approach, 02R or 20L. The approach in the video is approach of 02R. The approach passing from the Bridge is the 20L

Yes. 1.300 meters.

OMG YOU'RE HERE

This isn’t the main airport. You land at a different one when coming on a larger carrier.

@@danielgloverpiano7693 , thanks for the info. I'll make sure to switch planes for this view

@@PaliAha you’re most welcome. This airport is very similar to Washington National Airport, as opposed to Dulles. You would have to take a Brazilian airline on a domestic flight to fly in here. That being said, the view from the top of Sugarloaf is just as spectacular and a must if you go to Rio. You take a perilous cable car ride to the top. It’s hard to believe there’s a platform up there with a cafe, etc. But there is. I wish Rio were a safer city. There’s a lot of poverty, which causes street crimes. You have to watch your back at all times, and your wallet. It’s not as safe as Buenos Aires. I hope you can get there some day. Santiago is also a gorgeous city surrounded by mountains.

@@danielgloverpiano7693

Ewww. No

😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Better to stay away, if you decide to still take the risk take security precautions like you're entering a war zone (just don't be mean to people but stay alert at all times)

@@dusanpetrovic1181 hey I'm 19 and haven't been assaulted or presenced an armed one yet, south zone is safer which is the one with touristic stuff, but outside doesn't look pretty, it's city of roughriders, like Escobar's Miami 5x worst, but it can be survivable

Not supposed to have anyway

Actually there is airport is clear at both ends terrain wise, a go around is always available

Yes it is. Only 1300 metres or 4265.092 feet. (Because in aviation everything is in feet). That length is very short for an A320

@@CharlieND Wow! I Googled my local airport, LAG, cos I know their runways are considered dangerously short, and discovered they're 7000 feet. That's still considerably longer than this.

@@CharlieND it's a a319. A320s don't operate at that airport.

Ziggmanster 4341 feet for RWY 02R

It is short, actually.
