4K - Boeing 737-800 windy landing in Karpathos - 60fps

Hi All!
Today a video showing a cockpit view of landing in Greek Island of Karphatos, (AOK/LGKP)
It was quite a windy day, luckily with the winds along the runway centerline. In addition to winds Karpathos is uncontrolled airport with a narrow 30 meter runway.
Fly Safe!

Es macht immer viel Spaß auf Karphatos zu landen. Interessant, wie sich der Wind im Endanflug üblicherweise komplett dreht. Schöne Landung !

Danke!

Wonderful video mate!

So cool, I love this first person videos. One question, I often fly the 737 in the simulator but never landed at ~160kt. Did you have gusts or why did you decide you land at that speed? Thanks!

Heavy airplane because of tankering for the way back, plus adding speed to vref for headwind = high vref speed

The 800 and 900 variants of the 737 are fast on landing. They’re essentially the fastest among their category for speed on final. MD-11s have fast Vapp/Vref too. But other big airlines have normal speeds. The 747 is typically a modest speed. If you’re using the simulator, you would likely not be much lower than the 150s on a landing. You can obtain performance calculators that will provide numbers for fuel, weight, speeds, at cetera. If you are fan of the 737, purchasing a PMDG model would be a real benefit. It is a study level aircraft.

Nice video👍🏻

A little bit hard landing

[@jarzo9259]

better hard than smooth and unsafe

[@737Aviation]

Believe me you dont want to land a 64 ton 737 on short narrow runway on a windy day smoothly, and loose half of the runway ;)
