5,000 feet to the runway in 20 seconds - Space Shuttle Approach

5,000 feet to the runway in 20 seconds - a unique cockpit tape from Space Shuttle Atlantis. Remarkable.

What mission is this?

Anyone who thinks this gives airline pilots permission to “chat” … is mistaken. Did PF benefit from the verbose diatribe or was it deleterious? The sterile rules, in my opinion, for us “lesser” pilots make sense. ps in the above video they even have the “jumpseaters” chatting too ! (something I particularly dislike and prohibit 😂)
