Airbus A320 - Approach and Landing in La Palma - tricky NDB/DME approach (ENG Sub)

An impressive and difficult NDB approach into the old La Palma airport, RWY 01, with its short right turn on short final avoiding terrain, combined with strong wind updrafts near the RWY threshold due to the cliffs... it makes for an interesting landing. (Video monetized by PiotsEye.tv)

[@gusmahn111]

WOW! This is one of if not the best landing and approach that I have seen. Not only the crew was outstanding, but the camera angles, different views, sounds and video editing were also just stunning. So cinematic, I felt like watching a movie. Mad props to the creators of this!

[@rossbrown6641]

stop saying that absurd WOW, matey!

[@Atirav09]

I CANNOT BELIEVE this shot this pre go pro era. Noticed the huge cables duck tapped on PM side and the massive camera on top of the dash, then only could make it out, the video quality and the way the PF explains the whole approach is just beautiful. Thanks!

[@rogerwilcoshirley2270]

Great example of team work and focus. As a private pilot this video makes it clear how nice and helpful it is to have a copilot.

[@jupavero]

I've flown as a passenger to this airport a few times and the approach and landing there are just awesome.

La Palma is the Canary Island to go to if you like volcanoes! The Cumbre Vieja is a ridge, with a fissure atop it, through which individual cones poke their heads. What is awesome is that to get from one side of the island to the other, you drive THROUGH the Cumbre Vieja road tunnel. Just love La Palma!

[@tamaran1]

The "old" La Palma airport is indeed the last built a few years ago since the real old was up on the mountains. Canary Islands enjoy a varied landscape and great climate, from the dry and flat eastern to the green and montanious western islands. Crosswinds and termic bumps make tricky flight conditions for takeoff and landing, and the mountains limit the size of the airfields and also the traffic for long range airplanes. Terrific school for pilots... and sailmen. Anyhow Canarias is the most popular tourist region in Europe in terms of nights spent, being Tenerife and eastern islands the most visited. I see and hope that lessons learned since the deadliest air disaster in Tenerife, more than forty years left, have contributed to a safer flight and better awareness, including automatic air traffic control systems (SACTA in Spanish). Congratulations for this video and to the German people who have the priviledge to fly to Isla Bonita, as it is not easy for me to get a nonstop flight ticket from Madrid.

[@fobypawz418]

I am most impressed by these pilot's skills! this type of landing is definitely requires only the best and most experienced of pilots!

[@rajarams5988]

Awesome.....most tricky landing. The most important parameter is invisible random and wayward..the Wind ! Also the runway profile. This crew I have seen in an earlier video...simply tops ! Cool and professional and on top of the situation.

[@aerodaan]

RNAV 21 in Nantes (LFRS) has the same kind of challenge. 14 degrees off set to avoid the city, visual manoeuvring to finals and landing on a runway with a "broken dogleg" for a profile, going down at the displaced threshold first, going up at the touchdown zone, going down again after, before rising up again.

10:55 co-pilot: "we will make the 180 at the end" tower: "no, make it RIGHT NOW"

[@thomasmann7438]

Tower first told to make 180 at the end and she just confirmed.

[@juanchoserna8391]

@ chris keller. The reason for the 180 turn clearance amendment ( to expedite) is that the controller has to clear one departure & another arrival, so needs the runway cleared as soon as possible ( the arriving traffic has allready been requested to reduce speed ( and informed why)

[@FabioPascuaThePilot]

I don’t speak German, but one thing is for sure…. the wind limit to operate in SPC is 15Kt, not 50Kt, (210°-310°), as the English subtitles state. Someone got lost in translation here… Up in the air since 1989.

Nice Approach and landing and an impressive 180 looked at bit tight though ! Do you think an A321 could have made that turn ?

Interesting question, the runway is a standard width @45m, so if any 321 could, I guess so!
