Airbus A330 - Approach and Landing in Malé, Maldives (ENG sub)

The now-retired Captain Joe Moser in his earlier days with the old airline LTU. PF is First Officer Stefan Kater. Surely one of the most gorgeous approaches on Earth.

I visited the Maldives last year and I remember when I first saw the turquiose ocean with the tiny islands and atolls, I was mesmerized. 💙 love flying and it is so nice and interesting to see it from the pilots' point of view. Thank you for the amazing video! Respect and many thanks to all the pilots who do such a wonderful job so we are able to reach every corner of the world. 🙏🏻😌

[@Antidote95]

I really miss LTU. Growing up in Düsseldorf, LTU was always giving the feeling they're the 'door' to the world. It felt special to have then based in DUS. A big loss for us.

[@tidenhub71]

Atemberaubende Bilder von dem Atoll. Schön zu sehen und zu hören, wie der Kapitän mit dem Co agiert (inkl. ruhig vorgetragenen Korrekturen für den Co). Top!

[@DreamingofMaldives]

Saw this landscape countless times from my tiny window seat. Always dreamt of seeing it from the cockpit. So : thank you for this moment. WoW.

I once flew to the Maldives (for work) and we landed at night in a rainstorm. It was so strange to be flying lower and lower thru the clouds and then suddenly see the very dark ocean and nothing else until we touched the runway. This daytime landing seemed so nice.

[@ahmedmaison4704]

You're a pilot?

[@dannysalomizxlykik7830]

My country is very bizarre.

[@knust2329]

I always have a hard time understanding the ATCs. They speak so fast and unclear, yet the pilots have no trouble with this. Might be their experience.

[@florichi]

well, if you read into ATC conversations, you know what they will say and understand it more. It's like communication between parents and their little child.

[@adammcveigh]

Yeah you get used to it because you kind of expect what they are going to say. Like there’s maybe 1 of 3 things they may say so you can make out if one of them is said

[@7usam93]

Its like doctors's bad handwriting that pharmacist read at a glance

[@RB747domme]

It's interesting to think, that just 300 years ago the journey from a cold country in Europe to the Maldivian tropics, would have taken three months and favourable winds, at a seasonal opportunity - a journey where vitamin deficiency, navigational errors, doldrums, and death was commonplace - can now be achieved in a matter of hours in relative comfort. That's progress for ya.

9:20 What is there smoking in the background of the captain?

[@ThaiTastic]

Bong

[@Avantime]

It's misting because hot, humid outside air is entering the aircraft for air conditioning, and the air conditioning packs couldn't remove all the moisture while it's being chilled to a comfortable temperature, so that excess moisture condenses into a small "cloud" around the vent.

[@AviationHubOfficial]

[@herenow6953]

I flew into Male in 1986 in a Sri Lankan 737 - and it was literally a runway in the sea back then - like landing on an aircraft carrier! All you could see until you were actually on the runway was water. Beautiful place - wonderful memories!

[@lenny108]

nice video, brilliant camera work. You surely not only brought 250 passengers but also 70 tonnes of cargo for hotel logistics?

[@klaus3794]

LTU IS GONE! I regret that very much because it was one of the best air lines I know. Berlin Air bought them and now they are both out of business - it id not always good to merge. I miss LTD!

[@igorpkparkour1649]

Why is there some smoke behind the capitaine seat ( on his left side behind his arm ) at 9:18 ? Looks highly unusual to have smoke in a cockpit.

[@fingerhorn4]

By current standards this approach was pretty awful. Clearly way too high for the runway. Needing excessive descent with idle thrust would be completely unacceptable today and with fair reason. I get that this was some time ago, but the need for stabilised approaches by 1000 feet does make sense, and there are plenty of accidents in the databases to explain why!

[@amazingman63]

6:35 I'm pretty sure agent 47 is down there murdering 3 people and dressed like a pirate.
