Approach & Landing Leeds Bradford Airport Boeing 737-800 Cockpit View [4K]

Final 10 minutes of the approach and landing at Leeds Bradford Airport in June 2019. The video starts at about 10.000ft altitude, just before entering a nice cloud layer. Therafter you can see us being vectored for the ILS runway 14 at Leeds Bradford Airport. This ILS approach has a 3.5 degree glide path angle and there's a steep upslope hill at 2-3 miles before the runway. Runway 14 has a displaced threshold and the runway has an Landing Distance Available (LDA) of 1802m and a runway width of 46m.
Enjoy the video!

Coming into land over Wharfedale is the best 😀 So scenic

[@raver14]

It's amazing how quickly that beast can come to a stop!

[@AviaView]

It surely does! Initially autobrake and also manual braking, the B737 has good braking performance. Also the upslope helps a bit as well.

[@MetaFootballTV]

Love Leeds runway as it goes uphill.

[@Ymagier]

There's also a big dip in the middle! I've been driven down it before and being in the dip on a runway is the strangest thing

[@julianlloyd-hitt176]

Yes, in one of the two directions!

So nice to see Leeds so green... 2 muns from my door you can see the whole runway ☺️

[@easydrive3662]

This is the runway 14 approach so less urban areas, when landing 32 you pass over the city

[@dantebingham6043]

my town is on the missed approach into EGNM, to loop around to the LBA waypoint for another attempt (RWY 32 side), always love seeing landings here, keep up the good work

I live a town away from here, don’t get to see the approaches but still very cool to go up there to drop off my grandma to go to Bulgaria and to experience the sheer crosswinds whilst walking through the car park. Have done this approach in the flight sim many times, always different and brings a challenge! (By next town I mean wetherby if you know where that is)

[@AviaView]

Landing Leeds is always a little of a challenge, can be even sometimes tricky on a nice summer day. ( And I do know where Wetherby is 😉)

[@captainm8937]

nice👍👍

[@michaelsheridan9659]

Fly into leeds at least twice a year always a bumpy approach, laughing at you grabbing the dash I always grab the seat in front and the kids laugh like mad 👍👍

[@AviaView]

Haha! In Leeds we use more manual braking instead of using the autobrakes all the way as we try to vacate at the first exit. Sometimes you automatically grab the dash 😅 Now you can show your kids pilots do that too 😉

[@michaelsheridan9659]

Already done that hope to be flying again real soon

[@defdave101]

Funny how much lower planes look when they come over my house. This gives a complete perspective.

[@AviaView]

I think the wide-angle of the GoPro gives a height different perspective. It looks closer in real life from the cockpit too.

[@easydrive3662]

Landing runway 14 at LBA as shown in this video tends to be the slightly more tricky approach as the angle or glidslope is steeper due to the chevin hill, plus the landing distance avai is abit less than landing runway 32. It would be far better if they moved back the touchdown zone on runway 32 for extra runway length and if at all possible on runway 14 as well.

[@Haroon13]

I see these planes every day too here I live 😂

[@Bulletguy07]

This clip shows the reason we struggle to get a sunny day here in UK where most of the time we spend under a thick blanket of cloud!

[@markfox1545]

Bulletguy07 - you don't appear to have noticed the 2 months of constant sunshine and high temperatures we've had or else you're mindlessly repeating the cliche about rainy Britain cited by idiot foreigners.

[@Bulletguy07]

@@markfox1545 The past couple of weeks have been warm for sure, but hardly cloud free skies! As an example of what i mean, i used to fly regularly between Switzerland and UK. Only on the rare occasion did i fly during a cloudless day and get a clear view of UK. Think seriously about it.....it's simple logic. We are an island so experience island weather. Switzerland on the other hand is land locked and regularly gets clear blue skies.....even in winter. In fact it's quite easy to get sunburn in winter there if not used to the sun.

[@lucaslee9377]

Is that a 737-800 jet 2 airline?

[@jakubb2132]

Local airport, read it's one of most difficult airports in uk to land as the runway is pretty short and also the strong winds and turbulence that pretty normal there

[@AviaView]

That's true! It can be a bit tricky and also challenging sometimes but I really like flying into LBA.

[@jakubb2132]

@@AviaView who doesn't love a bumpy takeoff and landing, the runway is as bumpy as swiss cheese 😂. Shame the airline I'm moving to work for does not fly there ....

[@easydrive3662]

LBA has a pretty standard length runway for the uk, in fact its actually longer than both bristols and lutons, but the trouble lba has is alot of the time crosswind, a touchdown zone on runway 32 thats at the highest part of the runway and landing 14 the glideslope is a little steeper

[@fattestwhiteguyever757]

Did i see max autobrake? I noticed that those 738's seem to have trouble slowing down/descending at the same time without speedbrakes

[@AviaView]

Yes it was initially set MAX Auto Brake but you see we elected to change it to Auto Brake 3 on final approach. I don't know the exact reason in this video but I think it was either because of the wind or runway condition (dry or wet). Also this aircraft is a Short Field Performance (SFP) aircraft and these aircraft have indeed more trouble of slowing down compared to the regular NG package due to flaps/slat sequencing being different. Shortly it means that the slats are not fully extended until flap lever is set beyond flaps 25. Less drag results in less speed reduction with a SFP aircraft, so you will need the speed brake sometimes.

[@Thursdaym2]

Funny, I hang on to the dash like that when my wife is driving.

Who knows the pilot Cale Choi From your airport. They really need him from Kazakhstan.

Right over my house at about 2000ft👍

[@bluewonder2007]

Do you get brake hot, if vacate at D ?

[@AviaView]

They do get slightly hot, yes. The environmental conditions normally allow them to cool down again within 25 minutes with 2nd detent reverse. Idle reverse can be on or over the limit.

[@bluewonder2007]

@@AviaView Thanks for the reply, I saw most planes prefer vacating at D, but from touch down zone to D is quite short, do you guys often touch down a bit earlier below G/S in order to have a better braking distance ?

[@bluewonder2007]

and why the capt switched Autobrake from MAX back to 3 ? I thought MAX is used for emergency only? or it is a reminder to recheck Autobrake ?

[@Ruiejrnejrjejrjejrj]

Btw that was butter

[@KurtMCox]

What's the spinny thing?

[@AviaView]

That’s the stabiliser trim wheel!

[@KurtMCox]

@@AviaView Why is it spinning? Excuse my lack of knowledge.

[@AviaView]

@@KurtMCox No problem. The stabiliser are those 'small wings' near the tail of the aircraft. The weel is spinning to indicate the movement of the stabiliser when it's being trimmed by the autopilot or ourself. We use the yoke/control column to put the aircraft in a certain flying position but it gives a lot of extra forces on the yoke/control column. By trimming we can remove these forces and keep the airplane flying in that attitude/flying position, for example climbing, descending or level flight. Everytime we or the autopilot trims the stabiliser to remove the force, the wheels will spin. The autopilot does it automatically, as pilots we use those two small switches on the right side of the yoke/control column as you can see in the video. In emergency situations we can do that manually with a small handle on the side of the wheel but that needs quite A LOT of force.

[@KurtMCox]

@@AviaView Very interesting, thanks.

All that scenery is just outside my back door. Back in the 1970s I did the occasional skydive from Leeds Bradford airport. ..DZ was Green Gates Farm about a mile North of the airfield.

Do they ever cross their fingers, when going through cloud, hoping that nothing’s coming the other way? 200mph through fog doesn’t seem very attractive! 😆

We have TCAS (Traffic alert and collision avoidance system) so we can see other aircraft in our area. Also Air Traffic Control is very vigilant as well.
