Calgary - Landing Challenge
CYYC, Calgary International Airport, is the busiest airport in the province of Alberta and the third busiest in Canada, serving over six million passengers per year. It is located 5 miles north-northeast of downtown Calgary and is surrounded by highways, subdivisions, and a few small lakes on open, flat plains. The airport is composed of four runways, including two parallel runways, 17R\/35L and 17L\/35R, which can possibly cause confusion.
The challenge begins with the nose of the Airbus A320neo aimed directly at McDonald lake in the distance on the landing’s base leg. The lake, which is located 5 miles to the northeast of the touchdown point of Runway 17R, is a great visual reference. Closer to the runway, the cloverleaf interchange of Alberta Highway 2 and Alberta Provincial Highway No. 201, is another excellent reference. Turn onto final, keeping the lake, the interchange-and Runway 17L-to the left. Sight the airport tower to the east and downtown Calgary to the west, with Runway 17R between the two, and ease the Airbus gently onto the ground.
