Here is the video of Paro approach flown by Bhutan’s first female pilot/Captain from Drukair, Royal Bhutan Airlines. The video takes you over head Paro airport before making U-Turn for runway 15 landing.
The crew encounters rain on arrival which makes it even more challenging for the crew to land.
Beautiful landing executed by the Captain at the end.
About Paro airport:
Paro airport is considered as one of the most challenging airport in the world for the commercial jetliners to land.
The airport is located at an altitude of 7364 feet above mean sea level with runway elevation of 7362 feet and 7310 feet respectively for runway 15 and runway 33.
The runway length is 7431 feet ( 2265 meters) and width is about 30 meters which just covers the minimum runway width required by ICAO. ( one factor why Paro is considered one of the most challenging runway to land for the pilots)
Note: All Airbus aircraft are developed based on 45 m wide runways because it reflects the most frequently used runways by Airbus aircraft.
All flight and simulator certification tests linked to directional control on ground are performed on 45 m wide runways.

That’s a scary approach in perfect weather. With rain and fog what a nightmare. Excellent work, very nice landing.

actually this kinda weather is probably preferable. visbility was still okay and when its colder the air is a bit thicker, allowing for slightly slower approach and landing speed. Paro is an insane airport either way, if you cant land blind here in simulator you better of not attempting the real thing.

6:22 to 6:30. GPWS going bonkers. Amazing how she holds it at 200 ft still in a bank, continues descending while simultaneously stabilizing, lining up with Center line and from 100 ft, glides down to a touch down. About time too. I was holding my breath from the 500 ft callout. 😂

@highcountry That may be true in Amurrica, but (this may come as a shock) the rest of the world is not always like the good ole U S of A. Landing at this airport is different. Only a handful of pilots are qualified to land a passenger jet there. Sure, computers play a large part in operating the systems of any modern passenger jet, but landing here requires exceptional flying skills. However, I do understand why pilots don''t like the degree to which computers have taken over.... especially if they are flying Boeing 737s, although with them the problems seem to be mainly just after take-off.... if you see what I mean... y'all. You got something against female pilots by any chance?

Long time I wondered why they take this dangerous route to land, but recently I had had the chance to fly in an airliner-simulator where the instructor showed me that you can´t make steep finals like small propellered aircrafts I use to fly. Airliners need to reduce speed and height softly an so this approaching route is a must.

That's awesome! Hopefully now I can get a higher score in the sim. This one is really hard. I keep banging the plane into the ground right after I clear the mountain to reduce altitude. Looks like she kept further left and kept banking. Seems scary af in VR. I can't imagine that in real life

Gosh, I have tried to land this in MS FS 2020 so many times, in perfect weather conditions. I never even came close to getting a halfway satisfactory landing done. This pilot has exceptional skill. My highest respect for that.

@@h4mmersbald congrats. The thing is, one need's to get the exact moment hooked when to go into the left turn, all the while having the right descent angle and altitude dialed. Problem is you can't really see the ALS - if there is one at all - due to the sharp banking angles from right to left so it's all feel and / or experience.

Quelle maîtrise dans cette difficile approche et avec une "décontraction" qui force l'admiration de ce génial pilote. Je suis impressionné par son talent. Bravo, c'est magnifique.

My highest respect! Landing under such weather conditions (light rain) makes it even more challenging. The approach is visual only. When the plane is finally aligned it is only 600 ft from the threshold. There is no margin for error! Maybe it's good that most passengers aren't aware that at some points the distance to terrain ia not more than 200 ft at a speed of 180 knots...

There is one video of passengers screaming lol. Same rwy 15 approach. This was such a good landing, even tho the flare was a bit floaty, and always noticed they retard the levels bit late in Paro

Wow amazing!! As a flightsim enthusiast I have flown this approach to Paro a gazillion times (on a side note, the flightsim scenery seems to be very consistent with what is seen here). But not even once have I had the courage to try without selecting perfectly clear visibility settings, it is almost 100% hand flying. In this video though you can barely see the surroundings during the super tight U turn between two mountains, followed by negotiating that obstructing cliff seconds before touchdown. I was under the impression that the ATC wouldn't even allow to descent into the valley if the visibility was subpar. I guess the local pilots have perfect situational awareness wired into their heads no matter whether they can see or not🙏

So calm and collected. Extremely professional pilot. Interesting to watch this approach and landing in cloudy, rainy weather - much different to what we usually see with landings at this airport..

excellent approach into paro not an easy airfield, i flew the 757 for aa from 2002 to 2017, this kind of reminds me of the approach into Tegucigalpa as a copilot now currently operating the dreamliners since 2018

Amazing landing and video! I thought pilots land at Paro only when the weather is all clear and winds calm. This Captain has proven that even in cloudy/foggy conditions pilots do attempt to land at Paro, and do it amazingly well. Both the Captain and First Officer were really calm, relaxed and even had time to take a sip of water!! I will look at the video again and make sure I do not blink!!

Basically it has to be VMC. VMC doesn't always mean all clear, but a min visibility and cloud base level is available to do a visual segment landing.
