COCKPIT VIEW OF APPROACH AND LANDING AT EDINBURGH AIRPORT

[@Bruce-1956]

As a child in the early 1960s I lived close by when it was RAF Turnhouse, spent many a day at the airport asking pilots to look in the cockpit. Always worked with RAF crews, and sometime with civilian aircraft . The Vanguard, Viscounts and other piston engine aircraft used to fly low over my bedroom making the whole house shake

[@MrSvenovitch]

so you inspired this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGOkYmxqrrmKpbM&ab_channel=Movieclips

[@stumpusMaximus]

I lived at Ratho Station opposite. Used to go down to Newbridge Primary and walk to the end of the runway, it was only a couple strands of wire fence - no safety protocols or terrorist issues in the 70s- and watch the comet’s and Trident’s come in and get the jet wash over our heads! All our windows began cracking in Ratho. Putty etc. Remember they bought out the cottages next to the Newbridge primary road, because they were directly over the flight path and all their windows got broken. At 1:11 is where I currently live. Granton Harbour. Cracking shot

[@1346crecy]

Amazing how civilized Scotland looks from the air.

[@adib6318]

What Airline is this

[@rantaviiva5638]

In regard to wide angle lens mentioned below, it produces a beautiful view of the greenery of fields and forests. In the production, it looks like he landing strip is on some man-made, 'risen high-ground'. In reality, that may not be as much raised as it appears in the video.

[@scottwhitley3392]

Edinburgh airport actually sits lower than the surrounding land

[@cartersol38]

It felt like a perfect 3 point, right down the slot! Great job crew.

[@sylviaelse5086]

Only tail-wheel aircraft do 3 point landings. Putting all the wheels of a tricycle aircraft down at once is a serious flying mistake.

[@derekcoates4179]

Wasn't the approach we used to make in the Tiger Moths of the Edinburgh Flying Club back in the late Fifties! Ron Flight was QFI there when I took my first few lessons for PPL (at £5 10s an hour!). That was a month's pay: I was with 43 Squadron RAF, temporarily at Turnhouse while Leuchars runway was being extended. Happy memories!

[@0me0my1]

Nice vid. Thanks for uploading.

[@bettyboop65340]

great landing, good job

[@chrisaddison274]

The camera is set with some magnification. This gives the appearance of fore shortening the view and making it appear 'slow'. Still a great video though.

[@strafrag1]

Excellent. Fun experience. Cheers!

[@colnbowles1625]

Looks like the strip could use some abrasion to get rid of the rubber deposit. US Company, ‘Skidabrader’ are permanently employed on surfaces from civilian and military airfields, to motorway intersections. On airfields they are given a 24 hour shut-down window. Takes a lot of advance planning.

[@vcchannel4191]

The Approach seems to be very high to achieve 2 reds and 2 whites on the PAPI's or am I just getting old ?

[@p.macdermott2490]

@@elmunyon Thanks for your reply. I'm sure if you look back at the video it does not reflect the speed of type of aircraft. TBH when I watched it first I had the sound turned off and I thought it was a hang glider approach. It was much too slow and unsteady. I imagine the camera was on zoom, which exaggerated the PTZ footage. I look forward to watching your other videos.

[@JoseSoto-dz3re]

Obviously yes, the sound is not lying, something wrong is in one tire.

[@patrickfrawley768]

It almost seemed like a very steep approach , sort of like diving down at the last minute. Maybe just an optical illusion, you would have thought a slow steady decline in altitude from further back but as said maybe its just an optical illusion.

[@Mogget5]

The extreme magnification makes it look both slow and steep, and it also makes the runway look short.

[@Nuriil]

is it fake?? why so unstable?? or is it bug busher?

[@elmunyon]

Zainnuril Ahda This is the real view from a cockpit. 99.9% of the cockpit videos are recorder with a wide angle lens providing a more "steady" but not real movement. This was recording with a lens angle matching the eye view, so this is the real vision of a pilot from the cockpit with a non steady approach because of the strong wind.

[@shvlogs4071]

I fly to Edinburgh every year and the approach is always steep. It is very windy there so they like to stay above it then drop beneath it to the runway quick

[@milesaharrison]

That's not true, both approaches (RWY 06 and 24) are standard 3 degree approaches, like is flown in to 95% of airports around the world. It is not steep, but it is always windy.

[@shvlogs4071]

Not true. I have had the PILOT say they do steeper approaches at Edinburgh to get beneath wind.

[@elmunyon]

Beneath wind ????..... Miles Harrison is right. This approach to EDI is a 3 degree glide path. Until this final approach your descent depends on the air traffic controller, nothing to do with the wind.

[@milesaharrison]

What would I know, I'm only an Airbus pilot based in Edinburgh who does that approach perhaps 250 times a year. I'm sorry, but you've obviously misunderstood something.

[@shvlogs4071]

Bet you are.

[@halchesnut3775]

Que pista tan corta!!! Que pasa si de pronto tiene que aterrizar de emergencia un Boeing 777? Los britanicos son tan previsores...que raro...

[@lyokoBSTN]

I'm pretty sure a Boeing 777 would land just fine in an emergency on this runway. It can handle a 777 it has proven already. Also evidence to support this is plenty. EDI's main runway 06/24 has a length of 8386ft Now, we look down south. Cardiff airport in Wales has a single runway, and is a length of 7848ft (So shorter than EDI) And yet, Cardiff is where British Airways regularly do their servicing of their aircraft (Including the Boeing 747) If that's not enough on that, you can again go south more to Exeter airport. Exeter has a runway length of 6811ft (Significantly shorter that Edinburgh and Cardiff) and yet still is capable of handling a 747 landing and taking off from it. Also, you must remember that the UK is rather small in comparison to alot of places. If an aircraft gets into trouble it has plenty of options of runway. Unless the situation requires the flight down as soon as possible. I'm sure they can divert and choose a more optimal runway for their aircraft.

[@SuperAlaska2011]

lyokoBSTN De que estas hablando? Si el avion casi llego al final de la pista!! Y cuales serian las pistas opcionales fuera de Londres? Cuantos pies tiene la pista de Heathrow?

[@lyokoBSTN]

SuperAlaska2011 LHR 09L/24R is 12802ft, while 09R/24L is 12008ft in length. But we're talking an airport that handles a much larger volume of traffic. Now, other airfields with runways above 10000ft include London Gatwick (10879ft) Manchester (10000ft and 10007ft) Birmingham (10013ft) If we were to alter the table though, and say what airfields have runways more than 2000m (6561ft) then we suddenly have alot more fields open for possibilities. Also, to address the whole "Almost reached the end of the runway" thing. The aircraft was ready and able to come to a complete stop halfway down the runway, they carried a little extra speed to get them to the exit taxiway. The camera they are using to record seems to force perspective quite drastically here. they exited off about 3/4 of the way down the runway. But you have a fair chunk of extra distance down past the runway threshold before reaching the next taxiway.

[@SuperAlaska2011]

lyokoBSTN I understand...Wow! you have a lot of information! Where did you take from all these figures? Actually, I didn't like the way they filmed it. May be it's true, I feel a great distortion in the perspective, makes me dizzy. Well...by the way, which is the lenght of the runway in Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv?

[@lyokoBSTN]

SuperAlaska2011 The video almost looks as if it's on a permanent zoom or somehing like it. As for where I get my information, I just do a little internet digging honestly. Most information you could want on an airfield you can find somewhere. Helps if you wanna go flying. As for your request there. TLV has 3 runways of different lengths 03/21 is shortest at 9094ft 08/26 is the longest at 13327ft but is called the quiet runway. It's primarily used for takeoffs mostly, and the aircraft reduce noise pollution for surrounding residents. 12/30 is the Main runway, and is 10210ft in length. Having recently been closed from 2011 to 2014 to allow for 03/21 to be lengthened from 5840ft to it's current length. This means TLV has 3 runways fully capable of handling most air traffic now.

For those who have never been to Edinburgh, the airport is a considerable distance from the city - about a 30-45 minute ride. I was lucky enough to have friends in Falkirk who put me up for the evening before catching the train into Waverly Station the next morning. After 3 days in the city = Inverness. ScotRail was marvelous. I had an 8-day anytime on/off pass (excepting Peak commuter hours) and loved every moment. Then, a three day car excursion from my friends from Inverness southward back to Falkirk. The two days in Stornoway and the wonderful time in Skye was one of my most favorite times.

[@lorddaver1935]

+resculptit You haven't travelled much if you think a 30 minute bus ride is "a considerable distance" to a city centre from an airport! (and the bus to Waverley Bridge takes 30 minutes, not 45 minutes.) For most of Europe that would be around the average. And how is travelling to Falkirk (minimum 30-40 minutes by car WEST of Edinburgh Airport) and then travelling by train to Edinburgh the next day (30 minutes minimum) better than simply getting the bus to Edinburgh from the airport???
