I've been going to Corfu for 22 years now. Love landing there and feeling myself unwind.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It must be a great place for a good vacation.

Never would have thought that watching landings was this interesting 😄

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback! I like to hear that.

[@hailzgeoff]

Great addition to your series. I liked hearing the planning for the landing, first with the two of you in the cockpit, and then with ATC. With aircraft needinig to back-track on the runway before takeoff, it must get very difficult at busy times. Nice smooth landing, btw!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the good feedback. You are correct. The space at the airport is very limited. But ATC is doing a great job in coordinating the inbound and outbound traffic. As pilots, we have to make sure to follow exactly their orders like plan your visual approach with a landing not prior to xxxx .... If it does not work out at the end, we still would be able to discontinue the approach and go around.. But this is something, we really do not want to do.

Da muss ich unbedingt wieder hin. Eine Trauminsel!!!

Danke fürs persönliche Feedback! Ich kenne nur den Flughafen und die Insel aus der Luft. Sieht auf jeden Fall sehr schön dort aus!

Great video, as always. The island looks beautiful and green.

Thanks for the good feedback! I agree, the island looks always very nice.

What a coincidence. Just booked a holiday to Corfu and up popped this video!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Have a great vacation and enjoy the island!

You get high gain pilots and low gain pilots on the stick. It doesn't matter which you are as you end up in the same place. Nice video.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

This is a really good description. Some make more or larger inputs. Other do a little less. The only thing which counts is the result: flying laterally and vertically on the correct track..

CFU ist einer der spannendsten Flughäfen finde ich.

Stimmt, CFU ist spannend. Samos finde ich jedoch noch spannender. Hier ist ein Samos-Anflug: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4LTeGukp75rm68

It was always nice when I landed at the airport. I wish you a great vacation and beautiful weather.

[@ferransimo2994]

Stunning views. You guys are simply amazing and highly qualified pilots. As an avid fan of flight simulation for years, could you tell me which procedure did you follow? Was it an standard VOR approach or an RNAV? As this runway has an offset of 5 degrees or so, and has a non-precision approach procedure according to the charts, how do you manage to keep the aircraft aligned with the axis of the runway? For a safe descend and in order to avoid a hard landing, do you happen to keep a descent rate of 600 fpm or less once you've crossed the runway's threshold ?. Thanks beforehand and keep up the good job!!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and the good feedback! As the description says, it was a visual approach. For the visual approach, we fly a visual pattern and main navigation is in accordance to outside references. Additional help for us is the distance from the threshold which we monitor and crosscheck versus our altitude. Also the PAPI which is located at the runway gives us a good vertical guidance. Additional help for the lateral guidance is a line which we draw with the radial fix info function from the runway along the backcourse of the runway track. The vertical speed is based on the groundspeed. A good formula is GS *5 or GS half. We have to keep the vertical speed until we start the flare. This depends on the aircraft variant and the weight. A good number is 30 feet radio altitude. We cross the threshold on a 3 degree descent at a about 50 feet. So the flare starts shortly after crossing the threshold.

Wieder ein tolles Video! Schnitt und Kameras sind super und es macht einfach Spaß die professionelle Crew und schönen Anflüge zu sehen. Vielen Dank fürs mitnehmen! Könnten Sie auch mal Abflüge Filmen& teilen?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen Dank fürs gute Feedback! Abflüge sind - insbesondere was den Blick nach außen geht - meist relativ langweilig, weil wir mit hoher Steigrate Höhe gewinnen. Trotzdem werde ich den Vorschlag gerne aufgreifen und zukünftig mal den einen oder anderen interessanten Abflug veröffentlichen.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the friendly feedback!

[@kimpong6792]

Lovely video as always. The best out there ! No music, INT comms, everything we like ! :) Out of curiosity, do you need to speak German to be a pilot in your company ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thank you very much for the good feedback! I cannot speak for the company. But as far as I know, English is for sure required and if you are based in Germany some kind of German language skills too. Details can be found in the appropriate job ads.

Korfu hat echt einen wunderschönen Anflug. Ich war im Herbst 2012 einmal dort im Urlaub. Habe den Flughafen allerdings etwas anders in Erinnerung. Damals haben die Maschinen seitwärts geparkt und dann glaube ich bis zu drei nebeneinander. Wisst ihr wann das geändert wurde?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Danke fürs Anschauen! Ich finde auch, dass der Anflug sehr schön ist. Viele tolle Ausblicke. Ich war immer mal wieder in Korfu über die letzten Jahre. Wann genau sich die Parksituation geändert hat, kann ich auch nicht sagen.

[@gefionsvej28]

I have been to Corfu, many times. And I still wonder. Why do they call the runway, "Runway 34". There is only one runway at all. Why not "Runway 1" ?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your comment. The runways are not numbered, like 1, 2, 3 .... They are named by the value you see on the compass when you are with the plane on the runway, pointing with the nose to the end of the runway. Runway 34 means that the compass shows something at about 340 degrees when on the runway. If an airport has a runway 1, it would show 10 degrees. If there are parallel runways, they would we named as 34L and 34R (for left and right). An if there would be a third runway, it would be 34C for center.
