London City Airport Crosswind Pilot view Landing in the A220 (Cseries) 4K, 2022

Hello everyone, glad to welcome you back to this video of the Swiss a220 noseview landing at London City Airport.
It has been a while. The pandemic brought a halt to our London city operations, and so I got rather excited when I received this flight with one of my favourite captains on the cseries.
We took off early in the morning to arrive around 8 o’clock at our destination. Crosswinds of up to 30 knots made this landing a very challenging one.
Also, this approach requires special training and procedures. For example, it is a six degree approach for both runways, 27 and 09. On the a220, the speedbrakes stay extended at about 30% during the entire approach. Il try to capture that next time I go to city as a wingview video for you guys.
If you guys feel like it, try a similar setup in Microsoft flight simulator on the same runway, you will appreciate this captains job even more when you know how hard it actually is to make it look so effortless and easy.
So I will let you enjoy the landing now, give this video a like and hit the subscribe button if you haven’t already fellas.
There’s more coming in the next few weeks, thank you especially to my patreon supporters, and of course to you, my subscribers.
Let me know in the comments below what you thought of this landing, the a220 and this special steep approach into London!

Always looking forward to read your comments,
Thank you all for watching, and see you in the next video!

From a passenger approach this is the best airport in the UK, if not world. When at home I often see the LCY traffic flying overhead and when a passenger I love it coming in from the east along the Thames from Southend - sometimes I even see my own house out the window! Thanks for sharing.

[@rapturas]

Nice to see my home from the cockpit of a plane 😂

[@arctica5193]

LCY is always something special. Such a steep approach, short runway and unfriendly weather..... it takes really skilled and professional hands to get it done just right. Thx a lot for taking us with you.

[@DigitalNomadOnFIRE]

What do you mean it's sunny at least 2 days a year...

[@dnhug]

Very glad you enjoyed this one. Il try to go to LCY again the next few months, maybe I can catch a beauty like this again for you all. Thank you for watching! Best greetings and also thx for the support!

[@JK-zx3go]

Landed here on Monday night at the tail end of storm Isha. Prior to the landing the pilot announced in a butter smooth Scandi accent that the landing would be "Sporty". It was, on the way down. It was like riding a bike over pave. Very smooth touch down but you could feel him working the rudder hard before the nose wheel hit the tarmac. Embraer 190. I love flying in and out of LCY.

[@tjfSIM]

That landing was textbook. Absolutely beautiful :)

[@dnhug]

Thank you very much!

[@TheUnseenWaffle]

I still can't get over how quick they can stop with the reverse thrust. Absolutely magnificent idea.

[@gregfaris6959]

Now consider that LCY airport was initially designed in conjunction with, and for use by the BAE 146 type quadjet, which does NOT HAVE reverse thrust!

[@marspp]

The reverse thrust is only a relatively small amount of stopping power , it’s the brakes that do the vast majority of the work, even on max reverse. Airliner brakes are hugely powerful and, in conjunction with anti-skid, can stop a plane eye-poppingly quickly.

[@BritishBeachcomber]

As a born and bred Londoner I still think it's a crazy place to build an airport. No chance for a Miracle on the Hudson [Thames] here.

[@gregfaris6959]

@@BritishBeachcomber I think the East London docklands/Canary Wharf airport project was really targeted at financial sector operatives seeking mobility throughout European markets, but that's not the way it has worked out. As a touristic airport, LCY is woefully inadequate, and tourists will never recognize the intrinsic advantages of being a 10 min taxi run from Bank Street.

[@virginiafry9854]

Nice approach, smooth descent and greased landing - nice job!

[@Hot80s]

Seems like the 220 stopped like a car once it was on the ground it looked easy. Those new planes also seem to be screwed together better don’t hear all that trim rattle and semi like other plans when they touch.

[@Npc2000s]

Trim rattling can't be helped, came from galley carts vibrating when planes wheels go over the rwy lights.

[@dplouro]

Last time I flew in a 737 about 8 years ago I was afraid. Everything shaked and rattled in the rear. Luckily I live in Europe and now I only fly Airbus.

[@SgfGustafsson]

It’s a combination of lighter electronic components mounted and a new airplane. There will probably be rattles that develop after years of service.

[@jimboyuk1]

I fly as a passenger on swiss from zurich to lcy usually every 6 weeks. As a PPL myself I never get bored of that flight. Amazing views of the alps on take off from zurich and than spectacular london at city. I particularly love the westerly approach on a clear summers evening when you get the sunset reflecting of the city towers. Never get board of this flight and looking forward to my next one from Zurich next week.

[@garystafford3354]

That was the smoothest landing I've seen on KZbin. Kudos to that pilot or first officer who ever landed that aircraft.

[@boa974]

Especially on this runway! It's challenging cause you have to land it no matter what otherwise it's go around and lost of revenue!

[@corentindockx]

@@boa974 like any other runway? 😅 you have to land it I mean..

Fascinating! Thank you for continuing the videos with your family responsibilities. Yes, the captain made it look easy. All of the great athletes and opera singers make their work look easy too - that is the mark of excellence in one’s profession.

[@anacarpenter9254]

Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 thank you for the opportunity to join you from your perspective. My adrenaline felt dare I say heightened orgasmic. The approach to the airport was like a needle in a haystack. A sense of admiration safe landing by a truly remarkable team of professionals.

[@wewillrockyou1986]

Solid flying. Didn't realise they added the new taxiway and got rid of the backtrack! Looks like a lot of new ramp space too.

[@BenLovejoy]

The backtrack is still there when landing in the opposite (much more common) direction

I flew out from London City Airport just once, to fly to my family in Dundee. I always remember the landing on Dundee's small strip next to the River Tay, but it's been great to watch the approach to City from the cockpit. I lived a few minutes away from London City so thanks for bringing back some great experiences and memories. Power to you!

[@Aprilsraven629]

Wow that's one landing strip not for the faint hearted, water on both sides and a bridge to navigate...nice landing

[@jhonnyfolhas]

that was very nice and different taxi too. i worked has an operation officer in Lisbon airport and honestly i never saw this method of taxi. normally planes taxi nose front to the gates and then to go back to taxi lane to depart, we use push-backs trucks to do it. so this basically eliminates the push-backs.

[@502Aviation]

Impressive performance of both the flight crew and the aircraft. I have flown as a passenger several times into Chicago Midway airport, where the landings are always firm and braking is very intense due to the 6,500ft runways. Lol I can't even hold a camera still with the forces pulling me forward. I can only imagine what London City is like, considering you touched down firmly, braked hard, and didn't even use the entire runway length. The A220 shows here to be a plane with impressive capabilities!

[@donepearce]

You would have thought that all commercial jets would have Gopro mounts by by now. No need to hand-hold - and a very useful supplement to the Black box.

[@StonyRC]

You guys make it look effortless - and it's NOT! Good work - always makes me want to applaud.

Incredable video. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@khangvutien2538]

Excellent intro. The tone of the voice made me stay despite nothing was happening. OMG, an approach slope of 6deg? With my Mooney Ovation I already find steep the 4.5 deg of Chambéry in France. Also, the idea of info overlays on the bottom left screen is nice. Maybe next time you could add the air speed? It’s probably an important factor with a short runway? Finally, good that you resisted the temptation to accelerate or decelerate the playback speed. Kudos.

[@fancy39]

Wow! Impressive!!

[@pops2728]

Beautiful landing. I watched the first landing of a Dash 7 here to test it's suitability for an airport. All the warehouses had been demolished and it was just a concrete slab. Then watched it grow into what it is now.

I have spent many happy hours on the flyover there with my camera over the years. You just get an unparalleled degree of access. Unfortunately, I've not been back since they built the new taxiway. Always remarkable to imagine how this was all one of the most famous dock complexes in the world, pre-containerisation. Great video, thank you. Super quality, especially the journey to the apron. Oh, and just to mention that the last time I flew into LCY I had my first ever go-round. I got it on video and could see we were within the threshold markings and the wheels had made contact, but then we were up and away again. Probably, as a result of a direction from ATC.
