LOWI Innsbruck RWY26 Special LOC/DME East Approach

[@JoyoSnooze]

This has to be one of the most beautiful airports to fly into and out of. Just look at that scenery.. Great video.

[@antfitz86]

Thanks

[@fluke9]

Austrian Airline sometimes did a so called "Aussichtsrunde" into LOWI when the weather and the captain where in a good mood, they came in between the mountains and did some banks in the valleys while playing the Wiener Walzer. Miss that Dash 8, such a nice plane.

Nervous passengers, on night flights, might wish to avoid choosing a window seat - even if, with the mountains covered with snow, the views are quite magical.

Toller Anflug

[@AirportPlanesSky828]

Great video . On the final approach descent did you use vertical speed or there s another way for the loc east 26 ?

[@komandierPy]

nice video friend..

X plane 9 demo airport nostalgia

[@toosas]

so we just had a landfing in a 737 where they came in from the same direction as you but then kept the airport on the right, went past it, made a 180 turn around at low altitude and landed from the other idrection. The banking at low altitude - I almost crapped my pants. Why was it landing like that if they normally land from the other side then they come over normally from that side and dont do these insane turns in between mountains

[@danielgenis3253]

Simple reason: the Wind. Planes want to land into the wind to reduce landing distance (and reduce speed over ground).

[@toosas]

@@danielgenis3253 I understand your explanation for their reasoning, but we landed there a fair few times and they normally land in that direction but without this pirouetting around (UK to Innsbruck, come in from the west, land eastwards). Could it be that they did not have the wind direction coming in? it takes longer and uses more fuel surely? Also who wants to make an already tricky landing even trickier? If you have wind info just plan to do a normal landing like they always do west to east and done, not west to north (Germany), to south (into Austria), allign east to west for landing then go around and land west to east as normal. Even the resort reps were a bit shocked and they see these planes land every week

[@UKVSteve]

@@toosas it's because Innsbruck doesn't actually have an "active" runway - it uses both 08 and 26 depending on the winds which change rapidly. Couple that with spacing of air (and ground) traffic in the vicinity, you can easily have aircraft landing in both directions (although separated appropriately) to keep things flowing. If a visual approach is possible with the current weather conditions, it makes sense to allow for it - and the pilots love the challenge. Not sure about the passengers though...

[@edwardarckless3112]

Sorry but I do not understand in what language that they are comeing in to land. Edward Arckless

[@yoshanetubetv5791]

Does that runway have an ILS? Or is it just LOC 26

[@antfitz86]

Hi, it's a LOC for runway 26

[@fastfreddy19641]

Why Gersey and not golf?

[@Hi-mt3lp]

Jersey is the call sign for Flybe.

[@DJ99777]

What language are the pilots speaking ?

[@LuciferMorningstarDanny]

The other pilots were speaking Austrian, these pilots are English .

[@schokojojo]

Why did you get 2 landing clearances?

[@antfitz86]

I think the controller simply wanted to double-check she had cleared us to land. Maybe hadn't marked it off on the strip.

[@oliwier2292]

It's Boeing 737?

[@antfitz86]

Dash 8-400

[@RostislavBycek]

good job

[@antfitz86]
