Lukla landing - cockpit view

[@dustinkeller2215]

Such a crazy approach. I am a pilot myself and i felt goosebumps by watching this. You literally fly towards a wall of mountains, you have to fly an increased approach speed because of the altitude and you know at a certain point, that the landing has to be made no matter what, no chance to initiate a safe go around a few miles from the treshhold, crazy. 100% respect.

[@DW-ft3sd]

A guy on Reddit posted this and this is one of the very best Lukla landing vids I've seen. No drama, no ego, just "here we are and here we go."

[@alexandrugheorghiu3439]

"This is a cargo flight with beer and noodles, yeah, they don't clap" :)) Made my day haha

[@johnmeye]

Mine too🤣

I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me

[@tracebrentley8029]

@Leonidas Heath instablaster ;)

[@leonidasheath438]

@Trace Brentley Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@leonidasheath438]

@Trace Brentley it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@Flyingzypher]

This has to be one of the best landing videos on Lukla in this platform. Finally, a real pilot sharing his experience and calmly going through the process of flying to this airport. With so many bogus videos on Lukla around on KZbin, it's refreshing to find one that's not. It's almost criminal that KZbin does not promote this as often. Please make a follow on video dispelling the mythical status of flying there and bring some sanity to this discussion.

[@JimboBurgess]

Thanks, I appreciate your kind words 🤠

[@SN57ONE]

It probably depends on your algorithm. Do you frequently watch Flight Simulators? Because if that's the case then I get the impression as to why you said there's lots of bogus landing videos on KZbin.

[@Flyingzypher]

@@SN57ONE I watch both, and it's not that there aren't any good ones out there, but the majority of them sensationalize the experience unnecessarily. Providing false information to create drama where there's none. This is one of those rare ones that describe it as it is.

[@OrionRox]

Came from 74 Gear's channel. Thank you sir! This is by far the most detailed explanation of landing in the Lukla, amazing job. Keep going and fly safe!

[@JimboBurgess]

Thanks very much, appreciate the kind words!

[@MatijaErceg]

Your narration and visual markup is absolutely superb

[@JimboBurgess]

Thanks, appreciate it 👍

[@johnmatthew5392]

He is not narrating, it seems to be outsourced 😂

[@vynderma]

I flew in to Lukla in 1983. Even more thrilling was the take off as the plane dropped a bit after it left the runway. I could see the remains of planes that had crashed in the valley below. I met Hillary in Kumjung where he was building a school and joked about the crashed planes I saw. I didn’t know that his wife and daughter perished there a few years earlier.

[@sailaab]

🥺🙂

[@davidmacpherson8710]

I flew into Lukla in 1979 and there were the remains of three aircraft.

[@davidmacpherson8710]

Small correction. Hillary's wife Louise and his youngest daughter Belinda were killed in a plane crash less than a mile after taking off from Kathmandu on the way to Phaplu. The NZ pilot was reckless and failed to do a pre-flight. Tragic.

[@gregbernstein6430]

Flew into Lukla 1999

[@matsskog3583]

One of the best Lukla-films I,ve seen!

[@JK-tj6ie]

Lukla isn't just a simple landing, it's a life changing decision

[@PorkChopJones]

The view through the cockpit windows is so very surreal like going back in space and time with it's breath taking views. Many people are seeing this for the first time as I am. This is stunning!

[@spikespa5208]

Interesting that the runway is so small it's hidden by the canopy post until the last moment. Fantastic video.

[@raydearie9805]

came here from your comment on 74gear great videos jim! "beer and noodles dont clap" :D

[@tomhutchins7495]

That's quite a runway: pilot makes it look easy here but I bet it's anything but. From the look of that cliff ahead a go-around must be quite a hair-raising proposal. But what amazing scenery.

[@sailaab]

True that

[@keithmoore8429]

Excellent! Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

[@CyberSystemOverload]

Fantastic vid! Just discovered your channel thanks to the YT algorithm which for once did something right. Thank YOU for NOT using music, no really thank you for not doing that! So many other aviation vids wrecked with music. Great narration, and of course your professionalism makes this whole thing look easy but we well know its not. Subbed!

[@donnyazoff980]

I think this is the best aircraft video I have ever seen. The narrative was so interesting and informative, thank you very much for posting!!!

[@robertleewhitt6241]

That was a nice full stall landing you could hear the stall warning horn going off at the perfect time very good !

[@aumkarsatavase454]

What an amazing flight with such great narration sir!

[@tjgwynn5942]

My husband is a charter pilot in Canada who has flown all over western Canada in to some remote places in the Rockies & I thought that was tricky! This is amazing & well narrated! Amazing view! I will pass on a trip to Lukla - I don’t enjoy flying all that much!

[@sailaab]

Haha😊 oh but you must (try).. you'd enjoy. (ummm.. let sir not be in the crew and have him accompany you as a passenger. So that ALL of you/family can cherish it). Else him flying you in the Rockies or here in South Asia... might lead to taunting or teasing.. should it not go 100% as expected. . . Yes, I too am a lot nervous whenever a near dear one is on a flight or I myself have to...

[@sky173]

This is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing this incredible experience. It's my dream to visit here one day. Thanks for sharing.

[@terryc47]

Thankyou Jimbo. Certainly impressive scenery. Love the cockpit views in full screen on TV

[@Huddison]

Wonderful to see this landing in RL; one of my all time favourite airports in MSFS 2020!

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

MSFS is too easy real life harder!

[@sailaab]

Sorrowful sheep 😅👍🏼👌🏽

[@professorsogol5824]

I flew into and out of Lula in the early '80s in a Twin Otter. The strip was gravel then, and the door between the passenger section and the flight deck was open. it was almost as exciting as landing in Ketchikan Alaska in a Truman Goose before the airport was built; we landed on the water, sploosh!

[@slavistoyanov432]

'Landed' here after some unfortunate crash video at Lukla in 2019. Glad to see you made it safely.

[@alexanderwingeskog758]

Same here...

[@tyrionlannister6769]

Nice work Jimbo describing the flight & approach. That Eeen-Zeed Eeeekscent...!

[@michaelstanley6947]

That's a really great vid. Excellent narration and highlighting of the instruments etc. thanks!

[@hakan737]

I know how is dangerous to land and takeoff from Lukla but when I watch a landing from cockpit, still I am keeping my breath!...you are the choosen one as pilots...Hats off to all of you...have a safe takeoff and landing.

[@sapodesorte5355]

A wonderful flight commentary for a remote part of the planet. A place that seems to make you want to now visit one day!

[@richardcatalinajr.369]

Spectacular. Great job! The narration was educating, for sure.

[@CreatorMusicTV]

Absolutely great video, I'm privileged to have been to Nepal a number of times, have extended family there. It's a truly amazing country with equally amazing people. I really loved your detailed video, thank you.

[@1921ewpeter]

This landing is awesome cool ! What a great pilot ! I watched the video now 3 times in 2 days. Thank you very much !

[@bigsky1970]

I've seen a handful of videos on landing at Lukla and yours stands out as the best one. You make it look easy, but I am sure it's challenging every time for you making that trip. Hats off to you and safe travels, sir!

[@terrythekittieful]

Well done Jimbo. Trust an Aussie to get us all down safely. Have been watching lots of Lukla videos (landings, takeoffs and accidents) during this bloody Covid pandemic, but this might well be the best of the lot. Excellent coverage and commentary.

[@JimboBurgess]

Cheers mate, appreciate it! I'm from the East Island 😁🇳🇿👍

[@terrythekittieful]

@@JimboBurgess Ha!, Ha!, I couldn't detect a Kiwi accent, so I assumed,...apologies.

[@ChrisM541]

What a fantastic, unique video! Huge thanks for taking us along, and yeah, that turnaround time is certainly short!

[@afrock1000]

Great video and as mentioned by other great narration. Would like to see this with an offset camera so that the center windshield post on this machine is not blocking the view on final. All the best.

[@kilicsami]

Came from Kelsey video from your comment... nice one captain 👊🏻

[@chilarai1]

What a fantastic job you have! Kudos and thanks for you great flight videos.

[@dustyjoe71]

Love the narration, from the technical to the philosophical. I gave it a go on MSFS, easy settings of course.

[@adityasundar324]

I absolutely love the local flights in Nepal. It involves a lot of skill and experience to handle aircrafts in high altitudes surrounded by even higher mountains.

[@williamaylmer2194]

Enjoyed that thanks. My local DZ, Irish Parachute Club operates a PAC 750 the past few seasons. She was delivered from NZ after a refurb, skydive conversion etc. STOL/ climb capabilities make it a popular choice for DZs but I can that it's an ultra versatile aircraft.

[@Kedvespatikus]

I don't know who you actually are, we've never met before, but after this vid I already like you, Jimbo. Should I show up in Lukla, I will ask for you as PF. :)

[@moviemad56]

Also from Kelsey's channel! LOL :D Thanks so much for pronouncing "Nepal" correctly.

[@abhinavvideogamevlogsavgv9932]

Thanks for the wonderful video about your flying to Lukla airport.....Congrats

[@trstquint7114]

This is a very nice video about a very skilled pilot...

[@GayorgVonTrapp]

That is a superb video. Absolutely outstanding clarity and explanation. Brilliant upload.

[@BradTheThird]

Came here from the recommendations. Everyone else is saying where they came from... Anyway, it's a shame you can't stay there longer than five minutes. I would be in awe of the sights around me. Just the sight of the snowcapped mountain in the background after the plane had come to rest is fascinating.

[@djanitatiana]

What a brilliant vid! Bit of a departure from the usual white-knuckled screaming Twin Otter yanking down the handbrake! Great explanation - thanks.

[@universalsaltcompany8846]

Very cool, thank you. Been there and boy, what a trip. Lovely to see what a pilot goes through

[@fredboeing6307]

[@ryandorn7831]

Watched this a whole bunch of times! Great flying sir - top of your game.

[@Khumbu0609]

Very cool to see the intricacies involved in landing at Lukla, which I've done twice. The first plane I flew on (Yeti 9N-AFE) crashed 18 months later, and the second plane (Agni 9N-AHE) also crashed 18 months after my flight! (Cue the Twilight Zone theme...) I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

[@sailaab]

You were passenger, or were you crew¿ Please tell us if you do. We'll have to set a reminder of 18 months on that aircraft!

[@RT-qd8yl]

Sorry, you're grounded. We can't risk anymore planes.

[@TalentedDilittante]

THANK YOU ! . . . A wonderful experience. Your narrative is much appreciated--indispensable..

[@merc340sr]

I'm always fascinated by the location of this airport. I haven't been able to land there on my Flight Simulator yet,...loll....Navigating through the mountains to find Lukla airport is no small feat...neither on FSX nor in real life I would imagine...

[@TonyStagge]

Bravo! Great landing and great vid. I've long wanted to see this.

[@blairguinea6811]

Great narrative Jimbo !, great flying too............you certainly get around. Must be that number 1 pilot.............thank you Sir

[@flyingmortgageman]

Just ticked 1 of my bucket list off and passed my Lapl a few days ago. After watching your video I just added anouther to the list. Would love to sit in the Right seat flying into Lukla. Great video best I have seen into there. Nice and relaxed, informative and factual.

[@JimboBurgess]

Congrats mate! 🍻 Great feeling isn't it?! I hope you get to tick that one off your list too, there are some spectacular views when the weather is great 👌🗻

[@farchmarch7043]

The most beautiful job and dream of the man kind, fly safe, congrats for the video, comments and professionalism.

[@shapathtandon1804]

Damn Captain Jimbo is so awesome. I have flown in Dornier and Twin Otters previously and every time I get so scared, the plane is always vibrating extremely, turbulence is maximum (in Dornier as per my experience), and the extreme turns and bents that always require a deep breath. But I think if my flight commander is Capt. Jimbo, I might be little calm. BTW, the flight video is awesome. I imagined huge claps and screams after your landed :) .

[@spikespa5208]

The applause would be from the folks on the ground. "The beer is here!"

[@jakew9887]

Great Video. Thanks for your step by step explaination as you made your landing.

[@stevehoge]

Stunning, professional presentation!

[@Gabriel60FT]

De los mejores videos que he visto acerca de aterrizajes en Tenzing-Hillary(LUKLA) .... impresionante y formidable la tranquilidad con que lo haces. Sin duda tienes muchísima experiencia con aviones STOL y en zonas como esta.

[@normanbrunt2053]

Really good video - great stuff. I'm sure it's true about discipline and flying going hand in hand.

[@johndoyle4723]

Thanks, I have landed here a few times, first time in 1992, it was just a dirt strip, no tarmac, no buildings, I got stuck there for 4 days waiting to fly out. We flew in on a twin otter, very scary flight, and very bumpy landing with dust and stones flying everywhere. last time, a few years ago it was tarmac and much better organised, still chaotic, but organised chaos.

[@JimboBurgess]

That would've been an amazing experience 🙌

[@captainmotorsickle5900]

Great explanation. I was always curious to see how exactly the procedures are for Lukla and it turns out it's very similar to the flying I do here in Papua as well. Although the strips I fly to don't tend to be as busy as what you've got in Lukla. As you rightly said this is some of the most rewarding flying you will ever do. Keep up the good work. And safe travels.
