Approach & landing runway 34 Zakynthos airport (ZTH LGZA).

[@alexandratmatiasna3611]

I’m not even 5 seconds in and I’m already giving a thumbs up! Thanks for making quarantine life somewhat bearable!!!

[@mightymkl]

Thanks Alexandra!

[@phildurrant2422]

This is my favourite video on KZbin. I go Zakynthos every year on holiday bar 2020. Heres to normal life back this year hopefully and September this will be my view as a passenger again.

[@mightymkl]

Hope so too! Thanks Phil.

[@summerisonthursday5239]

Love flying to Zakynthos 🤗 and stayed in a hotel near the airport. Fascinating watching the planes going by 😎

[@jillyjomwebb1186]

Amazing footage, i really enjoy your videos, especially with the ATC, it feels like im sitting there with you. Thank you for sharing & keep them coming.

[@mightymkl]

Thanks!

[@billymog]

What a great video. Flown into Zante lots of times and going again soon... Its great to see it from the pilots perspective. Super work guys and I would be happy to have the both of you at the pointy end of my next flight there.

[@mightymkl]

Thanks for the support & comment Andy! Greetings, MightyMKL

[@Schipholinminecraft]

And another amazing video! Love the Dutch conversations on the flight deck :P

[@mightymkl]

Thanks for the comment.

[@louiseprice1435]

Just got back on Tuesday from Zakynthos, we were on the next beach along from the Airport so had a great time watching the planes coming in 😀

[@mightymkl]

Nice! :-D

[@isabeldean1396]

Hubby and myself stayed in a hotel literally 10 minutes from the airport. Enjoyed watching the planes going into land

[@mightymkl]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@bernardhendrik]

Wederom prachtig, dank je wel. En ook nieuwsgierig na die drie minuten.

[@mightymkl]

De drie minuten houden we aan voor het koelen van de motoren. :-) Bedankt voor je commentaar.

[@yung4evr]

Your landings are always polished and pristine!

[@mightymkl]

Thanks!

[@amandasmith3303]

the first flight I ever did!I remember the turn and thinking how close we was to the sea!

[@mightymkl]

As a pilot I am always happy with the summer season. We fly to airports that are different in approach and departure. Early turns above water and land are for us just things we like to do! :-)

[@jeffreyhaitsma8178]

Super video weer! Ik zou nog wel graag een landing of take-off vanaf luchthaven Groningen willen zien ;) Ik ben/was zelf helemaal geen held met vliegen, maar vind het bijzonder interessant! Mede dankzij deze filmpjes is mijn vliegangst sterk verminderd of zelfs bijna niet meer aanwezig. Groeten, Jeffrey.

[@mightymkl]

+jeffrey haitsma super om te horen dat je vliegangst middels dit soort filmpjes is verminderd! Groningen kom ik niet vaak. Maar ik zal eens kijken of ik daar een goede opname voor je kan maken... Ik heb wel al een film staan op KZbin waarbij ik op Groningen land. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWe8pWOAgbpre5o

[@jeffreyhaitsma8178]

+mightymkl Deze heb ik helemaal gemist! Bedankt voor je reactie en misschien een keer tot ziens aan boord ;)

[@mightymkl]

Hope so for you too!

[@louiseprice7755]

Beautiful, same approach for us in August, the views are amazing! I was wondering if there is a size limit of planes to land/take off from Zante as I think I only saw 737's. The runway felt pretty short and was one hell of a fast take off 😁

[@mightymkl]

I can't give you a answer, simply because I don't know. Runway length, strength and aircraft weight are limiting. So bigger aircraft can probably land there... but can't take everything (cargo/bags etc) with them.... so not practical.

[@j.c.s_0592]

Yeah that takeoff is insane, felt it myself too

[@Logan11thMEU]

just like Corfu get A320 and A321 boeing 737s and 757s

[@louiseprice1435]

Just booked to go there in a week, I'm a bit worried that we're too old for this resort! On the other hand I'm extremely excited about how we'll be able to watch the planes coming in 😀 another great video Sir, a pleasure to watch

[@mightymkl]

Enjoy your stay! Thanks for your comment. :-D

[@louiseprice1435]

mightymkl thank you so much Sir! This is a great video to watch, the approach is stunning, thank you for sharing this 😀

[@mightymkl]

It's a pleasure! ;-)

[@tobysmith8697]

which part did you stay in ? if it was Laganas thats for young ones lik 17 year olds to middle 20 year olds half naked getting drunk being loud...am 31..i went to greece last month i chosen tsilivi which was good because it was not full of kids getting drunk it was more peaceful but not boring

[@dalecannotuploadanymorebye4964]

Your flying is on point. Even the camera didn’t shake on touchdown

[@mightymkl]

Thanks!

[@dalecannotuploadanymorebye4964]

mightymkl You’re welcome, last time I went here on holiday they slammed the plane down haha

[@mightymkl]

Well... that could always happen... but is not intentional! 😅

[@dalecannotuploadanymorebye4964]

mightymkl you’ve got to contribute to the pretty short runway though to be fair.

[@mightymkl]

With a landing distance available of 2027m you are right. We want to land the aircraft in the touchdown zone! I am looking forward to this summer already. It's nice to have these destinations!

[@leonperry123]

i going to download this and watch it when i actual fly to zante in the summer.

[@mightymkl]

Thats good! Thanks.

[@Norisknofunfee]

nice Video and good Job 👏👏👏

[@mightymkl]

Thanks Andrea.

[@rafarafina]

Question, did you recycle the FD’s? And why if the FMC has a 3deg glide path on it, the FD guidance should be good isn’t it?

[@thijmenschoenmakers2532]

Alweer een mooie video!

Bedankt Thijmen!

[@klaasklapsigaar1081]

Fraaie video wederom! Was daar ook in dezelfde maand als de upload van deze video. (Met een HV-vlucht uiteraard :D) Mooie start meegemaakt op de terugweg. Leek alsof we uit de startblokken schoten. Houd je op zo'n korte baan als deze aan het begin even de remmen vast om de motoren wat kracht op te laten bouwen?

[@mightymkl]

Soms houden we inderdaad de remmen vast. Zeker op korte banen met weinig marge. Op die manier heb je gelijk de berekende thrust vanaf het begin van de takeoff roll.

[@klaasklapsigaar1081]

​@@mightymkl Is er ook nog een aparte term voor die handeling? In de racewereld wordt het bijvoorbeeld brakeboosting genoemd (rem + gas ingedrukt tijdens rijden zodat turbo druk kan opbouwen)

[@mightymkl]

Static take off.

[@JaapLubbersen]

Ik vind deze approach altijd de beste, je draait linksom het eiland en dan via het schildpadden eiland (Marathonisi) en dan zo over Lagana beach... zwijmel Αγαπώ την Ελλάδα τόσο πολύ !!!

[@mightymkl]

Dit is inderdaad een mooie nadering! :-D

Thanks Jordy. (Geld is op... ;-) )

[@realtime12345]

Mooie video. Is er een reden dat er om 2:05 bij Flaps 5 het landingsgestel al uit gaat ? Ik dacht uit je vorige video's te zien dat het bij Flaps 15 gaat.

[@mightymkl]

Goed opgemerkt. Het landingsgestel is deze keer eerder naar beneden gedaan om snelheid te minderen.

[@Timpaaa2]

Vet weer. Die 3 minuten na landing, zijn die in verband met het koelen van de motoren of de remmen?

[@thijmenschoenmakers2532]

Van de motoren

[@mightymkl]

Zoals Thijmen al aan geeft... voor de motoren. :-)

[@Schipholinminecraft]

En moet dat altijd na elke landing?

[@thijmenschoenmakers2532]

+Schiphol in Minecraft volgens mij niet bij idle reverse

[@thijmenschoenmakers2532]

+Thijmen Schoenmakers heb net nog voor de zekerheid nagekeken en de motoren moeten 3 minuten op idle thrust draaien en idle reverse wordt ook gezien als idle thrust

[@telosfd]

........Video camera armed.....checklist complete"!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent video. Why minimums are set to 800 feet and not to 200 feet for thiw aerodrom? Thanks.

[@mightymkl]

It is a non-precision approach with higher minima. (No ILS).

[@telosfd]

No ILS no 200feet minimum!

[@mightymkl]

Zoiets ja... (hangt van meerdere factoren af).

[@telosfd]

Hartelijk dank en vriendelijke groeten! From LGKR.

Graag gedaan! Groeten terug vanuit EHAM! ;-)

[@wangen2427]

what do you think about recording taxi,take off and landing. love the videos :-)

[@mightymkl]

I'll consider. :-)

[@jordyklabbers2042]

misschien ook leuk als de camera van achter de cockpit komt. zodat we de cockpit en de handelingen ook zien. misschien is het wel niet mogelijk ivm privacy enzo maar het is een idee😘

Bedankt voor het idee.... Who knows!

[@mightymkl]

You are welcome!

[@leonperry123]

why not runaway 1?

[@mightymkl]

Has to do with the direction of the runway... Runway 34 is probably close to 340 degrees... Runway 1 (01) is 010 degrees. It's like a circle which has 360 degrees... Depending on the direction the divide it by 10.
