Pilot View London City Cockpit Landing Airbus A220 - 2024 in 4K

[@888AshLi]

I'll never forget visiting London in 1987 together with my little daughter. It's such an impressiv city with so much history. History I'm so fond of... Thank you, dear Dominic, for bringing up again a landing on that incredible airport. 💖🙂

[@tjfSIM]

Beautiful approach and landing. I'm always amazed how smoothly the pilots transition from descent into the flare, it's hardly noticeable.

[@topfelya]

Amazing footage Dominic ! Its always a joy to watch your landing videos at London City airport 🙂

[@dnhug]

Thank you so much mate for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed yet another LCY one :) More coming! Have a great evening, cheers, dom

[@hotel_alpha_321neo]

Vielen Dank für die fantastische Aufnahme! Ich hoffe, dass die SWISS den A220 weiterhin auf dieser Route einsetzt...

[@Persephone_]

Have been following you for a few years now, glad to see you're still going :)

[@dnhug]

Thank you very much! Hope you will enjoy what’s coming in the future :) Best regards, Dominic

[@bombsaway6340]

Very nice approach and landing

[@grrlpurpleable]

I've only flown into LCY once on a BA ERJ190. Seeing the cockpit view on that RWY27 landing was awesome. Thanks!

[@gordonmcmillan4709]

Neat, tidy, professional.

[@dnhug]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the ride!

Fantastic video, sounds and sights!! I really enjoy these cockpit videos my friend, many thanks for sharing, stay safe brother!!

[@ianpaynetravel]

I think this is the best video that highlights the approach angle, especially sped up, nice one! I've posted some front seat takes offs and landings from here, but still waiting to get a city view approach so hopefully will be lucky one day.

[@sidbroughton8750]

Great landing.

[@dnhug]

Thank you!

I live in Woolwich across the river which is two stops away on the DLR. So yes i have flown both Swiss and Lufthansa Zurich/Frankfurt to connecting flights to either Hong Kong or Singapore. I do love flying from or arriving at city airport as it so convenient, though with the Elizabeth line i dont mind flying direct from Heathrow these days.

[@Steamyy_]

I love plane spotting at London city airport

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Absolutely amazing Dom!! 😍✈️👍🏼🇬🇧 My next flight to London but LGW with Swiss will be on 16th August. Looking forward to the flight with an Embraer E195 of Helvetic and also to see my godfather in the UK! Cheers Matt

[@aviationcinematics2025]

Yet again splendid footage as always Dominic! As always all the best, got to film you landing at LCY so if you have any scheduled for late August make sure to tell me in advance 😉 😎

[@t.p.mckenna]

Crystal clear footage in optimum weather. One of the best LCY landings I've seen BUT for the presence of that layer of pesky cotton wool balls.

I've tried LCY in MSFS 2020 and it is a real challenge! I have never managed to land it! Kudos to all of you real pilots, some people should try the closest thing to a real flight, with a (fairly close to) 'study level' aircraft like the Fly By Wire A320 NEO and see how difficult commercial flying actually is.....more so when you don't have a F.O in the cockpit next to you, and you don't have any CRM....it's all down to you as the PF to manage your own CRM!

[@RomeoDeltaAviation]

Fantastic production Dominic! Impressive X-wind approach into LCY. Interesting apron procedure with the near 180 turn to park at the stand 😎✈️

[@3MinutesofAviation]

Unique perspective! May I feature this steep approach and landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Keep up the great work!

[@dnhug]

Hey mate! Sure, just like last time. Best greetings, Dominic

[@dnhug]

Crazy thing is the morons calling my LCY footage MSFS2020 footage on your compilation video. Cheers for the credits, dom

[@3MinutesofAviation]

@@dnhug It just looks too good I guess 😉 Thanks for letting me feature it!

[@jonjohnson2844]

The turn on to the taxiway from landing seems almost immediate! Do the passengers feel any abnormal deceleration?

[@dnhug]

Captain wanted that exit, he knew the assigned stand we got assigned, and in the briefing that was done to discuss the landing, he decided for the optimal exit. Pax felt the stronger braking, but nothing to get worried about. Thank you for watching and your comment! Best, Dominic

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

What’s abnormal deceleration?

[@dnhug]

He referred to a much stronger braking action on this landing then on others with regular approach paths and runway lengths. Cheers and thank you for watching,Dominic

[@pyrat1340]

Very nice video and quality. It is the first time that I hear that it is unsure if SWISS will continue flights to London City - could you tell us more about that topic?

[@MrPeerum]

😅thanks for the amazing landing. greetz:🍐Peer.😅👍👍👍👍

[@dnhug]

Bedankt Peerke!! Have a great week my friend

[@MrPeerum]

@@dnhug 😅Ha Dominic,U 2. laterzzzz.✈😅

[@yummysatay]

I thought the steep approach was to clear the city skyrise buildings. Since this landing was from opposite side, did it use the 5.5° approach? Never tired of these nice A220 videoshand-pink-waving.

[@vulcanvoyager]

Ah chemtrails, lovely!

[@dnhug]

@@vulcanvoyager new years joke? Chemtrails :) good one mate. Cheers

[@gameswithbrains]

just missed the TDZ! I had no idea the airbus 220 tells pilot to standby and flare...

[@dryflyman7121]

Was that an ILS landing or manual? 👍

[@dnhug]

This was a manual landing. Thank you for watching, best regards, Dominic

[@flightmode254]

Awesome capture! Would you mind if I featured this view in one of my upcoming episodes? I'll be sure to credit your original video with a link. Thanks a lot!

[@dnhug]

Hi there! Sure, looking forward to it!

[@flightmode254]

@@dnhug Thanks

[@davidcole333]

I could visually see that was a steeper than normal approach. I thought you could have just slipped it in, like you were piloting a Piper J-3 cub into a grass strip! That was a great approach, and the landing was just buttery smooth.

[@aviation_nut]

Yeah, when I saw the radio altimeter call out 1,000 that close I raised an eyebrow. I forgot about the steep approach required for LCY.

[@yowhy4305]

Just out of interest, can you see other than visually?

[@aviation_nut]

@@yowhy4305 With instruments it can be quite clear. A typical glidescope angle is 3 degrees. This works out to be roughly 700-800 feet per minute in an airliner. If you're keeping track of the glidescope indicator at more than 800 feet per minute at the typical approach speed of 140 knots, then it's steep. Headwinds and such will make it different, but that's a rule of thumb. Another way is if you're 1,000 feet from the ground (assuming the terrain is flat), that's usually going to be around 3.5 miles from the airport tops. If your instruments tell you you're 1,000 feet from the airport at, say, 2.5 or 3 miles, then that's another indication you're going in steeper than usual. Again, that only works if your surroundings are flat. If you're landing in mountains or the airports on a plateau or valley, that wouldn't apply.

[@Rndmstff737]

What was the registration?

[@dnhug]

I don’t know anymore. Couldn’t tell, honestly. Best regards, Dominic

[@Primus54]

Curious if this aircraft is a -100 or -300? Also, I’ve always wondered how frequently London City Airport has landings that have to go around because the touch down was late?

[@barryessex2779]

It's a 100, the 300 doesn't have approval for London City...

[@Primus54]

@@barryessex2779 Thanks!

[@dnhug]

It’s the -100 as Barry correctly pointed out. But : interestingly, if you check the ground markings at 6:06..? Maybe certification is on the way. To answer your question, go arounds are still rare, even at LCY. In my 23 years I had around 5 of them at City. Thank you for watching!

[@Primus54]
