Samos Island🇬🇷 (SMI) | Nice visual approach runway 09 | Pilots + cockpit + instruments view | 5 cam

Eurowings Airbus A319 visual approach and landing on runway 09 at Samos International Airport, SMI / LGSM, on Samos Island in Greece. Very deep Insights: Cockpit, pilots, instruments and sidestick views. With cockpit audio and ATIS (automatic terminal information service) and some explanations from the crew. Filmed with 5 cameras in 4k quality. Captain is pilot flying and first officer pilot monitoring. ATC (air traffic control) callsign is Eurowings 31DA (Eurowings Tree One Delta Alpha). Registration D-AGWB
During the manual flying part of the approach, this video highlights the sidestick of the captain. PFD (primary flight display) and ND (navigation display) are also visible during the approach.
Samos is a very special airport: The runway is not very long and due to the mountains, a straight in approach to runway 09 is not possible. The last part of the approach to Samos has to be flown as a visual maneuver for the lineup of the airplane on the final runway track. The village of Ireo and the Glasshouse are some of the landmarks for the visual pattern.

Indeed maybe the most difficult approach in Europe beside Madeira mostly for the strong winds. Top landing and top video ! Danke 😀

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your feedback! I agree, it is a difficult approach. It looks easier than it is. You need to know your airplane and the approach area very well. I also fly to Madeira. The airports both have their challenges, especially in windy weather conditions. In Samos, the runway is shorter and the straight part of the final approach is ultra short. Have a great day!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your feedback! In general, I like to fly visual approaches to nice destinations. Especially islands with airports near the coastline. Samos is one of my very favourite airports. Palma de Mallorca, Corfu, Madeira, Nice, Venice are also on the list.

[@pvdppvdp6638]

It's fascinating to see these planes approaching when sitting on the terrace of the holiday house I've been staying in September the last 2 years. The next village the captain was talking about in the beginning is Myli. Most planes (except some of the small(er) Olympic Air and Sky Express planes) make a nearly 90° turn there to get in line with the runway when passing over "the glasshouse". The cross winds are mainly there because the "Meltemi" wind (northerly wind) comes through a "gap" in the hills and goes right across the final approach. Fantastic job captain. But why go a lot of planes coming from the North as far as the island of Agathonissi to make a 180° turn to go to Samos?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and for sharing your very personal experience! The standard instrument approach starts over Samos airfield, continues to the south for about 10 nautical miles and then turns north back to a point abeam the runway. This is to loose altitude while staying clear of obstacles. This approach procedure is always followed by a visual pattern to runway 09 or 27. There is even a special chart available for the visual part of the approach. Have a nice day!

Fantastic clip, very interesting to watch this as i have been to Samos many times :) I just have a quick question. Why is it some planes that arrive and depart the opposite way than you did? Just happens from time to time, not often. I was thinking i had something to do about mountains around and border to Turkey. Please let me know if you have a good answere :)

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for your good feedback! We always want to takeoff and land with a headwind or a very light tailwind. When the wind changes, airplanes may land in one direction and later on takeoff in the opposite direction.

[@kam_a3216]

Captain beautiful execution and landing. A couple of questions - I don't see an RNAV approach on the charts, just VOR and NDB. was it decommissioned as far as you are aware? and did you create your own waypoints for the visual portion?- i am sure those brake fans earn their living at this airport :) - many thanks for another wonderful flight video.and Merry Christmas - Kam

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your friendly feedback! You are correct. There is no RNAV approach published. The company produced an own RNAV overlay approach which contains the waypoints of the published VOR approach and the visual approach part in one approach. For our approach, we were cleared for the visual approach very early. So we used the secondary flight plan. We put the waypoints and radials from the visual approach chart in that secondary flight plan and used them for additional awareness. I agree, it is always good to fly with a brake fan equipped plane to Samos. Merry Christmas also to you!

Did you have some custom waypoints defined on the secondary flight plan you switched to when going for the visual approach, or what had you prepared for that one, since you changed? And when flying without AP/FD, how / for what is the flight plan utilized? Tried the approach last evening in MSFS. Good challenge, and amazing to have videos like these as reference from real life. Thanks a lot.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your feedback! The primary flightplan contained the full approach procedure. The secondary plan contained just some self created waypoints which reflected the suggested path from the visual approach chart.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and the great and detailed feedback! With managed speed, the approach speed target changes constantly with the changing wind. To avoid this and to stay below the speed limit in the turn, I used selected speed with an increment which we included in the landing distance calculation. Have a nice day!

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Danke fürs Anschauen und die Weihnachtswünsche! Auch Ihnen alles Gute und ein Frohes Fest! CTOT ist die calculated takeoff time, die bei Bedarf von der Flugsicherung vergeben wird. Wir nennen das auch Slot. Das Zeitfenster zum Abheben startet 5 Minuten vor der CTOT und ist 15 Minuten lang. In der Zeit muss man in der Luft sein. Falls man dazu nicht in der Lage sein sollte, muss man die Abflugzeit im Flugplan verschieben.

[@Ibigoo]

Nice video, thank you for the upload. Why did you had to wait a minute before engine shutdown?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching! We had to wait a minute because of a required 3 minutes cooldown period after high thrust application. Usually, the taxi time is enough for the cooldown. Here the taxi time was very short and not long enough for that cooldown period.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your feedback! The engines have a required cooldown time. Due to the very short taxi time, we had to wait until the cooldown time is over. Usually the taxi time is longer than the cooldown time. Then there would be no additional waiting time at the parking position. Have a nice day!

[@henrikolsen5]

Procedure when gear down done by PM is that "arm speedbrakes", nose light to taxi (or TO) and rwy turn off lights to ON? A little hard to catch the exact details on the otherwise great videos.

[@sk290975]

Ein sehr schwieriger Anflug gut gemeistert. Toll ! Das sieht alles sehr durchdacht aus. Ich (Flugsimulator-Fan) habe da mal Fragen zu den Speedbrakes. Benutzt man diese eher, um nur kurz Geschwindigkeit abzubauen, da es mit den Triebwerken länger dauern würde (bis diese auch wieder hochfahren)? Vor dem Setzen der Flaps ist auch die Speedbrake eingesetzt worden. Ist dann der Anflug nicht schon von vornherein etwas zu schnell gewesen? Müsste man vorher die Geschwindigkeit mehr herabsetzen? So hätte man beim Setzen der Flaps mehr Margin und kommt nicht so schnell in die Flap Overspeed. und ich habe mal gehört, wenn man die Speedbrake einsetzt, dann sollte man die Hand auch direkt am Lever lassen, damit man diese nicht vergisst ( und die Triebwerke dagegen arbeiten müssten). Vielen Dank schon mal für die Antworten. Weiterhin viel Spaß. Ich freue mich sehr über diese tollen Landevideos (zum Nachfliegen in meinem Simulator).

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Vielen Dank fürs Anschauen! Speedbrakes werden immer dann benutzt, wenn es nicht reicht, die Triebwerke im Leerlauf laufen zu lassen, um Hôhe und/oder Geschwindigkeit abzubauen. Im Video wurde der Anflug kürzer als ursprünglich freigegeben. Damit hatten wir bereits gerechnet und konnten das teilweise berücksichtigen. Allerdings nicht komplett, da der standard Anflug aufgrund der Berge relativ hoch stattfindet. Deshalb habe ich die Speedbrakes genutzt. Wenn man sie nur kurz braucht, bleibt meist die Hand dran. Wenn es etwas länger ist, nicht unbedingt. Der Flieger meldet sich mit einer Warnung, wenn die Speedbrakes noch draußen sind, und dagegen Gas gegeben wird. In die Overspeed sollte man grundsätzlich nicht fliegen. Das erfordert ggf. eine Inspektion. Solange man keine Limits des Flugzeuges oder der Flugsicherung überschreitet, ist man auch nicht zu schnell. Wieweit unter der jeweils maximalen Geschwindigkeit die nächste Klappenstufe ausgefahren wird, ist von vielen Faktoren abhängig, die in jedem Anflug anders sind.

[@SoccerFL]

Merry Christmas, guys! Excellent video as always. Does Samos have an instrument approach at all, and what are the lowest minimums available?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Uwe, thanks for the great feedback! Yes, Samos has an instrument approach. Minimum descent altitute is 1880 feet for a Cat C airplane, like the Airbus 319 or 320. The approach brings you down on a northerly heading over the water towards the runway. From there you have to contnue via a visual pattern for the landing on runway 27 or 09, which is the preferred runway. The airport has published a special chart for the visual part of the instrument approach. We used this chart also during our approach. Merry Christmas to you!

[@henrikolsen5]

Is the PM noting A3, stand 7 on the scratchpad on the MCDU as a reminder?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

That is correct. We usually do not write taxi instructions down on paper. We type them on the MCDU scratchpad as a reminder.

[@DUBaviator]

Curious to know why you pulled selected speed instead of staying in managed for the final approach?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

I used selected speed on short final because with managed speed the ground speed mini system would change the approach speed target continously due to the changing winds. This is not helpful during the approach here with the very short straight part. Instead, we added a little bit to the approach speed and included that in the landing distance calculation.

[@bora7515]

Finally sharp PFD and ND but i am sure that it is relevant with the sunshine. For my opinion, it would be so useful who wants to learn something from you, maybe u should consider to set your 1 cam for the ECAM screen. Thank you very much for the nice video 🇹🇷

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your feedback! I - for sure - keep your suggestions in mind. Have a nice day!

[@henrikolsen5]

Many questions... I have a lot to learn :). Pulling the speed (136) on the approach, why is that, compared to just leaving it in managed mode?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Good question. With using the selected speed, I disabled the groundspeed mini function of the Airbus. In Samos, the wind usually is constantly changing during the approach. This constantly changes the target approach speed when we fly managed speed. Instead we precalculated the landing distance with a small speed increment. This speed was selected for the final approach. Have a nice day!

[@henrikolsen5]

Is there any trick in having both VOR1 and VOR2 tuned to the same station (here SAM), other than redundancy?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

We can enter the same or different VORs on the RAD NAV page for VOR1 and 2. When we plan on a VOR approach, we usually use both VOR receivers setup for the same VOR and the same course. This enables both pilots to see the course deviation on their CDI. VOR1 is shown on Capt side and VOR 2 on FO side.

[@MonteKalafiori]
