Very low landing in Tegucigalpa, Honduras AA955

Another very close landing in the second most dangerous airport in the World. This time coming from Miami on AA955 Sept 20,2014

[@joelt4416]

I have landed in Tegus many times and I have seen millions of videos from all angles and I have to say, minute 2:00 to minute 2:10.....that looks WAY TO LOW. I have never seen the engine so close to the rooftops, look at the shadow of the airplane!!! HOLY COW!!!!

[@catrachoQ]

carleton morris neither have I! was so shocking I had to say this was a scary landing haha

[@mauritsvanderpol7415]

I had to reply in slow mo! Unbelievably low indeed!!!

[@CameTo]

Yeah it was low. You see him touch down at the piano keys, way before the touch down zone. As he has so much time to correct, but did not, we can safely assume this is a pilot had one thing on his mind, getting down early to maximise stopping distance.

[@angryskitboy7776]

Omg from outside how would it look I wonder

[@serpentine1983]

@@CameTo I think he landed way to late! That runway is so short! And won't even tell you what's at the end of it! But the pilot did a good job.

[@youngavaitor]

jesus that is a extremely fast approach

[@Shaliaj7]

justin gant the fast approach is the norm in this airport, due to the mountains around the city, is no other way. Before getting closer to the airport, the plane fly at low altitude-close to the mountain peaks. The city terrain is like a bowl, and the airport is in the bottom of the bowl. The last approach take a flight in spiral, what make the landing a very vertical landing.

He never said it wasn't dangerous, he simply explained what makes it dangerous.

General Grievous You’re so uncivilised

[@infiniteflyer8136]

Actually, the 757 was one of the slowest jet landing at MHTG, landing at about 114-125 it’s while the erj190 or 737 were landing at abou 134-142

[@catrachoQ]

@@Shaliaj7 perfect description of my family's hometown airport, a giant soup bowl. Love it

[@charliebrown6072]

I have been to Tegucigalpa a couple of times, and the most scary thing about those trips was the landing itself! But at 2:00 was a scary landing!! I would’ve been terrified!!!! It’s a good thing I never got a window seat.

[@chrispengraves6487]

This never gets old ❤ thank you 🙏

[@bluelobster007]

thanks for sharing. I must've missed the scary part. I just could not tell the scary part and I do know all there is to know about this airport and its challenging approach and landing. Thanks again, buddy!

[@catrachoQ]

bluelobster007 Maybe scary was the wrong wat to describe it, possibly extreme would be most appropriate being that no zoom was used in this video and how close the aircraft engine was to the rooftops seconds before touchdown. After over 15 years of landing here multiple times a year, never have I seen the aircraft be so low. Thanks for the view

[@Jc22ny]

Great Video! Thanks for uploading

Thank you so much for the views, comments and likes everybody! Much appreciated!

[@Williamjclopez82]

incredible landing.

[@lazydayhohum]

Now that is how to fly a plane,worth every penny.

[@cbarry88]

far too low and far too fast.. trust me, I've never landed a plane in my life

[@fingerhorn4]

Perfectly normal landing at normal speed and normal height. The houses are close, but it got exaggerated by the slight zoom of the camera. Touchdown was just past the threshold markings which is ideal. Landing has to be firm to discourage floating on such a short runway..

[@catrachoQ]

fingerhorn4 I felt that this landing was done at a lower altitude than normal. Speed was extremely normal for a TGU landing, touchdown was perfectly executed just have never seen the aircraft engine be so close to the rooftops especially being that no zoom was used in this video. Sad to know that TGU will never see a 757 again 😔. Thanks for the view

[@hjposso]

con qué cámara lo grabaste?? está excelente

[@glennllewellyn7369]

Top pilot work.

[@bestpilot98]

brilliant! i wanna plane watch there!

[@a.b.2897]

Wow, that seems amazing! I could identify some models of cars on the street because the approach was so low! Do you happen to remember the registration of this plane?

[@catrachoQ]

I wish I did remember. I'm so sorry

[@peachworks_en]

RR sound all the way!

GREAT video...👍

ok, smartypants

[@rangerrick8220]

Some say this is one of the hardest airports to land at... low last minute hard left approach. Looks to be correct!

Eso no es en Tegucigalpa, y que pasó con los cerros los rasparon o que ???

Incredible.

Didn't they build a new airport?

Best 👍

Tegucigalpa looks like an attractive city from the air with all those rolling hills. Is it?

[@Shadia124goodnight]

Honduran here. I’m not from TGU but it is a really big city, I’m not sure if I could say it’s attractive but it is ridiculously easy to get lost in. 😅

[@73av8r5]

I love the title of this video. Every time I land I’m low. 😉

[@harrydoherty8299]

Low landing??? I thought landings were on the ground.Lol. I think it should read, low approach. And yes, a great video with an exciting landing,, I mean ,a low aproach.

The 2nd most dangerous approach in the world is also the most dangerous one you can perform on an airliner.

[@edwardfranklin9878]

Nice

[@miladicanimations7759]

Wee Tu Low

[@TheFberry100]

Aren't all landings "low" by definition?

[@anik1860]

I believe if I stand on one those roofs, I could easily touch the engines. That landing is so low

[@outwiththem]

How low, in millimiters...

[@b.a.9658]

I think flaps are not working, that's why they are approaching so fast. I cant find other reasons

[@weskohler]

No they would be working. The approach speed is fast here because of the location of the airport and the approach aircrafts must fly

[@joelt4416]

if flaps were not working you wouldn't be landing at Tegus. TRUST ME! They were set. You can see the leading edge slat deployed on the wing

[@jamesrandall4837]

It is due to airport elevation above sea level with less dense air

[@lesterzuniga6288]

[@AudieHolland]

That landing was so low it even touched the runway

[@nonstops_aviation]

Runway is very short so they don’t have much room to land on the touchdown zone

[@Astroboy1957]

Wow

2:08 is way too coose

[@GeoXGD]

2:02 WHAT A SHIT?!

[@quack5003]

the people that are talking should be in gta v it sounds like they should be there

[@kefahatumi9095]

Why is this scary?

[@catrachoQ]

It's the second most dangerous landing in the world. The aircraft is flying right over mountains as it makes its final approach to the airport (as seen by the proximity of the engine to the hills with the houses) after the final hairpin turn before landing the pilot must slam on the brakes as at the end of the already extremely short runway there is a huge ditch that planes have overshot in the past and fell down.

[@kefahatumi9095]

+catrachoQ That's really scary.

[@AishiMTA]

+Kefa Hatumi A short runway surrounded by mountains isn't scary?

[@interstellar4394]

+Kxmiy definitely

[@federicovoss8141]

Because the airport is so close to the city and it's scary for being there with this extremely fast approach

No clapping? :( Boo....

norraguldheden lol I was excited about clapping but that never happened hahahahahaha maybe next time

I was waiting for that as well.

[@murilovsilva]

What's deal with all these people clapping after landing nowadays?

[@gw5033]

It is now considered politically incorrect to clap upon touch down, you have to wait till the plane overshoots the runway.

[@EauRouge]

Clapping is for ignorant cunts...
