My dad retired from delta as a 757 line check airman. I know how professional those pilots are. He described it as hours of boredom with unexpected excitement, and always preparing for that unexpected. He truly loved to fly. When he was terminally ill with cancer, we went flying in his piper and did touch and gos on a breezy day, and the joy was evident in him. After being depressed for months, he was laughing and smiling.It makes me miss my dad hearing cockpit conversations, especially when they are going over what they will do on a missed approach. I got into air traffic control in military due to my dad. God keep all the pilots safe.
God bless you. I love and miss that world and was lucky enough to be part of it due to my husbands dream. It was in him since he was a little boy. I know that kinda of joy that only being aloft can bring to them. Thanks for the lovely memory.
Dear Pilots: I love you for everything you do. Thank you for always landing safely and promising to do your best, to get us all safely home. It means a lot to me.
Approaching minimums, what timing! I may be mistaken but that is about as close as you can get to clearly identifying the runway, turning off the auto pilot and landing the plane (not going around), all within 200 feet on an ILS approach. Add the fact that we are talking about LaGuardia which is no picnic on a clear sunny day, you add pouring rain which starts to let up right before the plane is reaching minimums, but the captain had glimpses of the runway lights when they were at around 1000 feet, BUT the distraction of all the other city lights made it clear, these men knew that approach well. That was an Absolute masterpiece!
In this case that is correct. I talked to my friend who flies the 737 for details since avionics type things have never been my area of expertise. He said, even though the 737 is Cat III/ auto land, meaning minimums of 50 feet or less, LaGuardia's runway 4 is only Cat I capable so 200ft would have been the minimum DH in this particular video and instance
That pilot was very well trained.. The last 200 ft was descending very rapidly according to the radio altimeter, I thought he was going to touch down hard but made a smooth flare and beautiful landing..👍✈✈
First of all....Nice landing. 2nd. I will just keep my VFR rating if you don't mind. Many Kutos to the pilot on this one. I will just be in the rear with the gear. VFR means I get to fly. IFR means......YOU HAVE TO. Again...Nice job!!
The reason they don't; is, nobody uses lunar wane shafts anymore...gyroscopically reciprocating low-influx shafts are so much more efficient, especially when paired with hydrogravitational parabolic carpel struts (preferably the 1.21-gigawatt type) in order to prevent loss of inverse static torsion in the flux capacitor through excessive tachyon vibrations.
If the wind turbine was close enough to use the thrust generated by an aircraft engine it would be directly in the approach path and planes would hit it
@@loralee4779 Expressway visual is for 31, this is runway 4 as stated in the previous comment. Secondly, this is clearly not a visual approach so even if it was rnwy 31, it wouldnt be using the expressway visual, it would be using one the ILS or rnav approach paths to intercept the glideslope & loc.

Your dad sounds like he had a happy career. I too enjoyed my time flying for Delta. Stay well, you'll make him proud.

those are the hardest working wipers ever
The wipers fought a losing battle.
What do u mean battle losing? Can’t see that u mean?
@@erichodges6066 It was a losing battle because the wipes were going at a high setting and the rain was still blurring the windshield.
@@RocketAnthem It was blurred through the part the camera viewed, the principal viewing area for the pilots was fine.

this is my 4th time watching that video I learn from it. It's just amazing how smooth they landed that plane.
La guardia is known as one of the more challenging airports to land at. Nice landing!
those wipers are going hell for leather
Nice job by the crew!
Skills.
What an amazing landing in such bad weather,a great pilot !
Love and respect you guys. God be with you always
Nailed that landing!
amazing pilots
Amazing navigational systems. Pilots were good babysitters.
@@frankgrimesification tell that to airbus pilots when they autoland in light rain
@@frankgrimesification Ok, you know what? let's go back to de 30's, flying the DC-3 and praying in every landing with rain or wind.
@@gordo1163 Thats not true at all
Always helps you be more confident in your approach when you have Hank Hills altitude guidance.
That pilot was very well trained.. The last 200 ft was descending very rapidly according to the radio altimeter, I thought he was going to touch down hard but made a smooth flare and beautiful landing..👍✈✈
it wasn't that smooth
Damn, nice job!!!!!
amazing
Thanks
Very good, excellent!!
Scary as hell!
Nothing scary about it. But everything every bit worthy of respect and admiration. These pilots did a damn good job with the approach and landing.
First of all....Nice landing. 2nd. I will just keep my VFR rating if you don't mind. Many Kutos to the pilot on this one. I will just be in the rear with the gear. VFR means I get to fly. IFR means......YOU HAVE TO. Again...Nice job!!
Such a major difference between VFR and IFR, and we see why. I think I heard La Guardia is rated as one of the toughest airports to land at. Good joe
Awesome 🙈
I like how on Mexican airlines, everybody claps and cheers when we land.
After 9/11, I remember people clapped. I wish they still did.
the only thing amazing here is that he landed at lga and the flight wasn't cancel.
Right, normally if it sprinkles within 5 miles of LGA they close the place
I hate landing in LGA on a clear perfect day, these pilots were great, highly trained professionals.
butter
Amazing I wounding back in the 30s 40s 50s 60s there can Measure the speed and height in bad weather and with less landing lights and no technology
oof what a mess that weather.
In weather like this at night, how do you see the taxiways to turn off the runway?
Centerline and edge lights. It's always way worse in the air because you're going fast. The windshield wipers keep up alright on the ground
everyone has stopped, not just the wiper
What?
Very Amejing landing 🛬🛬
They ought to put wind turbines just behind airport runways to make use of all the wind planes create when they take off
The reason they don't; is, nobody uses lunar wane shafts anymore...gyroscopically reciprocating low-influx shafts are so much more efficient, especially when paired with hydrogravitational parabolic carpel struts (preferably the 1.21-gigawatt type) in order to prevent loss of inverse static torsion in the flux capacitor through excessive tachyon vibrations.
If the wind turbine was close enough to use the thrust generated by an aircraft engine it would be directly in the approach path and planes would hit it

Rwy 4 or 22? 4 is arguably a higher workload.
Basing it off the road with a bunch of cars to the right shortly after the runway is in sight I am going with runway 4
I'm pretty sure that was the expressway visual approach, so that would be 4.....or could it be 13?
@@loralee4779 Expressway visual is for 31, this is runway 4 as stated in the previous comment. Secondly, this is clearly not a visual approach so even if it was rnwy 31, it wouldnt be using the expressway visual, it would be using one the ILS or rnav approach paths to intercept the glideslope & loc.
Jesus
What’s the point of the wipers lmfao
auto pilot all the way in....
Not quite all the way. A/P was disconnected at 200 ft
Would you rather they fly manually with weather like that? I see no problem with having the AP in, just makes for a smoother approach.
Indeed, the Autopilot does not have a role of thinking, reasoning and decision-making. It executes the pilots' instructions and directions.
