Flight Experience - Landing@Kai Tak Airport

[@ferdyholim4218]

It's a thrill to land at Kai Tak. Even when it is just in a simulator.

[@rampar77]

This video didn't do justice. I lived outside the Kowloon wall city in one of those 4-story building less than one mile from the airport in 1963. A cockpit view would have shown the Pan AM 747 headed straight to the north Flag mountain and turned right 90 degree at the checkerboard time 2.17, and crabbing down onto the runway.
Years later I was working as an ME in Being Everett factory on 747-8, 777, 787.

[@onwardlam]

Probably the first time for the pilot. The first officer was telling him everything to watch out for including the checkerboard. Started his right turn a little late though.

[@CaptainRon1913]

Looks like a fun flight sim. Kai Tak closed for good in 1998, and is now a high tech cruise terminal. Other than that Chinese 747 over running the runway into the water, there was never an accident there.

[@Daniel-iq5wm]

There was 12 accidents reported at Kai Tak aiport?

[@bobkataviation3967]

Awesome job kid.
Right back onto the glide slope.
That takes skills dude.
That's what the pilots had to endure when flying into Kai Tak.
I never had the experience, but damn I know it was awesome. 👍👍

[@Airplane1384]

I had the experience 1yr ago. Landed with a bounce

[@bobboberson2024]

I think that's a passenger in the pilot's seat.

[@user-wl6bw3jl4n]

Blimey! What's with the negative comments - are you guys better than Chuck Yeager?
Great job Ken! You managed to fly one of the most (former) difficult approaches in the world and land the B737 safely within the touchdown zone. Well done!

[@ilikekenlee]

Oh, may be I did not get it clarified clearly. I am not a pilot. It is just a virtual flight experience in a training center. I just eventually got a gift and go to have a about one hour experience of this. It is not real😓

[@banana_man_101]

I also did an hour experience and also land at Kai Tak.

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

Even as a passenger landing there was an incredible experience, quite frightening how close the plane had to fly to the buildings. Unfortunately the simulator didn’t seem to show that sort of detail.

[@bobkataviation3967]

Man. Dude was off. But he pulled back to the glide approach dead on.
Now if you hate on the guy because he was off to the left. Then you need to check out the TH-cam video of Kai. Tak. Hard landing with the he 747-400 caught in a right cross wind.
And dude was able to pull the plane guide approach.
You had to have the balls if steal to land at Kai Tak.

[@peter6000ft]

Fantastic job. Tried this on a recent flight Sim. Didn't do to well at all Landed on the grass left of runway. So well done.

[@liliya_aseeva]

Same :P I saw a comment from a former Tower Controller that you need to start turning slightly to the left before the end of the vector, rather than sticking to it until the right turn. This gives more space.

[@trevorgilbert7284]

Makes perfect sense to me

[@MattyAir]

was a go around tbh. hard airport to land in. good attempt

[@taketimeout2share]

I was in the seat with you! I was having kittens just watching it. Better than the real thing, almost.

[@Japaneseyap]

were you?

[@faronanderson2536]

I'm so glad this was simulation.There's no way that would of ended well in real life.Put the boot into it and go around and try again...Holy crap!!!

[@Al_Dente-d1p]

idiot., Shut up you fucking moron. The video is 7 years old. Are you a fucking imbecil?

[@faronanderson2536]

John Johns the age of the video has nothing to do with it.What's your point?

[@Al_Dente-d1p]

Faron Anderson first, it’s would have ended well. You’re obviously a moron. And two, who gives a fuck. Keep your ass opinions to yourself.

[@faronanderson2536]

John Johns how do you know it would of ended well?

[@Al_Dente-d1p]

@@faronanderson2536 would HAVE you idiot - not would of. Wow.

[@radwi69]

Excellent job, regardless of your flying level compared to my driving skills in a racing video game!

[@kevinoconnell1983]

I used to fly in and out regularly going up to China. Would always request right side window. More fun than a roller coaster!

[@davoile]

Awesome :-) thanks for sharing. Hope you had fun making this :-)

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

I was a passenger in a plane that landed there in 1973, I’ll never forget it! I don’t think that the simulator portrayed what it was really like at all.

[@mdaley4390]

So how much will it set me back to have one of these in my living room?

[@jasonthomas9364]

So who’s the flying pilot, and who’s the monitoring pilot? They’re doing both

[@jimdavis1939]

I was wondering that as well. Hard to tell.

[@frankgallagher5786]

No one. New concept. Its called a shitshow.

[@smudgerbug]

Guys! Just to clarify, he mentioned that this was a simulator in a comment and pinned it! He forgot to put in title! Stop going crazy people.
Oh, he did not pin it but he did type the comment though.

[@philtralfaz]

That and the fact that he looks about 12 years old and has no shoulder boards should have given the clue.

[@bwoolno]

Did Kai Tak on Sunday the 1st December 2019 at Darling Harbour . Great experience

[@usarmy3111]

Over shot the runway... overall not bad. 👍🏻

[@RRRIBEYE]

KEN LEE!!! TULIBU DIBU DOUSCHU!!!!! ;-)

[@lytee3720]

Is it a 737?

[@DrFlippin]

This looks almost as difficult as parking your car at Costco on a Saturday afternoon in June.

[@smaze1782]

I think the Costco parking lot may be worse.

[@firstname8364]

Or selling a mattress

[@melmini6312]

hahaha😂

[@colinrunciman5166]

Yes, bit more

[@julien2095]

The ending slalom is okay... 'Ryan air is good for you', I guess

[@tonytaylor5204]

who was actually flying the 737? why did the FO constantly playing with the throttles?

[@rodmccutcheon1686]

actually if the guy in the right seat hadn't interfered telling the flying guy to extend his turn, the guy would have been right on the centerline. I tell the guy in the right seat to shut up and also take his hands off the trust levers.....

[@pakkwok4555]

現游戲機在CX城對影片，做好降落每个錶扳指示及警告才，明白每種机不同方法。

[@matuscorpo5478]

thank god its in a simulator. total chaos. hope these are not real pilots for their potential passengers

[@mochronanimations]

Ken Lee: This is so coool!!!!!
Pilot: Is someone illegally stalking us?
Pilot 2: *Shrugs* I don't know, just focus on the plane :/

[@jaybee7890]

that was a hot mess of target fixation, lack of clearing, and poor energy management.

[@aroopghosh1381]

Who is the pilot flying ? Both are seated too low for comfort

[@hughcapetien]

Looks like the student was in the pilot seat and the trainer was in the co-pilot seat.

[@ferark]

A lot harder than it looks. On my bucket list now. Ps. Well, done.

[@bytefyter]

That's in a simulator. Look at the"windshield".

[@JRJunior8624]

How come I never see the Checkerboard when in Cockpit view, but always see them making the turn
\

[@mattthegamerhongkong6948]

They were way far left of the approach, which means a late base to final. Should've gone around.

[@tangatoto362]

This is obviously a young guy training who has never looked at REAL footage of landings at Kai Tak, otherwise he’d have known which way to turn on the taxiway to head to the terminal......great fun though....

[@semmes5342]

you did exceptional...good job

[@joekrim6557]

young pilot earning his wings

[@cadukisara6227]

Esse aeroporto é sinistro 🤣

[@zsuzsannafreidrich6669]

I am with you welcome in hong kong much love. suzy

[@prmhighflr69]

Nice simulator but I sure wouldn't trust these guys with my life....lmao

[@lawtongore7053]

This is nothing more than a flight simulator and the guy landing it is a civilian getting to see what it's like trying to land an airliner at Kai Tec airport...
The actual pilot is seen moving the levers back to slow down the aircraft....

[@savat_95]

not bad

[@SB9P4]

Good simulator

[@jureklem9791]

Kilka faktów zdradza, że to nie jest lot normalnym samolotem, lecz na symulatorze.

[@user-qk2wu8jn6u]

First, it is absolutely wrong for the PNF that control the power when PF is doing the flying. Second, that instructor should have called a go around and not continue to land with the aircraft so much off the centreline. Third, that hard left rudder after landing for correction is extremely dangerous. Final, Kai Tak airport should never be a gaming practice for non professionals.

[@EfrainJGarcia]

You got it!!!!

[@oldmanc2]

I was scared man!! Great video though

[@joedbarrientos4189]

FlyTampa VHHX scenery is great!

[@skipcampbell4328]

Allegiant pilot training! Just joking fellas!

[@jose1967]

congrats

[@visionist7]

This has 767 likes so I won't change that.
I've just realised; simulators can't deliver a "kick" when landing can they? Would be useful

[@MariMari-tt6zi]

Chào hai anh phi công

[@tmyterry]

香港有嗎？

[@danmyers9372]

Pilot appeared to overshoot the approach a bit

[@ferark]

Flight sim

[@leehongkiu]

If that was the real kai tak, I afraid that the plane had bumped into the sea....

[@1960taylor]

craaaaaaash

[@gegela4063]

Simulator is very hard . So imagine in the past in the real landing 🤔

[@MauritsVeen]

Jerome Laf not that hard actually

[@MauritsVeen]

They use fsx

[@rolexkings7747]

I've spoken to some ex-pilots who flew into VHHH and also a familiar with FSX - and they reckoned it was harder on the sim!! Maybe he was joking. I'm familiar with this IGS approach but have not tried it on this sort of simulator though. Good attempt

[@dewiz9596]

Gégé La : when I was learning to fly, I found Microsoft simulator tougher than the real thing, in that it was more difficult to look out the side windows. I went on to own a Cessna 172 and enjoy it for many years.

[@user-lh4ot7zc4d]

懐かしいです！香港啓徳空港(^-^)
よく、香港に行きました。
l love HongKong!

[@clee6746]

Flight simulator.

[@tomdick693]

whos actually flying the plane? both pilots have their hands all over everything.
all of asia needs to go back a flight school in the USA and get some training.

[@PESMobileHongKong]

Bad land!!!too left

[@JohanSavage]

Landing was fine, I think you mean the approach ;)

[@thomasl7917]

need a booster seat? lol

[@kevinreath]

Where are the captains shoulder boards. This is a simulation.

[@user-fd7hb4sm1s]

Nice Landing !

[@JT-sz7xc]

Dude’s need booster seats, neither can see over the dash to fly this hands on approach.

[@buttermybutt7]

Hell he ain't got no captain's strips either....first officer's got um butt he ain't..lol....abandon ship

[@abdullakc]

Dangerous. This airport is no longer there

[@irongoatrocky2343]

nice Kai Tak Heart Attack in a Sim!

[@gdeosara]

this approach (the checkerboard) doesn't exist anymore I think at Kai Tak, this was obviously a simulation

[@Al_Dente-d1p]

are you an idiot?

[@jaiszainal4255]

haha aku perempuan israil

[@JERRYinCHS]

No body is strapped in, both guys have their hands on the flight controls, they're taking turns moving the thrust levers, what the hell is going on?

[@smudgerbug]

*JERRYinCHS* It’s a simulator. He mentioned it and pinned it.

[@skipcampbell4328]

I am still laughing!

[@frankgallagher5786]

Guess it would help if you could look outside. What shit show. Whos on first?

[@RafiqueNiihara]

Simulator

[@heinzhans6046]

What was that bad!
- flown too restlessly + too high, then flown the curve too far and fell like a stone on the final approach.
They weren't real pilots

[@jaydenthomas3254]

I would be gone around

[@DELANODOMINICANO]

That guy was Wayyy off. Jezzz

[@pratiklavande7320]

It is a simulation

[@hanjarake_taro]

isn't it clear that this is simulation

[@dewiz9596]

Nice simulator. The guy in left seat is training

[@worldbestpilot]

Two silly amateurs - not more !

[@hkforas]

Poor landing

[@gwynowen7150]

I just did simulator landing in Kai tak easy Peasy

[@banana_man_101]

BANK ANGLE BANK ANGLE

[@cpptmethodtoavoidpilotsloc2286]

Sim, not real..

[@grahambaker2619]

If you want viewers to believe this video then make sure the PILOTS ARE WEARING THEIR SEAT BELTS & SHOULDER STRAPS next time!

[@JohanSavage]

"If you want viewers to believe this video..." Oh do fuck off.

[@B777206]

Fake

[@piglex1]

Fail.

[@katif.9512]

was ist denn das für ein Blödsinn Simulator und wer fliegt und wer....fliegt nicht......Micki Maus Video

[@redsrollingnow1]

A very poor landing - not at all good 👎

[@wilberburroughs3133]

Absolutely un-professional, tasks are completely fuddled....unbelieveable lack of basic CRM and basic flying tasks...disaster

[@davoile]

It's a sim experience. The guys just having fun. Beats your negative outlook any day
