- Landing in Barra on the beach - two missed approaches - FlyBe de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter
Pilot has to make three attempts to land due to severe weather conditions
This was not a missed approach, it was a flyover to confirm tideline. Loganair pilots very rarely have missed approaches even when the weather really is bad, which it is not in this video.
Oh hell no, that's a balmy Spring day by local standards...
Barra Barra needs a Real Runaway fa sure.
Pilots don’t have tide charts?
@@Mr91495osh visual confirmation is typical and often encouraged/regarded as required when it comes to unprepared (beaches fields etc.) or unmonitored/unmaintained runways, depends on the situation.
taking the risk of repeating what undoubtedly has been stated before, the first fly-by was probably not a missed approach. It was probably a fly-by to check the condition of the landing-area and the local windconditions. You can see that in the second approach the approach is much lower and the landinglights are on (I'm not completely sure if they were the first time). They switch them off as soon as they decide to abort the landing. Nice video by the way.
Is that necessary? To switch off the landing lights? As I understood you can have them on always below 10000ft. In those conditions, I would expect to go for max visibility, and switch all lights on. Maybe even taxi lights.
Looking at it again, I don’t think they switched them off.
Bars,is a tough landing,strictly daytimes,at low tide,but winds make it tougher, and so it goes,great job guys,🏴🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I did a 6 month contract at Barra. My main role was, after each high tide, to take a rake and remark the piano keys and runway numbers at each end, then rescribe the centreline markers.

It might be that pilot wants to have a flyover then do another approach

Judging by some of the comments on here, some people really don't understand or get island life, and sadly they never will.
Smarty points all round. He did a low pass to check the beach first. You had a good zoom on the camera. I bet that beach has seen a lot of traffic in its time, especially before the runway was built. Nice landing. Even the seagull got out of the way.
What, no air stairs....?! Loved the bit of sea weed dangling off the yellow trolley.
I want to know who said damn let's use the beach for a run way!
Great Video!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!
Wow! That was so cool! I'd love to go there. Nice filming!
Not too sure how to understand your use of the word "cool". I live in beautiful, sunny Cape Town, South Africa, and I would use the words "awfully cold"!
Yes,it's fun....used to land on the beach in a BN-2 at virgin Gorda in PR.
And at night we had to buzz the runway at Dorado to run off the cows near same....fond memories....
Wonder how the take off would be from such a wet and soft sinking beach sand...
Booked my next vacation on this airline. From the plane to the beach right away
Great airmanship.
Nice landing on the beach. I'm gonna do that one day on Barra!
@flightsimvideos2011 infact you can only land at certains times of the day, according to the tide :-)
Looks like the wind is causing the problems to the aircraft
For those who don't know. This really is an airport. I looked it up. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barra_Airport_(Scotland)
You can even book a flight online to get there. The airport code is BRR
what about the take off?
They should build an airstrip on that piece of land behind the terminal...It's big enough. I rode a little airline to Clear Lake City(by NASA-JSC) Texas...Had a short STOL strip. And they used the Twin Otter.
This route to Barra is given to all New pilots very first day on the job. (to get their feet wet ,)
Yes, and to dry the wet behind the ears!
landing on the beach may cause wheel and landing gear becoame so rusty immediately... is there any special treatment to prevent wheel landing gear from getting rusty?
Awesome - thanks
A beautifull island and a major holiday resort a lovely place to spend christmas puiteness and seclusion guarantee. Inspiring place to write poetry.
This airport may be better suited to helicopters?
" EXCELENTE AVION " DHC-6.
Good evening
Sorry but I didnt understud why not to land on the runway? even with crosswind?
(the wind indecator showed little wind) what didnt I sow?
because the sea it's the runway
The wind seems variable and the wet sand must be difficult to see from the cockpit with no landing lights...does this airport have aircraft parking or fuel ?
The beach when the tide is out is the runways, there are 3 marked runways on the sand. The title on this video is misleading, the reason for the plan circling as nothing to do with weather or missing approach, is simply the tower instructing the pilot to wait as tide not out far enough, meaning the sand may not be firm enough yet to take the weight.
+peter jones no aircraft parking nor fuel, if a plane was left overnight it would be washed by the tide!
It's a bit cold there for seaside parties, I'm afraid
Very short landing... High skill of pilot
gracias!
Onde fica esse país
O país é Escócia. Fica no Reino unido.
nothing apart from landing in one of the most weird airports in the world
if there anyone pilot. I have a small question. in the parking lot do you use engine thrust to steer aircraft?
Narendra Kumar usually engine in idle is enough to taxi but for tight turns yes we use thrust sometimes.
Look boss.
De plane De plane!!
What a great landing!!!
it is landing on a beach which is covered by water at high tide. The old twotter will land on just about anything, this being a wet sandy beach
Well it can't be a missed approach if there's nothing to aproach except a seashell and a sand berm!
were is this place ???
In Scotland.
is this heathrow airoport?
Tarek Aidi you kidding right?
😊
SO I take it landing here is not really profitable but more for the communities sake?
I like LoganAir!
Bet those wheel bearings need changing once if not twice a year!
They tried to use a bigger plane (Skyvan?) but as the wheels retracted into the fuselage it would have caused more corrosion so they went back to the Twin Otter. The aircraft is hosed down when it returns to Glasgow I think.
"yeah we are gonna need 40 a side positive, gpu cart, coffee, ice, papers, and can someone do the windows and exhaust trails?"
nice. Tides only restrictions
British bush pilots of Flybe!
Good👍👍👍👍
¡¡¡Asombroso!!! but, was always understanded than the planes can´t to land on the beach....!
Proper flying...
They need a DC-3.
Why would a company want to subject their aircraft to the brutal salts of ocean water?
What number is that runway?
Any number you want.
Three runways, washed twice a day by the tide.
Skills
Imagine the rust these twins must get from all the salt water on that beach
Hi,
We would like to know if you own the rights of this video.
If it's the case, we would like to use it in a corporate program we are actually producing.
Please, do you have a mail where I can contact you to discuss about it ?
Thanks !
sure matteosarzana@gmail.com
ਜਾ ਫਿਰ ਇੰਡੀਅਾ ਹੈ ਜੀ
It is logan air but in a flybe c/s.
Just another day, nothing more, nothing less.
CAN YOU SAY...CORROSION?
Lyle MORSE : can you say : « hope for isolated populations » ?
沙滩？
Alo piloto qwe apremdan
The largest runway in the world!
looking again i guess its on sand?? idk its confusing.
These aircraft last an average of just 23 months (!!) from new, before they fail corrosion inspections and are scrapped. The cost of this is born by the UK Government via the Bureau of Scotland (BS). Interestingly, at the end of every day the engines and CSU's have to be rinsed out with Gallium, a special and expensive chemical that repels salt away from the expensive parts of the aircraft.
shouldn't this corrosion problem apply to all seaplanes? Or other airports near saltwater
Missed approach?? Carpentry, measure twice-cut once...bush aviation, just normal due diligence
Chromed steel balls on those lads!
Edit:
I was probably inappropriate here again, so what I meant was that if the pilots were ladies they still got chromed steel balls!
There, now all is straight!
preflight checks in the sand
Marvelous
This airport is not finished. It must be Berlin 🙈
ਯੂਰਪ ਮੁਲਕ ਹੈ ਜੀ
Wish I was there
You need tripod!
You've central nervous problem.

Another pilot with wirh the instinct to fly one more time. .
"Pilot has to make three attempts to land due to severe weather conditions" - and apparent absence of a runway.
ok, lets just land at the beach. no problem :D
what if ppl were walking on the beach :O
Simon why would a Private Pilot License holder want to walk on the beach?
i dont care about the camera this is agreat invention winter airport and lifequard watchtower for the summer party
What the hell is there do at a deserted beach ?
if truly deserted no one would be there. go to a desserted beach and eat dessert all day- you'll have your just desserts, and just deserts.
why don't they just build a runway
Wilfred River because when the tide comes in it would flood the runway
wolf green too lazy
The salt water would ruin the runway.
wolf green the real answer is, is because the people that built the airport were boasting about how there airport was the only one in the world to have the beach as there runway
Why build a runway when there's a vast area of natural flat ground? So long as the cockle collectors are out of the way (they use the lower beach anyway - where the cockles are to be found), it's ideal.
I've been there, I've walked on it. Cockle collectors drive their cars out on it. Whilst I am no expert in flying, I can't see why this is more dangerous than a tarmac runway. Plus there's the added bonus that there's no danger of veering off the runway!
9:30 to 9:40
i filmed it as well. you can find it in my videos or by searching brr - gla
It's an international airport, it's closed to people. :)
Joshua Davies, the beach is only off limits when the wind socks are flying [indicating flight due to land], solely for safety reasons.
It's not an international airport. Most airlines that land there come from Glasgow Airport. Mainly Loganair and flyBe
Its a DHC-6, shit can survive anything
ੳੁਹ ਭਾਈ ਕਿ ਕਰੀ ਜਾਦਾ ਜਹਾਜ ਥੱਲਾ ਲਾ ਲਾਹ
airport??? don't look the airport!
grande porcaria...não tem o que fazer?
Avionerd: You better inform the vewers where the hell you are filming. Where is barra? Country-region,etc
Barra is up North of Scotland :)
Thank you
Your flotation device is the Airplane. Pilots on this run wear wet suits
2 missed approaches? He won't be with them long.
frontcentermusician No missed approaches.
Ya for sure it's good flying but... This is lunacy! Just build a proper landing strip. Might save someones life. Won't be surprised to read people died here at some point.
Alpha Whiskey Build a runway, then pretty much any tosser can land there.
Only if you ignore the tide-table :)
Only if you pay for it.
Barra is home not only to possibly the friendliest bunch of people you are likely to meet anywhere, but also to some truly stunning scenery. You go there to do very little. Soak in the scenery and nature. If you want lots to do, dont go to Barra.
11:20 You really can't call those guys the 'ground crew'. LoL
More like the beach brigade.
