I worked at LCY for KLM GS and had the pleasure to fly in the cockpit many times with some great pilots of VLM, Crossair and KLMuk Some great landings and a great time with the KLM GS family, How I miss them all.
Thanx for this. When flying into LCY, would always keep an eye out for the tower block where I once lived and was thrilled to see it in this video. Brings back memories.
Hey, thanks for 'labeling' everything! As a Yank, I see some of the landmarks in MS FLT SIM and X-Plane, but seeing them IRL, is amazing and it is nice to see the real landmarks in real scale. I have a new respect for that approach.
Thank you for posting this. … Fascinating to see the view from the pilot's perspective. … Being a devout Anglophile, there is the added bonus that the flight landed at my favorite city. … Great to watch.
flown to this airport in a sim without proper briefing and got caught by ap not being able to follow the ils. Thought it was a bug with nav data, but you showed that this is a real thing.
I landed there in a Dash-8 coming from Bruxelles in the early 90's, I can't remember the year but I remember we landed in the opposite direction due to strong winds. Landing towards the Canary Wharf was astonishing.
Having worked for Barclays and KPMG on the Wharf, sat in those offices watching the aircraft fly over, this video has given me quite a perspective change on the flight/approach. Excellent video!
Beautiful approach to London City Airport with spectacular view of the city. I have never been to London so this was a sightseeing trip for me. Very enjoyable. Look forward to more videos!
I land and maintain glideslope in simulators using my very favourite instrument (PAPI) . Hats off to the person who came up with the idea of PAPI lights. No crashes for me (manual landing) after understanding what the lights mean.
Perhaps NOW I'll be able to land here using Microsoft Flight Sim 2020! I bet pilots are glad to see the new taxiway construction too. That's one heck of a hairpin maneuver, but the Dash can handle it all! Thanks for the great clean video!
Scenic but scary. Surprised how much time on the approach is over city buildings, etc. And yea, that glideslope is pretty steep! Reminds me when I was stationed at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Saigon in the late 60s. All aircraft did combat landings with a high approach, lights turned off before going down the glideslope at night, lights turned on and a radical flareout at touchdown. This was really impressive when the civilian contract airlines (707s) did this. Passengers were briefed on this.
Thank for the cockpit view for this technical approach. I have a bit of an affinity with the Dash 8, living within 5 min of EGHI, I also fly C42 around EGHI CTA / CTR from Lower Upham, (Bishops Waltham Flying Area) So encounter Dash 8 visual and Solent LARS comms quite regularly. Also flown as passenger many times, and have come to hold a deep respect for this type. Thanks again, Jules.
Very very good video. And a nice landing also. Great to see ! I flew a Dash8 with original panel on a simulator. If you forget that you're in a simulator, ......a special feeling like you are in a real one.
Done several transits via of LCY perhaps my favourite 'unconventional airport' & simmed them too. Old pilot from Aussie. Thanks for your well presented video.
If the initial explanations are way too short in time (you have to pause the video to be able to read everything), all the rest is excellent : technical as well as landmarks subtitles are very clear and easy to read, and give the essential. Very fews of such aviation videos make this effort to give even basic comments, so thumbs up !
Thanks for your comments nanba25, I'll take note of it ;) my initial idea tho was to create a very easy vid to watch, not making it too long to watch otherwise ppl get bored... difficult balance to achieve 😅 but thanks again!
Thank you for a really enjoyable and well shot video. The information given in the subtitles adds greatly to the experience. Plane looked to be in very safe hands!
The runway used to be warehouses. They were knocked down and the rubble cleared and flattened. I watched the first aircraft land on the strip to see if it was possible to build an airport there. That was in the 80's, I think it was a Dash 7. I then watched as the airport grew into what it is today. Great video and thankfully no music.
Looked more like the glider approaches I'm used to, to be fair. We're only doing 55-60knots but we're less than a mile on finals - possibly even half a mile - and we have a 20-30 degree glideslope. Looks similar to your 5.5 degree, 160 knots from the pilot's eye view.
Prior to 9/11 I was fortunate enough to be invited into the cockpit during the landing of my flight from Aberdeen to London City airport. It was an amazing and truly unforgettable experience.
such a steed decent , great job landing, only been to London twice, my favourite part is watching the never-ending decent and climb of aircraft of all sizes around you
I fly this exact approach with FSX using the Majestic Dash 8 Q400 Pro with the FlyTampa London scenery and have all the options maxed out. It is as real of an experience you can get without flying the real thing. I always struggle with this glideslope. Speed control is the key here. Well done with the editing and callouts as you progress.
Life can be surreal thanks to TH-cam. Growing up in Canada after the war, London was like it was a made up place. All of the war movies etc and then to see like this. Well now it ‘s a real city. Thanks. I’m a pilot so I love the flying too👍🏻
This is good, I remember on 2000 When we build the HSBC tower, the jib of Wolf crane was on your way, we had to work hard to finish , because one extra month of crane on your way, cost 1,5 milion of pounds to Canary Warf company, we was strugly with strong to fit the last row .
Wow! That did look pretty steep. I'd love to see the approach and landing from the far end of the runway. Good video. (DH, Oklahoma City, Jan 31, 2020)

This is a *perfect* aviation video, no music, no hussle, great takes.
Thanks!

Gotta love youtube for giving us the opportunity to see something most of us will never experience. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the excellent subtitles. It really helps to understand what is happening at each point in the process.
Sarah Jones And you can see where some of the sights are like London Bridge, Parliament, etc. I like that!
Thanks ;)
Agreed - great subtitles. Thank you!
Excellent video. No music ++. No overtalking ++. Subtitles ++. Makes the whole process clear and unnerving. Thank goodness I'm in the back.
Thanks Steve!
No over-editing, straight approach video, great view, accurate landing. A+.
So refreshing. A video that does just what it says on the tin. No waffle, no music and good titles keeping all informed. Nice job.

Sweet view! I know just enough about airplanes to be able to follow your comments. Thanks for the ride Capt.
Now that *is* a steep approach, you were practically standing it on its nose. Great video, thanks!
An extremely well done video with none other than a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400. 2 x PW 150a, cruise at 415 mph. A truly unique aircraft. Proudly Canadian.
Yes! Very Canadian hehe Thanks for your comment Frank!

You should film them so I can see how you see us ;)
Great approach and landing. Very smooth. Well done.
liked the descriptions of what is around. Good job.
This is one of the best videos of a landing I've ever seen. Amazing
Beautiful approach to London City Airport with spectacular view of the city. I have never been to London so this was a sightseeing trip for me. Very enjoyable. Look forward to more videos!
If you ever decide to go there, don't miss this airport!
This is surely one of the best Aviaition Videos I have ever seen! Thanks SAL Pilot!!!

Absolutely true, looked across to the window opposite me and saw Buckingham Palace perfectly framed in it....!

Low over the City, I never saw one landing in the city when I have been there. A steeper than normal approach ,fantastic video!
Great video thank you. The approach is amazing.
Very nice, thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Great video! I loved seeing this view of London and EGLC. I've never been there and likely never will be, so it's great to get this beautiful view.
I've done that descent on a flight from Exeter. It really is fantastic.
Cool video,
Great time of day to capture it. Amazing Piccadilly Circus is so visible, moreso that airfield!
Thank you for a really enjoyable and well shot video. The information given in the subtitles adds greatly to the experience. Plane looked to be in very safe hands!
Thanks a lot!
Spectacular video! Flew once into this airport myself on the Fokker 50 with VLM, really cool. Thx for sharing!
Very nice. Subscribed
Made this appr . in a BA Embrear 190 together with my grangson from Rotterdam in 2017 for a weekend London , very exiting!
Back when cameras were honest experiences… Thankyou for this history.
This is trurly the best approach video I have ever seen. Thanks!
Thanks for the tour of London! That's a city I've always wanted to visit.
many thanks for sharing panoramic view over london city. I wanna visit it
Awesome video!! Thank you for highlighting the points-of-interest
Fantastic Video! Really enjoyed it
Thanks for your comment!

Really great video. Thanks for posting.
Flying by hand that´s REAL FLYING!!! THX for this nice vid and the very interesting subtitles! Always Happy Landings. Jo
Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for posting and for the handy subtitles.
You committed Aviation, right there. Cool, calm approach and easy to see the hazards and difficulty. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment Tom! It looks calm but there's so much going on really xD ehhehe

That is a COOL airport. I'd love to see this place in person. Cheers from Maine!
Very enjoyable video and useful captions. Thank you!
Wow great skill that is one very steep approach !
Lovely vid, I work in Canary Wharf and I always see the planes overhead , great piloting.
Excellnt view, we expect another one on a sunny day and late hours.
Super approach and awesome landing folks. I'd flight twice on a Sunday with u folks !!!
Awesome video and great flying! Liked! Beautiful to see London from the sky. Greetz
Thank you for a GREAT video seven stars!

Must be a great view for passengers, thanks :)
Nice video. Thank you very much for the subtitles.
Perfect approach and landing, well-done pilots
It was a steep approach
Super Very Nice pailoting Beutyfull Video Shooting Fantastic Thank You Bro
I love these planes... an aircraft of the past, but now of the future as they are going back into production.
Great video, thanks. Excellent for those of us who enjoy Flight Simulation to practise our London City Landings!!
Wow what a breathtaking view over London!!! Thanks a lot. Greetings from Montreal :)
Derrien, j'aime bien les Québéquois et les poutines :P aussi!! Et merci pour aimer le vidéo!!
Merci bien , mais vous avez mal ecrit le mot" Quebequois" :). C'est Quebecois.
Mais oui ;P dsl! hehe
Thrilling... can't believe I'll be there in less than two weeks!
A fantastic video; thanks for the detail. I have visited LCY pre-security, but never flown in or out of LCY. I look forward to it!
Beautiful approach and landing
A smooth, steady approach and landing.

Simply fabulous !!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Landing is smooth like butter
Right on the vasi two white two red and nice smooth flare. Greased it!
great landing I love the cash 8 such a fun plane to fly

thanks, cool! Was landed on this one a couple years ago, City Jet from Amsterdam. Also gat the same approach like this, from west to ost.
Great approach and landing!
Beautiful, interesting video. Nice bit of aviating by the way👍
That's excellent ! Some great flying. Thanks for this video..
Thanks for subscribing and commenting! ;)
Fantastic video, no silly music...well done !
This video, my friend, is as awesome as something can be!
Thanks Alex!
Great video very informative and nothing spoiling it
Thanks!
Awesome, this video is excellent, and liked the captions tool, very nice. I regularly fly this approach too, in fsx of course, lol.
And how is it? Good landings ;) ?
yes, i land like how you landed the dash 8
I am sorry for you then, too hard :D
The city Airport is just awesome!!!
Not as much as Funchal :P
@@SalPilot Different, but City Airport is awesome!
Now that's a text book landing. Very nice.
I guess it can always get better hehe but thanks!
Great video. I never knew the approach was so steep.

Amazing approach lovely airport thanks Sal pilot
Thanks for watching ;)
This video is so good,I just missed my bus....well..
Great video. I became a little bit nervous watching the video at 4.40-4.50 until it was finally touch down the runway.
Very cool,great scenery!
Superb! thanks for sharing.
Wow awesome approach, it's like the aproach into lga, but only in London...
There are plans for a parallel taxiway so no backtracking required.
Steve Woodhull .Why has it taken so long to have a parallel taxy way installed given the age of the airport? 🤔😁
John Brett. I guess it's down to growth. I read about it in Airports of the World.
Fingers crossed it won't take much longer now...
@@SalPilot 2019 still no taxiway
@@iclicklike3397 lol
What a cool approach.
