World's most Beautiful Approach? Airbus Visual Approach in Rio
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- The famous visual approach for landing in Santos Dumont airport, considered one of the most challenging approaches in the airliners world. High elevation terrain surrounding the airport, variable winds ,many birds and one of the shortest runways an A320 operates ( 1300 mts )
Cant get tired of this
Was wondering where the runway was for a minute there lol.
Me too, I thought, is this a seaplane... Lol
@@craigie13 Hahaha. I have been living in Rio since birth. For the past ~15 years, been working in one of those buildings underneath this video, from where you can follow the whole approach with your eyes. So I knew exactly where the runway was BUUUT I'll admit that I noticed, it will only appear to you at the very end!
Also, the right-hand pilot complains somewhat of the vultures in the way. "Opa opa opa -- ... desgraça" i.e. "whoa whoa whoa - ... aw nuts".
Same...🤷🏽♀️
Me too lol 😂
I was looking for an aircraft carrier.
Visited Rio in 1983 while in the Navy aboard the USS John F Kennedy CV-67. Still remember the trip like it was yesterday. One of the most beautiful cities that I’ve ever seen.
Many things change in my city. To 1983 from now.
Never been there, mayb one day
I'm agree with you .....i began to know Brazil since 2019 ....and now i 'm retirement ,and i have plan Aug 2023 travel to beautiful Brazil .......

I think that s pretty cool Sunshine Shoulders Almost 40 years ago right ?
Someone from Rio once described Santos Dumont to me as the world's largest aircraft carrier.
That's true! without tailhook, barricade or barrier.
Lol hahaha, that's what it is
Nice airport has entered the chat
Perfect description.
Runway with 1300 meters and the auxiliary 1200.
Not only the most beautiful approach, but the most beautiful city. And for its size I can’t think of any other city I felt safer in despite the bad propaganda. Utterly awesome.
I'm happy you had a great time in Rio. As a Brazilian myself, I can assure you: there is some propaganda, but some reality too. Unfortunately. I have only good things to say about Rio, but some of my friends have gone through bad experiences, such as being mugged or assaulted. But you're right! No wonder why we call it "A cidade maravilhosa" (The wonderful city).
👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
You can't be serious haha, it's a warzone. And i'm brazilian, i have a lot of brazilian fellas who are from Rio, left that place and are never going back, it is LITERALLY a warzone.
not only the most beautiful approach or either the most beautiful city but the most beautiful mountains with beautiful city
That's Santos Dumont Airport, only for domestic flights. It's not an easy one.
Hey
Hi
"Am a big cock." There, fixed it for you.
I'll never forgot this approach in the airplane way back when I was a young boy of 8 and along with my dad and the rest of the family, we were beginning our relocation to this amazing city. This view is still vivid decades later. Thanks for posting this.
A beautiful approach, but a very busy landing pattern, and absolutely no room for error or room to spare on the runway!
At least you can go around. And the runway is long enough, you could stop in a much shorter distance. Think of all the safety margins for the landing distance calculations....
In Lukla you really have absolutely no room for error, there you can't just go around.
@@Jet-Pack Well there was a pilot who made it, there's even a video of it, but it didn't look safe at all
Yes. You're right. But consider that in the 40 last years there is ZERO accidents. I have to say, in the last accident, when a plane felt into the Guanabara's Bay (1.972) there were no deaths. If you came to land at Santos Dumont, just enjoy the beauty.
Paul, that's why Santos Dumont airport is nicknamed "aircraft carrier" by Brazilian pilots
Made famous in the James Bond film “Moonraker”.
I'm no expert, but the runway appears to be a bit short?
Yes it is. Only 1300 metres or 4265.092 feet. (Because in aviation everything is in feet). That length is very short for an A320
@@CharlieND Wow! I Googled my local airport, LAG, cos I know their runways are considered dangerously short, and discovered they're 7000 feet. That's still considerably longer than this.
@@CharlieND it's a a319. A320s don't operate at that airport.
Ziggmanster 4341 feet for RWY 02R
It is short, actually.
Been on sugar loaf mountain and Christ the reedemer Magnificent views over Rio cruised there not flew.
Vc já esteve no Rio de janeiro ?
0:48 Avoiding bird strike
This is one of the most challenging landings for Airbus-320/Boeing-737 family in Brazil; the runway has only 1200 meters!
Wow. That was one of the smoothest, lightest landings I've ever seen a pilot do on a jetliner.
Considering how short the runway is, even more amazing.
This was some masterful flying on part of the pilots.
Scott Bridge This airport is used for domestic flights, for international flights the Galeão international airport is used with a four-kilometer runway.
Thinking the same... "Like buttah"
Imagine that a City this beautifull from above can hold so much misery, death and sadness on the ground....
Pede Meyer very true brasil is extremely filthy poor infrastructure bad economy extremely racist I’ve been there twice and I’m over it oh yeah as far as beautiful yes they have them but don’t let that fool you that obesity rate is around the same as you USA very high!!!!
I am an American that has a home in Rio de Janeiro. The crimes make this country Ugly... People rob, murder you in cold blood. I been going there for 20years. It continues to get worse.
@@eZmiles "People rob, murder you in cold blood" And the difference with the US is?
Why don't you stay in Cleveland?
25% of Rio's populations lives in "favelas" (Shanty towns)
Rio de Janeiro, con su magia, una de las ciudades mas lindas del mundo!
Not a lot of room for an error...
Not supposed to have anyway
Actually there is airport is clear at both ends terrain wise, a go around is always available
To me, the world's most beautiful approach is the one you fly when you're landing at your home airport...lol
Ewww. No
You've not been to Rio obviously.
So beautiful!❤️
Impressive landing skills!
What is impressive about this ? This is normal everyday stuff. It would be fitting if you said that aircraft is impressive machinery.
It looks so beautiful when you can't see all the murders on the ground
Most of the murders occur on the favelas, barely never on the rich part of the city, where the rich people lives.
You've lost the chance to remain silent
Rio is not as dangerous as Saint Louis, Baltimore, Saint Louis or Detroit!
Flew into Santos Dumont Airport from Sao Paulo six years ago. Different approach over the sea but breathtaking! For me the most beautiful City in the World.
Yeah, we flew in a small twin-engine Piper Navajo CR back in the mid eigthies, gorgeous approach no matter which way you enter the City, it's just out of this world.
Usually, youtube videos have titles claiming to be "world's most ____" or "the best ____ ever" , or "5 top ___"
Well, to my point of view, this is worlds most beautiful approach. Indeed.
^This MUST be the worlds most accurate comment ever created in history of all time in the universe. MUST SEE FOR YOURSELF (no clickbait!!!111)
Me too!!! :)
Departures, (take off) are also wonderfull.
The most Spectacular combination of Nature and Urban Place on Earth.😍
Those birds came really close at 0:48!
The pilots said: " Oh, oh. Damn birds, there are more ahead. There are a lot more.
MarcosVB thanks!
@@m4rcosvb Was just going to say the same thing. Big birds too! Frigate Birds.
@@m4rcosvb ... I thought that the "Opa, opa!" was an aural birds warning :D (not really)
@@adb012 lol, "opa" is commonly used here as a surprise expression but some people (like me :D) also use it as a greeting
0:46 Close call! Good on the pilots for noticing the birds
Christ the Redeemer's spirit surely was guiding those pilots
"Dentro de mais um minuto estaremos no Galeão"
To me a very unusual approach. I've been to Rio de Janeiro at least 15 times and the usual approach is across Guanabara Bay and the Niterio bridge...yes, it all about wind direction
You've landed at the galeão international Airport. This landing ocurred at the Santos Dumont regional Airport.
@@JVinholi no, this is Santos Dumont, but have 2 tipes or approach, 02R or 20L.
The approach in the video is approach of 02R. The approach passing from the Bridge is the 20L
From that high up you can't see all the murder. Nice.
Exactly!
True. A beautiful Country but with a sky high crime rate. Sad.
Rio (and other big cities) have a lot of drug-related crimes, and can be very dangerous, but the beaches are beautiful and you can research places NOT to go and great ones to visit. I always took an aerial tour with a local pilot since I am a GA pilot and love to see the mountains (Sugar Loaf) and beaches (Ipanema and others) by air. The mountain and harbor are beautiful from the air. I went to Carnival years ago but would not do it now, due to the crime rate during that festival.
Only idiots like you were murdered in Rio in the last year.
@@BValle-yd4en sometimes the truth hurts. Insult him all you want but he is right.
Beautiful, straight down the middle. Incredible approach, and nice how you can hear the engines throttle up and down behind the cabin noise, a bit more power in that final turn.
Do pilots realize what a beautiful job they have/
not just beautiful but important job.
Taunter Atwill Yeah, we do.
Very nice.
Awkward however that they should make the approach coming over the city instead of over the sea.
Noise is not an issue in Rio i guess.
It depends on the wind direction, you can see that the wind it's almost straight into the nose of the acft
@@pedrodeabreufreire1920 Yes i understand that but still. Why not making the turn overhead te sea and having the same runway?
From this video appears to be just water on the other side, but you have some islands over there with buildings. Anyway in terms of noise you find some airports way worse than this.
My thoughts exactly.....why is the approach over land, beach and the marina when you can equally make a right base turn over the ocean which will not cause any unnecessary noise pollution to the city.
Cause there is just a much bigger airport next to this, the other airspace is used for that more important airport.
Hello! Would it be possible to use a clip from this wonderful video in a documentary? Please let me know. Thank you.
Bianca Cervantes Hi Bianca, of course you can use it. Please send me the link when it’s done so I can watch
Brilliant how these guys navigate and so cool to watch and what a view I would so much love to see Rio it so beautiful!
For everyone's info, this airport is mostly used for domestic flights. Many people like it because it's so close to downtown.
However, Rio's international airport is some 30km away, in the Guabanaba Bay.
It has 2 runways, 3 and 4 km long. This one is 1.26 km, less than HALF the lenght of the shortest runway at Galeão International Airport.
19.6 km away.
Valeu RP
So they don’t get a billet in their head on the highway to the international airport.
@@slippery_slobber A billet? Or a bullet? And yeah, the risk is real. As a Brazilian myself, I can tell you that!
Fantastic. Loved that video! Muito legal!
Stunning footage landing into a most spectacular city- thanks!
This is a terrible place. The only good thing about Rio is actually featured in this video. Otherwise it's a total shit hole. You will definitely be either raped, robbed, kidnapped, or murdered if you're foreign and here long enough.
@@Jeepsteve1982 Sorry to hear this. Thanks for the warning to be careful.
Beautiful city, beautiful landing.
0:46 lol damn birds (pilot be like: ahhh disgraziedos)
The most beautiful natural geographic setting for a city.
Cape town is better
Beautiful approach and smooth landing onto 02R (reverse ops due to wind?). With such a short runway you need to "stick" the landing and this guy made it look easy. One of my favorite challenging airports to fly into on FSX, except I don't know if I have ever tried it from that direction landing 02R.
I would think the prefer pattern would be into the 20 L/R runways, this final is so tight, it's crazy
Am I the only one looking for Roach, Ghost and Soap going through the favela trying to capture Rojas? Only me? ok.
I'm with you bro
Beautiful! I found approach to Hong Kong airport equally beautiful as well.
One word AMAZING

Rio (2011)
Concordo com a beleza deste aproach. Mas há 2 outros que são especialmente bonitos: Queenstown, no sul da N. Zelândia (ZQN) numa paisagem de montanhas e lagos, e Sydney, Austrália (SYD). Este tem semelhança com o SDU pela proximidade (e beleza) da baía de Sydney.
"Opa-opa" @0.46 in professional pilots jargon means " two birs ahead" ....... JK:)
When I flew into Rio De Janeiro I went to Galeao airport instead - and it was night time. So I didn't see any of this.
This is Santos Dumont Airport, that serves only for domestic flights. Galeao is international airport.
@@fernandocesar6626 I flew in from Sao Paulo - which is a domestic flight. So I could have used either airport.
The surrouding area of Galeão is quite ugly to be fair
Thank you. Yes it is the most amazing approach in the world. Been there done it. (not as a pilot).
when working in Brazil. fulfilling a childhood dream. Cheers. Fica frio.
Ah, Santos Dumont. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
It sure is a beautiful city... I would love to go back and visit again someday. But the crime from the favelas puts a major damper on it for me. I don't like having to worry about getting mugged when I'm on vacation.
That is very pretty, nearly a sight-seeing flight, approaching Sydney is normally pretty as well, the harbour, the bridge, opera house, of course then you are in the airport, the worst airport experience I have ever had. I try to avoid Sydney to leave/enter the country, evrything is slow and/or late!!!!!!
What a stunning approach!
OMG YOU'RE HERE
FO and did this approach some time ago. Gorgeous but not as much as the women! Even the cheapest hooker looks entirely edible! Brazil ❤
Most beautiful approach?? Garbage......Innsbruck, Queenstown just off the top of my head.
Quiero visitar esta ciudad.
The landscape is nice but the buildings are ugly. Approach into Ibiza airport is nicer.
You have to get down quickly here. Notice on almost all videos you see of this approach, the 50 feet callout is before the threshold. Floating on the flare is not viable here. You have to get the wheels on terra firma and the spoilers out well before a third distance down the runway. Both directions are difficult for different reasons, but both usually require steep turns well under 1000 feet, and this one has the turn completed at only 400 feet! Kudos to the captains who fly this approach daily.
Ordinary people may not realize how demanding it is to make such a sharp turn under such low altitude (calling out 500 feet in the turn) and low airspeed. When flying low and slow, you don't have full control over the aircraft (i.e., the plane is not as sensitive and fast-responding to inputs as with a faster airspeed), and the risk of stalling is high. In order to make that sharp 180-degree turn, the plane needs to bank with a really wild angle, which will cause the airspeed and lift force on the wings to drop even more. This can potentially lead to a stall in which the plane falls out of the sky. Due to the low altitude, there is simply no time for recovery. In order to make the turn safely, you have to constantly monitor the airspeed and altitude and increase the throttle if necessary. Another challenge is that you have to line up perfectly with the runway when you finish the turn, which demands precise aileron and rudder control. You don't want to approach the runway with an angle, right? In addition to that, we have a very short runway on which you have to land early in order to come to a stop without overrunning into the water. So you probably have to go extra slow with full flaps and fly at the edge of stalling. Moreover, you cannot land too hard for the sake of the comfort of the passengers, so you may have to hit the runway with the perfect combination of airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed. Despite all these, the pilot managed a pretty soft landing on this short runway in the video, which was quite impressive to me.
Lindo! O Brasil é um dos países mais bonitos do mundo.
E um dos países com maior criminalidade e corrupção. 😡🤑🤡😠😈☹️
@@ThomasJr Sim, mas isso não se aplica a mim. Cada qual que coma daquilo que gosta. E Portugal em comida faz inveja a muitos países. Também há muitos brasileiros cá que não querem ir mais para o Brasil, também comentam que há muita violência, corrupção e criminalidade, e que é o fim do mundo. 🙁😶😐😈
@@luispatricio5919 Grande merda Portugal, o pais mais mediocre e invisível da Europa. Conheço brasileiros que tentaram mudar prai, nao gostaram, e voltaram pro Brasil. Eles nao acharam ai melhor que o Brasil, e de fato nao eh. Brasil eh moderno, avançado, portugal eh uma roça .
@@ThomasJr E se eu lhe disser que já estou farto desta merda há muitos anos! Desemprego, corrupção, políticos de merda, baixos salários. Mas uma coisa é certa , Portugal é bonito, Lisboa por exemplo. A comida é boa, mediterrânica. Mas eu vou fazer tudo para mudar ou emigrar. Tudo de bom.😐
E cheio de miséria e corrupção.
We had the same nice approch befor our hollidays in Brasil Exellent! Beautiful

Smooth! Stop by Arkansas on your next trip and get me!👍🙏
Such a Smooth Landing😍😍😍😍
Looked like a feather landing! Is that Rio?
River Visual approach in Washington DC is better!!!!
Damn what a scary short airport runway. It reminds me of my trips to the tiny Micronesian islands in the Pacific rim.
Emelio Salazar This airport is used for domestic flights, for international flights the Galeão international airport is used with a four-kilometer runway.
Magnifique ! Probablement la plus belle approche du monde ! Mais il faut être un pilote adroit car le Pain de sucre est juste dans l'axe de la piste.
I flew into Santos Dumont quite often during the 1980's via the Ponte Aerea (Air Bridge) on a Varig Lockheed Electra. The landings were usually the other way (towards Pao de Acucar) and were a bit nerve wracking especially in bad weather. Their service was every 20-30 minutes and was walk- on and walk- off with no allocated seating. We used to go to the tail of the aircraft where they had lounge type seating parallel to the body of the aircraft facing each other. Not sure if they still fly the Electras.
No, we don't use Electras anymore for at least 20 years, and Varig no longer exists.
Buffalo Air in NWT uses one...TV show here in Canada...
I would say no. Depends on what you consider beautiful. While I do enjoy that view... I don't prefer buildings/boats/etc. I would prefer nature. So no, this is not the most beautiful approach :), for me.
Are you blind? There was a lot of nature in the views.
holy hell. only 4500 ft. I agree. One of the toughest and most beautiful approach. Looked like about 150 degree bank for final.
Dave Elmy This airport is used for domestic flights, for international flights the Galeão international airport is used with a four-kilometer runway.
In addition to this Airport Santos Dumont for smaller aircrafts to land and take off - that name considered locally to be the father of aviation, Rio has another longer International Airport for bigger aircrafts to land and take off. Certainly with a more required extension for eventual errors of which I have no news of occurrence!
This approach is not allowed anymore. Santos Dumont is surrounded by residential areas, as seen in the video. A new and not less beautiful approach is specified in this IAC: ais.decea.gov.br/download/?arquivo=40d926e0-79b8-11e6-a11f-00505680c1b4&apikey=1587263166. Source: I live in Rio and know about Nautical /Aeronautical procedures, one by studying to get a license and the other one by loving simulators, haha
As I understand that the only Airbus allowed to land here is the A319.

The best feeling in the world when a plane lands thank you almighty
I'm curious because I work in fuel efficiency...
...was that a Flaps 4 landing? Is Flaps 3 impossible due to the short runways? I can see that a Idle Reverse is certainly not possible.
For every landing we check on the QRH the landing distance assesment to determine the landing configuration, flaps 3, autobrake low is the preferred choice for fuel savings, but obviously at short runways like this one we have to opt for a flaps full landing
The planes that land in Santos Dumont have brakes specially designed by Boeing and Airbus.,
0:49 Ah desgraceira... os pássaros que o digam...
No way. Not even close to the most beautiful.
I think people are wrong by searching for THE MOST beautiful things. Its easier when you dont think in rankings.
Very smooth landing.
I guess I'll sit on the left side if I ever go to Rio de Janeiro.
This isn’t the main airport. You land at a different one when coming on a larger carrier.
@@danielgloverpiano7693 , thanks for the info. I'll make sure to switch planes for this view
@@PaliAha you’re most welcome. This airport is very similar to Washington National Airport, as opposed to Dulles. You would have to take a Brazilian airline on a domestic flight to fly in here. That being said, the view from the top of Sugarloaf is just as spectacular and a must if you go to Rio. You take a perilous cable car ride to the top. It’s hard to believe there’s a platform up there with a cafe, etc. But there is. I wish Rio were a safer city. There’s a lot of poverty, which causes street crimes. You have to watch your back at all times, and your wallet. It’s not as safe as Buenos Aires. I hope you can get there some day. Santiago is also a gorgeous city surrounded by mountains.
@@danielgloverpiano7693
That's Rio's domestic airport. The international is bigger.
Wales is such a beautiful country

Sincera Gratidão a todos Vocês....
Viva o nosso Rio de Janeiro.
I flew in there a couple of times for the Carnival, the approach is gorgeous with Sugar Loaf in the distance, other than that, it's just another big city on the ocean, but it has a couple of nice beaches and a great song about one of them (Ipanema!) As a GA pilot, I thought it was a bit tricky landing there due to some hazards (like a bird strike, a short runway and busy traffic), but pilots usually handle it well, if they come in and out of there often.
It sure is good to know that the "pilots USUALLY handle it well." That sure is comforting.
@@georgesealy4706 That, my friend, means that things are almost always routine so it's no big deal, but many unexpected things can happen in aviation. In the case of airlines, passengers rarely know about it but when things are NOT routine, due to weather or any malfunction of the airport equipment, or the aircraft itself, or the ATC rarely makes mistakes but all those thing CAN happen. Sometimes things look good and then something happens and missed approaches must be made, go-arounds (aborted landings) must be made, and it's usually handled very because they practiced all kinds of things in the flight simulator and can deal with it well. But humans are not perfect and rarely mistakes are made. Pilot error is STILL the cause of 85% of airline crashes. Thankfully most know how to handle emergencies and they get the aircraft down and sometimes passengers don't even know there was an incident, the pilot merely tells them "we'll be delayed a bit" Air travel is still the safest way to travel so don't worry about it.
@@MJLeger-yj1ww Thanks for your reply. I was being a little bit joking with my comment. I have the highest regard for the job that pilots do. In fact, I find it amazing that with the thousands of flights daily that there are so few accidents.
@@georgesealy4706 Thanks, George, it's hard to imagine, but stats say that at any one minute in the day, there are more than 120,000 people in the air! There's certainly more people traveling by air than ever before, and more aircraft, so that is often the reason for the delays at the airports, along with weather sometimes and aircraft mechanical delays but those are in the minimum, pilots know the weather because they all have radar right in their panel in the flight deck now!
@@MJLeger-yj1ww - You are not wrong, but this airport is (will be) celebrating 47 years with no casualties.
...oh I was offered the USN/Brazil exchange officer position at the Brazilian Naval Acadamy about 24 years ago. Did I take it? No. Why? NOBODY TOLD ME IT WAS IN RIO (TO THE RIGHT OF THE ARPT).
I was a midshipman at the Brazilian Naval Academy, that's situated near this airport. Vary near!
More than this Pancho, the american consulate is also near the airport, and many others Brazilian's Navy Activities. The Naval Academy is an old historical fort, Villegaignon's Island. a very beautiful turistic point. I wish you have an opportunity to know there, some day, when you would come to Brazil.
@@LEUTER2 Villegagnon Island is the begining of Rio city, in 1565. It was occupied by a french Admiral, Nicolau Durand de Villegagnon. The Academy was built over an ancient fort built by the portuguese in 1767.
One day I'll go and see Rio ❤️
And will be welcome, for sure.
Me too
And I'll never leave...
Beautiful views! Thanks for uploading!
Short runway
But safer than many others.
I couldn't help thinking about the bird's view as they're swirling around and this giant metal raptor comes screaming into their space.
Damn they could have made that runaway a bit longer, couldn't they?
At the time they did it, it was not necessary, and, since 1.945, Rio de Janeiro has an International Airport in the Governor's Island (Aeroporto do Galeão) - 5.000m (16.393ft) long.
GORGEOUS!!
Very beautiful indeed! Though it brought to mind how Rio is for many of its residents an extremely rough and tumble metropolis. It brings to mind an observation by Jimi Hendricks, “Good and evil lay side by side while electric love penetrates the sky.” PWG
It does not look easy to land there. Low flight path, sharp turn, runway right on the waters edge.
*Only experienced pilots can land in such a short runway !*
Only captain can takeoff and landing there. The first office aren't allowed to do it and Congonhas airport in São Paulo state too.
Stunning video 👍👍. Subscribed
Its funny to hear what they say and understand. when they complain about birds arriving before turning
They said "opa, opa', that means, 'ops! ops!'; easy to understand.
Why loop around the city? I'm sure the city can here the plane! Beautiful though! And a real smooth landing!
Definitely scenic!
That was amazing. Great footage.
O Rio de Janeiro é lindo demais.
Smooth touch:) lovely landing
This is beautiful, as is the northern approach into Sydney over the harbor and CBD, but Nepal has both beat for sheer beauty with some airport’s built on the sides of mountains with Himalayan peaks all around. Pilots need a lot of skill and huge courage there, but it is magnificent.
damn that's a short runaway LOL
The "safest" short runway, we must to say. :)
This airport is used for domestic flights, for international flights the Galeão international airport is used with a four-kilometer runway.
Damn they came pretty close to a bird strike at 0:50
Talk about a short landing strip, blink and your in the ocean.
