Such an interesting route. The normal instrument approach takes you way up north. It appears this flight was done completely visual while weaving through the mountains, which is highly unusual for a part 121 carrier, but super cool.
@@GerardiAviation For sure. The mountains are way too close to be IFR. Because of the terrain, the instrument approach only gets you down to about 3000 anyway. So you might as well do it VFR.
Yeah. I checked my Navigraph maps like crazy to find this instument approach with no luck. The ones that exist have crazy high minima and take you north as you said. Is this even possible to do commercial flights in VFR with cat C aircraft?
WOW!!!! Id love to go trip hopping a few cities someday.

Yeah, this route has to be done almost VFR completely with the mountains. I can’t even doing this instrument wise with the mountains

@@horvath83 a contact approach is the first thing that comes to mind, maybe?
@@keithrickson8522 Maybe… yet there is still no IFR route from the south. Maybe they cancel IFR immediately after Wrangell’s SID?
Brilliant! Great video!
Awesome views!
Thank you! I just wish the rest of the legs of that trip were that nice
Muy buenos aviones tiene está compañía felicidades desde huatabampo sonora
Cruising at 1500 ft the fuel burn must of been super HIGH compared to what he would be burning at 39,000 ft.
Oh I’m sure of that, but on a flight that short the burn is probably high anyways cause of the quick up and down
Vi no Flightradar que o Boieng 737-700 é bem usado nesta rota.
E muita gasolina!
