Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel. In today's video I discuss the term 'Dangerous' airports. What makes an airport dangerous? Think for example about Airplane Performance, Terrain, Weather conditions and Air traffic control. Some runways are short due to surrounding terrain, they just can’t be any longer. Climb gradients can be high due to surrounding terrain as well, there could be a mountain on the extended centerline.
Thank you so much for watching this video! If you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to comment below and maybe I will be answering your question in the next video. If you liked my video do not forget to SUBSCRIBE and THUMBS UP!

In 1997, I was late for a flight at London City to Rotterdam by VLM. I had to dash across the tarmac and board. I needed to get to the office in Rotterdam by 10am. The plane took off and flew slowly over central London turning at Buckingham Palace. I looked at the passages and noticed they were mostly school children. I thought the worst that I have accidently got on the wrong flight which is a sightseeing trip. The captain started taking about the sights you could see from the aircraft.
After five minutes, the captain announced, today we have schoolchildren aboard, and therefore I wanted to show London to them, we are now off to Rotterdam and I will make up the time. And he did, we arrived a few minutes early.
Loved this seque.
Pre 9/11 flying was something else! I understand this is in the UK, but I imagine protocols have changed since 1997 as well. It was always a treat to have an aviation enthusiast in the cockpit during cruise back in the day :)
She is brilliant. Not because she has so much knowledge but because she is able to share it with the average lay person so that it makes sense. The brilliance is in her teaching ability. Her brain is always three steps ahead like a chess player.
Great way to think about airports being challenging and not dangerous.
No airline employee is gonna show you their doubts
What a beautiful (and probably stressful) approach!
What a beautiful Pilot?!
No, approaching LCY is normally not stressful but you need to be qualified and that takes quite some training! You are not always flying in perfect weather conditions. It is not only challenging due to the steeper 5.5 degrees approach (until approx. 60 feet above the runway) but flying on runway 09 also requires a typical approach with some nice turns over the city (but that's up to the autopilot) and if you must avoid inbound traffic to Heathrow you fly low at 2000 ft. You take manual control at 1000 ft (autopilot cannot handle it) and from there it is straight forward. Glideslope interception is just before Canary Wharf. If you are not used to a steep approach, by default it is rather difficult to orientate, because you are used to a 3 degree slope. It just doesn't comply with what you are used to. I've only flown it in the simulator (Dash8) but being not used to it, must say it ain't easy.
@@francinevanzanten8368 Trust me, there is a stress involved in such steep approach in this size of the airplane. In Dash-8 it is going so fast, London City has pretty short Rwy and it is not really wide either, when you are approaching from Canary Warf side and you need a steeply go down you have power on idle, full flaps, gear down and it still feels like you are accelerating during approach having papi lights on correct glide. I've done it few times and it is always challenging and a bit scary no matter how experienced you are.
If you are not used to something it is automatically making you feel nervous, the lack of possible adjustments to pitch makes you even more nervous. It IS in fact difficult approach!
Michael Ksiezopolski I’m with you on that one.
Michael Ksiezopolski as someone who works in aviation, I really wanted to see the approach to LCY, and I did, in a bad weather. It can be and it was a terrifying experience. I have flown on a Q400, and as a former system engineer, I knew all the problems of that aircraft(flap power fault, hydraulic leaks in the nacelle, lock link issue on NLG, spoiler actuator AD,proximity sensor issues which got worse after introduction of new PSEU).When you have such a steep approach(it is really visible in Q400, it seems like it is falling from the sky), strange flare, and short runway surrounded by water in a bad weather, I believe it is really challenging for a pilot to land there.
Enjoyed hearing just how smart you are when you started explaining complications that might arise based on various factors in second half of video. I know idea difficult for some people to grasp, but I loved every minute of this.
I flew into the old Hong Kong Airport in the 1990's in a 747. It was awesome!!!
Same here it was crazy
rockin and rollin'
yes Kai Tak...here's a simulated approach: th-cam.com/video/Gi9svs-X3rA/w-d-xo.html
Oh man....I'm so jealous! Unfortunately I only know this from the videos on youtube. Kai Tak must have been amazing in real life.
Then they turned it into a cruise ship terminal. I was on the first ship that ever docked there, Mariner Of The Seas, doing a repositioning cruise from Galveston to Shanghai...
I once flew there marking my father's 30th anniversary since returning to his homeland. The year was 1969.
It was a magical time for him since leaving 1939.Connected with his brother and many relatives.
We stayed a month.
Wow so cool to see london from above
The beginning was so satisfying. What a great video. Hope you are doing good, too✌
Yes, it really was, as well as her pretty face in the second part. She is so cute and adorable.
Attila Kiss her accent 🤤
Such a shame being a man! A woman that looks good makes a video about something, and all you guys do is writing about her look or accent... Don‘t you think that she would rather read comments about her work? And by the way, she will daily meet man like you during her work!
Martin Sofka they are allowed to compliment her but I get what your saying we shouldn’t drool over her or make her uncomfortable
Fab Video. Thanks -
One of the best pilot channels out there. I love it! Keep it, girl!
Incredible video. Beautifully edited, lovely graphics, and then thoroughly educated by a brilliant and stunning woman.
nice video maam
The Shard - 72 floors, 6 bars. Glad to see you're keeping track of the important stuff!
Loved this video, I used to work at Reuters in London, our docklands building is directly opposite the millennium dome, loved watching the aircraft fly over us coming into land.
Keep up the brilliant work……
I remember London City airport well. Flew Dash-7 turboprops into the place while it was still an 800metre runway. 7 1/2 degree approach angle. Huge fun.
The flight into London was a spectacular scenic flight and a pretty short runway it is. Your talk on the challenges is reassuring. Nice video.
Never saw London before from the air. Very beautiful.
Let's see you landing in challenging situations.
If you see it from the ground it's not so nice these days. At least it still looks good from the air.
I love this. The music is perfect, so airy, so tranquil. I live in the UK and it’s great seeing London like this. I love the text and text sounds. So James Bond like. I showed my 90 yr old father (who worked 35 years as a crew chief mechanic for American Airlines based at LAX) and his eyes lit up watching you land with crosswinds. You’re doing a fantastic job with your flying videos. Keep them coming.
Your channel is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing these views. Great video!
I'm not even kidding I'd kiss this woman after every skit like I wouldnt be able to help watch her adorable self present herself on cam literally hearts in my eyes 😀
I agree completely
dafuq?!
@@heresjohnny999 dafuq bruh??
Your videos are great. Thank you...
I got lost in London many times but you where right on! Smile! You come along way dear!
Really enjoyable opening to your video. I liked the callouts of some landmarks as well as some notes on what you are doing on approach. Thank you!
I could listen to her all day, every day 😍
She has excellent facial expressions and is so much fun to watch and listen to. I'm no expert on airports or airplanes, but I'm pretty good on what I do or don't like. I like to watch her videos. Very educational and in my opinion, very well done. I think I'm in love.
Hi DutchPilotGirl! I just recently found you on TH-cam and you've immediately shot to the top of my "Must View" videos. Your presentations are very full of life & energy and easily understandable to those of us who are not pilots but fascinated by aviation. This London City landing was beautiful, terrific and amazing. The photography was beautiful, and together with the music, made the whole video dream-like. Please keep the videos coming and hope you are having a great day as well!
What a fantastic and breathtaking view over London. It must be a great landing experience.
Standing ovation
Very interesting video Michelle about the challenges pilots face every day , well done and continued safe flying to you.
I enjoyed that. I am no pilot but i did grow up in East London in the 1970s and remember the London City Airport area as the Royal Docks although they were very run down by then.....
What an excellent video. She does an excellent job of describing everything. She has super facial expressions and she's my favorite pilot for sure.
Yes.
No danger,only challenging.
Smart human can handle any odds.
Your video always the best.
Mind quenching.
Almighty bless you all time.
YOU young lady are AMAZING!!!!!
Amazing video. Short useful information, beautiful Michelle and the approach on the beginning. Thank you Michelle :3
The old Madeira airport was even trickier. On one end the runway ended at a cliff, the other end pointed into a mountain valley. In 1974 I was there 2 times as flight attendant on a Condor 727. Coming in through the winding valley was spectacular, because there was a road on the left side and at times you would fly with the 727 alongside the cars on the road maybe 100 m away. Taking off towards the see was like a carrier takeoff. Short runway that the pilots would taxy to the very beginning, set parking brake, both step on the brake, set TO-power and release the brakes when the aircraft shuddered to break loose. Going over the cliff was phantastic. The other direction was also special. They would taxy right up to the cliff and sitting in the jump-seat I could actually look down (because the front wheel is further back). Then the same brake-TO-power procedure and into the valley.
I only just found this video, Thank you for changing dangerous airports to challenging. Much better. London City Airport, I used to deliver and collect new cars from there when it was the Royal Docks. That very place where the airport is, was where cars from America came, they were the American Embassey staff cars. I would collect them from that dock and take them to the embassey in London.
Excellent information put over is a very pleasurable and watchable manner, thank you
You just reminded me of my trip to Hong Kong many years ago. Of all the airports I’ve been to, looking out the window while we landed at Kai Tak was the most memorable of all.
Hi
Wonderful sight and approach, 💪💪
I like Michelle's accent
YAY THIS WAS MY REQUEST! thanks so much for doing this!!! I enjoyed it keep up the good work
I have watched videos of that airport coming in right off the beach and when that big planes take off those people line up to get hit by the thrust sometimes getting knocked over. I would not think that would be a very good situation with the sand flying everywhere so much for getting your kicks and giggles. Love your videos keep them up Dutch pilot girl.
Thank you so much for that information. It’s very kind of you to explain the factors at play regarding aircraft arrivals & departures. Regards 👍
Outstanding video and annotations.
I spent some time in East Africa in the late 60s and mid 70s (my dad was with the Flying Doctor Service in Kenya), and Kenya Airways was one of the few airlines that insisted on running the otherwise not-very-popular Super VC 10. It was a beautiful plane, and was significantly over-powered.
The enhanced flight performance was essential because Kenya Airways flew to and from a lot of very high altitude/short runway destinations (such as Ethiopia), and the Super VC 10 was (at the time) one of the few planes that could cope.
I know that there are plenty of other high airports around the world, and plenty of other aircraft that can handle the thin air/short runway challenge; I'm just relating my own limited knowledge of things. :-)
(Oh, and the Flying Doctors had nothing to do with Kenya Airways or VC 10s or giant passenger jets - their crazy but brilliant bush-pilots mostly flew Cessnas with souped-up engines to suit the thin air.)
Love it.
Awesome video, love watching your take off & landing vlogs the cockpit views are truly amazing💗😀
the colour grading is beautiful
Thanks dutch pilot girl for this wonderful adventure. By watching this comes my dreams hopefully that oneday I will be a pilot like you.
wow, short runway!!
Cool video. Beautiful approach.
Truly spectacular graphics! Can't wait for FS 2020.
Wow, that beginning brought amazing memories back. It was October 2014, just a few days before I became infected with the aviation virus. 2:45 North Greenwich Station. That place where I watched planes approaching the airport while waiting with my classmates for our pickup. Thank you Michelle
It kinda reminded me of the special report I watched of the Santos Dumont airport in downtown Rio. It's runway is 1200mts. a bridge 🌉 off the 1 end & Sugarloaf mountain on the other end. 737s & A320s come & go daily, but it never ceases to be a challenge!
wow how nice!! the music is awesome. Thanks DPG!!
Prachtige en leerrlijke video. Ik geniet er altijd van. Lots of succes with your work and all the info you share.
Terrific video. That is one short runway for a heavy.
You are without a doubt the most beautiful pilot I have EVER seen. That is all ... by
I tried this exact approach several times in microsoft flight simulator, it's WAY harder than it looks.
Heb echt enorm respect hiervoor, wat een landing
The descent into London City is beautiful on a clear day!
You have quite the office, great choice of music. I'm sure this never gets old. Thank you for posting this!
Damn girl, beautiful video and music. Nicely done. Awesome POV.
I never realised there were so many variables, that's eye opening. Very informative!
Our Embrear E190 of BA made the same appr. for 09 , we could see our hotel , when my grandson and me landed on EGLC from EHRD for a weekend Londen . We had a great time !!
Brilliant London views.
again.... amazing video!! love it, superb job.
Cool you can see the shadow of the plane on landing
Good explanations to some challenging technical material. Great Video.
We love Dutch pilot girl ✈💜👈
Yes! You read my topic suggestion. Fantastic approach, beautiful scenery and wonderful explanations of different approaches in different airports. 👍
YAY THIS WAS MY REQUEST! thanks so much for doing this!!! I enjoyed it keep up the good work
Buttery landing by the way
Beautiful editing. Love the choice of music.
Great opening video. Thank you.
Wow, I didn't remember London looking so snazzy. It's changed so much since I was there 25 years ago. Thank you for your educational and sensational videos. I am glad I subscribed a few days ago.
Did the same flight with my grandson in july 2017 from Rotterdam for a weekend London , you flew over our hotel .
I'm working next to Tivat airport in Montenegro. First you have to "squeeze" in-between two mountains then you come to open area where sea meets mountains. And where sea meets mountains wind is in rock and roll attitude.
You are amazing Pilot...you are an inspiration...
For those not realising London city airport was previously the Royal docks seaport. That runway was where my office was located and vessels would be loaded and discharged around the clock. Hence the waters you are seeing. Ships from around the world would be handled here. I’m talking about the 1950 /60’s London’s main sea port was located at what is now an airport . It was a seaport for a thousand years.
that was excellent!
“You can watch the planes land in st Maarten on the beach and they get so low you can almost touch them, not really but ok.” Lol 😂😂😂😂 Idk why I thought that was so funny how you said that! Haha
Beautiful video. Really beautiful and interesting. Great Michelle.
This was really an amazing video ... Loved it
Thanks for such great information and a beautiful flight to London. I'm going to tighten my seat belt now, bye.
Great opening!
Understanding the fast speech was challenging too ! Great London approach !
Another variable is yourself.
I fly a cessna 172.
Flight plan ottawa International airport to Toronto in 🇨🇦.
I felt fine when i started flying. By about the half way point i felt very ill.
I had to call atc to declare a pan pan pan call and land at the closest runway.
There is so much variables to flying.
I love your channel.
The beginning of this video was SO cinematic. I loved it !
Wonderful, thank you!
Quite a view of London! I did not understand where the airport was until you were on final, but I can see by the landmarks that the camera is pointing out the side somewhat and just missing the approach. Thanks for you work. It is appreciated by many. Henri
London City Airport was originally a dock for ships to bring in supplies being so close to the river Thames, it was closed and was left dormant, the airport was first purpose in the early 80s and it opened in 1987, Having worked at the airport, you can still element of infrastructure of it being used as a dock, you still have the tram lines for the dock yards in the older areas.
@@kd84afc I had not heard any of this. A great story. Thanks
@@henrivanbemmel Part of the reason why it's in such of a built-up area of London and difficult to see.
I flew out of the Airport and rapid ascent is an experience
@@kd84afc In Jan of 1984, I flew out of West Berlin from Tegel on a Pan Am 737. Dunno the rules, but I suspect they had to be at a certain altitude to use the air corridors. Whatever the reason, I thought I was on the space shuttle we climbed so fast. Amazing.
I want to go to St. Maarten just to see the planes come and go!!!! so cool!!!
I like the way you outlined so many factors, each and all of them very important to improve safety; you even mentioned the language factor that affects situational awareness; please keep on that path; you're a gem in all senses!
Such Great Videos TYVM
Michelle, you gave me the biggest smile when you pointed out the tall tower with 6 bars !!! That is the kind of information that is important :-) I forget which airport, but the approach is in a narrow valley, you aim for a big checker board structure and start your base turn there. Great video, beautiful approach, great information on other "fun" airports to fly to. Sometimes it is good to only be able to see out the side window and be totally ignorant about what is looming in the windscreen.
Kai Tak, Hong Kong - no longer in use, but I have been a passenger on a Cathay B744 on that approach in 1996 :)
@@TheAngmarwitch That is the one. Yeah, they closed that around 2000 or so. Barnstorming in a 300 ton jet.
I could have watched that approach all day... magical
P.S. your videos are perfection, the layout, font types, sound effects & presentation.
Setting departure and approach are neat the Fed-Ex cargo pilot.
oh wow.. legit goosebumps.. also great production o,o
The best approach video i have watched in a long time.
So informative... thank you so much.
What a satisfying start. I wish that hadn't ended.
Always loving Aviation and Dutch Girl pilot from LUKLA, NEPAL...
Interesting video👌
