- Recordings from the cockpit of my flight from St. Maarten to St. Barts recorded with Gopro Hero 4 Black mounted on 2 way Gimbal, Roger Hodge was kind enough to contribute in a small video clip after landing where Roger talks about Twin Otter aircraft. So many thanks to Winair and their skilled pilots, a pleasure to fly with this company.

The captain wears that glove like a boss
I like this pilot, his cockpit gestures are great, he knows his plane inside and out, and that was an impressive landing. A+
That's one hell of a final approach. Hats off to the pilots.
the driving aeroplane is that not simple but landing is very simple but Sunny do not funny subscribe this words
By far, my new favorite aviation video!
True aviators, piloting a nice Twin Otter... The Captain style, really badass! It is evident all the experience he has flying over the Caribbean, in the real old school way!
Hope I can take a fly with him as the Pilot!
This captain is so badass he doesn't need props to fly. He is simply using the throttle to control the fan for his badassness.
What struck me was the easy coordination between pilots during checklist procedures like pre-takeoff, pre- & post-landing and shutdown. A thoroughly professional team with that vital ingredient, they work well together. Excellent video thanks.
yup . really smooth team work
Plus they have tons of practice since they are island hopping most of the time they are constantly going through the checklist
Awesome! That landing was so gorgeous, I simply had to watch it few more times.
Hands on flying like a real pro. Nice landing.
What a pros. They made it seem like the flight landed by itself.
The Captain and First Officer handle that take-off and landing like absolute bosses. If a crisis arose I am confident both have balls of steel to handle any eventuality.
Best footage of a Twin Otter, just love the sound of those engines... really grunty. Great flying too by some amazingly humble pilots. Well done guys... wish I could have the privilege of flying with you (if I ever win Lotto!).
+David Stewart Hope you win the Lotto, and visiting St. Maarten and not least a flight with Winair to St. Barth, I have booked apartment and airline ticket so the 178 days I am back on St. Maarten and I should certainly out and fly a trip to St. Barth again :-)
Great pilot.Fantastic landing at St.Barths!
Oh my gosh awesome! These pilots rock! Loved every second of this thrilling ride! Awesome awesome pilots!!!
Great flying by very skilled and experienced pilots!
I've been down in that area for months. I don't think there is another place on earth that is more beautiful.
That´s a fscinating approach and landing. Especially the final part down the hill, parallel to the road traffic.
Dehavilland DHC 6-300 series twin otter, made in Canada (Bombardier
Aerospace) Shown in this video is the much older model with analog
gauges, pre:1998 :-) many airline companies have replaced the older dhc-6 with the Q-400 model with modern technologies and glass cockpit, also made in Canada by Bombardier Aerospace.
There are some otters with a glass cockpit, but there is no Q400 variant.
That seems like the kind of pilot I'll be, focused yet chilled. Amazing stuff and in my favorite prop :)
This was a fantastic video all around. Like others mentioned, the camera angles, sounds, exposures are all perfect... but most importantly, watching professionals like this is really a treat. you can tell these guys are so comfortable in this piece of equipment.. it's almost like their just managing the sequencing of their leg movements while taking a walk through the park.. totally natural, automatic, and effortless. thanks for the upload.
Thank you
epic mustache and awesome landing! loved this video
+PhlyDaily yeah great landing! Do you have a pilot licence too? I only know you from your warthunder vids :D
+PhlyDaily Dead right ;-)

Eepicmus5ach3andawesome land
Iing! Love dthisvideo
I love it that in this plane the props are moved inside the cockpit, that way the pilots can monitor them without having to turn around!
😂 good one!
Love seeing a flight crew working together. Always considered a pilot to be the ultimate professional! I may be biased however as I retired 4 years ago from a 40 yr/20,000 hour flying career ;)
ugh! You part timer !
The capt is one with the Otter. Very professional. Good work, guy's!
The glove on the left hand of the captain.....fabulous! 😂👍
that was the smoothest landing I have ever see
pilot owns that flight....great job
Awesome video. Thanks very much. What a charming Captain
Thank you, yes Roger is a charming Captain and very skilled
I've flown in Twin Otters many times and really like them. The engine sound is great too.
that runway sure is one hell job but the pilot made it look like a regular runway....amazing pilot.
hii
Love love love that landing! Coasting in and then BOOM dip it right over the hill and set her down on the tarmac. Brilliant flying
Yes, it's incredible... for just a moment one is staring at the concrete runway and black tire marks.
Wow, looks like he used very little thrust reverse when he touched down. That's amazing on that runway.
Those propellers in the cockpit sure can move that aircraft pretty fast.
Absolute top notch video
ian neil Thanks!
Good piloting! I'd have caught my hand in that fan several times!!!
Hi
I love this video. Thank you for putting time into recording such an amazing video. I appreciate that
I LOVE this video - the sound is spectacular! ♥
Thank You!
There's a man that knows his plane. Joy to watch him hitting all those switches without even looking.
Smooth!! Great Video, thank you for sharing it with us! :)
+FSAUDIOGUY Thanks
Nice cockpit view! I gave a thumbs up to this video!!!
The Airplane Guy Thanks :-)
Twin otter is one hell of an aircraft. You can take it down almost everywhere, and with a bit of wind you can almost turn it into a VTOL.
One of my all time favorite aircrafts. It is a simple, robust and straight forward aircraft without any “bling”. It is a proper tool for a proper pilot.
A pleasure watching these pros at work.
That was a pretty damned exhilarating landing!
I've have been on that flight with only my wife and I aboard on a very windy day. It was amazing. Nice video, sir.
+Pete Watson Thanks, yes, it is a fantastic flight, visiting St. Maarten again in six months, decided for another trip to St. Barth :-)
very professional pilot .. a one hand landing
God bless every pilot in the world what a great people I love you guys "if you ask me to wash your feet at any given time I am happy to do it" what I mean is you give your life to for your passengers you guys amazing 😀 thanks so much for camera man and r
Not many people record the pilots doing the engine checks on the first flight of the day like that. Cool to see.
+T McGee Thank You
I've landed at St. Barth at least 20 times in the 80's and 90's (as a passenger on vacation of course). My ex wife was wealthy and loved flighing almost as much as I do. The Winair pilots were the best and their Twin Otters were the best planes. Sometimes they were able to exit at the first taxiway!
St Barts is so beautiful but its airport is a NIGHTMARE!!
They made it look really easy though :-P
I agree. A great video. The captain seems like a good sport.
Beautiful! Great pilots
Those pilots are on another level....I’m full of admiration for their skills. Dam they’re good 👍
The Engines on this aircraft is amazing!
PT6A-27 engines ;-)
Simply put....... these guys are Pro's. Great video.
Kevin Braden Yes, thank you !
No wild power fluctuations on the captain's landing---smooth transition from approach to landing.
Can't stop watching this
Thank you
Excellent landing
Thanks 4 sharing this amazing video. Impressive runway. The Twin Otter19 makes the job with perfection.
+flygwada971 Thanks
thank you for the trip !
Thanks for the very nicely done video Kurt. The high resolution is so easy on the eye! I'd love to fly to this beautiful part of the world someday and fly some planes too :)
+v1rotait Thank You
these two gentlemen are aviators..not just pilots..
+Vic Villena Yes, correct :-)
+Kurt Panduro (pandurovideo) hi
.... true... you can tell by their attitude and manner of speech.... I'd sit down with them for a drink and conversation... (and I DON'T do that with a LOT of people...)
pilots are aviators!!! A balloon driver is a aviator also
Vic Villena kak comment
Very Nice Gents. Will have to try that route in the Otter.
Great video!
+Scott Lich Thanks
Yassss roughriders
Scott Lichllq
Great video. St. Barts landings are always awesome. Great teamwork. Kudos. Thanks for sharing.
+javacup912 Thank You
Damn...I thought was easy to land but hell, gotta hold the airplane, level up, control speed, find the right altitude...damn...and heading in the runaway....damn...gotta brake too...and the guy did it watching the landscape!!!
@Frank Bennett chill
@Frank Bennett Looks like he put the props into Beta Range (flat) at 16:48, but not much reverse thrust if any. That plane can land in 800 feet near gross weight.
Damn!------
Just did this last July
Great trip, Had lots of fun
Thanks for the video
+jasason10 You're welcome
Need to turn on the propeller synchronization on the interior fans lol.
+Bowzer Haha xD
Bowzer
Yeah.. I was thinking about that... LOL
ดีนะทำไทลอนขับโทนดู

Coolest pilot and co pilot duo ever
Just amazing, these guys know their affair!!!
That pilot was as cool as a cucumber landing at the world's 3rd hardest runway. Great video!
Excellent video and nice landing. I wonder why the
Dehaviland engineers decided to mount the throttle quadrant on the overhead panel?
captmoonbeam I believe the reason they mounted the throttle quadrant on the overhead panel is because of space reasons, as the cockpit is quite small.
captmoonbeam It looks like with the flight yoke taking up all the floor space between pilot and co-pilot, there weren't many other options?
captmoonbeam Thanks
DHC-3 Twin Otter , if you want the name of aircraft : )
Macaco Macacão All landings are one hand landings from a Cessna to 747, etc.. One hand always on the throttles.
Thanks for sharing, I love to fly and this was a great real world view! =)
Nice landing.
GREAT video!! This pilot knows that airport well, obviously.
It's amazing how they managed to fly that plane with just those little propellers.
Must be very strong turbo props!
WHAT?
Brilliant video, classic DH yoke and cockpit, great views and great flying - those cooling fans look like they could bite though!😄😄😄 I could have listened to more from the captain, fascinating people these types of pilots, very skilled.
Wow really nice video!
Ghostman113 Thanks.
hii
Really well done! Basically the rest of us pilots have no excuses whatsoever!
Now this is flying skills
Beautiful landing!
Someone made a mistake, the propellers are supposed to be on the outside of the plane ;-)
Yes...and they are so bloody loud...
Could be one of those homemade fans, they just added on after the pilots find out it is too hot inside their cockpit. The aircraft manufacturer forgot to have air conditioning for them. Maybe?
@@thangquocnguyenmdp No twin otters have those from the manufacturer. No AC, just those little fans.
A-Freindly-Fish..... the manufacturer thinking...... WHILE UP IN THE SKY THE TEMPERATURES ARE ALWAYS. COLD so, NO AIR CONDITIONING IS NEEDED. OR MAYBE THE PILOTS JUST ROLL DOWN THEIR WINDOWS just for a little ..... ha ha ha ha
A_Friendly_Fish Yeah, I’m guessing you’re right about the lack of AC. I work as a Flight Attendant with Virgin and like most people in my profession, I had to fly with a couple of smaller airlines and work my way up. You can really tell which aircraft have AC and the ones that are like ovens. I remember my first time working as cabin crew, it was on a Fokker 50 and damn, some journeys were absolutely cooking.
Nowadays though, I work long-haul flights usually on a 747-400 but sometimes I get to fly on the awesome 787-9 aircraft - it’s easily the most comfortable to work on. Huge crew cabin with comfy beds, big TV with an Xbox but best of all, brilliant air conditioning ✌️
Really impressive video ! =)
+F4R3LL1 Thanks!
Kurt Panduro htt
Thank you!
awesome video,on of my faves and a more detailed birds eye view of the cockpit and pilots procedures.
Nat Turner Thank you, am pleased you like my video.
Twin Engine Otter....still being produced in Victoria, BC. Canada under license by Viking Air.. Lots of worldwide sales as a result of the proven history of durability and great flight characteristics. Daily harbour to harbour float variants of the Otter flying hourly between Vancouver and Victoria for years on end.
Captain to the cameraman: "Coming into land,hold my beer"
! ! ! OUTSTANDING ! ! !
! ! ! GREAT CREW COORDINATION ! ! !
! ! ! NICE & SMOOTH FLIGHT ! ! !
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🌿
Wow that landing
the fastest means of transport is aeroplane
Thanks for the amazing ride
Kudos too the captain there for keeping a Kool hand at final, it's no wonder why you need to be certified to land at this airport.
Luv St.Barts!! this was a great video, thanks for sharing!!
Thank you
1:58 Pilot to Co-Pilot hand gestures be like "what's this? And why's this look like that? And this one here? Heck, let's wing it..."
2:12 Co-Pilot "Instructions, we don't need no stinking instructions!"
Funny bruh
LMAO...I like this.
It is amazing how noisy those cabin ventilators can be 😂...Great video, thanks for posting !
If I ever take that flight, I want those two in the cabin.
I'd rather they be in the cockpit.
@@tracer740 Yeah me too🤣 they don't know the differences😂
The Twin Otter - what a great little plane !!
Shake my hand Captain!
Love everything about the twin otter other than the weird throttle position.
Beautiful Landing
Great vid and beautiful scenery. Thx for not editing too much or adding music.
+mayorlondon Thanks, of course be no music on such a video :-) I felt that music not belong in such videos, the sound it's a big part of the experience.
K2: “I haven’t completed my calculations.”
Cassian: “I’ll make them for you.”
I flew with them, same places - in 1994. Amazing
Awesome video.only thing i m afraid off are the two fans i the cockpit.
Robert Reigman Thank you, Ok with the fans, probably not so nice to get their hands on it (or head) :-)
Damn,that landing is smooth.
