the boeing 737-800 can land on autopilot even tho this is not standard precedure unless the weather conditions require it. The plane is equipped with a ILS system that captures a signal, that makes the airplane follow a glidepath down towards the runway.
Not all planes can land with autoland,unlike video games,some planes like 737 can be unequipped with autoland system in this case landing that require autoland are handflown by the pilots using an head up display
@@Hk-uw8my Thanks for info. I am so impressed that landings always goes well. I`ve flown a lot and never experienced bad landings or go- arounds, even during severe turbulence.
medhist2006 It depends if you want to know the distance on ground or the lenght of the slope. In either case both values can be easily calculated with some trigonometry: A = height/tan(angle). Here A is the distance on ground in feet, height is the height from which you want to calculate the distance and angle is the glide slope angle (which means the angle at which the plane descends, it usually is of 3 degrees). In this case the ground distance then is: A = 1000 / tan(3) = 19081 feet (or 5797 meters from the runway) If you want to calculate the lenght of the slope, that is the distance from your plane and the runway’s threshold taking into account also vertical deviation, you can use this formula: B = (height^2 + A^2)^(1/2). Here B is the slope lenght in feet, height is the height that your plane is at, A is the ground distance that we just calculated. In this case the slope’s lenght is: B = (1000^2 + 19081^2)^(1/2) = 19107 feet (or 5823 meters). Note: The formula for B can be further simplified into: B = height / sin(angle). Which in this case becomes: B = 1000 / sin(3) = 19107 feet (or 5823 meters). Hope this helps (I also want to point out that I’m not a pilot)
Well, too noisy. I really was hoping to hear controllers communicating with a Norwegian accent. As a Norwegian-American, my wife has visited Oslo but I haven't. She just loves traveling much more than I do. Her trip count is pretty high. Europe made me literally sick. Not repugnance, just viruses.
GOOD landing CAPTAIN very nice
Videos like this are the best, thanks for sharing! The takeoff vid was great aswell!
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed them! Feel free to share them with your friends if you want!
I landed here at Gardermoen and it was butter.
Okay this is too cool
More, please - pretty please :-)
How is it to land a plane on autopilot?

“Now we are trying to find the runway, where is it??” XD
Very nice. What airline?
Thank you. Norwegian Air Shuttle.
Nice
when your altitude was 1000' How far do you think you were from the runway? Is there a standard descent rate?
