Some analysis: 1:55 - Autopilot ‘Minimums’ call. This is Decision Altitude (or Height) - (DA or DH). In order to continue the approach from this point, the pilot MUST be able to see either: the approach lighting system (at least 2 bars of the Centreline and 5-Bar (CL-5B) Calvert system), or the PAPIs, or the runway threshold. None of these appear to be in sight from the camera view. 2:04 - Autopilot disengaged tone. Pilot now has manual control. This, therefore, cannot be an Autoland; it is a manual landing from this point, requiring visual cues. (You can continue an approach on autopilot on a CAT I ILS (if the signal quality is good enough), below DA, provided that the pilot has achieved the required minimum visual references at or before DA.) 2:04 to 2:17 - No Approach lights in sight from this camera view. If the runway was CAT II or CAT III capable, there should be Approach and Supplementary Approach lights visible at some point during this period to enable the approach to be continued below DA. Moreover, it si likely that ‘Minimums’ would be much lower and the autopilot would still be engaged. 2:17 - PAPIs just becoming visible on the left-hand side, and a very ‘loomy’ view of the runway threshold can be discerned. No Approach or Supplementary Approach lights are visible; at this stage however, they may be under and behind the aeroplane and not visible to the camera. However, Runway Centreline or Touchdown Zone (TDZ) lights are NOT visible. This, therefore, is NOT a CAT II or CAT III equipped runway; it is at best a CAT I ILS equipped runway, the approach limits of which are listed elsewhere on here, but basically would have a DA no lower than 200ft above threshold elevation; it might be higher due to obstacles in the Final Approach Segment.
2:25 - Aeroplane passes abeam the PAPIs - ie the Touchdown zone and from where the glidepath originates. Assuming an average final approach speed of 120 kts (2 nm a minute to make the maths easier!) the aircraft has travelled 1 nm from 1:55 to 2:25. Also Assuming the runway has the normal 3° ILS Glidepath angle the aircraft would have been at around 300ft (3° = 318ft per nm) above the threshold at the time the autopilot ‘Minimums’ call was heard; this slightly ‘high’ figure may be due to the presence of previously mentioned obstacles in the final approach segment adding a safety factor to the minimum allowable CAT I approach minima or, (more likely, due to need to allow for the potential adverse wind effects during the squall) a higher approach speed than the assumed 120 kts. Whatever the reason, it would appear - from the evidence from this camera angle - that the approach was continued below minimums as no Approach lights were visible between 1:55 to 2:04. Indeed, no Approach lights are seen at all during the procedure; is this runway so equipped? Mitigating factors: We cannot know what the Pilot In Control was seeing through his windscreen, we only have the ‘evidence’ from a low quality camera in a less than optimal location. The ambient light conditions and the camera sensitivity results in the runway sidelights not showing up well during touchdown and roll-out; this might also apply to any approach lights.
Also: the minimums might not have been set correctly. In an ATR, that callout is based on the radio altimeter, which can be inaccurate because of variable terrain geometry below the plane. I personally never set it for Cat 1 approaches for that reason, and relied on the altimeter for the minimums.
Evan Scott Well actually you can rely on the RA because when you shoot a CAT II it is part of the certification too so it is there for a reason and the 200 ft RAD ALT is sometimes varying on the approach charts...anyway as a standard yes QNH altimeter is used for the minimum but in our SOPs we do use and check the RA...

How on earth do these incredibly skilled people manage to land such huge machines when they can not only not see where they’re meant to be putting it down, but probably haven’t been able to see the ground or anything for ages. Very impressed every time I see a tricky landing.
When it says “minimums”, you’re supposed to look up from the instrument panel, and if you can’t see the runway environment which CAN be just the approach LIGHTS, your supposed to execute a missed approach procedure, go around, and try again. In this video, when minimums were reached, I couldn’t see the runway… could you? Maybe he could… I hope so, because sniffing around below minimums when you can’t see the ground while making an ILS (instrument landing system) approach is what will get everybody killed probably more often than anything. I wasn’t there, so I don’t know, but that’s what this looks like. I hope I’m wrong.
Woody 5326 even with ILS regulations require visual contact on minimums. Captain can’t go against them so Im sure it is just the cameras vs human eye thing here - pilots saw the runway
Never certain when or how fasrt a cell will move...or be followed by another cell. That approach was low...probably violative...but not rocked by a strong cell.
@@jordantyler3013 depends on what landing minimums they where using, and as well as what the plane was set up for. ILS CAT 1 or 2 or 3? "Minimums" was clear.

What a tit indeed.

This could have even led to a runway excursion. At least it was cool to show their friends on TH-cam ... I mean priorities right ?
I really can’t believe that they didn’t abort the approach and go around. I couldn’t help thinking of the Delta 191 accident at DFW when they went through a storm and lost control due to wind shear. True, it appeared to be just heavy rain. I heard no thunder but anything could have suddenly developed and the winds suddenly changed. It was like they were in a car wash and with bad wipers too!
How many who use percentage figures get their numbers from A. Swipe' Johnson? Just asking this question for edo u cational porp us us. Is there a point on an ILS approach where it is no longer legal to continue the approach or is the term missed approach merely a foolhardy old fashioned practice? Let me cut to the chase. If I had my way this pilot would never fly another airplane. If I had been a passenger on that airplane and saw this video there would be a law suit.
Very very dangerous ..when do you descend below the published mda without the vasi insignt, especially flying into a downburst on finals, complete idiot pilot! 8o
Geez,kudoos to pilots around the world that land in storms such as this.I suppose you're trained in instrument landings but it still take balls of steel to do something like that.And even worse in heavy fog.A great big thank you to all of our pilots around the world for knowing how to do their job and keeping passengers safe.
Brave to fly right through that column of rain. Could be a microburst that first gives you lift--then slams you into the ground. Nevertheless, great IFR landing!
They continued past minimums without the runway in sight and you think it's a great landing? It's a lucky landing at best. Very bad reckless flying on display here. Also they touch down steep, way down the runway and off centerline. All in all a horrible landing.
When I heard the "minimums" callout I actually caught myself shouting Go Around! >.< That was an unnecessary risk. (Oh and, I went first solo 24th August 2006 :-) )
Mr DDD3az Looks like a fat ass in mom basement. Microburst! What the hell! The video is the prove what you need. Fucking youtubers engineers, pilots, mechanics...
Looks kinda dangerous flying into a heavy shaft of rain on approach. A down burst could have easily shoved them into the ground on approach. I'm not a pilot but personally I would have gone around.
mark kaupas the only fact you stated was, "I'm not a pilot" Leave it to ones who are. It's not easy to reach this point but what you watch here are normal daily ops by professionals. Listen or not, I really don't care, but I've done this for years. Try adding strong cross winds at night in a blizzard. This is easy.
Microburst is a consideration.. but with radar to stay in line with the run way, and confidence, the pilot was not wrong to attempt the landing.. the turbulance was not severe so flying low visibility that well is a testimony of instrument flying.. great work captain
Cool threading through a micro burst and minimums. Once I was flying with a senior certified flight instructor and thought I had a CVA, the diagnosis was migraine and the flight surgeon suspended my license
Rob I have no experience but love estvhjngall the flying landing videos ...just wondering if u have experience? Doesnt matter really either way but as I learn I wanna learn from experienced fliers not wannabes like myself.so wish I had the money for real lessons!!😟🥺😭
Dana14me Hettinger I took my first solo flight in 1999 which was 21 years ago. Yes I have experience. I can’t see the radar signature but it definitely looks like it would be lit up in red from the amount of rain coming down. He could have been flying into a microburst which can be deadly. In the video you hear his instruments calling out “minimums-minimums” that’s the critical decision height to either commit to the landing or execute a missed approach. If you don’t have visual of the airfield at the minimums you execute the missed approach. He didn’t have visual of the runway till he was about 100ft above the ground. He should have executed the missed approach, climbed to the assigned altitude and stayed in the holding pattern until it was either safe to land or divert to another airport.
I don't think so. Really bad pilot judgment. He should wait a few minutes for the storm to pass and then do the approach. Bad decision with a possibility of bad outcome.
D. Mark Detrixhe . Thanks for the replay. However, base on my experience flying fighter and now commercial airplanes for a big company, I think that is a better way to deal with that. I done that to in regional airplanes as a captain, and then I kicked my self in the ground asking why I did it. So now that I have been in this rodeo more than 25 years, I think there is better way or maybe when not carry passages.
Remember one time we were on final and could see the runway just fine when approach informed us they had reports of heavy downpour just short of the runway and suggested we select another runway. We declined and continued our approach. Well when we got to a point just short of the runway all heck broke loose. It was like we were flying under Niagara Falls. I don’t think we could even see our engine cowling . We continued our approach but were about to do a missed approach when the downpour was behind us and everything was clear. That happened about forty years ago but I still remember it.
First time I seen wipers on a plane... Always thought the windows were Rain-Xed and the forward speed is what kept the rain dispersed... Learn something new everyday!... Imagine that! :)
Hard to tell if the runway environment (ILS lighting, VASI, threshold lighting) was in view from the pilot's perspective when they got to minimum altotude but it sure was crappy weather.
I'm not a pilot but, correct me if I'm wrong, but that was an cat2 ils landing right? So, what's the big deal? If I'm not wrong , the problem is not the absence of visibility but if, in addition to the rain, if they would come in at windy conditions. . Again, I'm not a pilot.
MarinsBest VideoProductions i would have to actually have been in the seat to see the actual conditions, but when i heard minimums and could not see the runway, i probably would have called a go around, gear up, flaps extended, full thrust
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Regardless of what systems they had, planes still can and do crash when unnecessarily flying through bad weather. Why risk it?
This reminds me of a flight I took from Nantucket to Tweed New Haven back in the mid-1980s. It was on an old DC-3 (such a great plane.) It was raining the whole flight and I could see nothing but gray out my window. I kept waiting for the ground to appear on approach, but it never did. I actually heard the thump of the front wheel before I saw the runway. It was a little jarring to say the least. Maybe the pilots had the runway in sight but I don't see how. The airport looked completely socked in.
There was a wheel on the "front" of the DC 3. Huh???? Nah, I'm just yanking your chain... I knew what you meant, I just got a giggle out of how you phrased it. Have a great day...

Those wipers suck...
the rolling shutter of the camera
pesto12601 they're not made to completely dry the window... because the engines need as much power as possible
yes they do
Cameron Washington Dumbass, what does wiper speeds have to do with engine power in any possible way?
you dumbass i'm only nine years old and for you information so he could see how to land duuuuuuuuuh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um. I have absolutely no flying experience at all but I wouldn’t have flown right through that.
Do you wanna fly cool or safe? :D
Der Calvin hmmm. Safe.
Not a pilot, have never flown a simulator...just wanted to add..that I am glad I save a ton of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!

I really can’t believe that they didn’t abort the approach and go around. I couldn’t help thinking of the Delta 191 accident at DFW when they went through a storm and lost control due to wind shear. True, it appeared to be just heavy rain. I heard no thunder but anything could have suddenly developed and the winds suddenly changed. It was like they were in a car wash and with bad wipers too!
See that microburst? Hold my beer
Awww man he's flying into the thing 😶 I would of jumped out
Looks like landing in Costa Rica SJO. That is precisely what it looks like 80-90 Days a year.
I see a lot of fsx pilots in this thread
So. They can learn how it's done in the real world and compare.
Daniel Morén I see a lot of dumbasses here
Danielle Morén XP pilots wya
80% of commenters think that if they write in capital letters , they are right
The other 20 don't know what proper punctuation is.
What do the ones think who use no capital letters and have missing punctuation?
NO THEY DON'T
AM I NOT?
How many who use percentage figures get their numbers from A. Swipe' Johnson? Just asking this question for edo u cational porp us us. Is there a point on an ILS approach where it is no longer legal to continue the approach or is the term missed approach merely a foolhardy old fashioned practice? Let me cut to the chase. If I had my way this pilot would never fly another airplane. If I had been a passenger on that airplane and saw this video there would be a law suit.
Excelente piloto, parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good God. Did that really happen ? Pilots are incredible. That was unbelievable. The storm was right in their path.
A go-around was a no-brainer. Extremely dangerous pilot.
Very very dangerous ..when do you descend below the published mda without the vasi insignt, especially flying into a downburst on finals, complete idiot pilot! 8o
I watched thinking NO WAY he's going to fly through that.
And did ! Just stupid, dangerous and mind-blowing.
Based on what i could see, the runway environment was not visual by minimums, they continued the approach anyhow.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND A BIG HEART TO LANDING THIS LITTLE MONSTER 🛫🛫👍👏
I take my hat off to these Pilots, totally unbelievably SKILLED...
Geez,kudoos to pilots around the world that land in storms such as this.I suppose you're trained in instrument landings but it still take balls of steel to do something like that.And even worse in heavy fog.A great big thank you to all of our pilots around the world for knowing how to do their job and keeping passengers safe.
Why would you fly into what looks like a micro burst?
Consider that ATR can be very tricky to land, so great job on the handling.
Awesome skills it's so fascinating how planes work and the power of them respect to pilots
I'm guessing the pilot had landed here hundred or thousands of times in the same model of plane. Either that or he was crazy!
He was crazy.
Brave to fly right through that column of rain. Could be a microburst that first gives you lift--then slams you into the ground. Nevertheless, great IFR landing!
Delta flight 191
They continued past minimums without the runway in sight and you think it's a great landing? It's a lucky landing at best. Very bad reckless flying on display here. Also they touch down steep, way down the runway and off centerline. All in all a horrible landing.
I was concerned about that column as well, tough day at the office for sure.
All I can say is WIPERS are my new favorite invention. Oh and the Pilots of this plane were cool too.
My hat is off to these highly skilled pilots. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!
Actually they are idiots who are lucky to be alive
Wow Excelente.
Cant believe you flew right into that downburst, and landed while in it.
Mr DDD3az Belive. Stevie Wonder FSX pilot.
Sorry pal, I do not fly FSX, and I did my first solo on my 16th birthday in 1971.......
Correct, Bill...and it was unwise to fly into that shit.
When I heard the "minimums" callout I actually caught myself shouting Go Around! >.< That was an unnecessary risk. (Oh and, I went first solo 24th August 2006 :-) )
Mr DDD3az Looks like a fat ass in mom basement. Microburst! What the hell! The video is the prove what you need. Fucking youtubers engineers, pilots, mechanics...
It’s incredible what aircraft and pilots are capable of
i haven't seen a landing like this before.
very skilful pilot, well equipped plane and airport.
superb, brave and lucky.
It was a unnecessary risk to take
Somebody earned his paycheck!
Man flight simulator pilots everywhere, I like planes but I guarantee 99.9% of commenters are flight simulator pros.
Delta flight 191
WoW these guys and Girls are so much appreciate with my family 👍👍👍👍
That's confidence in your instruments right there
Gotta love ILS
Looks kinda dangerous flying into a heavy shaft of rain on approach. A down burst could have easily shoved them into the ground on approach. I'm not a pilot but personally I would have gone around.
mark kaupas the only fact you stated was, "I'm not a pilot" Leave it to ones who are. It's not easy to reach this point but what you watch here are normal daily ops by professionals.
Listen or not, I really don't care, but I've done this for years. Try adding strong cross winds at night in a blizzard. This is easy.
Bloody hell dude... That was one heck of a landing 😁
Microburst is a consideration.. but with radar to stay in line with the run way, and confidence, the pilot was not wrong to attempt the landing.. the turbulance was not severe so flying low visibility that well is a testimony of instrument flying.. great work captain
My god..
hats off of these fine pilots...
Deepak Garg All in a days work buddy.
Can anyone tell meh which airport is tat
Wanna land my private jet in similar fashion 😎😂
ILS & Glide Scope were spot on , good job men
Cool threading through a micro burst and minimums. Once I was flying with a senior certified flight instructor and thought I had a CVA, the diagnosis was migraine and the flight surgeon suspended my license
Pure stupidity. It would take too long to explain everything that could have gone wrong here.
Go around, divert and live to see another day.
No, this was fine...?
Rob I have no experience but love estvhjngall the flying landing videos ...just wondering if u have experience? Doesnt matter really either way but as I learn I wanna learn from experienced fliers not wannabes like myself.so wish I had the money for real lessons!!😟🥺😭
Oops..that was " love WATCHING all the flying and landing videos"...
Dana14me Hettinger I took my first solo flight in 1999 which was 21 years ago. Yes I have experience. I can’t see the radar signature but it definitely looks like it would be lit up in red from the amount of rain coming down. He could have been flying into a microburst which can be deadly.
In the video you hear his instruments calling out “minimums-minimums” that’s the critical decision height to either commit to the landing or execute a missed approach. If you don’t have visual of the airfield at the minimums you execute the missed approach.
He didn’t have visual of the runway till he was about 100ft above the ground. He should have executed the missed approach, climbed to the assigned altitude and stayed in the holding pattern until it was either safe to land or divert to another airport.
They did live to see another day.
I don't think so. Really bad pilot judgment. He should wait a few minutes for the storm to pass and then do the approach. Bad decision with a possibility of bad outcome.
Ikr
Cristian Rodriguez no Dumbass
D. Mark Detrixhe . Thanks for the replay. However, base on my experience flying fighter and now commercial airplanes for a big company, I think that is a better way to deal with that. I done that to in regional airplanes as a captain, and then I kicked my self in the ground asking why I did it.
So now that I have been in this rodeo more than 25 years, I think there is better way or maybe when not carry passages.
why do you have to call everybody a DUMB ASS
Cameron Washington I think he does because he is the real dumb ass with no experience behind.
I saw those wipers for sale! The tag line was “These wipers are so good.... they’ll take you all the way to the crash scene.”
Remember one time we were on final and could see the runway just fine when approach informed us they had reports of heavy downpour just short of the runway and suggested we select another runway. We declined and continued our approach. Well when we got to a point just short of the runway all heck broke loose. It was like we were flying under Niagara Falls. I don’t think we could even see our engine cowling . We continued our approach but were about to do a missed approach when the downpour was behind us and everything was clear. That happened about forty years ago but I still remember it.
Hats of to all pilots who always keep their lives on risk..
😘😘
And passengers?
Nice day for a landing!
Balls of steel is befitting people who perform such tasks. I have a lot of respect for pilots.
The pilot was filming with one hand and landing the plane with the other during a cat 5 hurricane? Nice!!!
"ILS, landing aircrafts when humans can't for over 40 years"
The fact we didn't see the runway at minimums doesn't mean they didn't. Hard to judge.
First time I seen wipers on a plane...
Always thought the windows were Rain-Xed and the forward speed is what kept the rain dispersed...
Learn something new everyday!...
Imagine that! :)
SolarReturn I thought the same thing!
Hard to tell if the runway environment (ILS lighting, VASI, threshold lighting) was in view from the pilot's perspective when they got to minimum altotude but it sure was crappy weather.
Great flying, poor decision making. IMHO.
Risking lives is never great flying!
I'm no pilot but it seems like this was a textbook brilliantly executed landing 👏👏👏
It seemed to be a pretty smooth landing to me.
I'm not a pilot but, correct me if I'm wrong, but that was an cat2 ils landing right? So, what's the big deal? If I'm not wrong , the problem is not the absence of visibility but if, in addition to the rain, if they would come in at windy conditions.
.
Again, I'm not a pilot.
Pucker factor of 9 out of 10, i hate hearing minimums when i cannot see the runway
no shit
You could not hammer a nail up my hind end with a 3 pound sledge hammer under those conditions, may be time for some new wiper blades also
MarinsBest VideoProductions i would have to actually have been in the seat to see the actual conditions, but when i heard minimums and could not see the runway, i probably would have called a go around, gear up, flaps extended, full thrust
These aircrafts are fitted with CAT III Lumding systems. Can land even in zero visibility.
Is the airport installed CAT III landing system? It wont work if only the acft equipped with it.
Definitely wasn't an autoland, the autopilot was turned off a few moments after minimums.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Regardless of what systems they had, planes still can and do crash when unnecessarily flying through bad weather. Why risk it?
All I can say the pilots know what they doing and that is professional landing I never seen on TH-cam.
This reminds me of a flight I took from Nantucket to Tweed New Haven back in the mid-1980s. It was on an old DC-3 (such a great plane.) It was raining the whole flight and I could see nothing but gray out my window. I kept waiting for the ground to appear on approach, but it never did. I actually heard the thump of the front wheel before I saw the runway. It was a little jarring to say the least. Maybe the pilots had the runway in sight but I don't see how. The airport looked completely socked in.
There was a wheel on the "front" of the DC 3. Huh???? Nah, I'm just yanking your chain... I knew what you meant, I just got a giggle out of how you phrased it. Have a great day...
@@danielbierwirth2190 Haha! You're right -- I forgot about that second front wheel! :)
