Flying into Tough Airports: London City, UK – AINtv

We’re at FlightSafety International’s Teterboro learning center to spend some time in a Falcon 900EX level D simulator to learn about how to fly into some of the toughest airports in the world. Today’s challenging airport is London City in the United Kingdom, which is surrounded by water and urban development. Aircraft and aircrews need to be certified to land here because of the required steep 5.5-degree approach glidepath, which is in force for noise abatement. A standard glidepath is typically 3 degrees. There are also strict standards for how far down the runway pilots must touch down when landing at London City, otherwise they must conduct a go-around and try again. Note: AIN has learned that while there are cameras on the Long City runway, they are there for security, not to monitor where aircraft actually land on the runway. In this video, we’ll do a takeoff and a landing. This is the third video in our series about challenging airports.
