Most Dangerous Landing in the World - Paro Bhutan? (Original)

Here is the video of Paro approach flown by Bhutan’s first female pilot/Captain from Drukair, Royal Bhutan Airlines. The video takes you over head Paro airport before making U-Turn for runway 15 landing. The crew encounters rain on arrival which makes it even more challenging for the crew to land. Beautiful landing executed by the Captain at the end. About Paro airport: Paro airport is considered as one of the most challenging airport in the world for the commercial jetliners to land. The airport is located at an altitude of 7364 feet above mean sea level with runway elevation of 7362 feet and 7310 feet respectively for runway 15 and runway 33. The runway length is 7431 feet ( 2265 meters) and width is about 30 meters which just covers the minimum runway width required by ICAO. ( one factor why Paro is considered one of the most challenging runway to land for the pilots) Note: All Airbus aircraft are developed based on 45 m wide runways because it reflects the most frequently used runways by Airbus aircraft. All flight and simulator certification tests linked to directional control on ground are performed on 45 m wide runways.
