【The "Kai Tak" of Japan】Low-altitude banking turn before touchdown at Osaka Int'l Airport

On May 23, 2025, I visited Osaka International Airport in Japan. At this airport, 99% of arriving aircraft land on RWY32, but for just a few days each year—only when a strong southeasterly wind is blowing—the airport switches to RWY14 operations. This video captures aircraft landing during one of those rare RWY14 days. Just before touchdown, the planes make a wide, low-altitude turn—a sight reminiscent of the former Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for watching the video!
