What a view on Luxembourg City !

My last approach for 2018 was as well one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The sun, low on the horizon hitting the tall buildings of Kirchberg, while the fog fills up the valleys… 😍 Luxembourg

This is my latest movie, created using the best sequences I shot during the last years.

Low visibility approach

Some days, you see the runway only a few seconds before touching down. This is an approach with 200 meters of runway visual range, which is the minimum we need to fly it. The red/withe/red lights are part of the high intensity approach lights, and the green lights are the beginning of the runway. It's always challenging to fly to the ground with so little visual clues. The approach has to be flown manually using the headup guidance system, and with great precision as a small deviation on the loc, on the glide or on the speed will trigger an "approach warning" forcing the crew to go around...
