I know people will mention Lukla in Nepal as having a wild approach and it does. But this one is with a big jet transport plane and its equally cool!

Airbus A319 approach into Paro, Buthan (ICAO:VQPR, IATA:PBH). Utterly mental how they weave this thing around the mountains on approach :eek: And the the final turn to line up with the runway is wicked :D

Watch both vids in their max rez & in fullscreen (480p)

First watch this one taken from flight-deck:

And now watch this one taken from the ground to get an appreciation of what it looks like

Skills :cool:
 
Auto pilot win?

Nope hand flown, they must love it as normally they do **** all but spill tea in the flight deck and whinge about their pay and terms and conditions :D

They must look forward to that approach so they get something different to do from systems monitoring.
