PHL 26 Approach

BobDDuck · January 28th, 2008, 01:44

Yes, I know there is a youtube section, but I took this myself. I got a new camera and it has VIDEO mode! Wahoo. All ya need is an interesting approach and some dramatic music and you are good to go.

Things to keep in mind...

Obviously, I was in the jumpseat when I took this as I would never film during a leg I was working.

The camera just APPEARS to be sitting up on the glare shield on the captain's side because the FO was busy flying. Of course the FO couldn't actually be flying because it's a landing on 26 in PHL which per our FOM is limited to captain's only.

Yes, those cranes really are that close to the airplane. It's just part of landing on 26.

We really weren't as far to the right of the center line on roll out as it looks. We were in fact to the right (due to the 15 knot crosswind unexpectedly disappearing at 10 feet.

So, now you know (and knowing is half the battle)... enjoy.

Good video Ethan. Pretty good zoom there from the jumpseat.

staplegun · January 28th, 2008, 02:09

Did you notice Mustin NAF on the approach?

Good job, BDDuck!

juxtapilot · January 28th, 2008, 02:52

Great video. I fully enjoyed the music.

Crockrocket94 · January 28th, 2008, 05:50

Ive sat through that approach many times, usually from UNV-PHL on awac.

Good Vid, you can see alot of stuff if you know anything about the area. We came in there about the 3rd of July and you could see alot of fireworks over the water from the city. Pretty badass.

nkoenig · January 28th, 2008, 07:07

Cool Video..

The music went well with the clip

Thanks for sharing.

Just did that approach tonight. Neat to see what it looks like in the daytime.

The first time my SIC did it he didn't realize the localizer was offset a little. When we popped out of the clouds and he wasn't lined up with the runway he was like "Man, do I really suck this bad?!"

Monty · January 28th, 2008, 08:25

Cool Video. That's my favorite part of flying into PHL all of the time...landing on 26 and 35. Much more interesting than 27R, especially when you have a good crosswind and are at max landing weight!

adreamer · January 28th, 2008, 11:03

Landing runway 35 behind ATI's DC-8, or 757 through wake turbulence. That is fun.

H46Bubba · January 28th, 2008, 12:10

Ahhh, the USS Saipan!

It he first ship that comes into view at the Navy Yard. Looks like a mini-carrier. I apent about 8 months of my life on that ship. Decomissioned last year.

I had to go back and watch it again. Yup, you can still make out the runways!

coa787 · January 28th, 2008, 15:50

Nice landing!

Yeah, the Kidd(DDG-993) and the Detroit(AOE-4) are both in there too. That was mine and my wifes boat...sad to see it just rotting away in there.

Which one was that, the Kidd or the "Dirty D"?

USAFplt · January 28th, 2008, 23:13

nice vid! I'm fond of that approach..see it all the time except to 27R instead. Its a nice view in the evening if the weather is nice..flying right over the Walt Whitman and seeing all the sports stadiums to your right as well. Thanks for posting!

jon1424 · January 28th, 2008, 23:56

Great vid! After flying in and out of PHL for almost 2 years every week it's nice to finally see an approach from the front!

bartman · January 29th, 2008, 00:20

That was a nice video and great music matchup. Thanks for sharing.

LOL the Kidd. She actually liked the D, I hated every moment I was on that piece of crap lol.

I heard from a buddy who did a cruise on the "D" that there was like a roving clique of queens (not the female type!

).

I never saw that (lol maybe I nor she was really looking) but since there were women and men aboard the ship, they came back from their Med Cruise in 97 with a good case of VD and crabs running rampant on the boat. Pulled into the shipyards in Philly for refit and no one could live onboard for 2 weeks to remove the "infestation" as they put it.
