AA pilots with balls of steel
AA pilots get trained for this landing at Honduras as its a difficult approach..as you can see... and also worth noting the length of runway also..Balls of steel (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Too bad they dont do this approach anymore. They cleared the hillside after the TACA Flight 390 Accident.
They must send video of the mains brushing the brush...it must happen.
I heard years ago that they removed that hill for a safer approach. Can anyone confirm?
I love how they say AA pilots with balls of steel. Really what a DB, while the airline guys are getting trained to go to these difficult airports, us guys in the corporate world get the 6AM wake up call from dispatch to go to these places. We go and do the same if not better job as the airline guys and we don't get the training before hand. Hell we haven't heard of half the airports airlines guys get special training into until we get that call from dispatch. I think it is safe to say the Corporate Guys have BALLS of STEEL.
Not to mention not having someone send you a message on the ACARS saying 400 miles up ahead go left for wx.
In all fairness, I'm sure quite a few of them came along this path though...
The title is misleading though.

I think it would blow peoples mind to find out just how many of us 135 guys and aircraft are out there. If it's not an airline of some type they just drool over some guy having and flying his own plane.He talks about the 6am call, my mind goes to 1700 and your starting to think Motel; boss calls and says "meetings over, ya'll got the hours to get us home?"
