displaced thresholds mean nothing in that part of the world huh?....lol.......great video....crazy approach
Just proves he was lower than he needed to be on the approach
If you get a chance, pull up the runway info for that airport. You may find an approval for the displaced threshold landing With all these experts who have never been there they may learn something.
And he had plenty of runway too. There was no reason for him to land so early.
some of you guys are wound up way too tight
Saves on brake and tyre wear
I didn't see no inspectors around and chances are he had done it hundreds of times before.LOL
Here in Canada it is permissible to land on a displaced threshold, it simply is displaced due to obstacle clearance requirements for the approach not meeting the criteria for that runway. Not sure what the rules are down there but I'd probably do the same thing for a shortish runway in those conditions if I believed the surface was safe to land on.
