Landing at World's Most Dangerous Airport by Bhutan's First Female Captain - Paro Runway 15 Landing.

Here is the video of Paro approach flown by Bhutan’s first female pilot/Captain from Drukair, Royal Bhutan Airlines. The video takes you over head Paro airport before making U-Turn for runway 15 landing.
The crew encounters rain on arrival which makes it even more challenging for the crew to land.
Beautiful landing executed by the Captain at the end.

About Paro airport:

Paro airport is considered as one of the most challenging airport in the world for the commercial jetliners to land.
The airport is located at an altitude of 7364 feet above mean sea level with runway elevation of 7362 feet and 7310 feet respectively for runway 15 and runway 33.
The runway length is 7431 feet ( 2265 meters) and width is about 30 meters which just covers the minimum runway width required by ICAO. ( one factor why Paro is considered one of the most challenging runway to land for the pilots)

Note: All Airbus aircraft are developed based on 45 m wide runways because it reflects the most frequently used runways by Airbus aircraft.
All flight and simulator certification tests linked to directional control on ground are performed on 45 m wide runways.

Probably the best execution of this challenging approach I’ve seen on YouTube.

Nothing can shake up that crew!
PIC looked totally unfazed by the whole thing.
Beautiful display of professionalism.

I just came back from Bhutan, the landing at Paro really is something to experience. And Miss Ugyen Dema was in the cockpit for my flight.

High terrain, inclement wx, and look at how relax she is while doing the job... just-another-day-a-the-office like stuff. Simply superb

[AirJet-kr]

I used to dream to become a pilot but I end up being an aircraft mechanic... But still an amazing profession with amazing jobs... The fact is aviation is my passion...❤❤❤👊👊👊👍👍👍

What a fabulous video. That girl must have nerves of steel. Well done lass.

[fv]

Her gender has nothing to do with it. She's just another well trained pilot with nerves of steel!

[bobboulden]

That approach took my breath away. So much more for both pilots to do and be aware of. I can't even imagine learning an approach where, even on the best days, you will at the very least be straightening and leveling the plane until a second before you touch down. Kudos to both of them.

NOT seeing where the runway is until right before landing made this even MORE scarier to watch. Getting over that first mountain range and then almost diving to land made this even more impressive to watch with their piloting skills. OMG!! Bravo to them!!!

[johnledingham]

This was a great display of well trained and competent pilots flying through inhospitable surroundings such as in Bhutan.
This is in the ceiling of the world. They manoeuvre through these mountainous surrounds, with the associated weather
changes that come with territory. And do it over and over again. I'm in awe of their skills and dedication to their jobs!

[Janet_Airlines]

That’s a scary approach in perfect weather. With rain and fog what a nightmare. Excellent work, very nice landing.

[erichleonhard]

Oh! What can I say?
A brilliant, cool piece of effortless manual flying!!!
She made it look so easy...a hallmark of the true professional!!

[mollygirl]

I’ve been a passenger several times on takeoff and landing at Paros and never had anything but perfection on landing and takeoff. Testament to the excellence of the flight crew.

[xeonhdr]

She was staying frosty all through. Surely a pleasure to fly with her. Safe flights and God speed. Regards

[larryherbert]

That's cool she takes a sip of water while preparing to land, no pressure, she's landed many, many times before

[JBoya]

Nice landing. Really impressive to watch the pilot flying get it lined up at such low altitude and with late turns required on final. Not a single wasted motion and few corrections.

[MrSnout]

I've watched many different videos of the approach and landing into Paro, but this is by far the most challenging and exciting to watch. The calmness of the crew has to be seen to be believed, outstanding training.

[lamargrant]

This is the best I've seen on the internet thus far. I can watch this over and over and over and over. I totally enjoyed that approach and landing she hand flew it like a boss

[ilvesman]

This is just amazing how much skill, experience and pure intution it must take! By far from any aerial maneuvers including low altitude mach loops, carrier landings this is on par or above given the responsiblity involved in delivering hundreds of passengers safely to a destination. Standing ovations!
