Heraklion, Crete Island: Approach along the beaches and landing on runway 27. HER/LGIR. Cockpit view
Показать описание
Approach along the beautiful Crete shoreline and landing on runway 27 at Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis international airport (HER/ LGIR), Crete Island, Greece. With ATC (air traffic control) audio. Cockpit view Airbus A320. Filmed in 4k.
It shows an approach to Heraklion taped with 4 cameras with views inside and outside of the cockpit.
Due to the usual wind situation at Heraklion airport, runway 27 is the runway which is most of the time in use. The runway elevation is 81 feet and the runway shows up as situated on a steep rising rock in the water. This makes the landing a little challenging because shortly before you overfly the runway threshold, you are over water and your radio altitude is 200 feet, just moments later you are over the runway and your radio altimeter shows about 100 feet less. From the pilots perspective, it looks like landing on an aircraft carrier. This is also the reason because a harder than normal landing may happen at Heraklion more often than at the most other airports.
There is no precision approach, like an ILS (instrument landing system), available. Standard approach is the RNAV approach 27, which is based on GPS signals. If the weather permits, you also may be cleared for a visual approach. If the plane does not have a GPS on board available, it may fly a VOR approach, which is based on a VOR (VHF omnidirectional range) navaid located at the airport. .
After finishing the instrument part of the approach, a PAPI (precision approach path indicator) helps the pilots to stay on the right descent path. The PAPI at runway 27 guides the pilots on a 3.0 degrees glidepath to the runway, but the glide angle of the RNAV approach is 3.4 degrees. If a pilots wants to follow the PAPI after reaching the minimum descent altitude of 830 feet, he or she has first to increase the descent rate until seeing 2 red and 2 white lights on the PAPI indicator and then the descent rate needs to be reduced to follow the 3 degrees glide in accordance to the PAPI. The PAPI indicator is located on the left side of the runway.
Winds form southerly directions with more than 20 knots make the approach even more difficult: Due to the rising terrain south of the aerodrome, the wind may be very gusty and cause severe turbulence in this case.
The runway is 2714 meters long and 45 meters wide. This can accomodate almost every modern passenger plane.
