This is a great video,really love the approach and landing, you have got to admit the landing was not hard or heavy it was just right to me,but anyway love this video,and at 1:20 to 1:42 from above the tube trains look like worms crawling all over London in search of food LOLLLLL :)
@Dutchbird757 The approach into EGLC is quite Unique, not the usual 3 degree Glide Slope ;) Probably explains why passengers assume it's a hard landing.
@bobistheman02 No, it was a flight from Frankfurt to London. My Company booked the flight because it was easier in the morning to get from LCY to Liverpool street as from Heathrow.
Landing looked normal if a little firm! Remember when runway is damp/wet, greasing the landing and sometimes floating is not recommended. You eat up runway that way unnecessarily. Firm landings are required to make sure tyres firmly planted on runway to ensure quick braking! :)
The glideslope at London City is a lot steeper than most standard airports and aerodromes, for obvious reasons. A lot more happening on finals than usual.
is it true that only small airplanes make landings at london city airport? what about the bigger ones like 747s and a380s? does the airport have an ILS?
i hate how londons always cloudy and shitty weather. i've flown there at least 10 times and always crap weather. the one good time i had was in a 757 with winglets so it was a cool looking landing. and this was gatwick
I know, the first snow after years... I have been there and wondering why english people making so much trouble for such a little bit of snow... little bit for germans ;-)
id recommend you to check the london weather forecast first before you come here. honestly, there are so many sunny and wonderful days in london...perhaps you are the unlucky one....lmfao
you past the Canary wharf and the O2,
amazing, I never thought the plane would be so close to the O2!!!!

Nice views of London!
I've seen the approach over the tower bridge tgis year and it was amazing!
@addi138
The biggest plane landing there is a A318 as far as I know. The runway is about 1,5km. It does have a ILS, but it's really steep(About 5,5°).
Generally speaking 2-3, or even 3-3.
Its a very wide aircraft for its size.
the firm landing at LCY / EGLC is deliberate to avoid ground effect.
@raphi146 no its the millennium dome its like a massive museum , and also it can change to a theatre to do live concerts ,
When you fly over the Millenium Dome I start singing singing the "EastEnders" theme tune in my head!
@Dutchbird757 You can't blame them either for landing a bit rough at EGLC. The glideslope is quite a bit steeper than a normal one
London City airport is pretty unique in that there's a steepr gilde slope instead of normal 3% ish, there's a few office towers in the way
LCY is cool cause you get to see London from a low altitude (2000ft before htting the GS) Nice vid!
nice ,good city

@allibowthepilot wow, and you seem to need it, too...

Nice :)
@Navahoagm63 Not on an RJ - They have a huge Airbrake at the back instead
Many landings at LCY are a bit hard because of the steep 5.5 degree approach angle required by noise abatement regulations.
The glideslope at London City is a lot steeper than most standard airports and aerodromes, for obvious reasons.
A lot more happening on finals than usual.
@MayoDK I know. I do it almost twice a day.
nice. where did you come from?
what a hard landing!!!! 5*!!! XP
I've never flown an Avro RJ- what is the seating configuration? How is it?

Hard landing...
nice BAe146

landing was abit tight but not bad as i should say
2.55 min
what´s that ? a footballstadion?
probably a regional/domestic flight
my city!!!
How is that a hard landing?
@Ukash13MK From Frankfurt
What hard landing?? Looked normal to me.
The landing wasn't that bad really, a little firm if anything but definitely not hard.
The Avro RJ-100 has no reverse
what's with your username?
Guys who drop their videocams usually talk about hard landings on RUclips. Nice video, though.

The Avro RJ-100 has no engings
