Nice, NCE airport, France: Approach + landing runway 04L. Airbus cockpit view. With ATC + ATIS. 4k

Visual approach and landing on a beautiful day on runway 04L at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, NCE / LFMN, France. Cockpit view. Airbus A320. With ATC (air traffic control) audio and ATIS (automatic terminal information service) audio. Produced in 4k.
On this day, we had the choice to fly a GPS, VOR or - on our own request - a visual approach. We arrived from the north. Due to several approaching and departing planes infront of us, we crossed the shore near Monaco in more than 10000 feet (3000 meters). Then we continued over the Mediterranean Sea to the south. After a while we got some headings back to the city and the clearance for a visual approach. For traffic seperation, the descent in the visual approach was only approved in several steps.
For noise abatement purposes, we had to keep some defined minimum distance to Cape Antibes during the approach.
Nice airport consists of 2 parallel runways. Usually runway 04L is used for landings and runway 04R for takeoffs.

Hi, NCE/LFMN is named "Nice-Côte d'Azur", not "Nice International Airport" (error in description). Regards.

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for the information! I updated the description accordingly.

[@renejean2523]

That was great to watch. Love these videos. Thank you. All your landings are so smooth too. But then I suppose you wouldn't upload the bad ones! 😉
So, what did you do to save the 300kgs of fuel mentioned in the video?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Thanks for watching and your feedback! On this approach, we saved 300 kg of fuel in comparison to our preplanning. Reason was the visual approach which saved a few minutes of flight time. My landings are not always perfectly smooth. Especially on shorter runways, it is more important to land not too far into the runway than to be smooth. Sure, short and smooth is also good. And: After a few thousand landings, most landings turn out not too bad.

@@ApproachandDepartureVideos - Thank you for your reply and the information. Much appreciated.

Hi there, I can't see if the descent is with AP on but on the a320, with no ATC or AP on, when you are following the VOR CGS for example, course 354°. I then would need to make a right turn to join my landing runway 04L course 43°.This would mean you need to turn right 49° correct?
Then the duration of the turn should be around 16 s ( 49°/3) and your bank angle should be around around 25° if you're at 180 Knots (180/10)+7?
But how do you know when you need to initiate the turn to runway for landing?Any simple formula please?How did you judge when to tirn on 4L?

[@ApproachandDepartureVideos]

Your comment is very interesting. We usually fly a visual approach. That means, we have to stay away from the Cape Antibes ( no crossing to the left of the course 354 to CGS). And we look out of the window and turn whenever we think that it fits. Maximum bank for us is 30 degrees. For the turning point, we have to take the wind into account. We try not to overshoot and vary the the bank during the intercept. The goal is that we track on the centerline to the runway no later than 500 feet above the ground.

[@ro4526]

Thanks again for answering me. I'm not a pilot but would really want to know if tgere's any hint apart from your experience to initiate that right turn? If I start the turn 3.5 NM from CGS onto 4L, how do I ensure I'll be stabiized at latest 500 ft from centre line ( assuming no wind)? I've seen that there is a calculation for turn radius ( using speed squared / tan).I also saw people using 1% og Ground speed to get the approx radous. If you can provide any simple shortcut that would be great.

[@ro4526]

Please help me out. You guys know what you're talking about as you have been flying this approach.
