- 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.
Please checkout also this video: • Airbus A320: Heraklion...
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.

The view of this approach is just outstanding. If i were the pilot i would land there everytime :)
I agree, it is a really nice approach with great views! Have a good day!
At 2:55 the plane flies over Kokkini Hani. I even see the supermarket where I used to shop when I lived in this "village".
I really liked Crete, but even the prices in grocery stores, due to the peculiarities of logistics, hit the tourist budget a lot. Add to this the buses (large and air-conditioned) that run at any time, but not on schedule at stops. Lack of soups that my gastric stomach needs. And crazy heat.
Before Crete, I spent the summer in Montenegro. And although a couple of times I was almost deceived by the locals, I want to come there a second time. The second time in Crete somehow do not want to.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your own experience! Have a nice day!
I am basically from India, living&working in Germany but I fall in Love with Greece❤🩵.... For the third time I am visiting this country, my most favourite, Vacation means for me Greece❤🩵
Thanks for watching and for sharing your very personal feedback!
In august we have been full 3 weeks on crete. Discovered the whole island. No clouds at all, clear blue sky the whole vacation. 😊
That sounds good! Thanks for sharing your feedback about the island!
ive just got back from kato gouves and we used to watch the line up and gear lowering its so cool to see, from this view as you can see our hotel st Constantine and the Crete sea-life center
Thanks for watching and the personal report from Crete! Have a great day!
A very nice video, very professional flight crew, perhaps one day I will be allowed to have a holiday again in Crete, do not normally care for music but this one goes well with the video..
Hi John! Thank you very much for the great feedback!! I hope that you will be able to travel to Crete again very soon!
I was just there last week, Crete is beautiful and loading off the plane, directly onto the tarmac was a great experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Vacation in Crete last year. Wonderful memories on this island. New subscriber to your channel. Thanks for everything and keep going. An A320 french newbie flight simmer.👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and for being a new subscriber for my channel! Have a great day!
Wow it’s good I have watched this travel it reminds me of my experiences when there is no pandemic yet😊
Ich wuchs dort auf, gerade in der Nähe. Ein schönes Video! Vielen Dank aus Berlin 😁 ich wünsche euch immer sichere Flüge Fly Safe 🌼
Vielen Dank für das freundliche Feedback und alles Gute!!
really put me in holiday mood 😎
Thanks for watching! All the best to you!
Excellent
Thank you!
Awesome video, love the music!
Thanks for the good feedback!
I get why some folks *never* want the music, and I don't usually, but occasionally it makes for a more relaxing and chilled out viewing. And this time I definitely approve. Very pleasant.
I wonder why the minimums are so high at airports like this. Lanzarote is the same. Anyone know?
Thanks for your feedback. The problem with the music is that the music I like may be completely different than the music some or most of the viewers like. We had lots of discussions about the music over the last years. So my decision was to produce new videos without any music and try to focus more on the cockpit audio.
The minimums are high because this is a non-precision approach and they have higher minimums in comparison to ILS precision-approaches. Lanzarote has an ILS approach with a low minimum if you arrive over the water, if you arrive straight in over the island, the minimums are high because it is also a non-precision approach.
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos - Thanks for the 'minimums' explanation.
I guess I could always turn the sound down and have my own music, but your choice on this video is pretty inoffensive I would have thought. It's not like it's 'death metal' or something. 😱
Anyway, I love your videos and I'm happy I discovered your channel.
Amazing video! Greetings from Rethymnon
Thanks!
tobrouk beach starts 03:59
Thank you for the info!
Klasse, sehr schönes Video
Vielen Dank für das gute Feedback!
love this and the music is wonderful - what is the music please?
I do not remember about the music. It came from the RUclips music archives which is provided fron RUclips for the video creators.
Back in the stone ages, late 1970s, this was a routine stop for us in USAF AirEvac in the C-9A Nightingale. I loved this stop and many others in the area. But one day, we had a scary toward the town. Starting Takeoff roll from the cliff end we had a headwind, but by liftoff it was tailwind! It was CLOSE!😗 And we all could hear it in our voices and the tower controller’s voice! Don’t worry folks, there was nothing to see. 😎
Thanks for watching and for sharing your very personal experience! The winds can be very challenging at Heraklion. It's great to hear that you finally got the bird into the air! Have a nice day!
i just landed there today and i am on vacation 😁
Have a nice vacation!
"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."
This is thank god quite rare - Prevailing winds on the island are N-W-N to only N.Southerly winds may occur in the winter months....
Despite having flown into and out of Heraklion and/ or Chania on an almost annual basis, I clearly remember my first visit to the island and my first approach to R27 back in August of 1990 - as we started the final parallel to the coast it was so beautiful outside, but according to our pilot (Flying a Britania 757 - 200) - misleadingly so.... his final cabin call was to let us know that "due to a southerly wind it will more than likely get very bumpy as soon as we get below the mountains, so please make sure (etc etc). As I spend most of the time in the Islands west I had no idea this weather feature was so rare in summer but, especially being only 12 years old it was one of the coolest approaches and touchdowns ever, the aircraft feeling like it was progressively dropping in increments towards the causeway through spoiler use as opposed to a set descent rate and / or use of a glide slope. Its crazy how these details stay with one for 30 years and I will miss the NK Heraklion Airport when it closes and moves south to Kasteli Airfield....
heel mooi
Thanks!!!
Best job in the world, seems to me.
You are really right! Best job with the best views, especially in good weather conditions.
Ist es nicht mehr üblich, bei Freigaben der Flugsicherung das Callsign zu nennen?
Doch, es ist immer noch üblich. Allerdings sind im Video aus Datenschutzgründen die Callsigns entfernt worden. Der Rest ist unverändert. Ich bitte um Verständnis.
Schöne Landung Digga♥
Danke!
😱
Thanks for watching!
If I wanted to hear music I would have chosen a music video. Part of the excitement of watching this kind of videos is because people want to hear the roar of the engines and all the background sounds at the cockpit (which they don't in this video). Sorry but fingers down from me and aa grade of 3/10.
Thank you for your feedback! This video was published a while ago. Due to the feedback form viewers like you, music is completely withdrawn on the newer videos. Instead the focus is on communication in the cockpit, air traffic control or (if available) the ATIS recording.
I suggest you watch this video: ruclips.net/video/Nkud0VNvLqA/видео.html
This shows the same approach to Heraklion, recorded recently with several cameras, no music and the original audio from the flight. Please let me know if you like that better.
Here is a playlist with the newest videos which show outside views, pilots at work and the original audio from the flights: ruclips.net/p/PLa2FUXnb0gRBWKIahxrhiYXs8nIQvcvYd
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos The new video is a miles better than the original one, well done. Now we can hear the engines and the cockpit conversation. Thank you!!!
Thank you for the great feedback!!!
Dieses... Spoilers 😏😏.... Sehr Cosy und Moody 😂😂
Danke fürs Anschauen!
😯😯😯😯😯😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍
Thanks for the nice feedback!
Die Musik braucht kein Mensch.
Danke fürs Feedback! Die neueren Videos haben aufgrund ähnlicher Rückmeldungen keine Musik mehr und der Ton-Fokus liegt mehr auf der Kommunikation im Cockpit und mit der Flugsicherung. Hier ist ein später aufgenommenes Video vom Anflug zur Landebahn 27 auf Heraklion ohne Musik, dafür mit Cockpit-Audio und Video. Produziert mit mehreren Kameras: ruclips.net/video/Nkud0VNvLqA/видео.html
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos Sehr schön, denn die Video`s sind richtig gut und die Musik lenkt nur ab. Danke und weiterhin viel Erfolg. Ich bin dabei!!
the music ffs
Thanks for the valuable feedback! My newer videos contain no background music anymore and provide ATC- and cockpit-communication and ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) audio instead.
Pitty the fool who put music over this
I am the person who put the music over it. This was long time ago. My newer videos contain no music anymore and feature the original cockpit audio instead. Here is a video of an approach to Heraklion without music ruclips.net/video/Nkud0VNvLqA/видео.html
why the horrible music 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Thanks for watching and your feedback! Because of the feedback from the viewers, my newer videos have no music anymore. Instead the focus is on the cockpit communication. Please checkout these videos and tell me how you like them Thank you and have a nice day!
A short while ago, we recorded the same approach again with 4 cameras, showing the pilots and the outside views. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/Nkud0VNvLqA/видео.html
delete the music, its stupid.!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback. I like videos with music much more, But due to your request and the request of others, I will publish my next videos without music. Thank you again!
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos i thinks the music is great/
@@ApproachandDepartureVideos the music was very soothing. I thought it added a lot
@@judsonwall8615 No, I love this channel but this music is inappropriate. Most people who look for this kind of channel are keen on aviation and want to hear the real sounds of the plane. Background music seems like you're not that interested in the content and need music to keep your attention. Music is great for some videos but not aeroplanes.
The music is a distraction
I am sorry about that. All my newer videos contain no music anymore. Instead, the audio is the original audio from the cockpit.
