I’ve flown in and out of that airport many times, this video brings back many memories.
Just Planes! The ORIGINAL aviation channel when there was no way to get into the cockpit and long, long before youtube!! You basically paved the way! Thank you!
Nicely done! The Captain explained things very clearly, and that is one very scenic spot to land. 👌👍
Used to fly this route all the time, miss it a lot
Flew out and in to Cancelgar many times, working in McMurray. And even though we lovingly refer to it as Cancelgar, never missed a flight! The West Kootenay area of BC is my Favorite!
cockpit and dash views. Brilliant. Cheers for sharing.
Beautiful landscape and awsome pilots
WOW!!West Kootenay Airport never thought i would see a video about this one,great job guys.
The approach it’s amazing
Truly excellent, what more can one say!
Thank you for the memories, this is the airport that I flew out of when getting my PPL in the early 80's. At the time Pacific Western Airlines was flying 737's into Castlegar and used Castlegar as a place to train there pilots for mountain flying.
And a lot of landings below minimums too! Damn place can have L O W cover. Didn’t enjoy descending into that soup.
Always enjoy watching and listening as they go over everything as they explain and point things out. Beautiful view outside these windows with amazing skies, landscape and terrain. Awesome landing that sounds amazing. I love the different camera positions in this video because you can see the outside perfectly, and you can see what and how they do things. I love it, awesome video.
Been flying the Dash 8 Q400 on XPlane 12 and absolutely love this plane
Thanks guys. I’m doing my CPL long cross country and this is one of my stops. This was a great heads up!
Beautiful views an another amazing video was fantastic thanku so much love and god bless x
Having flown this flight a few times now the pilots always do a great job landing here & taking off to go back to YVR. Love the banking coming in on 33...I always try to get a window seat on the "A" seat. Not fun when there are forest fires though!
This is an excellent video for anyone to see how really good CRM works on the flight deck. Love this 👍😊
Confident expert professional landing. I appreciate. Take care.
Love this! A local airport for me!
You know you are in good hands with a mustache like the co-pilot.
Lance is a fantastic pilot
I always heard it is a tricky airport to land at! Now, I see why! Nicely done!
Awesome video. I stopped it half way through to scope it out on google maps to find the dam they are talking about. So in the second part of the video I recognized the territory they were flying over. What fun. I’m jealous of this career. Good luck in perpetuity to you guys.
Thanks to this specific video I was able to pilot a Q400 successfully into Castlegar the first time on X-Plane 11 (the FlyJSim Q4XP). These videos are so valuable especially for flight sim pilots.
I’m considering getting the Q4XP for that same reason. YCG is one of my favourite airports, and I would love to actually pilot an aircraft into there (in real life, as well as in the flight simulator) instead of just being a passenger.
I live just adjacent to the airport in Ootischenia and have flown many times in and out of Castlegar. Lots of respect for these pilots.
Love the mighty Dash 😍😍😍😍
JP.......Wonderful views.....a pleasure to watch.....very active
Pilots.....Chapeau! Always in the sky with You JP;)
Take Care and a great weekend! Lovely greetings Betsy.
Amazing
Going in at night on Medevac flights was always fun too.
Thanks a lot! This video helped me prepare for flight into this airport!
I live there! Fantastic landing
Awesome thanks a lot !
Yeah I've flown in there a couple of times and it's crazy
Oh man this is cool. I used to fly the Dash 8 in Alaska, and MISS IT. Awesome awesome plane, I could end up in one till retirement and be happy. Cheers.
As usual you guys make it look easy.
For Gage's question. Hand mic has a keypad because before the days of ACARS which some bases don't have we can call any department in the company eg: dispatch via the keypad by pushing the numbers that equate to the airport (in this case YCG) and the numbers for the department we want to reach and get in touch with them. (system called AGRIS)
Nice Video fellows. Done that I'm sure 50 for more times in the classic. I Miss the ride. Thank you. Capt Craig Milligan (Retired).
I flew into and out of Castlegar back in 1993 on Dash 8 100s. Back then it was Air BC.
The Castlegar Golf Course looks like a nice track.
Damn good pilots! At the end they were extra heroic lol
Great stuff🍁🎯
Very nice like the. Ery nice sounds you got and nice video
As General Patton once said, "God I love it!"
Super Video
I've been in the Dash 8 a few times and I KNOW they are good aircraft, but they still scare the hell out of me! That started when I few on a Rio Airways DHC-6 Otter and I never got over it completely. LOL!!
The perfect plane for Castlegar ... The legendary Dash 8
You mean the only plane for castlegar. On the rare chance the flight is not cancelled ;)
The perfect plane for Castlegar is a light Cessna plugging along VFR with ceilings broken 2000 and 10 miles visibility while the Dash 8 is in the missed and heading to Cranbrook.
Good pilots 👍
Always more entertaining when you picked up ice on the approach😬 Gear down before the Brilliant beacon or gpws would start complaining. Did many a trip into there with Time Air/ Cdn Regional 👍
I traveled to Trail on a Dash 8, south of Castlegar, also in the mountains.
Smoke eater🏒
Not a dash 8.
I’m a year late, but flying into Castlegar always makes me feel like I’m “coming home”, because I have a lot of family in the Kootenays, so YCG has a special place in my heart. I would love to eventually pilot an aircraft into Castlegar, instead of just being a passenger.
I remember flying in there on a 737-200 with PWA. Pretty sketchy, but always a thrilling experience!
Did Canadi>n ever fly F28s in there?
Not to my knowledge, but that was years ago.
Dash 8 landing was like a down feather on a duvet cover. Nice video!
Very cool seeing a good old fashioned analog “dash”board. Always amazed during my Dash-8 flights how they pilots have to force the plane down to the runway. Those things really like to stay airborne, at least when the wings aren’t icing.
For anyone else who is wondering, CYCG, West Kootenay Regional Airport, British Columbia, Canada, just north of the US border, half way across the Rocky Mountains from Vancouver.
It is west of the Rockies, so not across from Vancouver. It would be "across" the Rockies from Calgary
Great video. Funny things in aviation...FO can maneuver through mountain canyons but as soon as they get on the ground the captain must take over.
In the Dash8, the ground wheel steering is on the captain's side. He has to take over to steer the plane to the gate/ramp.
@@SchmeedIsMe Thanks, I didn't realize that about the Dash 8. Generally though I know some airlines only allow Captains to taxi.
@@daver7465 Yes, quite a few operators limit this by an equipment option of only having a tiller on the left in addition to company policy.
Over my house at 11:05
I've flown into there with a light single engine plane and found that landing is not the challenge, it's taking off toward the north over that power station with the spiderweb of high tension wires that makes engines go into "automatic rough" till we clear the dam.
Now I know how to pronounce Castlegar. thanks!
Calcelgar. Can-SEL-gar.
Hello,
I used to fly 737s into Castlegar so this brought back memories. On a nice day with the wind favoring runway 15 we would fly down the Arrow lakes, like they did, aim for the Brilliant mountain, hang a right and land on runway 15.
I am a bit confused about a few things in this video. The briefing is for runway 33. Contacting local radio they were told the active is runway 15. They then go the extra miles to circle and land on 33 with a 10 knot tailwind. Why?
Cheers,
Peter
You flew in there. You should know.
But maybe things have changed. Castlegar is just radio, not tower.
The active runway is only if another aircraft is using it and you can use the opposite runway if you are deconflicted with the other aircraft.
Brilliant Mountain sticks into the approach for 15. Either you need a very high sink rate, or you have to cut it in on a short final. Not exactly nice for passengers and won’t meet stabilized approach criteria. I’ve landed 15 in my plane.. but our stabilized approach criteria are very lax. I imagine PWA’s was nonexistent back in the day. They had the reputation of being cowboys and were responsible for the last jet airliner crash in Canada until First Air crashed in Resolute Bay.
10 knots on the tail is nothing for a turboprop at this airport.
Interesting to see a visual approach into an uncontrolled airport, also they planned runway 15 and then landed 33 with a 10 kt tailwind
33 gives much easier approach and there is plenty of runway for a Dash 8
Waiting 😍😍😍😍
Beautiful approach, landing as smooth as ice! What is this like in IFR conditions?
Challenging, very restrictive... we nickname it Cancelgar
There’s no true IFR into Castlegar.
IFR minimums are over 2700 feet above the field and advisory visibility is 3 statue miles.
You could be doing circuits in your Cessna while the Dash 8 is going missed.
More from BC please.
More dash 8 videos please😁😁😁😁
We will try... there should be a bunch of them on our channel already...
You inspired me to be a pilot one day
the plane with the funny long struts of the landing gear
wrt the front landing gear, I can still remember being in a meeting whereby this front landing gear was shown and everybody started laughing when we saw the messy design.
Its not strange this plane has seen so many landing gear failures when landing.
When its foggy its CANCELED-gar 😂😂
Nice Dash 8 touchdown
How was the flight
intresting flight pattern??Did you file a plan
Did I miss something. First they called and were setting up for right base 15 then on final they turned from left base to land on rwy 33. Was something edited out?
@@SSaugaCriss yeah. That would mean Rwy 15 is preferred for wind. Wind is coming out of East south east at 150 degrees. You a pilot like me? It appears not. Winds are reported by ATIS or ATC as the direction wind is coming from via magnetic heading. METARS report true. So winds 270 at 10 knots would mean winds out of west. These guys changed to RWY 33 and landed with a tailwind.
33 give you a much longer approach. Local pilot
@@derekroulston1977 Thanks Derek. I have come in there from both ends -- from the direction of Nelson down the valley left base for 15. And as well left base for 33. Castlegar and Nelson are neat places to fly into for sure
@@colinben10 and a tough place to learn.
@ Derek Roulston
Visual it’s not much different. You’re doglegging it either way... from the north around Sentinel.. from the south around the same foot of the mountain the #3 goes around.
Good ole cancelgar
Why did you land on Rwy 33 when you had Rwy 15 in the plan and the wind was less than 10kts?
I’m betting shorter taxi. They probably departed on 15
Shorter taxi. When they took off they probably used 15 because it’s a shorter taxi out.
Great vid, interesting to see no sterile cockpit rule in effect for most of the approach.
They weren't talking about what they did on days off. The Captain was narrating progress on the approach. Situational awareness was never lost. Not an uncommon scenario on a line check or route check.
Are you a pilot?
Do you even have a clue what you are talking about?
Is this DHC-8-300?
I want those pilots up front if I am on that flight
Castlegar and not Co.Mayo , Ireland .
Why the "angled" final?
It’s because if the terrain, you typically take it at an angle in Castlegar.
Cockpit looks old. Which q series is it?
Not a Q. Standard 300-serie.
I’m going to quit my job as a machinist of 40 years and become a young professional pilot.
Go for it.
Im going to grow a pony tail and be a rock star. Im 55...
It would mean alot if you could upload your videos on 4k cheers just planes
There is a reason its called "Cancelgar"
I always heard cancellations going into there...now I know why!
Now AC Express flying DHC-8-400’s into YCG
Now you know why bad weather landings are often cancelled at this airport
Old fashioned cockpit.
Was in town last July on way to Grand Forks. Worst coffee shop ever.
So they briefed 33, then checked in with radio saying they were setting up for 15, then landed 33 with a 10kt tailwind. Seems confusing
Winds were 5 knots favouring 15 but might have changed in cut footage.
Why does the captain take control on the roll out?
Steering tiller only on the captains side?
Trying to figure out the accent. 20 years been flying in the USA and never heard anyone refer to a runway as “thirty three” it’s always “three three”. Maybe they’re Canadian?
When did you hear "thirty three"? Never mind, got it. The accent is Canadian ;)
Usually we say three three... but sometimes we stop caring.. like I’m sure a lot of other nationalities do.
Hi
Now I know why it's called cancelgar... there is no way to land there when there is cloud cover
Are you not required to have a Sterile Cockpit below 10,000
Quite different from other cock pit you tube videos...no iPads or touch screen avionics..these pilots use an actual check list.
This would seem to be at least 10 years old now. They do have iPads now, although actual checklists and a lack of touchscreens are still the case.
You do realize this is like 11 years old right?
And that's how it works in BC eh.
The bigger the aircraft the less pilots talk 😉
Come on pilot
I swear any Canadian pilot could land an entire country onto a continent without a blink
Any other Galwegians get very confused at first glance?
Fake news! Where’s the fog and cancelled flight?
Come on pilot
