6:05 Congratulations, you managed to land. Now you might as well sell the 747 to a developer so it can be turned into an aviation theme restaurant, because it'll never be able to take off and leave 😂
If we are able to land so big aeroplanes at this airport, then that means that its flight model is not so good. because its impossible in real life to land these planes here. Right?
What would happen if for some reason this worked in real life, is they would strip out as much weight as possible (seats and stuff, for example) and take off at the minimum weight with as much flaps as possible. You'd be surprised how low the takeoff speed for a plane can be when truly empty!
As someone that has done things like this, I can indeed say that a fully loaded A320neo is able to take off from Saba if you are willing to get the APU Exhaust a bit wet
With the hornet on approach, remember: throttle for altitude, pitch for speed. You should be maintaining a constant ~18 degrees nose up with around -3 degrees vvi at 120 kt and mostly adjusting power to stay on the glideslope
That's... waaaaay slow AoA for the legacy, and I have a feeling that didn't change for the Rhino. Matter of fact, Legacy should be maintaining 8 degrees AoA with a three degree glideslope all the way in. And pray you got wires, because the brakes ain't all that much.

I have flown into that airport a few times. First thing is that the approach, in my 5 times there, has always been from the opposite direction. I would like to see the take off, or even the turn around. I don't think that it would work so well. That being said, the simulator is absolutely incredible in what it looks like there. To let you know, in 2011, the last time I was there, they had a 0 fatality for any landing or take off. I hope that is still the case.
Its an awesome little airport. I have been there in 2011, just for 1 day, see the island, climb to the top and same day back to St. Maarten. Looks very real in MFS.
Just wanted to say thank you for this vid! I cracked up several times because of the wonky landings (the first F-18 "landing" was particularly hilarious!) Also, the parlor music you used for the failed AN-225 landings was really funny! The cinematic you used at the very end for the successful landing was particularly sweet! I could watch 100 videos of this quality. Thank you :)
I think I'll try that in one of the next video's, but I think taking off with the widebody planes is impossible here (maybe if you have a headwind of like 50 knots haha)

@@abcdefgh6121 yes that's true, for some planes the flight model is good (like the FBWa320) but I think the braking is just not very realistic sometimes
Wow, that is a short runway! I wish real 787s could bounce off the rocks like that. The *real* challenge, obviously, would be to land Concorde on that strip . . .
@@alexrox321 Probably because the huge flaps on F-18, although when landing on land, they dont need to use full flaps, in that case they can aerobrake like F-16. It also relate to training, U.S navy pilots are trained to land on carriers, even when they land on airfields, their landing is still a bit different than airforce pilot, and usually dont flare(probably for better landing precision). However, countries like Australia that also fly F-18 but in airforce does flare their jets, but the nose still dosent raise as high as F-16.
Both sides of my family come from Saba. I've made the landing about half a dozen times. By the way, to my knowledge , nobody has ever used Runway 30 to land from that direction.
I'm no advanced pilot so this is the kind of stuff I do. Lately I've been trying to land the Concorde at Friday Harbor safely. Obviously it hasn't been working out but I haven't given up.
I really enjoyed (and laughed) watching the video. The Antonov AN-225 is an aircraft that I love. I've flown it a lot in MSFS v4. I've always marvelled at the patience you have to have to handle it, especially when it comes to landing.
Hey mate, when you get that voice alert "don't sink" it means you should approach from a greater hight, than you just slide gently without using throttle at all!! You should use the wings and gravity only with the stick - after all its a plane not a car..❣😉
You'd probably have an easier time with the F/A-18 if you were flying from the cockpit with the HUD since the HUD has a velocity vector, E bracket and AoA indexer on it. It'd let you put it right at the end of the runway.. Also starting with more altitude and more AoA will probably make things easier. Carrier landings are at 8deg AoA, ~130knots and -700vfpm. Can definitely go slower and more AoA and higher descent rate
About 20 years ago I got to see the AN-124 land at the Medford, OR airport. Not sure why it was there, I think it had something to do with Erickson Aviation, but when it was flying in, it just kept coming, I kept thinking, "It HAS to be here already!" it took probably 10 minutes from when we could first see it to when it finally reached the end of the runway to turn around, it was MASSIVE. I couldn't imagine seeing the AN-225 since its supposed to be longer. I've flown on a 747 and an A380, but for some reason, the AN-124 seemed so much larger than those were.
@@arandompersonontheinternet2282 i believe they have actually used it to land on dirt landing straps, they use special wheels and landing gears. I could be wrong tho maybe it was one of the smaller antonovs

Ain’t gonna lie but the initial impact while landing would have broken the tail section off in all the planes that landed that way lol But as we know everything is possible in game by the use of some tweaks here and there 😂
"Yeah, I'm sat in the carpark - not far from the runway. Nice day, not much cloud. Oh, hang on - they're on approach now. I'll get into the terminal, speak to you later, bye" "OH FUUUUU*CKKKKK!"
FYI in the planes that have the verbal "Dont Sink" Warning there is usually a brightly colored acknowledge button to stop it (pretty sure in the cessna 172 with anphibs its next to the landing gear button)
