    Let me take you along to Keflavik Airport (BIKF) located in Iceland, near Reykjavik. Iceland is an epic place for road trips, northern lights spotting (in the dark), glacier/volcano walking and so much more. A cockpit view approach and landing in a Boeing 737-800 on runway 01 in Keflavik, the largest airport in Iceland. The video shows what it's like to fly an ILS approach and Visual landing in a Boeing 737 800. Interesting facts, approach charts and actual call-outs and Boeing procedures were added to provide a sense of everything that is going on inside the cockpit during landing. Would you also like to see other landings into Rovaniemi, Samos, Innsbruck, Bodo or Kos? Let me know what you think guys!

    When I was 16, my father gave me as my present a 1-hour flight in a Cessna 152 with an instructor to see if my dream to be a pilot was real or not. Turns out that the courage necessary to follow that particular dream was lacking. My life, at least my career, was meant to be on the ground. I became a chef. After 40 years I have no regret. But I have the utmost respect for those of you who manage to make the dream of flight come true. And I appreciate all of your videos; it's through your eyes (and lenses) I get to see what it would have been like. Thank you!

      I did the opposite of your profession. I spent 26 years flying in the military. Wanted to get grounded and then pursued a cooking /culinary career. Now 15 years later, I have returned to aviation. I still remain connected to culinary, but my heart has returned to aviation. I love both passions, but aviation is something that is second nature to me. I was called back to this passion and am happy to return to it.

      Don't follow your dreams, it will ruin your life, let others gloat their success online but its all about them your wasting your life watching it. In the end its zero about you.
      They lie to you from birth with that your special, then they say follow your dreams. All a lie. Positivity, ambition, etc. Its really about everyone taking advantage of you until your left with nothing.
      Aim low and ignore the noise go your own way. I wish I had now its just too late.

    This past August, I flew from Stockholm into Iceland on Iceland Air. As we approached the airport, the pilot came over the intercom to tell us he would fly around an active volcano so get your cameras ready. He flew a 360 around the volcano, dipping the wing to get a really good angle to view the lava eruption and lava flow field. I got some very nice photos. Hats off to that crew on Iceland Air.

    This brings back great memories! I lived in Keflavik back in 1987. I haven't been back, but Iceland is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to. I lived on the Navy base, and so I could see the flight line from my barracks room back then. I'm not sure how things are now, but I loved it there! I did my flight training in Spain, but I'd love to fly to Iceland and see it at my leisure now.
    Thank you for such great videos!! I love the on-screen prompts with various tidbits of information, too! I also like the breakaway shots showing the charts! Your videos are very high quality. I'd like to see more of the cockpits though (at least in this one). Multiple camera angles would really be great!
    Happy new year, beautiful lady!! I wish you all the best for 2023, and I look forward to many more wonderful videos.

Had the best job of my career there, but it was, at that time, a difficult place to live. Even travel was challenging, as Icelandair was the only airline that was allowed to fly international routes from the island.

    Love aviation; just found your channel. This is so unique, without all of the talking which consistently is going on in most videos. With the visual cues you provide it provides a MUCH better perspective on the pilot experience and let’s the viewer experience the timing of things, especially the increased workload as altitude decreased. It is easy to imagine how pilots become overwhelmed if a crisis occurs at the wrong time. Beautiful flare. I thought the sink rate sounded really fast the last 50 feet, but nope: nailed it!

    A perfect landing in a beautiful country. I was stationed in Keflavik in the early 1980's. What a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors. The waterfalls, lava fields, and glaciers were majestic. The weather you experienced is a far cry from the snowy windy winters where it was snowing 300 miles away and the flakes were landing in Keflavik. I flew in and out of Keflavik as a passenger on military aircraft many times but never got to enjoy a view from the flight deck. Thanks for the video and the opportunity to remember some good memories.

    I took some lessons a long time ago. One thing I appreciated was transitioning from flying to driving a really heavy tricycle really fast.
    I had a tricycle when I was a child and the damn thing would tip over every time I tried to turn a corner. Bicycles were easier and motorcycles even better. In fifty years of riding I only dropped a motorcycle once cornering on a patch of gravel.

This year I joined the pipeline operations team for a space mission; only 2 of us (pilot and copilot, with exchanging roles). My colleague indeed flies small aircraft as a hobby! We do lots of checks and balances, and intervene in incidents before they become crisis situations. Your videos and teachings are not too unlike what we experience, both on the spacecraft and on ground control systems. Thank you for your awesome inspiration!!!

      I apologize for asking this but could you develop a course for sale that would teach us neophytes what you do, how you do it, software used, equipment recommendations for equipment you use? The video where you synched the audio (ATC and you) and the great graphics showing you matching the switches, levers and glass and gauge settings? Even if you create things using a recommended simulator? The fast landing angle video was fantastic. I can't even imagine how much work it took to develop it. The only thing better than that was both your professionalism and natural beauty. Just a thought. I know how short we are of pilots thanks to the stupid 1,500 hour licensing rule (any other countries doing 1,500 hours because two fatigued pilots lost it in Buffalo in bad weather, or because of the age limit, and if course, the whole COVID debacle that took crew and pilots off the employee available list when CDC admited that they knew since 2020 that all of this was not necessary. Finally, we have a DOT leader who has done nothing but say yes to his boss and then fly private and fix nothing. I'm sorry for the rant but our reputation for airports and related infrastructure and policies is on the bottom of the list. Passengers blame the faces that they see and the all the pressure is put on everyone associated with the travel. If you could start your own one or two employee LLC, it might take some pressure off of you. Can't wait until I can set up a simulator. Thank You Michelle for so much patience and effort. You truly are a joy. An admirer from the USA.

WOW the Northern Lights lit up the sky and instead of sleeping we just stared out the window of the plane in amazement. Iceland is a place well worth a visit at least once in your life.

    Hii Michelle! ❤ This was worth the long wait. How was your Christmas? Did you see northern lights in Iceland? Happy New Year and all the very best for 2023! Would love to see landing into Samos and Kos in any of your forthcoming uploads!

      Beautiful approach and picture perfect landing in Iceland Michelle. Hope you had a nice Christmas and you have a Happy and Healthy New Year! We were in Amsterdam in November for a trade show at the RAI and will be back in 2023 for the same show. Visited Zaanse Schans but needed more time to visit Den Haag, Haarlem, and Utrecht. Oh well, next trip. The best time to see the Aurora (Northern Lights) is on a moonless night. The moon was full when flying from SEA to LHR/AMS so there was no chance. Congratulations on the construction of your new home!

    Thank you so much for your videos and uplifting words as always Michelle! Your positivity and ambition has really helped me during a couple of hard years and I have decided at 36 to change my life and go after my dreams of becoming a pilot no matter the obstacles and my old age. I recently quite my miserable job and moved back home to go to airline school full time and also had my first 1 hour flight towards my PPL last week and loved it! Now I am deciding on what airline school to choose over the next couple weeks and I will be going full time to get my hours and training done as quickly as possible, Ik I have a few long years ahead to get to 1500 hours but I wanted to ask what school would you recommend an American taking if you know of any? I researched ATP but wanted to see some others because it is so expensive but highly recognized. God bless and well wishes to you and your family in 2023!

      Hi Nick, its always difficult to recommend a specific flight school but we created a map with 200 of the most popular flight schools. You can find it here: www.yourpilotacademy.com/flight-schools good luck and happy new year!

      Been there. I can only agree with you sir. My only problem with recommending beautifull places to visit, is that it's a never ending chain of more and more people that will want to go visit and therefore will produce more and more emissions by using fuel burning transport vehicles like airplanes. If all of humanity would just go anywhere they'd like, global warming would increase extremely fast and our world would become so polluted, that we would destroy all of its amazing nature (like the the nature and glaciers in Iceland). So yes, visit if you really want to(because everybody deserves to see such beautifull nature), but don't take it for granted, and try your best in life to reduce your carbon footprint, so all of us and our children get to see it again sometime.

    I enjoy your videos so much! I’m entertained every time I watch one. Now, when I fly, I engage in a little banter with the pilots by noticing their stripes and ask silly questions like, “are you in the left seat today?”
    If I’m not upgraded, I usually sit in the exit row and watch the flaps during landing and feel like I know what is going on because I’ve been looking over your shoulder for so many videos!
    I’ve logged over two million miles in the air and you’ve made flying fun again!
    Thank you Michelle and have a FANTASTIC 2023!!
