Hi everyone

I made a video of me landing an Alpha Blue VA 737-800W at Rome Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino Airport (LIRF). And this time its not a wingview landing

You can view it here

Now I do realise I floated a bit when flaring, but I was trying to get as smooth a landing as possible

I hope you like it!!

Tim

Its a nice video 👍 I like the sounds of the aircraft and its a good angle with a centered landing. Only thing I would suggest is playing around with a few different views to see how that works - otherwise, very nice! 😉

Yeah I can see what you mean about different camera views, but if I move the camera with my hatswitch when fraps is running it tends to get a bit jerky for a second before becoming smooth again.

I'll think about it for future videos though, thanks for the nice comment and the tip 😀

Excellent sound, great scenery and a beautiful landing.
As already said, one view gets a little long.
Nice job.

Nothing wrong with that landing. We should all do them like that all the time. 😀
