Awesome video❤. Nice island. Super smooth landing🛬 the touchdown was spot on.🥀looking great, Michelle😘
Really amazing i loved 💕
@@bernardbouzon5499 Yes that will be a nice one! Been there recently but the weather was bad so no view at all, hopefully get to go there again soon!
Beautiful landing! The 737 is such an elite plane. I cant wait to fly it one day!
With a turn on approach that was far from a simple landing. The professionalism of you and the captain made it look easy. In complete awe. Keep up the good work.
Look forward to your take off and landing videos ! They are so enjoyable, the viewer can feel the thrill of almost being in the cockpit. The step by step details of the process makes it so great for an aviation geek like me. Thank you.
Very nice video! I have to go there and try it out for myself. 😊
Big fan sir!
She’s a better pilot than you. I’m sure you qualify for this type of landing. I’m real sorry bro.
You should have tried it in the old days before the runway extension. 🙂
Just try it on a simulator... lol
You need to be qualified, to land here in Madeira. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As someone living on this island who tends to travel a bit, I have always wondered what the view from the pilot was at landing times, this cleared it out thank you!
my dog stepped on a bee.
The airport looks clean and crisp, almost like brand new. The walk/hike above clouds sounds interesting. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome Wiley!
the runway was extended in 2000 to 2 781, partially over pillars, the terminals were rebuilt to what we have today.... I believe the single accident there was with the TAP Boeing 727-200 in 1977 with 131 deceased and 33 injured. A memorial was built where the plane exploded
EU money comes handy haha
@@TheGabrielPT You wouldn't believe how clever Madeirians are to spend EU money to improve and to make this beautiful island more modern. Respect - honestly! I've been there 3 times so far and before I die I'm planning another 50 :-)
Been there, landed on 5th of August. I love this place.... airport, people...everything is so good! And even plane spotting is first class!
Must be cool to just watch planes land there!
@@DutchPilotGirl it is. You can do it from two spots. One outside of airport and second one from is located on third floor inside of the airport itself.
The inserts you provide for speed, flap settings, checks etc are first class. So helpful.
Driving away from the airport, one can see how amazing this runway is. From the highway, it resembles an elevated city highway perched on a forest of concrete pillars at least 50 metres high. On take-off, there is no soaring climb into the air, just a continuing gentle climb as the wheels leave the ground and the rocky coastline replaces it under the wings.
It was great. How you all went onto final...and just went right in to the field. Loved seeing and hearing what was going on in the cockpit. You make it look so easy but I know you went through a lot of training to get to where you are.
Very cool to see this approach and landing from the cockpit in real life. I've done it a few times in MSFS 2020 and it's certainly challenging. Thanks for sharing!
We flew into Funchal earlier this year (as passengers) - great sight from the air! All respect to pilots who land here. Ours got a round of applause 👏
I have landed there several times always interesting, I remember as a kid in the 70's landing on the old runway in a TAP 727 felt like the pilot had the breaks on before the wheels touched the ground luggage fell out of the overheads people screaming....pilot was already turning around while we were still slowing down fun stuff.....
Thank you for doing the extra work to explain what is going on in the cockpit during the video through the graphics. Another beautiful destination.
Great video, I love the 'sight seeing U-turn' before lining up for landing; seeing our own hotel at the coast made it very personal. It has been one of our most beautiful holidays even out of season (September) Thanks for posting this and making it all look so easy.
I flew there in 2016 from Faro on a Sata Q400. Incredible airport to fly into. There are so many fantastic spots to watch the planes come in from all over Europe all along the coast and from the roadstops on the mountain roads.
Thank you Michelle for sharing your aviation journeys. I know Funchal is in the top 10 (if not top 5) of challenging airports and good to see this one from the front seat pov 👍🏼 Still want to hear the ATC comms, but great video and editing too, always good quality from you. Take care and wishing safe flying. All best ❤
Great no audio atc interruptions
Ok 2 things. 1. Such a beautiful view out the windshield, thank you for sharing. 2. I'm not some dolt but am I the only one still enamored and amazed by aviation. I understand physics and aerodynamics, but it is still incredible to me that humans imagined designed built and now fly these huge machines with such grace. Again thank you for sharing
I love all your notes on the screen. Thanks for the memories. I'm retired Capt American Airlines, 18,400 hrs, 30 years.
Loved this approach! You make it look so easy. What a beautiful view for an airport!!!! Thanks for the pro editing (I know it takes a lot of work) and for sharing with us!
Wow this was such a beautiful approach. This is such a good idea to share these experiences on KZhead. I am grateful for content like this. 😊💚
Thank you for taking me along Michelle, a fantastic flight from the cockpit view. looking forward to our next flight ✈✈🛫🛫🛬🛬☺☺😚😚🥰🥰
Michelle I’m now in my 70,s and I’d love to be sitting in the 3rd seat just watching this landing live, this is the next best thing great post,
Great video! I love how you mix actual footage with flight map and other relevant data!
Perfect! I've flown in to Madeira as a passenger a few times, and always knew it was a difficult one. I didn't know it was a 'Captain-only' procedure though. Interesting! The approach and landing I have always found totally awesome is the one into Innsbruck. Amazing when you have jagged mountain peaks on both sides as you descend down to the threshold.
Only Madeira certified pilots can approach this airport. :) They have to do a test in a simulator to be certified as far as I know. :)
I know it well.
@☠ Shaheed no ... Madeira is too difficult for autoland
@@gamma_dablam not a question of difficulty but there is certainly no ILS on this airport, because it is expensive. Also the crew must be qualified to autoland, and naturally the aircraft must have its two autopilots available etc.
I love your approach videos, they are so well edited and full of information as well as downright beautiful. Would you consider uploading a narrated version where you explain all the technical details you put on screen?
I might do that in the future :)
Wow! Amazing content! I especially enjoyed the interesting facts and graphic information inserted during stretches when the view outside remains relatively static; it’s a very effective way to maintain a high level of engagement. This was my first video of yours and I immediately subscribed. Thank you!
Love Madeira, diverted to Porto Santo when there were thunderstorms over Madeira. Very good insight into how challenging this airport is for a pilot
Another terrific video Michelle, thanks. I've flown to Funchal twice in recent years, landing on that same runway. Neither were as pleasant as your arival. The first time was best described as alarming with gusting and windshear so the aircraft was slewing from side to side quite violently on the run in. We were expecting a 'go around', but eventually the pilot just dropped it quite heavily as soon as he was over the runway. Wish you'd been driving 🤣. The take off is also interesting with dropping the starboard wing and banking right as soon as airborne. In fairness the pilot had warned us that this would happen, necessary due to the terrain ahead. Love all your videos which are so well produced, edited and so much information on screen....thanks again.
Thanks Roger! Appreciate your kind words :)
Incredible . Airline Pilots are amazing , skilled and calm , controlled and collected . Cannot imagine how that landing would be in bad weather , uugghh , just the thought . Thanks for sharing , one word comes to mind ……Majestic .
They do not land in bad weather, planes usually get diverted, they simply will not risk it. TAP pilots are more likely to try it because they are more used to landing in Madeira.
Much respect to the pilots! The responsibility they carry on their shoulders with over 100 lives in their hands makes them as skilled in their profession as any surgeon. All I can say is *Wow!*
I flew that approach several times in the 1980s before the rebuild of the airport when there was only one turnoff at ramp level and no taxiway. I was ferrying small aircraft to Africa and my route was St. Johns, Newfoundland, Santa Maria, Azores, Funchal and then on to Abidjan, Cote D'ivoire. Our takeoff were generally about 30% overweight due to fuel. Fun approach and airport. Thanks for the video.
Incredible footage and perspective! Thanks for taking us along on the trip! Congrats on 300k subs!
Thanks!
Masterful and professional approach and landing! Very beautiful!! I am virtually familiar with this airport. I tried to land there on an Airbus A320 (in the cockpit of an air trainer, not in real aircraft!), and it was very, very difficult! My instructor told me that even he does not have permission to land in Madeira, and it is one of the most difficult airports in Europe. Thank you for this video!
Glad to hear you like it! Yes it's a challenging airport to fly into! Have a great weekend!
Last year I flew from Gatwick to Funchal. 30 knot crosswinds at Funchal developed en route and we were diverted to Port Santo, where we sat for two hours. The gusts didn't abate and we flew all the way back to Gatwick, arriving around midnight and a two-hour wait for a fairly pointless hotel room, only to get up again at 5am for a 7am rematch.
Been to Madeira loved it and want to go back! While I was there my hotel was just a 10 minute walk to the airport. Needless to say I walked a few time to the airport and sat up on the the hill over looking the airport and watched landings and takeoffs. Totally enjoyed my time there. Thank You for the cockpit landed. As always totally enjoy your channel and your videos. Mahalo 🌸
What a great video, I love how you put the procedures and what is going on etc up on screen with tags to the controls/runway etc… VERY informative and interesting. Please don’t change this type of content 😊
Really enjoyed this, great teamwork! I live close to Embry Riddle in Daytona Beach and pleased to say my 23 year old son who recently graduated college is considering moving down here to enroll in one of the many flight academies we have down here. Will share this video with him!
Thanks Robb, wish him luck!
@@DutchPilotGirl Thank you, I will! We have lots of pilots living in our apartment complex, all of them very young and they are all so friendly and willing to give me lots of advice on how my son should plan a possible career in aviation.
Robb, the Americans are saying that pilot training courses are valuable these days due to the imminent needs to hire competent new pilots. The problem about using this airport as a recruiting tool is that she is absolutely right in saying it is far more difficult than normal approaches. Unfortunately it is the only "major" airport serving a politically sensitive and vital outpost of the Portugalese nation.
@@martintheiss4038 Being American it's unlikely my son would ever have to fly into this airport but having said that Dutch girl made it look so easy!
One thing that I really liked about your videos is the captions and extra information that you provide during the flight, you are doing good work, lots of love from India
I find these videos beautiful and calming at the same time. Watching this lovely lady flying these planes puts me totally at ease!
As cabin crew, Funchal is always a challenging landing 😊😊
Another great video. I can see that being a really challenging approach in adverse conditions. Thanks for posting, that's made my Sunday.
Thanks for your kind words, appreciate it! Have a nice day
Thank you for this beautiful video Michelle. I am loving the format with the pilot’s point of view and the landmark information and checklist items. Very nicely done.
Tried 05 approach several times on MSFS2020 in the FBW A320, I have a big respect for any pilot that can fly this approach! IT IS NOT EASY!
One of the most incredible landings I've made in my life... a few months after the only plane crash this airport had (in 1977). It's a 'must' for anyone who likes these themes! God speed!
I think this was before the runway was extended, like you not a funny experience
Perfect 👍 pretty Dutch girl, your vlogs are so informative , sub titles make it more interesting 🌟🌟🙏 fly safe 👌🌹
Hey girl, been to Madeira once but we had the opposite end approach, Stil spectacular though. Levada walks are great as are the glass walkway and the valley of the nuns.
I've been there 3 times already, always flew onboard the Dash 8-Q400 from the Azores Islands. Always intense, and unforgettable moments.
Wonderful video. The first time I went to Funchal was before they extended the runway. We had to take off with very little fuel and then landed at Porto Santo to refuel for the trip back to the UK. And the takeoff was wonderful as it was full power until the whole plane was shaking then release the brakes. I think it's time I had another trip there.
had a pathetic day but I come home to this now my day is a bliss 🥰💓
Hope you feel better soon!
Seemed a lot smoother than most of the 737 landings I've experienced !
New sponge rubber runway surfacing materials. Advances in technology still happening!
Respect! Also I like how you included all the little annotations so the viewer knows what's going on.
Loved seeing this landing in particular since I have travelled to Madeira on lots of occasions to visit family there. It was lovely 🥰
Wow, what a beautiful landing, it's always nice to see the inside too eheh, thanks for your visit and publicity about our island! 🤩👌
HIi Michelle! ❤😊 3 months wait was worth! Another magnificent video! Thanks for this Sunday treat! I would like to see Zakynthos approach, as you had replied me in one of your videos that you will upload Zakynthos approach, since then I have been waiting.🤔 The island is sheer beauty and no wonder how scintillating the approach video would be! Have a great weekend Michelle!
Hi Sonu, the Zakynthos video is still in production, only have one camera angle so not sure if people find it as interesting as the newer format featuring at least 2 angles. But I will continue to work on it :) Have a great weekend !
@@DutchPilotGirl Okay Michelle! Thanks for the info! 👍
I love Madeira ❤ This year, I made my first ever flights as a passenger. EPWA - LPPT - LPMA. Before, I only "flew" in Microsoft Flight Simulator and watched thematic videos on KZhead. Good destination for the first flight 😉
Had some very sketchy landings there as a passenger in the late 80's before the runway was extended, you could tell which passengers were visiting for the first time as they'd be clapping as soon as the wheels hit the tarmac. I remember one particular landing when touchdown seemed way too late and I watched familiar markers going past the window much faster than usual, the people clapping must have sensed the unease of us seasoned visitors to the island, applause turned to silence very quickly. You both made this landing look very easy, very nice skill.
I have worked for Boeing (named Spirit Aerosystems since 2005) in Wichita, Ks since 1986. I've held many jobs over the years including Trim and Drill Mechanic, Tooling, Quality Investigator, Shop Manager and for the last 28 years, Research and Development. I've worked on DBT's (Design Build Teams), now called IPT's (Integrated Product Teams) for nearly every new aircraft and derivative since 1993. I've been involved with work on the 737 Classic, 737 NG and now the 737 MAX for my entire career out here, well, along with 777, 787, 767 and now Airbus A220 and new Defense projects since we now do work for other customers after Boeing sold us. Anyway, I love the 737's and really enjoy watching videos like this. I will say, your videos are truly amazing with the quality video equipment and all the details that pop up and the flight maps, etc. Thanks for all your hard work on the videos and thanks for sharing. Take care
Besides being easy on the eyes, you are an incredible pilot.
One of the best approach/landing videos I've seen. I have liked, commented, and subscribed as I hear that's the best way to support :) The video was great and look forward to watching more!
Nice to have this view. In real life I've seen this from a passenger seat once. Also it's a very good island to walk if you're getting to old for much climbing. Walking along the "levada's" (water canals for irrigation) is also very nice and not really challenging...this on contrary to an isle as La Palma. No , it's not suitable for rollator or wheel chair, those paths....)
One important moment that stood out to me was the Post-Landing checklist bc of how detailed and precise it was. It also makes for a great study guide.
greetings from a portoguese in switzerland. always nice to see my country in new videos when far away from home. thank you.
Great notes to help us understand what we're seeing. Glad you are including the cockpit discussions and radio channel -- for me, a little more volume on the cockpit discussions and radio would be good. In this case it would be interesting to have some drone footage of the area around the runway to give a sense of what y'all would be dealing with in case of a "go around".
I was in Madeira in 2016. It's wonderful island. My father was born there. I was impressed with part of the runway above the sea, it´s a great engineering feat.
I flew there twice on the old runway, so short we could not take off with a full load of fuel and had to hop to Porto Santo to tank up.
@@tomvalentine4928 That's strange. I flew there in 1978 or '79 from Porto, Portugal (therefore long before the runway was extended), and don't remember any stopover in Porto Santo for refueling on the way back to the mainland.
@@miguelcoelho3877 I was flying to Manchester, UK, so would presumably have needed more than twice the amount of fuel needed for a flight to Porto. We were told the plane could not take off with enough fuel for a flight to the UK from the old Funchal airstrip so we had a short flight to Porto Santo which had a longer airfield and allowed us to take on enough fuel to fly back to England. Did it two consecutive years .
@@tomvalentine4928 Haha, yes, that makes sense. I'm just not sure if in those days in the late '70s, there were any direct flights from the UK to Madeira without a stopover in Lisbon first. Edit: flights, not flies, oopsy...
@@miguelcoelho3877 I don't know about the '70s but I can confirm that we went in 1982 ( my first ever flight) and 1983 with Brittania Airways direct from Manchester to Funchal
Very informative videos well done so the average person can see and understand what pilots go through to get us all safely to our destinations. Thank you for all that you do.
lmfao no pilot actually watches this. There is something called flight school for professionals, but your brain just goes to youtube and thinks you are some kind of expert.
Great video we landed here 2 days ago our touchdown came with quite a thump a lady sat next to us had been here before when runway was shorter they had to abort landing and go round again. Airport was lovely and clean we are really enjoying Madera is a great place gardens are beautiful.
I was just in Madeira on a cruise last month - what a beautiful island!!
Great footage as always! This has to be one of the best and most challenging approaches you've done.
It certainly is, especially during bad weather conditions..
I remember visiting Ponta Delgada in the 1980’s. The passengers would all hold their Rosaries during landing. The breaking was so severe everything on the floor would be catapulted down the aircraft. The terminal building was like a wooden shed. I recall that the runway had a cliff at the end of it - hence the breaking. It was a strange place. The toilets in the bars were overflowing and soaking into the carpets in the bar. They had a festival going on. The girls were crawling around the square on their knees and the illuminations looked lethal. Thank goodness we had our RN trials ship on which we slept.
Totally love your videos, the annotations and ifo displays, and of course seeing your beautiful smile at the beginning! Thanks You again and again!!!
Gdy załoga podchodziła do lądowania, bałem się tak, jakbym sam siedział za sterami samolotu. Znakomity film, dziękuję bardzo 😊
I remember landing at the old airport 40 years ago. Even hairier than that. Ask any really old colleagues. Take off weight severly restricted. Rolling turn and away then a landing at Porto Santo to refuel. Those were the days 😊
Before the table runway extension 😮
@@gamma_dablam I thought it was nearear to Funchal. As it was 40+ years ago my memory may be faulty. When I visited last September I was amazed at the new roads, bridges and general expansion of Funchal. I wont wait another 40 years!
Michelle, so happy for you to have such a successful and exciting aviation career, and really enjoy your videos. Do you ever pass through Gibraltar? If so, that might be an interesting approach to view. Thanks and greetings from the USA!
i love gibraltar...the country that two seas meet!!!)
Unfortunately Gibraltar is probably the only place in Europe we have any sway over, not even sure the Gibraltarians like us much either! Its' only the British based airlines that fly in - unfortunately no Dutch carriers serve it.
@@M20RUM i talk about land, not people, but anyways!!! :)
I love the information pop-ups to let us know what's going on and the facts about the destination. . It makes the video much more interesting. Keep up the good work.
This is VERY helpful and informative! Wow! What an approach! Looks like quite a bit of turbulence--seems like the Captain was really having to work the controls!
I have sadly developed a fear of flying over the past 10 years. Before that i had lived in the USA, Spain, Greece and UK and flew regularly. This may sound a bit strange but watching this video has actually made me feel like i want to try to board a plane again. I'm not sure why the video made me feel better about it, maybe seeing how calm and relaxed the crew are and that its the not being able to see ahead syndrome that gets to me. Thank you.
You must be sure pilots not recording video in time of piloting. Health and safety stuff have to know what I'm talking about. Be safe and know we're on one bot.
Quando seu avião é pilotado por um anjo, a sensação de segurança fica maior, rsrs
Muuuuh
Beautiful video as always. And I have to say that these videos have helped me with my anxiety when it comes to flying. ❤❤
Amazing landing total professionalism at its best. I was in Maderia this year with jet2 and landing was amazing also. I liked the on screen info. Thanks for a great post.
Heyy love from INDIA❤❤I really love your content...I know you have a very busy schedule but i would love to watch at least weekly videos of yours!!
Thanks! I would also love to upload on a weekly basis.. just don't have the time unfortunately.. I am expanding the team though so might be able to at least do 1 video per month minimum..
@@DutchPilotGirl Great!! please visit INDIA i would love to welcome you
Beautiful landing. Thanks for sharing this, have a nice Sunday! 😎
Hi Alexander, you too!
I love my Netherlands peoples. Went out with a dear girl from Friesland. The whole family came from there to Canada. Love those people! Thank you for the great photos!
Netherlands people? Dutch?
@@stormwarning1235 The originals are, We all are dealing with mass immigration!
Hi Michelle, I learned to fly in Whitehorse Yukon, flying Cessna 150, and Cessna 172, also Piper Cherokee, and Piper Cub, and Dual engine Piper Aztec, have some night flying and instrument training, then I built my own Murphy Spirit Biplane, and flew it from Whitehorse Yukon to Hope B.C. a distance of over 3840 KM 's I really enjoy everyone of your excellent videos, so very well done! Thank You, Kenneth
Great video, thank for taking the time to do it and shearing it. Cheers to you
You're welcome Jacques!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MICHELLE! I am into aviation aswell!
Thanks Alvaro!
Thank you for sharing never seen a video like this before! I've always wanted to fly but will never be able to afford the training so this is just amazing to get to see.
Very nice one Michelle. Lovely shots in the big turn just before landing. Enjoyed it, thx.
What a BEAUTIFUL approach! Keep these videos coming Michelle! Much Love ❤
Thanks!
Everything is beautiful in this video: Sky, sea, landing and PILOT
Seriously? So it’s a female pilot and here come the lonely boys commenting on her appearance.
@@tomdavis3038 u mad?
Flew there from Lisbon many years ago - seemed like the pilot had engaged reverse thrust before touchdown (was before the runway extension) - watched a Dan Dare 727 take off before we carried on - "exciting"!
Always great to watch your journeys through the skies. Be safe and happy. Cheers. Almost forgot, make more videos please as time allows you of course..
That was very enjoyable, nice scenery, interesting the way they have the runway so close to the sea, not ideal if there's a flood you'll agree
Thanks John! The airport is close to the see but elevated... Don't think it will ever get flooded, checkout some pictures on google, it's interesting to see the extended runway ;)
@@DutchPilotGirl hi Michelle I will do that thanks for the suggestion, maybe with all this climate change and rising sea levels they may have to revisit the elevation of the runway eh ,mind yourself and safe flying
By the time sea water floods that runway half of europe will be flooded, you can go under the runway and look up, the columns are about 80m tall... At most it's at some minor risk of landslides, which are the main danger in a mountain terrain like we have here in Madeira.
@@Zepherian yeah you're probably right, you know yourself it always looks different on a screen versus reality
I have been to Madeira a few times and never had any landing problems but a few of my friends have been on flights where the plane has had to make a couple of approaches, so they had to have a couple of pops ie, large brandies when they landed as it was a bit scary.
Just got back myself 2 weeks ago. Amazing! I think the 23 approach is under appreciated breath taking beauty
One time i could land in lpma on the cokpit of the CS-TQH in operation to air luxor at a great landing and the view from the cokpit it was beautiful
Been to madeira twice now and its a beautiful place to go and visit. the gardens and view are amazing and the food is great. Interesting fact about madeira: Unlike it's other island neighbours such as gran canaria and tenerife, which suffer constant water shortages and have to rely on desalination, Madeira has several natural volcanic springs, which produce very high quality spring water. Your tap water is perfectly safe to drink and tastes great!

Hi Tania, Glad you like the video. I also have a recording of the take off featuring Madeira, might be able to create a video about it ;)
…Amazing Michelle, as always!
Thanks Sergio!
…quick note, just wanted to thank you, Thanks to you and your inspiring book my daughter has decided to become a professional pilot; your book did a great part on answering all her questions, thank you again…you are the best!
Great video DutchPilotGirl! Spectacular images! I really enjoyed this! Very well done!!!
Yes Michelle, That was a great approaching of you from your flight BOEING 737 to Madeira. Again you did your excellent flying Michelle. My congratulations. I love watching more flying videos of you
You know, that runway used to be much shorter. It was prolonged in the 90's I think. Before that, planes had to apply strong brakes and reversers in order to stop in time. I remember people would start applauding inside the plane, when it came to a halt. Nowadays is a much easier landing.....
It was extended in the 80's after the tragedy of 1977.
