Hi, I'm captain Karen Atherton. I've been a commercial airline pilot for 26 years. I'm here to talk you through one of the most challenging approaches and landings,陈启杰 which takes place in British Airways every day. The senior first officer joining me on the flight deck is Paul Regla.I am currently one of only 27 captains qualified to carry out this landing on the Airbus 318 to London City on our exclusive premium service to New York.
From a pilot's perspective, this is one of the most interesting approaches anywhere in the world. As we commence the initial turn欢途网 , passing the London Eye on the left, the runway is at 90° to the right of us.
London city is a unique airport in its location in the heart of a major capital with its proximity to the Shard新恶魔岛 , the tallest building in the UK, which you can see out to the right-hand window and also the small size of its runway.
Only British Airways's most experienced Airbus pilots can apply to fly on the route. All pilots on this bespoke 318 service must pass a rigorous extra training program of simulator and route flying before being accepted onto the fleet.
Our 318s are unique because they have the long range and the steep approach capability. They are equipped with special navigation systems to operate in the North Atlantic oceanic control area and over intercontinental ranges. They also have more powerful engines. In fact蔡明的胸 , the aircraft has a better power-to-weight ratio and acceleration than Concord.
The runway is directly in front of us surrounded by water to the left of and above the O2 Arena. Our regular customers particularly enjoy this route to the airport as it affords a view which is unparalleled.
As we start our descent with Canary Wharf below our right wing妙偶天成 , it's easy to see one of the main challenges of operating into London City. The approach is steep草蛉卵 , 5.5 degrees compared to the more usual 3 degrees used at other airports. This allows us to minimize the noise footprint of the approach and operate safely around the built-up areas of the city.
The aircraft itself is specially modified to allow it to fly this approach, using spoilers on the wing to produce enough aerodynamic drag to maintain the approach speed. Taking manual control of the aircraft at 1000 feet, the 3-clicks is the sound of the autopilot disengaging. This is followed by the voice callout of "STANDBY STANDBY FLARE"娱乐大丈夫 , which warn me to prepare for the landing maneuver.
As we reach the end of our approach, you can also see that the runway is a little shorter than most苦蜜 , which requires pinpoint accuracy when landing. Placing the main wheels on the tarmac softly but firmly ensures the aircraft can be safely stopped on a 1350 meters of runway.
The aircraft is equipped with powerful brakes and thrust reversers新奇军论坛 , which mean we still only need little more than half the runway length to stop. We then carry out a U-turn on a runway that is significantly narrower than the one at Heathrow. The aircraft can achieve a complete 180° turn within its own body length.
In August层峦叠翠的意思 白龙尾岛 , the service will complete 25 million miles since its inception, a remarkable achievement in just over 6 years of operation with only two aircraft. This is the equivalent of 100 trips to the moon or circling the earth 1000 times.
