RC India - Flying and racing with open minds !

From the Youtube description of the video :


Landing at LAX International Airport via the SADDE Six Arrival.

The song is "Los Angeles" by Sugarcult. If you like the song please use one of the links below to buy it so maybe progressive bands like Sugarcult will let us continue to use their music on our homemade non-commercial videos. Mahalo!

General response to comments:

First, thanks for all the positive comments. It was an amazing night and the combination of the Sadde Six approach, the sunset, the visibility, and ATC allowing us to drop down to 2,000 feet all worked together. I'll probably never get that chance again.

Here are some general responses to the many comments:

The video is sped up to somewhere between Mach 1 and Mach 2. The original idea was to a) compress a 30 minute approach into three minutes; and b) to see what it would look like if you you were riding on the back of a cruise missile.

The camera was a Canon S95 which is a great pocket low light camera. This video simply wouldn't have been possible with any other pocket camera. If you want a great travel camera, be sure to check it out.

The video was shot in 720p at 24 FPS. I'm not sure why YouTube dumbed it down but I'll see if I can correct that. It's stunning in HD.

The camera was mounted via a small tripod with velcro out of our way and line of site. Ultrapod I think it's called. Nothing fancy.

I realize a lot of you think the song sucks and that I'm a douche bag but I'm not posting the video in real time with the ATC track. Not gonna happen. That's not fair to the other pilots and controllers on the frequency.

To keep the video from being totally dull I added a music soundtrack. Again, I realize it's not for everyone but that's just the way it is.

That said, there's so much interest from the flight simulator crowd I might republish the approach in real time and no sound. Check back later.

Again, my main purpose for making this video was for the benefit of my airline friends who have kids. They have an attention span of three minutes and want to see exactly what it is Daddy or Mommy does.

Wow!! Nice video.
Was the video post production increased the frame rate ? I see the plane flying too fast, so the cars on the freeways. This is more prominent with the speed with which it taxied after touchdown. What plane was that ? Some Exec Jet?

I remember some KF/Jet flight had option of watching the front and rear facing camera in the in-flight entertainment system. That was a live version but with low quality.

Yes, it says in the video that a 30minute landing was squeezed down to 3 minutes. So the video is about 10x the speed of the actual events.

With IFR flying and ILS landings, who cares about seeing the runways anymore ? Giggle
