Approach & landing runway 03R Gran Canaria Las Palmas (LPA GCLP)

Gran Canaria Airport, (Spanish: Aeropuerto de Gran Canaria) is a passenger and freight airport on the island of Gran Canaria. It is an important airport within the Spanish air-transport network.
The airport is located in the eastern part of Gran Canaria on the Bay of Gando (Bahía de Gando), 19 km south of center of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and 25 km from the popular tourist areas in the south.
The airport was an official alternative (emergency) landing site for the NASA Space Shuttle, before the ending of Space Shuttle programme in July 2011.
This flight is taking you from the east side of the island toward the airport. Due to WIP (Work in progress) we perform the VOR 03L sidestep 03R approach and have to vacate the runway at the end.
All ATC and conversations are from this flight. Enjoy the view and movie!
Greetings,
MightyMKL.

    I started watching these videos during the lockdown in March, and every once in a while I come back to see this one specifically when I miss my family... This brings me so much joy, seeing the island in the distance and how you slowly approach it, and I miss the airport too! Flying is great, I love your videos! Can't wait for the next one, I hope you're doing okay!

    Geweldig om mee te kijken! Ik kijk veel kanalen van treinmachinsten, maar dit kanaal staat nu ook bij mijn favorieten. Treinen en vliegtuigen blijven toch wel het meest zeer imposant, de trein die steeds sneller kan zoals de Thalys/TGV, en vliegtuigen die steeds groter worden (A380/Antonov 225 etc.) waarvan je denkt hoe kan dat vliegen. Algemene techniek is leuk, maar deze twee imposante vervoersmiddelen zijn nog veel meer high tech! @ Mightymkl, uw stem lijkt wel erg op die van mijn tandarts.. Niemand in uw familie als tandarts? lol

    After a bunch of videos about the Tenerife disaster, I should have searched for Gran Canaria to see how vast Gran Canaria is from which that load of planes diverted. Well, there's a lot of room, that's clear, but I don't get the sense in this video of furious activity that would explain the overload at Tenerife. Still always will wonder if all those diverting decisions make sense. Were all those planes so low on fuel?

    No, we are on a good hight over the field and departing traffic has to level of at a certain altitude if traffic is coming towards them. It is wel regulated.
