British Airways flight 2263 - Scenic approach and landing into Kingston Jamaica
Hi KZread! It has been a long time since my last video.
This video is from my last Jamaica trip. It shows the approach and landing of the British Airways 2263 service to Normal Manley International Airport in the beautiful island of Jamaica. This flight was flown by aircraft G-YMME which is a Roll Royce Trent 895 powered Boeing 777-236. This was the first time that I'd flown on this particular aircraft.
I was pleased to have a clear window with no scratches and reasonable weather during the approach, though slightly overcast over Kingston towards the very end.
This video differs slightly from my last in that this time the aircraft took a much wider line than usual, affording those seated on the right hand side spectacular views of the south-east coastline.
Flight time was just under 10 hours with the usual turbulence around Bermuda :) Highlights in this video include a flypast of the Turks & Caicos islands and an overfly of Haiti towards the latter stages.
Sadly the Captain's flight update is somewhat muffled though you can make out a few phrases if you listen intently. You are hearing it exactly as it sounded - this has been an issue on my last few flights.
This video was captured by a Sony NEX-5T camera fitted with an external microphone. The colour reproduction of this camera is simply superb when compared to my previous Panasonic camcorders.

+turbofanlover Thank you! I'm still trying to get the perfect Jamaica approach video where I have a clean aircraft window along with a sunny clear day over Kingston. Things always seem to conspire so that this does not happen - this time the weather over Kingston was somewhat overcast. Last time around it was hazy :(
15:21 Listen Closely!

Wait, it flew pass Port Royal! How is it that there wasn't a turn?!
Very nice video, great colours indeed! I haven't been to Jamaica, can you recommend it? What about car rental and discover some nice parts of the island, is that save to do? Thanks mate

+ArcticEwi I've visited Jamaica several times but to be honest I don't really class myself as an expert. You are certainly safe in the major tourist areas such as Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Negril and Falmouth . Probably best to start with these if you've never visited before. I'd recommend reading a travel guide such as "The Rough Guide to Jamaica" before you travel. Driving is not for the faint hearted - in my humble opinion :) . A pretty good website is at www.visitjamaica.com/

Bit of T Cut wouldn't go amiss on that engine
No winglets means older aircraft not yet retrofitted or old video

+The Aviator October 18th. I've done quite a few trips to Kingston and I've never seen an approach this wide. I thought the approach was a standard one programmed into the flight computers as it seemed identical every time :) - at least until now.
