I’ve been a passenger several times on takeoff and landing at Paros and never had anything but perfection on landing and takeoff. Testament to the excellence of the flight crew.

Nothing can shake up that crew! PIC looked totally unfazed by the whole thing. Beautiful display of professionalism.

That approach took my breath away. So much more for both pilots to do and be aware of. I can't even imagine learning an approach where, even on the best days, you will at the very least be straightening and leveling the plane until a second before you touch down. Kudos to both of them.

The visibility was so poor that at the height of 100 m also there was no trace of any runway. Excellent and brave landing.

NOT seeing where the runway is until right before landing made this even MORE scarier to watch. Getting over that first mountain range and then almost diving to land made this even more impressive to watch with their piloting skills. OMG!! Bravo to them!!!

Nice landing. Really impressive to watch the pilot flying get it lined up at such low altitude and with late turns required on final. Not a single wasted motion and few corrections.

I just came back from Bhutan, the landing at Paro really is something to experience. And Miss Ugyen Dema was in the cockpit for my flight.

@highcountry That may be true in Amurrica, but (this may come as a shock) the rest of the world is not always like the good ole U S of A. Landing at this airport is different. Only a handful of pilots are qualified to land a passenger jet there. Sure, computers play a large part in operating the systems of any modern passenger jet, but landing here requires exceptional flying skills. However, I do understand why pilots don''t like the degree to which computers have taken over.... especially if they are flying Boeing 737s, although with them the problems seem to be mainly just after take-off.... if you see what I mean... y'all. You got something against female pilots by any chance?

Long time I wondered why they take this dangerous route to land, but recently I had had the chance to fly in an airliner-simulator where the instructor showed me that you can´t make steep finals like small propellered aircrafts I use to fly. Airliners need to reduce speed and height softly an so this approaching route is a must.

Thank you for showing us such a brave approach from inside the cockpit. To get a view of all the performance factors like the speed and descent profile was enlightening! Paro will always be my favourite!

Amazing female captain pilot with great courage and experience to land in such a challenging terrain area with bad weather condition. I salute her.

Loved touching the instrument panel cover…feeling the plane

Amazing skills. Every pilot loves a challenge. Getting the plane on any runway safely is the main thing. Well done.

Bravo, truly exceptional flying. At 300 ft. her right wing was much lower to the mountain rising on her right, which is why she had to make that slight left deflection. Nice.

ZIRO VISIBILITY, mountains everywhere !!!! Totally INSANE !!!!

Much respect to all the pilots out there...am a nervous passager...and had recently experienced a rough landing, but the pilots did an awesome/ professional job at stabilising and landing the plane in strong winds...never again do I doubt their abilities 🤗

My highest respect! Landing under such weather conditions (light rain) makes it even more challenging. The approach is visual only. When the plane is finally aligned it is only 600 ft from the threshold. There is no margin for error! Maybe it's good that most passengers aren't aware that at some points the distance to terrain ia not more than 200 ft at a speed of 180 knots...
