Onboard another EasyJet flight, this time flying from Bristol Airport to Funchal, Madeira, one of Europe's most challenging airport to land, airport is rated Category C and requries onboard crew additional training before taking these flights, what makes it the most challenging as you see in this video is the 150 degree turn & then turns again to line up with the runway. Also runway length is 2,781 metres which is 9,124 feet. along with harsh winds that can make the landing difficult.
Today we are flying on a Airbus A321NEO on the 3 hour 5 minutes journey from Bristol to Madeira. On approach it was raining but the crew made the landing look so easy, did land hard but they got to land perfectly on the landing strip. Lovely morning start to the flight, departed Bristol with a fantastic looking sunrise, passing Devon along Dawlish & Teignmouth, leaving UK behind, headed towards Bay of Biscay, over top of La Courna Airport, Santiago de Compostela & Lisbon to then making our way across to the Island of Madeira with some rain with a very well executed landing. Landing was hard and full usage of the brakes, but that's due to the 9,000ft runway length at Madeira.
