Flight deck to Madeira on the Lufthansa A320neo!

In this video we ride along on the A320neo flight deck to Funchal in Madeira - one Europe's most difficult landings, famous for its unpredictable winds and remarkable runway stretched over the sea on top of massive support beams. Lufthansa brings us along in the jumpseat from Munich (MUC) to Funchal (FNC), a roughly 4-hour flight, and along the way we get to hear some fascinating info from the captain about operating to Funchal as well as a number of other insights into being an A320NEO captain. Look out for some nice views of Mont Blanc by the way, and some other nice scenery too. But nothing can beat the landing views into Funchal, including Porto Santo just to its north and the 180-degree right turn over the island to land on Runway 05. Enjoy!

    I went to Madeira (I am Portuguese) on March 2000. They were still working on the extension of the airport as they had to implode the Hotel Atlantis. It was quite a scene to see. But he greatest climax was the airplane landing. Those cross-winds are almost always occurring and they are quite fierce.

As for the unbeatable view during the final turn into Funchal - you just gotta see the final turn into RWY 02 to Santos Dumont (SBRJ / SDU) in Rio de Janeiro, just a few meters from the Sugar Loaf mountain. Might be worth contacting Latam, Azul or Gol for a jumpseat ride in a flight into Rio. It's as breathtaking as it gets.

Gotta say, it was better than any American flag carrier lounge and I almost wished I had more time to kill. Flight was great, crew was superb and the experience was tops. I only wish I wasn't limited to US planes. Next time I'm on vacation I guess.

    Alright Gabriel, now you are starting to spoil us with flight deck videos, GREAT! It is fabulous that you are not only getting access but you are going to interesting airports. I might be confused or is this a big surprise video. I believe you showed a “plane spotting” video, not long ago, from the ground at Funchal was this your flight to get there? The information the Capitan gave us was indeed also very interesting, as you have commented about. The qualifications to operate in an out of Funchal are not totally rare though. I can think of an airport in the Himalayas, one known as Lukla. Anyway you did it AGAIN . THANKS, JIM S.
