    Kicking in a little rudder to stay on Centerline as well as adding some much needed power because of sink rate. End result was a Great landing.

    Wow. Shortest runway in the world, and he still cuts it off at the first right turn…

    Just what STOL is designed for. I’ve seen landing distance quoted at 950 feet, which is over a 50 foot obstacle, to full stop, in adverse conditions. Low and slow, with a headwind - a few hundred feet.

    400 mtr runway, he pulled off at 240 mtrs- very STOL.

    The way the runway comes into view from the top of the windscreen is dramatic as heck. I was expecting some scary orchestra music and a jump cut to the pilot's face as he mumbles "you've got to be kidding me..."

    Landing on the shortest runway in the World, aiming the markings for the touchdown zone, and vacating at the middle of the runway. This is the Twin Otter :)))

    What is that? A Twin Otter? Buttered the landing NICE did I hear reverse pitch going in there hence the dead stop? We used to do TAC landings in the C-130's doing this - stops on a dime. That runway needs an arrestor cable!😊 probably a steam catapult as well for STOLS

    I remember when landing on Saba there was a strange sound, like a siren, in the cabin for say 5-10 seconds prior to landing. My brother, who a that time was an SAS pilot, told me when we were on the ground that it was the stall warning sound. Ooops! We had a wonderful stay on Saba, by the way.

    Any runway that short needs arresting cables and LSOs! My hat’s off to any pilot who flies in there and makes it look that routine.
