LOL.  A 738 at St. Barts?!!  Tell us the truth...how many times did you try to land until you actually made it?  Hysterical!

Hi Gregg!

Yes, this was an interesting one. Usually I aim to make one take while recording flying.

Attempt 1)  I blew a tire before coming to the end of the runway and stopped on the beach.

Attempt 2) I came off the end of the runway and injured several holiday makers, I floated too much in the flare as I was trying not to burst tires.

Attempt 3) As I came in, I dumped all the flaps just before the flair in order to put the aircraft down hard and early. It worked!

In hindsight I should have put on a 50 knot headwind and lighten the aircraft in-order to make it easier. I only had a 10 knot headwind in the video.

I've also played around with landing a 737 in St Barts before in the past, practise makes perfect! 

Auto-brakes set at high, full reverse thrust.

Give it a try! Its fun!
