This is the RNAV River Visual approach to Washington Reagan Airport. Nice view of the capitol as you approach the runway.

That's awesome. I'll never be able to do this in real life, but this approach is one of my favs in MSFS. Thanks for sharing the real thing.

This flew right over my home. I used to sit out back and watch the planes make final approaches.

Once the aircraft is in its descent pattern, in contact with the control tower, and has to make several turns, or sometimes the u-turn pattern when first descending above the airport and then making the u-turn to continue descending back towards it, it's the control tower who tell the pilots exactly when and where to turn the plane, am I right?

Really enjoyed your fly in over NOVA, crossing the Potomac and flying in. I love Washington, D.C. Thanks again.

Great video! Brings back fond memories of pre-9/11 days. GA practically all but barred from DCA since thanks to TSA. Made almost weekly trips into DCA for nearly 15 years and always loved the River Visual from the North and the Mt. Vernon Visual from the South. Pax always enjoyed these scenic approaches.

Used to work at Signature Flight Support (general aviation terminal at the south end). LOVED FLYING into Reagan National (pre-9/11). They were an extremely great ATC, and, I'm sure they still are👍

When my In-laws or relatives from out of town were around the 1st thing they wanted to see was the planes coming and going at DCA from Graverly point. So that became a major attraction and a place we would go to. Along with the Museums. 😊😊

There Is no greater joy, than for a pilot to do as smooth of a landing as that !

I'm watching without audio right now, and I honestly can't make out at what point the aircraft touched down. Well done!

The last bank turn to level out and line up approach always gets me on edge. Watching all those planes landing on the river visual from the jefferson memorial is fun, (but then boring after awhile lol) at that point they're at 500 feet on final approach! damn that's scary.

Thank you; awesome! Actually: is it the Rnp RW 19 with visual landing segment after last turn or the visual river RW19?

It’s the River Visual 19.

Just wondering, the autopilot came off pretty late... so wouldn't this indicate the RNAV 19? Otherwise the pilots would have to manipulate the mcp all the time to follow the river, which seems pretty unusual for a visual approach. I mean they were cleard for the river visual, so are you allowed to fly the RNAV via autopilot instead, because it's actually the same track?

@eprn1n2 2 жыл бұрын

@@Pempel2000 The River Visual has the same points as the RNP 19. It’s just easier to manage the approach rather than fly it. You could hand fly it as well. Autopilot has to be off by 250 feet. RNP requires autopilot.
