7:08 On Final Approach

I once flew to the Maldives (for work) and we landed at night in a rainstorm. It was so strange to be flying lower and lower thru the clouds and then suddenly see the very dark ocean and nothing else until we touched the runway. This daytime landing seemed so nice.

I visited the Maldives last year and I remember when I first saw the turquiose ocean with the tiny islands and atolls, I was mesmerized. 💙 love flying and it is so nice and interesting to see it from the pilots' point of view. Thank you for the amazing video! Respect and many thanks to all the pilots who do such a wonderful job so we are able to reach every corner of the world. 🙏🏻😌

Good thing they tell the passengers that it's PLUS 32°C to avoid any confusion...

I’ve flown here, and as a passenger it was slightly unnerving to see the sea suddenly rise up. I was relieved when wheels hit tarmac! Some amazing pilots out there!

Nice landing I went to Royal Island with my late wife Happy memories The Maldives are paradise And the locals happy to see you Which doesn’t always happen in luxury island destinations

The Captain was so calm and re-assuring. And really seemed to like the setting and enjoyed sharing about it- I think it is part of his calming nature so the Co-pilot didn't have time to think about being nervous about the short runway. Cool vid!

"Get it down nice and smooth" Dang. That would generally make me nervous and I would slam it in.

one of the better "Pilots eye" videos, typical German efficiency, crew co-ordination, and communication.

Ich finds immer noch schade, dass LTU weg ist. War eine sympathische Airline.

Ich wollte mal als Kind immer ein Pilot werden. Das Gefühl eines Take off’s oder einer Landung waren für mich immer Adrenalingefühlvergleichbar. I always wanted to be a pilot as a kid. Take off’s and landings just give me soo much chills.

Couldn't care less if there's ads, I enjoy watching all these videos and appreciate everyone's involvement in making them available to the general public. Thanks!

Why do I always feel a sense of satisfaction after watching these videos? Another great landing.

All our respect to all pilots for your amazing job! Thank you so much!

I flew into Male in 1986 in a Sri Lankan 737 - and it was literally a runway in the sea back then - like landing on an aircraft carrier! All you could see until you were actually on the runway was water. Beautiful place - wonderful memories!

Loved the approach and landing with you guys, so easy, so smooth ... "wir bekomnmen die hundert rein, lass sie raus schiessen" yeah! Thats moren than cool. ♥

Fantastic, wonderful paradies in the world. I was 4 twice on the Malediven island. My first time was in 1985... Robinson feeling.

I really miss LTU. Growing up in Düsseldorf, LTU was always giving the feeling they're the 'door' to the world. It felt special to have then based in DUS. A big loss for us.

The conversation seems like hypnotic suggestions to me to fall asleep.. but wakes up before landing , nice smooth landing captains ..

Most beautiful...stunning....cockpit view landing....I’ve seen. The atolls....turquoise waters....WOW!

Cool seeing the vapor from the vents behind the Capt.

I've been to the Maldives & the view over the atolls are breathtaking. Paradise on earth 😍

Amazing video....thank u so much for this wonderful journey

Taking an seaplane taxi off Malé to one of the islands is the coolest experience I've had regarding to flying. :) The pilot and co-pilot were flying barefoot. :D

Jestem pod wrażeniem,poprostu cudo, nie znam słów żeby wyrazić to co czuję po oglądnięciu tego wspaniałego filmiku.👍👍👍👍pozdrowienia dla pilotów..niesamowite widoki 👏👏👏👏i te wysepki z góry i te chmurki cudo 👍👍👍👽

Commenting 1/27/20 from southern RI, USA...at 645am EST.... AWESOME shots of those gorgeous turquoise waters all around those beautiful ATOLLS...and the beaches at where the Maldives' landing scene takes place here....as they never see snow at any time....This lovely video also reminds me of this wild dream I had of my being in Tuvalu on 6/18/97, heeeheee..almost 23 years ago....and back then..I thought I'd never see any real such awesomed KZfaq videos of such jet takeoffs/landings in all remote corners of the world..like this very scintillating video HERE.... BTW..sorry for the ''527'' dislikes...as there shouldn't be ANY. such dislikes to this amazing video with also the subtitles too..... Much fondness...James, LuvsTstormTapes.

It's interesting to think, that just 300 years ago the journey from a cold country in Europe to the Maldivian tropics, would have taken three months and favourable winds, at a seasonal opportunity - a journey where vitamin deficiency, navigational errors, doldrums, and death was commonplace - can now be achieved in a matter of hours in relative comfort. That's progress for ya.

Captain Joe Moser's voice sounds like batman. A true hero.

Atemberaubende Bilder von dem Atoll. Schön zu sehen und zu hören, wie der Kapitän mit dem Co agiert (inkl. ruhig vorgetragenen Korrekturen für den Co). Top!

I always have a hard time understanding the ATCs. They speak so fast and unclear, yet the pilots have no trouble with this. Might be their experience.

That's some seriously impressive stopping power wow!!

Done that a few times will never ever cease to excite me.

Absolutely breath taking! Wonderful work by the crew and Maldives looks AMAZING!

Great piloting and communication between the FO and Capt.

“I told you we would make it” would have been a great line in “Airplane!”, if the two pilots accidentally left open the internal comms with the passengers cabin.

👏 ruft schöne Erinnerungen an und mit LTU(A330) nach Male hervor 👍

schöner Throwback, mal wieder was von der LTU zu sehen

Ja die LTU........ war eine tolle Airline

LTU is A Awesome Airline..Lots of Fond memories.....

Captain to co, "I told you we will make it". Explanation: I am the Captain and you are my co-pilot. Super!

Not sure I'd want that much social chit chat during an approach - shows the team at its best that they can handle it \m/

Landed there 10 times the view is never disappointing

Superb camera work gentlemen, thank you.

Good Mentorship. The F/O will see positive results if he applies the Captain's recommendations and the knowledge he shares.

wonderful experience to be part of the flight thnx ! 🙏

Very good

What a beautiful shade of blue water!

Great mentoring from the captain calm and smooth..

Very nice landing and absolutely great coaching from the captain on the final approach!

Excellent vids!!! What a beautiful place that I will never be lucky enough to experience firsthand. But this is the next best thing to being there!!! Love to see the interaction of the pilots! Well done.

Mother nature is really nice.... Love to see more locations....

You know when it says "8" you will butter the landing. Nice job.

Excellent! Precision landing.

Fascinating! Thanks for the great video.

Awesome video & landing! I’ve been dying to fly an Airbus. Having a side-stick with just a pull out laptop in front of you is pretty awesome. The avionics in these new A300’s are pretty incredible. Love my 737 but...

Just great,thanks! What a wonderful job the pilots have!

Wonderful aircraft, the a330!

I have really enjoyed, took me back to 2018 when I was flying for Maldives Airways A320/321 ,and with Afriqiyah Airways flying A 330 which is lovely aircraft

This was perfect

Fantastic video, thank you very much!

excellent flight I really enjoyed this video many thanks for sharing this flight with us.

that's the way to show these flying videos

"I told you we would make it" 0_0

a very very nice movie

Went to maldives in 2006 January. Very beautiful place.

Fantastic

Great job with the landing! Nice vid!

Must be half of a pilot's training is about to understand these radio messages.

Joe Moser, Legend. Still miss LTU

Watching this video whilest being literally on an island as on 6:10 (the small one on right - Malahini Kuda Bandos) is priceless. Goosebumps. :)

A brilliant video. Thank you for one of the best ones i have seen.

Very professional!

Beautiful video thank you great views

Went to biyadoo in 2003 - five months before the tsunami. The airport is amazing - just a runway and small airport building. Once through passport control, we stepped onto a dock. No buses or taxis. Just boats! A weird but wonderful experience. We then climbed about a large white speedboat and rode the Indian Ocean for an hour. I wonder to this day if Biyadoo was affected by the tsunami.

Outstanding job by all! Really enjoyed the sight seeing too. Professionalism and teamwork shines with this crew.

Hahaha ... when the co-pilot says "You Have Control" it seems that he is taking a ton of weight off his back !!

lovely islands of maldives.

Was there 3 years ago :) nice to have to choose a boat taxi instead of a normal taxi

Love the A330…and these guys are professional and phenomenal

Saw this landscape countless times from my tiny window seat. Always dreamt of seeing it from the cockpit. So : thank you for this moment. WoW.

Those islands look spectacular from above. I guess there is a lot of Margarita and crazy cocktails down there

They are AMAZING,like Two Rock Stars

Why is there some smoke behind the capitaine seat ( on his left side behind his arm ) at 9:18 ? Looks highly unusual to have smoke in a cockpit.

Beautiful Maldives.....

My now being the 692nd commenter on this cold snowy WEDS 2/3/21...again....awesome in all parts..the ATC/pilots' coms....the subtitles....and for such an awesomed video seen from my EEEZZ chair some 10,000 miles away...it should not have had any ''dislikes'' whatsoever....albeit 997 were ''disliked'' but glad over 14,000 ''likes'' shown and many more ''likes'' should be expected...... Hard to imagine that before the advent of KZfaq..some 16 years ago..one would never imagine in seeing such a wonderful landing view in the colorful atolls of the Maldives... right from their EEEZZZ chair from some 10,000 miles away....IOWs...''technology at the cutting edge''.... BTW..nice show of those crashing Indian Ocean waves at some 10:40 into the video after the landing of the huge jetliner.....Fondly, AccuJamsoan..southern RI..USA.

اجمل ايام عمري بجزر المالديف اللهم عوده انا وكل مشتاق لجنة الارض .

beautiful

I've played flight sims a lot, but I can't imagine flying the real deal with 300 or so passengers on board! Kinda scary!

Schönes Video! Danke dafür. LTU war eine gute Linie.

beautiful views!!

Excellent landing 🎉

One of the fantastic landing video !!👍

so professionalism

This was awesome to watch thank you :) What I can't understand is 996 dislikes ????

Sehr schoen erklaert. Danke schoen

From Maldives🇲🇻♥️

nice video, brilliant camera work. You surely not only brought 250 passengers but also 70 tonnes of cargo for hotel logistics?

Good correction, smooth approach, and a GORGEOUS view!!

Brilliant to see
