Also the best airport in the world! Extremely well designed and run.

What a gorgeous view! No BS talk, just nice music. I enjoyed the written narration and charts! Cheers!

I’ve been there a lot. During final approach once the pilots aborted the landing and went around. Our captain announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve had to abort our landing because some idiot pulled onto the runway we were about to land on.”

This video certainly shows how complicated flying is and how knowledgeable the pilots must be…lots of info and a very good video!

Years ago I went in there a few times in an Aztec. Approach wanted me to maintain 180 knots on final to about I75. In other words I was at high cruise to the end of the runway. Well, if you have a 10,000 foot runway, you might as well use it all.

What was so cool about this video is that I saw my neighborhood and my house from their point of view. The air traffic pattern used for this runway flies right over my house!

Great landing super smooth

I could only dream that flying into KATL in the 80s as a young 25 yr old pilot was so peaceful!! I flew banking documents/light freight into Hartsfield late night in Mu-2s/Commanders/404s when all the big birds were coming home to roost. Non stop atc Speed talking, keep your speed up, no deviations +- 100ft or miss a call 2x and you were thrown to the back of the line. Maybe a L-1011/747 close in trail "keep your speed up" atc stresses. "Make your 1st right." Not really a option or get ran over. Right over the numbers your throw out full flaps, force the nose down, carrier landing and then make the turn only to see these massive lights bathe you and then watch those beast roar past. Some times I spent the night sleeping on conveyor belts eating out of vending machines. Ah the glamour of being a freight dog.

Atlanta's greenery is truly awesome to see from the air! One would never know you're in a metropolis of over 7 million people. I live in Los Angeles and I wish we had just a fraction of those trees here in Southern California to look at when landing instead of wall-to-wall concrete. Great video. P.S. -- I enjoyed the music in the background. It lends a mood to the video as one gazes out the cockpit window watching the scenery pass by. Good job!

Well, my stress and cortisol levels pretty much got zero watching this. For me that approach is special since ATL is home. Many wonderful trips, but still wheels down full reverse thrust on those runways is the sound of home at home.

I first flew into ATL on a Delta DC-3 from SAV. The terminal was a wooden building. Captain brought me up to the cockpit before takeoff and pinned some wings on me. I was 12 years old - about 1951. Many visits since then and I have navigated all of the ensuing terminals. Things have really changed in 70 years. Thanks for the video.

Very nice, very informative, great.

It's a great video, particularly when the explain they about the airport and landing procedure, but I prefer to hear the ambient sounds of the cockpit rather than music. Just a thought for future videos.

Lived 45 minutes from ATL for ten years, been there many times, never had a problem. Even security was pretty good.

I was at FS #24 there in 1983-84, just north of runways 8L/26R. A brief interlude in my 29 years with Atlanta Fire Rescue.

Although I have never flown in an airplane, THAT WAS COOL!!!! I watch a lot of landings from different cockpits, but none as a nice and clear as this one. I hope to see more. Thanks so much for sharing. I am going to watch this a few more times. Have a great day!

In the South it is said that when you die whether your ultimate destination is heaven or hell the change over is at Hartsfield. 😇

Absolutely fantastic and interesting video... Thanks.

Nice landing, the camera never "bumped" when you touched down. What were we riding in? Music was perfect and relaxing, but I'd like a version with the ATC chatter and engine noises.

Thanks for the video. I’ll watch it again in a quiet place to learn more. Absolutely love it.

Awesome video. I live about two miles from the Hartsfield Jackson. The planes are just about 2000 ft when landing over my house. You flew right over my house😀

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Would have been cool to have the audio from ZTL/A80/ ATL ATCT. That music goes well with majestic nature shots, which flying into KATL is not beautiful, but definitely cool.

As a native of Georgia growing up in Metro Atlanta in my early childhood when going to the airport seeing those big jets land and take off i would get cold chills of mere awe and respect for you captains flying. I Really enjoyed your video and the facts you stated. Another interesting fact the airport sits on the original site of the original Atlanta Raceway built in 1909 by then Mayor Asa Chandler and Founder of Coca Cola.

Beautiful, beautiful landing thank you for taking us to this journey. I work at that busy airport and I must say we do excellent jobs cadets to you flight attendants pilots first officer everyone in the aviation world.❤❤❤❤

Thanks to you--and to the Captain for a safe landing.

Beautiful!

Very cool to watch

The last time I flew in and out of Atlanta was when EASTERN was there. The good old days.

GREAT video and Great music!

Wow, beautyful ! I love the sound, the explanations, everything ! Thank you very much for sharing it with us! Greetings from Germany.

For years the airport was called, 'Hartsfield' after former mayor William B Hartsfield who was responsible for an expansion of the field. In 2003, they added the name 'Jackson' after another former mayor, Maynard Jackson, who oversaw a huge expansion/redesign of the airport, including the 'midfield' terminal, which placed the terminals and gates between the (at the time) 4 runways. The 5th runway was added later, and is on the other side of the multi-lane highway (I-285) the plane flies over just prior to landing.

THAT was the BEST video of a cockpit shown landing that I have EVER seen on YT! Just beautifully done... This is by far the busiest airport in the world. five of the top 10 are in the US.

Cap, thanks for posting. That was a beautiful day for flying, and having an office with one hell of a view.

It's cool to see you fly over the old Fort Gillem sight. When I was a kid, I used to stand in the parking lot of the BX and watch planes come in, and almost always when they flew over my head, the planes would lower their landing gear. Was always fun to watch.

I very much liked the background music as I looked for familiar landmarks after living in metro Atlanta for 36 years. So many times I’ve been underneath airplanes on I-285 as they flew overhead to land on that runway and I enjoyed my Miata rides around the curves on Loop Road around the airport. Thanks again for your perspective!

Thanks for watching captain and shift commander LABonte ahhh 35 year veteran 🎉

That was amazing and Thanks for the approach plates I could track attitude till Depot you made it like simple true skill again Thank you

Really Enjoyed Fling With You. Thanks GOD BLESS

That was awesome.

Hi, first-time viewer here.....Well done loved the grease you did on the touchdown....

I live west of KCCO and I'm just a little north of V222 so I watch them all heading in when they're landing to the east on 8 or 9. Being the busiest, it's a constant stream of planes going by.

I flew a C-172 into Atlanta about 40 years age. They cleared an entire runway for me.

If as you say, "Hartsfield covers 4,700 acres" and Central Park is 843 acres, the math would be 5.57 times the size of Central Park, not twice. FYI

I’m usually watching you guys land sitting on TWY Romeo by R11 if you see me wave 😂

Beautiful landing!

Watching the opening scene with that music brought back some great memories. Retired now for four years. Do I miss the job……? Honestly, I can’t say that I do!

Another excellent video. Love the moving magenta dot. Would it be possible to overlay (text only is fine) ATC chatter too so that we can understand the "operations" that occur (e.g. Potomac scenic drive)? American commercial pilots love VFR landings, unlike overseas counterparts. Perhaps some textbook cases could be served in your channel. Thanks.

Great vid!! I just flew into ATL back in April. United Airlines 737Max. Comfortable flight ✈️ from Newark, NJ. Nice to see the flight from the pilots view.

I've landed on that runway often and I've also been stuck in traffic behind a wreck, watching the plane land on 27L. It seems as if they're about to drop out of the sky.

I was hoping you were going to land on the runway that goes over 285. I remember the construction of that runway very well

Flew in and out of ATL several times on a korean 747....International side is way better than domestic

Just an fyi. It was already Hartsfield intl airport for years before 2003, they just added Jackson in 2003

I pick up and drop off there when my son comes home from the army, can be a little intimidating 😂.

Nice vector, victor...

Thanks for this. That's my home airport (unfortunately) and it's cool to see what the pilot sees coming in.

Please ditch the music and let us hear the cockpit sounds. On the plus side, appreciated seeing the approach charts. Thanks.

You missed the airport being renamed in 1971 for former Atlanta mayor William Hartsfield. Former mayor Jackson's name was added in 2003.

Anyone know the name of the wonderful background music. It's so relaxing !

My airport 😀

I live in Savannah GA and fly Delta. So all my connections are in Atlanta. If you come in from the west you can see Tyler Perry’s enormous mansion easily.

Are two subsequent points really named SMELY and GAAAS? 🤣 Great video of this approach and landing!

We need to coordinate next time. Ill catch your arrival from a plane spotters perspective

💞🇺🇸✈️💗

Could you please do the same video but at PANC, at night with 3000' RVR while playing Lynyrd Skynyrd and flying a Lancair IVP with red stripes. Thank you so much for taking requests. 🤣🤣🤣

Not nearly as busy as Oshkosh during AirVenture, especially during the Mooney and Bonanza mass arrivals. Those two groups land 9 planes per minute on just two runways. That gets all 190 planes down in just over 20 minutes! Meanwhile, they’re still landing more planes on the third runway while that’s going on. No airport on earth gets busier than that!

Looked sort of like that Jan.27th but not as sunny.

What’s the song? Thanks!

Why is all the rubber of 400 tires still on the runway?

The Airport is actually 15 minutes south of the City of Atlanta. The City controls the area strictly for tax revenue purposes. ☹️

Great video! What type of plane are you flying?

Norcross VOR… Norcross VOR…

Ugh. Those homes on the final approach must hear so many jets it's almost continuous. Research your home before buying and ask your realtor too

Ok… with 5 parallel runways… how is each identified? Usually there’s “left”, “right”, and “center”… what are the other 2 called? 🤔

That runway looks like freshly paved black tar. Do they ever clean them?

Sorry. Just for the next week Oshkosh Wisconsin has the busiest airport in the world.

Is this in a 757, just curious?

What aircraft was used in this video?

Strange. No type of aircraft given.

Beautiful 🍑✈️❤️

I am so thankful that God gave us the mute button.

Hi, could you please re-upload without the background music? Thanks

Would have been better with out the music and with radio comms
