Nice. I've only flown in to minimums twice, both during training for my IFR cert. My personal minimums will be higher for a while until I build more experience in the soup.

 

That's a good idea. It's important to build experience and get comfortable with the idea of going down to bare minimums.

Check out this nutty landing:

YouTube - Wild Saab Landing

 

If I had been a passenger on that aircraft I would have that crews ass. EVERY Part 121 operator requires an established, stabilized approach to landing, with touchdown procedures that typically require a go around if not down in a certain distance.

Doing a forward slip to landing (at what looks like halfway down the runway) simply isn't safe with passengers on board. That is crazy.

 

That's what I was thinking. He must have had an excessively long runway though. I did an approach like that once in a full motion flight sim for an A319.

 

Lawn dart approach?

There's coming in long and fast, and then there's that. Wow.

 

WOW!!!! Skills.

 

looks like the kind of approach planes do in war zones...
At least the A310 of the German Air Force flew like that into Kabul or other dangerous airports to prevent being an easy target

 

Exactly what I was thinking. I've been on C130's doing that approach....... It's pretty funny staring DOWN the tube of the aircraft..... LOL
