Landing at London City Airport (LCY) on runway 09

The western approach to London City Airport is the flight path that aircraft take when arriving at the airport from the west. London City Airport is located in the Royal Docks area of East London, close to the financial district of Canary Wharf.

When approaching from the west, aircraft typically follow a route that takes them over parts of Greater London, including areas such as Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, and the Canary Wharf, before descending towards the airport. The specific flight path can vary depending on air traffic control instructions, weather conditions, and other factors.

The western approach offers passengers a unique aerial view of some of London's most famous landmarks. Depending on the flight path, passengers may be able to see sights such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and other iconic buildings along the River Thames.

0:00 - Decent
1:56 - The Shard
2:55 - Canary Wharf
3:30 - Millenium dome
4:26 - Landing and taxi

London City Airport's short runway and close proximity to the city center require specialized training for pilots and specific aircraft capable of making steep approaches and landings.

The airport is located in a densely populated area, and noise abatement procedures are in place to minimize the impact of aircraft noise on local residents.

Overall, the western approach to London City Airport provides passengers with an impressive view of London's skyline and landmarks, making for a memorable arrival experience for those traveling to the heart of the city.

Scenic Approach into London Heathrow Airport British Airways

A nice flight down to London Heathrow Airport to start my live streaming. British Airways flight landing. BA A320 Landing 27 Left at EGLL.

TRICKY LANDING for Pilots but AMAZING LONDON VIEWS!

London City Airport is likely the toughest approach in Britain with a steep angle of descent followed by a short runway. Pilots need special training before they are qualified to fly into this airport. On the other hand if you're lucky enough to land on runway 09 your final approach will start with a lovely turn over the Thames River and then some of the things you will see are the London Eye, Tower Bridge, The Docklands, The O2 Arena and a lot more!
You are in the Cockpit of a BRITISH AIRWAYS DORNIER 328JET operated by SUN-AIR of Scandinavia.

BRITISH AIRWAYS London City to Edinburgh - Embraer 190 - Really steep take off!

British Airways London City to Edinburgh. Join me for a trip report vlog. Let's travel British Airways on an Embraer 190 from London City to Edinburgh.

It's 19 months since my last flight to London and there have been lots of changes at LCY. Let's check out the new gate seating areas and retail outlets. And the new parallel taxiway.

The Embraer 190 is my favourite short-haul aircraft. On 2x2 seating and good legroom.

And the take-off is really steep. The pilot has to keep the breaks on whilst the engines throttle up so there's enough power to lift off the short runway and clear the local buildings.

00:00 Intro - Bank Station and the DLR
00:45 London City Airport airside - it's deserted!
02:01 New building work and snazzy new gates
02:49 Boarding the Embraer 190
03:48 Taxing to the holding point - NEW taxiway!
04:15 Powerful STEEP take off!
05:11 Inflight service - it's CRISPS!
06:09 Approach to Edinburgh
06:31 Over The Forth and Landing
08:04 Journey's end and that ICONIC control tower

Landmarks of London before a bumpy landing at London City Airport

Aboard an inbound flight to LCY from Ibiza, the approach over London proved both scenic and interesting as the pilot did battle with a strong crosswind from the north. Apologies for the camera shake but it does give some sense of the aircraft movement during landing.
