Boeing 737 Landing in Samedan
Do you remember Samedan Airport (LSZS) ? It’s the higher airport in Europe (altiports excluded), at 5′600 ft. It’s located in eastern Switzerland, close to St-Moritz. There are no IFR approaches, but the runway is plenty long, and wealthy people often land their with business jets.
Even with small planes, the landing there is a bit impressive, particularly the base and final turns in the valley. Judge yourself, with these videos of a landing and take-off in Samedan with a DA40-TDI. You will also see the kind of business jets that sometimes land there in the video, and with this excellent shot of a Gulfstream landing, on short final.
If you think Gulfstream is kind of the bigger airplane that operates there, the next photo will make you change your mind.
Yes, this is nothing less than a boeing 737 ! It did obviously not followed the single engine pattern shown in the video, but it certainly was an impressive approach anyway ! Thank you the the airliners.net spotter who made this shot !
