Stunning photo Gabe, couldn't imagine looking out the window at that. April 17, 2009

Been there done that. No spoilers on the ATR just props at 100% rpm does the trick. To add a bit of flair, bleed that speed right down to 100KIAS if you wish. I've always said on an ATR if you can see the runway you can land on it. Cheerie on top, make a short field landing and watch her stop in 500m. DONE THAT!!!!! May 08, 2008

I want to know if the spoilers were up? The airspeed is pretty slow (only 135) at a steep angle. I'm guessing full flaps, spoilers out, and a nice steady approach. You can do this in a simulator with several jets without a problem, it just takes practice. August 14, 2006

Got to be honest here people: I find it hard to believe it was possible to make a landing from the position this photo was taken. September 12, 2004

Realy impressive! One of the most I ever saw! Everything seems to be correct but I would like to know what kind of new instrument is that in the upfront left panel (the little "Smurf" guard with a thing between the legs!). Is it optional? Just a joke. August 02, 2004

do NOT try this in MS FS2K4!!! May 07, 2004

Capt. Ramos must be assist to an ALAR program, and consider the elements of stabilized approach. Also it´s a great picture in a terrible approach. March 01, 2004

hello how where you able to be in the cockpit at the time of landin?? January 10, 2004

The altimeter show 3540 feet and the Radio Altimeter, show in the EADI, 2000 feet because: 1.- The runway threshold is 2073 feet, the real altitude is 1500 feet more or less 2.- The Radio-Alt. show 500 feet more than The Baro-Alt. because the terrain before runway is climbing forward the runway from the sea level. Greetings. December 19, 2003

For Kole The altitude show in the Baro-Alt 3540 feet is correct and the Alt. show in the Radio-Altimeter, inside de EADI, 2000 feet, is correct also. for two reason. 1ª.-The altitude of threshold the runway is 2073 feet then the real alt. is 1500 feet more or less over the runway. 2ª.-The Radio-Alt show 500 feet more than te real altitud because the terrain before runway is climbing forward threshold from the sea level. Greetings. December 19, 2003

Holy Cajones... :O Que Bonito! -CLovis December 15, 2003

Absolutely gorgeous! Let me know if there are any more like that. It looks so cool! December 07, 2003

I have one question. Why the altimeter indicator shows 3500 feet? Everythings else seems to be correct. December 04, 2003

Bo Selecta! Now thats called an approach! Nice shot Gabe, your a VERY VERY VERY lucky man!!! Keep em coming :D! November 06, 2003

Thanks guys for the comments. It was a great trip, and no heart attacks! You can take a look a a pic closer to the ground http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=173307 . But you can see the whole landing reading http://www.jetphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5871 . But the real congrats go to Capt. Ramos for making this approach look easy and very safe.

is very good picture es una foto muy impresionante October 30, 2003

Great Pic!...but tell me, how far down the runway did he touchdown?...whicker October 29, 2003

Well Sir, let me be, as usual, a bit sharp : 1. Superb photo, hat off; 2. Good I was NOT there; 3. Hope there were NO passengers, otherwise please report the amountof heart attacks; 4. Even if I have to do "a low profile approach" because I am only an (advanced) flight sim user ("armchair pilot"), I'll tell you what : even in my weirdest (virtual) approaches, I have NEVER been in a situation like that without immediately going out for a go around ;-))) ... but maybe Los Rodeos (restricted airfield, if I am right : Captain only landings) requires a high approach like that due to the mountains. Best regards and congrats again Philippe Bleus (jetPhotos.net fellow spotter) October 27, 2003

Simply superb Gabe! Congratulations. October 27, 2003

Gabe, Amazing, awesome, I feel like I am there! Andrew October 20, 2003

Amazing shot Gabe! That's gotta be a breathtaking approach! October 20, 2003

Amazing picture. I wish I was there. very nice... October 20, 2003
