DANGEROUS APPROACH!! - Landing the Global Express in San Diego

Welcome to San Diego airport, nominated as one of the US' most dangerous approach!

Honestly, if you asked me, it's all sensationalism. It all comes down to common sense, training and most of all, proper prep.

As you'll see in this video, the reason behind this approach being a bit trickier than most is simply this: a steeper approach gradient.

See, most typical approaches follow a 3 degree slope (300' descent per nautical mile traveled). San Diego, because of the slope and the buildings along said slope, demands a slightly steeper approach profile (3.5 degrees). That about sums it up.

Watch the video to learn about the process, the briefing, and the planning for this approach, which in turn mirrors most briefings and planning we do as a crew prior to any approach around the world.
