Samos Island, Greece, SMI: Visual approach and landing on runway 09, Airbus 320 cockpit view, 4k

Visual approach and landing on runway 09 at Samos International Airport, SMI / LGSM, on Samos Island in Greece. With ATIS (automatic terminal information service). Cockpit view. Airbus A320. Filmed with 3 cameras in 4k quality.

This video has no ATC (air traffic control) audio and only some cockpit audio from the final turn to the runway.

Samos is a very special airport: The runway is not very long and due to the mountains, a straight in approach to runway 09 is not possible. The last part of the approach to Samos has to be flown as a visual maneuver for the lineup of the airplane on the final runway track. The village of Ireo and the Glasshouse are some of the landmarks for the visual pattern.
