World's Shortest Flight: Papa Westray to Westray Full Flight blackhawks81H: The islander is the absolute best. Back when I used to fly one, we would take all the seats out and load it up with cargo a few times a week. I'd bring a second pilot with me just to make the unloading go faster and. So on the way back we could take turns lying on the floor in the back while the other person flew. The game was to keep the person in the back floating in the air as long as possible. Bonus points If you got them to the ceiling. Fun times. Haha

I mean, there is for sure questions about profitability, but my main question is how is this practical?
The amount of time you waste waiting in the terminal, boarding the aircraft, doing the preflights, starting the engines, taxi, take off and landing. you could have been there on by boat 20 minutes earlier.
For profitability. I mean, you got to pay the crew, pilot, parking, aircraft wear and tear. I just dont get it.

Grinding for experience, IN REAL LIFE. Jokes asside, if a person is wanting to be in an airlines, he or she would be moving in a snail pace if that person is somewhat assigned there. On the other hand, you could get a lot of practice landing in no time. (Depending if he or she has a lot of flights between these two airports) That in my own oppinion is the reason why this flight is amazing itself.

OK Passengers, Its a 1min 25 second flight! 25 seconds taking off, 50 seconds crusing at 350 feet and then descending + landing for 50 seconds. For flight safety, just read the safety brochure in the seat pocket. Thank you for flying in advance - The Pilot

Probably the hardest flight to do in terms of the pilot. Takeoff and landing are the hardest parts of the flight and essentially, that is all this flight is. A lot of taxiing - take off, and immediately prepare to land and taxi again.

The Pilot be likehello ladies and gentlemen the weather is 10 degrees at the destination and the wind speed is 20 knots we are expecting some turbulence put on your seat belt for landing

On this flight, the hostess will only serve an espresso coffee. Theres no time for anything else
The plane takeoff at 3: 31 and lands at 5: 02, roughly 91 seconds

My girlfriends father is a pilot and flies small airplanes! Ive gone a few times!
This flight honestly seems more like that, than your typical commercial flight!

reply

If my maths are right you would need to fly this route about 540 times to fit the longest non-stop commercial flight in the world (18 hours 40 minutes)
reply

Imagine how many cycles you'd have to do, if you had to make your 80 hours flying just this route, back and forth. I've had pee's that are longer.

Hey Noel. Had no idea you made this flight. Watched some other blokes blog on the same flight then your video popped up. Nice crosswind landing.

When are you posting the vlogs for the world's shortest flight, and the trip to Jersey? And what's the next video for next Friday?

Hey inflight videos if u would go on a really big journey across the world where would it be and why?
reply

The minute you complete your preflight and takeoff checklist, it's time to do your landing checklist.
