If you generally admire a good landing here’s a short 4-minute rapid fire video of seven full-scale landings into St. Barts airport, located on a tiny eastern Caribbean island, Saint Barthélemy. From the direction shown landings are all downhill in the literal sense. There’s a stiff cross wind to boot. Approaches start at the 32 second point. The third approach is by a twin otter and it just doesn’t appear like it wants to come down without a fight. The fifth approach by a Pilatus PC-12 is the most “scary”; taking out road signs, bouncing off a truck top, parting the hill grass and then alighting like a butterfly.

The second 2-minute video is from inside a plane (Twin Otter, I think). You could start at the 1:30 point to speed things up.

This is amusing, maybe for some, on how to get better simulating landings at St. Bart's. 12 minutes long.............

How many accidents happen here? Thats insane...

OK, this is how to do it (as shown from a different angle). Yes, occasionally planes go off the end.

The crash is vividly shown in the first 35 seconds of this 50-minute video. The rest of the video just shows the emergency actions and clearing away of the wreckage. Comments underneath the video are interesting regardng background information.

Recent emergency crash landing:

Only prop planes are allowed on the worlds shortest commercial air strip on the Caribbean Island of Saba, hear St. Barthelemy. The taxi to the take-off point doesn't take very long and the Otter uses all of the 400 meter runway on take-off.

This is a longer video (37 minutes) so if you just want the landing go to the 31-minute point to see an in-cockpit view which also includes the runway. Also, there is some narration of the flight/landing as well as radio "traffic".
