Interior and exterior shots of a spectacular TUI fly Boeing 737 landing with a steep right turn to Funchal Airport runway RWY 23, also known as Christiano Ronaldo Airport. The Boeing 737 with the registration DABMV is the special livery (TUI My CEWE photo book) in a very beautiful, eyecatching special paint job. It is the TUI flight X3 2852 Düsseldorf Funchal (DUSFNC).

Aeroporto de Cristiano Ronaldo is not a normal international airport, it is number 9 among the 10 most dangerous airports in the world. It is located directly on the slope of a cliff with dangerous shear winds that make landings difficult and challenging.
In contrast to other airports, only specially trained pilots with additional training are allowed to land here.

This is due to the fact, that no instrument landing system (ILS) can be used here due to the topography and therefore the landing approach and landing can only take place on sight.
Landing from the sea on RWY 23 involves a spectacular, steep 180degree approach turn, which many arriving passengers have already noticed.

The nice thing about this airport is that you can experience flight operations not only from the visitor terrace, but also from the many spots around the airport.

Thank you for watching and if you liked the video, I would be very happy about a like, a comment and, above all, a subscription to my HvdHPlaneSpotter YouTube Channel.
