I went to Bhutan several times and, being a pilot, I could not help film this landing from the flight deck. Landing in Paro is basically visual, with a requirement to have the runway in sight on downwind. See for yourself.

    Would you say this is probably the most stressful airfield you have had to land in? Or despite all the obstacles is it reasonable enough that it's no more nerve wracking than usual?

    Also wanted to comment - Notice home people are building homes around the airport. In America, this always happens and 10 years down the road, they all complain about the jets!

    As a private pilot, I truly appreciate the opportunity to see this most interesting approach. I can't imagine seeing this as a flight crew member for the first time. Coming around a mountain to find your approach! Largo, Fl USA (PIE)

    druk in bhutanese means dragon, drukyul, the native name for bhutan mean land of the dragon, better known as land of the thunder dragon...its just makes sense because that is the primary symbol of the country its similar to saying air canada or whatever
