Pilot Luke Czepiela lands an aeroplane on the world famous helipad on top of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, the iconic seven-star hotel in Dubai. To land on the helipad, 27m in diameter, he completed over 650 practice landings before the attempt on top of the 56-story hotel. He needed just 20.76 meters to stop. To make the feat possible he and a team of CubCrafters engineers along with renowned American aviation engineer and aircraft builder Mike Patey made a number of modifications to the aircraft, reducing the total weight to only 425 kilograms, moving the main fuel tank to the rear of the plane to allow for more aggressive braking and adding nitrous to enhance power for Czepiela’s secondary challenge – taking off from the helipad.

Now land an A380 on there, Swiss001 style.
You should pin this!
I see on that site that Mike Patey gets credit for some of this. I’m watching his video on this now.
@@TesserId You can see Mike at 1:27
1:12 was as near miss as it could be…
“We make history” and the shots of the nervous wife.. that’s something you’d apply to watching someone land on mars, not risking their life to essentially play real life GTA
Who else trying to do the Flight Sim landing challenge
