The commander of the crew of the one-of-a-kind Ukrainian aircraft An-225 “Mriya” Dmitry Antonov and his colleagues were able to land at the airport of the Austrian city of Linz in almost zero visibility. The pilots landed in dense fog, and they could see the lights in the runway only when they dropped to 60 meters. Avianews.

Despite the fact that the video appeared on December 25, the pilots made the landing at the beginning of the month. According to Antonov, such extreme landings are a real test for pilots.

“The weather was terrible, but the pilot has to cope with it,” Antonov says.

To ensure that such situations do not come as a surprise to the pilots, the crews are constantly undergoing training and checks, the pilot of the giant aircraft notes.

Landing at the airport in very poor visibility conditions is possible if the necessary equipment is on board. The same goes for the runway. The most important factor for a successful landing is a professional crew.

The radio navigation equipment of the runway sends signals to the aircraft and thanks to this, the pilots steer the aircraft in the desired direction. According to Antonov, when the minimum height is reached, the plane can be landed only when special light paths are visible.

We remind you that the experts told why the Mriya plane, which weighs several hundred tons, can fly fast… This giant can fly thanks to the balance of four key physical processes: push, lift, weight, and drag.

Dmitry Antonov has already shown that there are secret rooms on the An-225… Not every pilot on the aircraft crew has been there.
