Video de Landing at Curacao Hato airport as seen from cockpit B747-400 Watch the shadow of the plane growing larger!
For all those wandering why we landed before displaced threshold
The displaced threshold at this airport is necessary to clear the visable ridges on a IMC approach(that is when in clouds) at the legal altitudes
But when you are VFR(that is when you are visual with the runway), there is no objection, once you are clear of the last ridge to steepen your approach a little bit and land before the displaced threshold
One is then able to make the turnoff as in this video, saving the company some taxi fuel and engine running time
