A normal airport landing gives you a runway thousands of metres long. Luke Czepiela had just 20.76 metres.
He landed his aircraft on the 27-metre-wide helipad atop Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab, a 56-storey hotel with virtually no room for error. Before the attempt, Czepiela completed more than 650 practice landings to perfect the approach, touchdown and braking.
When he finally went for it, he touched down and brought the aircraft to a stop in just 20.76 metres.That’s the difference between landing on a runway and landing on a tiny platform 212 metres above the ground. ✈️🔥
