Video: Landing at PHX Terminal 3 Helipad
Join me for the last 2 minutes of a flight to Sky Harbor.
Well, I finally worked out the kinks in my POV.1 camera. This time, I mounted it to the outside of the helicopter on my door pointing forward, slightly right, and slightly down.
I took this video while coming in for a landing on the Terminal 3 helipad at Phoenix Sky Harbor airport (PHX). The helipad is on top of the parking structure beside the tower, between the north and south runways. It was a quiet morning; not much traffic at all.
Here’s a photo I snapped after I shut down and my passengers had gone away. (Yes, I used that darn fisheye lens again.)

Thanks for this Maria. Great as always.
Bravo! I think you have a solid handle on it now Maria! The video is really neat- I think the camera placement is wonderful. Keep those videos coming- I think people really like to see them. I also like how you have the pilot-tower conversations. Adds to the realism and it shows just how much you work and enjoy your job.
Wicked, wicked cool M! Thanks for sharing! Keep them coming!!
Thanks, guys. I’m going to keep making these. I want to build a library of video clips I can put into a more substantial video project.
On Sunday, I’ll be flying into McCarran Airport in Las Vegas at the end of a flight up the Colorado River. I hope to have some good video from that trip, too. And I might just be using the pilot isolation switch to block out the sounds of my passengers as I make my final approach. I have a feeling that there’s going to be more chatter than I want to record.
Wow! That was beyond cool! I can’t wait to see more, especially with the intercom piped in!
