The island where the most aborted approaches and go-arounds in Europe occur due to extremely variable wind directions. And the place where one of the most unique architectural solutions in the world was used to make the airport safe! This time we're heading to Madeira again! We show you how one of the world's most extreme airports works on one of the most popular islands for tourists. We find out how pilots perform technical approaches to the more laborious runway 05, which actually has no final straight. We go under the runway, to the section that is held up by nearly two hundred huge columns a good 90 meters above the Atlantic Ocean, right next to the mountain. We show you what a go-around in Madeira is like from the cockpit in the constantly raging wind. And we take a look at the brilliant ideas, engineering creativity and earthworks that were needed to create a truly safe airport by 2000, deep in the Atlantic Ocean. What do pilots have to take into account during a flight to Madeira and a landing in Funchal? How does one of the most unique airports in the world work, and how do the air traffic controllers there work? Why did the legendary island attempt the impossible when it decided to build an airport on a seemingly unsuitable terrain? Madeira, as seen by the pilot, the airport designer and the passenger. This time, the people who tell us about the island of eternal spring and its operations are: Gábor Somogyi-Tóth, airport designer, managing director of Aeropark, and Márton Széchey, Wizz Air training captain.
