Inside the Cockpit: Flying the Epic RNP Approach at RIO in cockpit of GOL 737MAX

Now, for the first time, Just Planes takes viewers inside the 737MAX cockpit, covering three exciting routes: from São Paulo Congonhas to Brasília, Vitória, and, in this feature, Rio de Janeiro’s Santos Dumont Airport.

Known for its short runway and challenging approach, Santos Dumont is considered one of Brazil’s most extreme airports, an arrival that only GOL’s Captains are qualified to perform.

In this program, GOL made a special request to fly the RNP W approach to runway 02R. This advanced navigation procedure brings the aircraft breathtakingly close to Rio’s iconic mountains, making for a thrilling and unforgettable landing.

As always, Just Planes has enriched the experience by using AirNav Radar data to track and showcase the flights throughout the program.

The full cockpit film runs 4 hours and 30 minutes, and aviation fans can download it now at shop.justplanes.com. Plus, there’s a special 40% discount on previous GOL cockpit programs for those who want to relive the airline’s earlier adventures.
