Looking closely at the landings at the Skiatos apt in Greece, as this one made by a Wizzair A321 is only recommended for... short stature!😁

From this photo you can see how close the road and people watching the landings at Skiathos apt are to the runway.

It should be noted that the LGSK runway is only 5,341-foot (1628 meters) long and seeing the traces left by the tires there is someone who is landed before the runway.

I stopped the video in several places and would estimate the wheels were 12-15 feet above the surface of the road. Definitely touched down early at the lower end of the scale. I have never seen a landing that close to spectators and I've seen numerous videos of this type. The plane also appears to lose a touch of lift and sort of sink a touch just before the road. Definitely low on the glide slope compared to the average landing at that airport.

UK holiday flight returning to the UK if they are fully loaded seats they have to refuel in Greece, as they cannot fully fuel the plane for the return too heavy for take off on a short runway.

This ... beautiful Dutch pilot shows us a landing at LGSK  from her cockpit.

The landing video begins at the second minute.
