Flying over France
France has some of the busiest airspace in Europe, and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) sits at the centre of it. Located at Roissy-en-France, roughly 25 kilometres north-east of central Paris, CDG is the country's largest airport and the main hub of Air France. Its four parallel runways are arranged in two pairs either side of the terminal complex, which makes it a satisfying airport to fly into in a simulator: long, stable final approaches and a sprawling airfield that is easy to recognise from the air.
The flight below focuses on the final approach and landing in a narrow-body Airbus jet — a routine but demanding phase of flight that shows how an airliner is configured and stabilised before touchdown, with the farmland and towns north of Paris passing underneath.
More French routes, including scenic general-aviation flights over the countryside and coastline, will be added here as new videos are published on the Virtual World Airways YouTube channel.
