    Shuttle Landing From the Cockpit: Video

    This lo-res 8.5MB (6min45sec) video looks through the HUD (Heads Up Display) on the flight deck of Atlantis. You hear the flight deck audio of the three astronauts interacting. The video starts at about FL830 (83,000 ft), 260 Kts, Mach 2.5 velocity and 1.1 Gs.

    You'll hear the term HAC (Heading Alignment Cylinder) used a lot.

    It is the shuttle's version of a traffic pattern to line up with the runway centerline. It is a circular instead of rectangular pattern. 

    They really love their 'job'.
