This was an excellent video even if it was off topic. Thanks for sharing the link. I didn't notice anything different in this procedure than what the procedure for an instrument flight in a Piper Cherokee would be. At a class B airport like SFO, it's not even that different if you are flying VFR. Of course they had a lot of cool video screens in the cockpit that you don't find in most small planes, and you normally don't have a co pilot helping with the landing checklist in a small plane, but the discourse between the pilot and the tower and then ground control, including frequency changes etc. are the same.

You aviators may enjoy this. Sure a big Machine!.
Thought you might enjoy this one.
Here is an actual, Pilot's eye-view of a detailed landing of an Airbus A380 in San Francisco. Filmed in great detail with all the voiced instructions from the control tower. This will help to understand the complexity of landing such a big aircraft while being assured of the inherent safety of the operation. Click on the screen and go to full screen view. Enjoy.
