A380 Hits Wake Turbulence On Takeoff 

Nah, B-52 can flex beyond 8 ft

Not really

@@CptDallasyou forgot to add "once"

@@CptDallas A B-52 designed (with same wingspan) and built in 'modern times' ie with composites rather than metal construction would have surreal 'flex', indeed would need significant wing outrigger undercarriage (think U2). Would be interesting to see a simulation of such ...

​@@alfnoakes392the BUFF does have outriggers

fast & furious producers : write that down..!!!

hahaha .. weeeeeee .. spin it baby

basic tail rotor input, nothing special.

Impressive to a layman maybe. You could land a jumbo fucking jet in there.

yeah.

You mean perfectly OK T/O of LHA?

@@jayerjavec True. Well, there was some wake turbulence. At least the title wasn't "gets slammed by wake turbulence."

@@jayerjavec “perfectly OK” and “hits wake turbulence” can be one in the same 🤷‍♂️

Fun to watch but nothing special for the pilot.

I had a job where I would go to drill platforms and mountain top communications sites mostly in the Brooks Range with some just a flattened spot on a steep ridge. Many of the pilots I flew with over 20 years ago called the 407 the sports car of small helicopters. We’d do some cool maneuvers. I’d fly a few times a week mostly in the summer.

@@Chris_at_Home the Hughes 500D was the one I always considered the sports car. So much fun to fly.

@@MeppyMan Never got a ride in one of those. 206, 407, 212,412, Bo 105, Super Puma are the ones I’ve been in. Also would get transported in various types of aircraft. The life of a communications tech in Alaska.

@@Chris_at_Home nice! I think the only one I’ve been in (just as a passenger) from that list is the 212. I’d never seen a 207, rather unique model. The 500D has 5 blade rotor with direct controls (no hydraulics) and so is very responsive and nimble. Only a single engine though. Used a lot for deer hunting in the hills of New Zealand when I was growing up. Oh and Magnum PI :)

I once watched an air ambulance come in to land on a freeway after a HORRIFIC wreck. Raining, winds gusting 50+, trees at the edge of the right of way on both sides. This pilot came in, circled twice, and set it down like it was a calm day. Truly AWESOME skills there!!

Yeah, he needed to really mind his situational awareness on that landing. He only had about 15-20 feet on his right side before that lamp post and fuel tank. A big gust of wind from his left right before touchdown could have turned that into a really bad day

@@TexJester-no8thWhen unstability is normality, extra long vectors wont matter so much, but gusting still makes it impressive.

Maybe a bit of military experience???🤔

I used to live high up in a condo building, and could look down at a rooftop helipad for a children's hospital in the middle of a busy city. Every day where was a helicopter landing, and it was always seriously impressive. Medical, of course, has its own challenges over and above the usual helicopter aviation. Cheers to the pilots and everyone else involved. The rest of us are lucky to have these people around.

I flew on one yesterday back into the UK, an amazing piece of engineering

The first thing I messaged my friend after my first A380 flight was just "What a f*cking machine."

Yep always loved my flights in them. A shame that the model wasn’t a commercial success for airbus (even if I understand why)

​@thierryfaquet7405 but it was a commercial success... the project made profit, albeit thanks to Emirates, but it's not like Airbus lost out on the A380 project, it just didn't have the longevity

@@ryan1111111555555555 the A380 absolutely didn't make a profit. There's a reason they shut down the production lines so early. That said in 2024 the A380 saw a rise in popularity on the airlines side with the post covid travel rebound. But it doesn't change anything for Airbus, the A380 sold poorly.

Reminds me of the Kai Tak approach

My nan was doing exactly this too! But we took her to the ER and it turned out she'd had a catastrophic stroke. 😐

@@fluchterschoenmy cat had one of those this morning, now she’s curled up sleeping it off

There's something weird about that video. The plane is moving around a lot but the camera doesn't seem to move with it??

@@pauldzim It's an effect caused by the image stabilisation feature on the phone or camera it was shot with. See also /watch?v=7EXDyHSRxpE

It's a training exercise, you can see the comments on the video on how bad the captain was

It's sop.

It's just SOP

In other words everyone did their job?

That clip looked like a simulator to me.

Someone should add nightime clips of the River Visual to Rwy 19 at DCA and the Expressway Visual to Rwy 31 at LGA. Those are some real eye-openers.

Indeed!

hahaha those are beasts

Shout out to LA Flights Live, and Peter the host....the home of the 'One more plane'. That A380 wake turbulence was impressive, but there was a similar situation on the same stream a few months back that had the second A380 rocking back and forth several times! It was truly wild. As a Paying member of LA Flights live, I invite you to come and hang with Peter (the amazing host) and the rest of us from LAX, and several times a month SFO. Streams are Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays....with surprise streams thrown in. Thanks for reading this....hope to see you there!

Agreed. Also, i wonder why the go around. Couldn't see any reason on the runway.

FO is flying the plane. Captain has hand on yoke for some reason.

@@jjxtwo1 that was my suspicion, but the camera makes it so convincing.

@@jjxtwo1 on yoke + on throttle over the FO's hands for some reason. Very disturbing

If you look on the bottom right of the screen there is a flight that was about to cross the runway

The hell are you talking about

@@Pbairsoftmanhe is talking about that an a380 has 3 ailerons plus the spoilers and still gets hit by wake turbulence.

​@@thezood the hell he talking about!

@@joostvhts ailerons, turb wakulence and things

@@joostvhts he is talking about that flying building has 3 ailerons plus the wings attached to main wing and still gets hit by wake turbulence.

Bullshit.

Yeah, too in charge. Get your hands off my thrust levers bro

@@Chris-ho4ki - What? No, he's supposed to do that! That way both the pilot and co knows for sure that the thruster is set to max. BTW - simulation, not for real.

@@boringpolitician I saw this full video elsewhere on YT and there was a debate as to whether it was appropriate or heavy-handed (so to speak). One never knows who is really a pilot here on YT, but I got the impression from the back and forth that it was a D-move to do that.

Wrong times two. 1. The little c captain was completely over the top with his "help". All of the non pilots are so jazzed about how quickly he jumped on the throttles so quickly. Yet while he was jumping the gun doing that he missed the First Officers call for Flaps 20, which is the FIRST thing he's supposed to do on a G/A. The is no rush to jam in the throttles like that, particularly if the First Officer already selected TOGA on the throttle switch. If you watch carefully, the FO is selecting TOGA as the captain is jamming in max (or nearly so) thrust. The Auto Throttles are already commanding a programmed amount of thrust for the GA. Besides, the airplane only requires a half a shove to get it flying. Adding too much thrust in a Go Around is a sure way to screw things up. Since he took so long to call positive rate, the gear speed is possibly an issue as are the Flap speeds. Plus, underslung engines produce a lot of pitch up moment and this can really get you in a tight box, particularly with a low altitude level off. He was too busy on the tower frequency. There is no rush to call the tower. The rule is Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. And there is no reason to shout like he was doing. It's distracting and raises the tension in the cockpit for absolutely no reason. And this was not a sim. I won't even address his hand being all over the yoke for all of it. @@boringpolitician

If you search RU-vid hard enough, you'll find a wings stress test at a manufacturing plant, the wings bend up insanely high before it even comes close to breakage. It's wild.

Type aircraft wing flex test into your search, you should find like a 43 second video by Insider. I don't want to link it because I feel like RU-vid will flag my comment as spayum mayne.

@@ErhanGaming I believe it's 27 feet for a B747. Crazy.

I'm with you on that.

Koo​@@ErhanGaming

It was nice to see from the cockpit perspective. Not always a great view from the back of the plane.

That's a good story, and you told it well.

it’s not a story@@iqless7313

​@@iqless7313with such enthusiasm.

To me it looks like the the FO is pf. The captain says "positive rate" and waits for the pf to reply "gear up".

Looks like they are on approach, so it is during landing. And nothing to worry about, the wing and engines are all designed to move like that.

@@se-kmg355thanks for the info mate appreciate it

Yes! I saw that too. Seems like mountain wave with lenticular clouds. Awesome.

They left a passenger's handbag where they took off from and they had to go back and get it.

@@ge2623 err.. you know it's cargo right? 😁i believe not a passenger, but the owner wife's handbag...😅

@@hilman94 Gotcha. 👌

Forgot to see where is McDonald's

Bro, I can’t even imagine how much force it takes to shake that thing so hard
