Airplane drops 100 feet in turbulence and passengers scream | Philippine Airlines 

1:48 is what you came for

This is the reason why all guests must keep their seatbelts on

Happened to us, everyone was screaming and praying, my small son was sitting there laughing waiting for the next drop. Was an amusement ride for him.

I quite enjoy the turbulence. I understand it's scary but at the same time it's like a wild ride in a theme park. Recently on my way to Paris, the turbulence stayed for almost 10 mins and I must've looked like a mad man grinning and enjoying while many were terrified.

I flew from Vancouver to the Philippines, 6 years ago, was a great flight, very smooth take off and beautiful landing. Thumbs up for a great pilot.

4 years ago, I travelled from Dubai to Hyderabad, India in an Airbus A380. It was the best flight ever. I could literally place a glass of water on the tray and it didn't even ripple! The stability is just on another level!

The wing flex both ways was insane. I've seen wings bounce a lot, but that was one time where it felt the wing was REALLY pulled. The thing is, the real stresses are actually in the wing root. The moving end actually has a lot less stress on it.

1:47...Turbulence 👀✈️

The issue with turbulence is that it is very hard to tell for the passengers whether the sudden descent of the aircraft is an affair that is still manageable or rather a mechanical defect with potential fatal consequences having experienced turbulence myself back in 2016 on a flight from Santo Domingo to New York when suddenly the aircraft descended twice about 500 feet and then finally another 700 feet still is fresh on my mind thank you very much and have a great afternoon 🤗🤗

I'm glad you included the whole approach and landing. It looks awesome!

Anytime I fly through clouds I expect the worst turbulence.

Honestly the beauty of the scenery overwhelms the turbulence. This was wonderful to watch, thank you for the upload!

That approach over the water is beautiful

Shout out to the passenger who said "oh yeah!" when they hit the air pocket. I would have done the same. Love love flying.

Dropping a 100 feet from turbulence is physically impossible but if you can see it seems like the plane is doing what we call descending

Happens all the time in Central America, especially during rainy season afternoons, except you’re usually in a smaller aircraft. Nothing to be concerned about at that altitude. In fact, my (at the time) 4 year old screamed “wheee, let’s do it again!” What i find more disconcerting is a sudden drop like that at cruise as I experienced on night over the west coast of Ecuador. We buffeted pretty strongly after the rise and drop and the flight crew clearly had to hand fly for a few minutes to recover.

And this is why I always keep my seatbelt on. When I was coming in for landing at Newark I got into a really strong air pocket and the plane dropped like 30 feet it felt like my stomach was rising into my chest. We flew into a Convective cell. This is exactly what it was like. 1:40 you can see how the wings are flexing back-and-forth like crazy as there are some very strong winds inside that cloud

I flew on Phillipines air lines twice,. They are prolly the BEST pilots out there,.... the smoothest landings ever,... they are well trained, .. id fly them any day !!!

I flew a Korean Airlines 747 out of Narita heading to LAX. The 747 was ascending out of Narita with lots of turbulence. I knew it would be a bumpy ride to reach cruising height when I can see the Korean stewards nervous. And all of a sudden boom the wings made a thunderous sound as it caught wind after falling 500+ feet. What a ride…!!!!!

Grown ass adults screaming like babies over a little bit of turbulence is just too much test of my patience

newSubcriBer here … tears 😭 dropped when the pilot said .. Mabuhay! … can’t wait to see Philippines again, it’s over a decade now 🙁 Thanks for sharing sweet girl.

Years ago, I was with PAl from Manila to San Francisco ,all of was was awaken to a louse noise Ana constant dropping. Everyone was screaming with no comfort from the pilot , never appear from the entercom. I thought,it was my last breath. They never let us know what it was weather a turbulence or what . To this day , I had never forgotten that experience.I was traumatized so as the other passengers.

Thank you so much for all your comments and for subscribing to my channel! You all made me so happy! 😘❤

I'm no meteorologist, but I can imagine the various high, and low pressure the Pilots have to take on in the pacific. It's been awhile, but never a bad experience on PAL. Nice flight attendants, and baggage automatically handled to connecting flights within.

Nice video, smooth landing, watching it was just like being there. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It is unpleasant for the passangers to feel the drop, but it is not dangerous! The plane is not actually dropping, the wings are creating lift at all times even if there is a slight change of altitude due to strong winds.

Beautiful city view.Would definitely go to this place one day.

I always had a great and smooth flight experience with Philippine Airlines. Kudos to their pilots. We cannot control the turbulence and everyone of us will experience it when we travel. I had a few, it was scary but I'm still grateful that I'm safe and alive up to now.

I experienced worst than this. I was on a flight from Naga to Manila June 2021 and we experienced a very frightening turbulence mid-air. I really thought we were all gonna die because it happened to us for like more than a minute. I know there’s a very low chance of crashing a plane from a turbulence but my heart felt like our plane will crash lol😂

I went to the Philippines to visit my family this year for 3 weeks, but time really flies… I’ll be back in maybe 5 months

Years ago my father was a crew chief at Newark Airport in Newark, NJ and always said you never take your seat belt off until you get to the gate because you never know if something could happen.

Just got back from the Philippines 2 weeks ago had so much fun we supposed to go back again September can't wait

This is why all the passengers need to keep their seatbelt on

I experienced worst and scary turbulence on my trip from Almaty Kazahkstan to Dushanbe Tajikistan. Screamed and was so anxious.

I enjoyed the scenery the most! You have a beautiful country.

Nice vidéo. it happened to me in a Airbus a300 a bit of fear a bit of laughs lol but it was a special experience good luck to you and i hope that you'll reach 1 million subscribers

I miss the Philippines 😔 I’ll comeback again Philippines. Next year .

I experienced it too during an approach to hongkong airport, plane suddenly drops a lot of altitude, its also on a philippine airlines plane

One of the best videos I have seen! Congrats! Keep them coming.

Looked like a pretty smooth flight. You can only really judge turbulence by showing what is going on in the cabin, not by looking at the wing.

Flying through clouds is always turbulent

I definitely gotta fly this same approach into this runway in my flight sim! Anyone know the airport, runway and approach course by any chance?

So beautiful ❣️ view on clouds, beautiful landing and gorgeous weather.

I enjoyed watching. nice capture during the decent. and nice arrival too. Looks like the Philappines has alot of rough air around. Stil Insane wing flex and the Pilot did amazing handling the aircraft.😁

Experienced the same on onboard a PAL A330 many years ago. Cebu Pacific was still in it's infancy during that time. It was worse than this. Passengers were being served with snacks when the aircraft suddenly lost altitude due to turbulence. I was drinking a cup of hot coffee when this sudden loss of altitude occurred. Half of the hot coffee spilled on my chest. Good thing I was wearing a thick jacket when it occurred. The loss of altitude was so significant that most of the passengers involuntarily raised their arms above their heads. It was like riding a rollercoaster. Good thing the pilot was able to immediately take control of the situation.

I couldn't tell that they had touchdown. That was incredible!

Everyone: *explaining turbulence* Me: yo that’s a smooth landing

It was not that bad turbulence at all! Looks like it’s a smooth flight! I miss my home place! What a touched down time 9-O-10(LOL) I was there during typhoon Odette, MCIAA was destructive by that horrible typhoon, I was stranded for 3 days, have to rebook my international flight when reached Manila, I hope the airport is fully functional by now! Nice Video!

Thick cumulus and summer in the tropics - yup ..it will be turbulent haha .. sometimes its unavoidable due to ATC vectoring you or the nature of the STAR. Always be buckled in folks!

Absolutely super view and beautiful landing. Wow! Now I want to travel there!

It's great planes are able to withstand that kinda stress. It's even greater that the passengers can too!

So much towering CU around this time of year in the Philippines. You see many towering CU that means turbulent air, convection, updrafts and downdrafts. Can't avoid it or the planes would be way off course if they were to try and avoid heavy weather.

clouds are heavy mass of water vapor,it condenses when colder objects making contact to it.Just little Physics.

The worst turbulence anyone can experience, is in the flight path from South India until Burma. The strongest, takes place in the Bangladeshi airspace, and I think most passengers, could literally wet themselves, as the line to lavatory indicates afterwards.😅

Wow! Mas maganda na ang airport ng Cebu! Sana Mailipat na sa Bulacan ang Airport from Parañaque...Nice to hear the voice of Ms Inka M.!

NIce rtx graphics card you got there buddy, is this a mod for msfs2020

Me to, that cloud always enterupting when i fly, and almost make me scream. Darna.

A properly trained pilot knows how to deal with turbulence, YES it is frightening depending on how bad it is, when we were deployed to Iraq turbulence was so bad you'd think the aircraft was going to break apart, but it got to a point it did not bother me as much. Remember most airline crashes occur during takeoff and landing. Trust the pilot and the aircraft and it'll be over before you know it.

Hello Capiz, I'm currently working on a documentary about turbulence and wondered if I could include this footage? Let me know if that would be ok. Thanks :)

Sometimes when i fly a plane to japan and i always get scared when turbulance comes when the plane is inside the cloud

Note: This is a Philippine Airlines Airbus A350-900 XWB. Registration is unknown for us.

Every Airlines hat turbulence its normal when I flawn from Manila to Dubai it was more Scream the whole plane was shaking at whole Times that geht's me Adrenalin 😶👌

That happened to me flying out of Manila. It was soooo scary! And we had 14 hours left!! 😲

I’m not sure if it is turbulence but I always experience this with every flight to Cebu especially during the day. The clouds there are so thick pag final approach na.

My family went on a plane the other day we had tubulcne thr planw got stuck by laughing

that's not a turbulence that happened in 1:40, its an air pocket

Man i experienced turbulence flying back from taipei to LAX flying over russia/alaska route on eva air back in 2011 and that plane was dropping up and down for a cool 2 mins none stop but the turbulence lasted at least 5-10mins. Remember waking up and people were just screaming and praying. Now im headed back to P.I on the 22nd and its showing thunderstorm weather. Man im scared.

1:49 "ohh yeahh!" That guy really enjoyed it. Way to go, pal!

I dont mind the turbulence my concerns is "what if these engines shut off " ?

I had a similar experience flying from Fort Lauderdale FL to Cleveland Ohio during the take off process 5 minutes after leaving the ground and the plane dropped a few feet because of the turbulence. It didn't felt nice.

Dear Capiz Flier, thank you for the video! May I feature a part of it in a compilation? I would credit you and link your video. Thank you

This is why wings are titanium, superlight, they flex and can twist with out snapping.

New friend beautiful cloud view and smooth landing....

Everybody talking about their experience… Meanwhile me : why is there a 16 minute video to show a small incident ..?

Just like the name of ur YT Channel...Capiznon man ni!👍

Thankfully this was caught on camera

1:40 Turbulence

Turbulence or air pocket! It must be an air pocket if you drop. Have you read of a 1000 feet drop??

Pilots must understand different cloud formations before zooming into them

This gives me ptsd from a southwest flight in like 2004 we had horrible horrible frightening turbulence that even for me as a “love to fly” guy scared me. Why after all that we then get a bomb threat and had to land in Texas and plane was routed to end of runway and we all were escorted off for baggage check. That day was the day I never ever ever ever felt the same flying. Remember 9/11 was not to long before so when we were just falling out the sky I thought they got our plane and we are done. I never will forget the people on plane praying and crying and screaming. I literally thought I was gonna die. They flew low over land for awhile I think that’s what spooked us because we were flying from LA to CA non stop. But they flew low like that to make emergency landing because of bomb threat….I still have not really flown since

Philippine Airlines Pilots are Awesome 👏❤️

It was only a little bit of turbulence 🤔

That 1 guy's sounding like hes happy the plane is going down.

Once upon a time I lived in Denver and never failed a bumpy ride over the Rockies (go figure). One time we were climbing out of Denver Init'l and hit a pocket just like this. Good times!

Great video. What a beautiful area! Just wondering tho how you know the drop was 100ft? Thanks for sharing!

I didn't see the plane drop, I didn't hear anybody screaming, and I didn't see you drop the camera. So I'm not really sure what I'm looking at.

You know you’re in for a bumpy ride when going through thick clouds 😂

I just want to say to the men who always laughs and jokes when this happens… thank you! They r the reason why I don’t panic.

That's why when I fly I wear brown pants

Ooohhhh Filipinos on a Philippine Airlines flight❤️👌awesome landing I bet!! You are in the hands of one of the world's best Pilots😍

Mr. Mister was on this flight and said to take these broken wings.

Have always said this pilots deserve respect for sure

We don't get what we expected from the video, but because it's beautiful, it was worth it...

Experienced the worst turbulence over Bay of Bengal, while travelling back from Andaman Islands to Calcutta. Kids and women were wailing, the flight crew looked panicked.

Jest come back. We had a good flight. Great video thanks 😊

Turbulence is awesome. Some think I’m nuts for saying that, but it’s a bit thrilling. Still scary yes, given human nature. But knowing what I know about airframe stability and statistics…it’s nearly impossible that someone catastrophic could happen.

Reminds me of flying into Buffalo🙄 Always some wack weather going on thanks to Lake Erie

Cumulus cloud, nothing to scream about, enjoy the ride!

I really enjoyed watching this video ! Can you please tell me which device did you use while recording , is it a camera or a phone? 🙏🙏

Beautiful clouds and day, yeah I like turbulence because I’m a plane nerd but I see why most people don’t.
