@@mvd4436are you that clueless you didn’t even realize the pilot did a go-around because the wing touched? They never landed in the video. And here you are talking all about how smooth the landing was 😂😂
As a real life Airline Captain (787-9 and 10) i would love a F.O. with the same calmness of this lady sitting on the right seat any time! Great job lady! 💪
Incident: United B737 at New York on Aug 20th 2016, wing tip strike on go around By Simon Hradecky, created Monday, Aug 22nd 2016 21:03Z, last updated Monday, Aug 22nd 2016 21:06Z A United Boeing 737-700, registration N13716 performing flight UA-1958 from Houston Intercontinental,TX to New York La Guardia,NY (USA), was on final approach to La Guardia's runway 13 following a localizer approach runway 22 circling 13 at about 19:57L (23:57Z), when the aircraft went around from low height, tower observed a wing of the aircraft touch the runway surface. The aircraft climbed to 3000 feet and joined another approach to runway 22 circle runway 13, tower advised a runway inspection was in progress. The runway inspection reported (illegible), tower queried the aircraft whether they copied the transmission, the crew acknowledged but advised "they wanted to get this thing onto the ground" and declared emergency. The aircraft circled to runway 13 and landed without further incident. After landing tower advised the crew that the runway inspection had picked up some debris from the runway. The FAA rated the occurrence an incident and reported on a go around the winglet struck the runway resulting in "unknown damage". The occurrence aircraft resumed service after about 15 hours on the ground.

@@omarselim6281 Yeah, that IS crazy. I would have thought that the whole aircraft would have undergone a very detailed airframe inspection, and that it would take a lot longer than that.
I was plane spotting until I saw this exact plane and I already tracked it down, one of my rarest sightings yet (you are a legend for not screaming “oh my god!” 10 times in a row
The lady filming in other scenarios: "Ayyyy, those guys are shooting at us, and bullets are flying by.." "Ayyyy, the patient is flat lining, i need a defibrillator.." "Ayyyy, we've just lost 10 million in the stock market, and the clients are calling.." I can't think of any more 😂
@@minkyneets4768 typically, the severity of most people's reaction to a possibly catastrophic event is not modulated by their ability to participate in the solution, but rather by the severity of the consequences. Thus, people who are able to somewhat modulate their reaction by their level of participation in a solution are seen to have an admirable characteristic of "cool headedness".
@@omarselim6281or she just had a few nips of gin. I'm still trying to figure out what you're saying - how does she modulate her reaction by her level of participation to the solution
Well no because the Max 737 is a different plane fr9m the 737-800 but using its winglets does not make it an 800. Because the 737 max also has different plane systems, and working out the cockpit.
@@dxmaaa no not just different winglets. It differentiates from your perception of this perspective by actually being distinct from the 737 800. They are the same and they look the same, but they have different instrumental systems and engine systems.
Bloody landing today in Alicante. Ryanair. Worse landing ever. It was like we just dropped the last 50 feet. How the under carriage didn't come up through the floor I don't.. Absolutely bloody awful 😠
Thanks you for choosing to fly Ryanair. Last year, over 90% of our flight arrived. We hope you enjoyed yours and we look for it to welcome you aboard again soon.
Pilot instantly knew this was not going to end well. Wind shear. So he calls an abort/go around and powers engines back up, lifting away to come around and try again. So grateful for these guys making those split second decisions that are definitely for the better.
@@LAFC. Notice how much runway he has already passed over. He has clearly passed his ZONE and powers up engines to lift back up and go around. He cannot safely land now, here, after dramatically increasing both power and altitude.
They’ll fire the FO and the captain for something like that. Of course I don’t know the whole story but I’ve heard stories of both pilots being fired for less.
@@120mmsmoothbore2 yeah but they probably should have gone around before touching down, looks like they were still trying to get on center, unless there was a gust of wind
For people who don’t know: It’s not a 737 Max It’s a United 737-700 that has retrofitted split Scimitar winglets. The max winglets look a but different to Split Scimitar winglets.
The winglets were actually replaced by larger widgets in the the new models, but the widgets are actually lighter due to a redesigned fruchtel that is mounted on the starboard side. Each redesigned widget and its corresponding fruchtel reduces weight without sacrificing strength, allowing pilots to trundle and billow the aircraft leading to less residual brash on the eductor where the bypass sensor is mounted to the fuselage.
@@zippySquirrelface It is a go around, they have to try again at landing, and don’t underestimate the power of planes, they can abort landings with ease.
Closest call I ever had on a plane was landing on that runway in a crazy storm. Pilots were landing on instruments, almost no visibility, the first time we saw ground we were not even close to being lined up with the runway, almost took a nose dive in to the drink, quick reaction time by the pilots got us back up in to the air to come around for another go. Luckily he buttered the second attempt. Still remember it vividly
Wow. Honestly that was scary. What I was thinking about was being that far left of the runway centerline plowing into the ILS glide slope antenna which could've been disastrous! Not to mention that sink rate making it barely past the EMAS. That was unnerving even to watch.
Awesome capture! May I feature this go around in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers and happy new year!
I wonder how long that plane has to spend in the hangar getting fixed and how much money it costs fixing that winglet. I'm guessing several months and over a million dollars.
That's incredible, your wife did a good job filming it! Would you be okay with me featuring this in an episode of Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
You are welcome to use it, but it was already on 3 minutes of aviation with my permission. Also, others are using it without permission. That's the modern internet, I guess. I appreciate your asking for permission.
If you look at the clouds and weather, outside, windsheer was a high possibility. Thats why they did a go-around. Well done to those in the flight deck. Remember, it takes about 4-5 seconds for the engines to spool up from the landing configuration!
Imagine not just getting your license revoked. But then also having millions around the world know it was you. I pray every day that I don’t go out like this
They definitely aren't getting anything revoked. Pilots dont get licenses revoked for mistakes like this. They get licenses revoked for breaking rules and laws.
What happened to no excessive manoeuvring on final approach? How short was the final? Wasnt remotely aligned. Absolutely crazy bank angle for so close. Should have called go around long before, as it was clearly a botched approach
And they are made to flex.....don't look out at the wing during turbulence it be flexing like a ducks wing. And the phrase is....AAAYYY HELLO, a dual WTF 😊
@@Lazypanda377 Also Winglets are an Option choice on the 737-800, You are right about MAX aircrafts having winglets, but do more research before you make an argument.
I was in a flight back into BHM from DC and our wing was soooo close to the ground. I thought this was going to happen. Crazy how it actually does happen sometimes
I'm not a pilot but have done some training. Was that approach not too fast and should the flaps not have been full out. I'm thinking that the pilot was battling with cross winds of a storm.
The woman who filmed this AND stayed so calm has MUCH bigger balls then i have 😂But seriously…….RESPECT for you lady! Glad you all landed save after this “accident”. 👍🤗
Talk shite, probably never flown with anyone. Where are you getting your stats from? You’re talking about one of the biggest airlines, if not the biggest short haul airlines in Europe with some of the youngest fleet. Their safety record is second to no one. So I say, you’re talking shite
After the wing strike, the pilot made the decision to go back up and reapproach the runway. Maybe he had no choice, but I would have been terrified. The problem is that the pilot had no idea how damaged the wing was, but he is going back up with a wing that just struck the ground. Reapproach takes about 15 minutes, and that would have been the scariest 15 minutes of my life!
You can see it's runway 13 from the window! The plane not only touched down way too early but also very, very far from the runway centerline! What were those United pilots thinking about!? It was also a LOC RW22 circling approach to RW13, but what a poor circling attempt! Right main gear touched the ground, this was not a go-around but a rejected landing. Really, really dangerous situation. The weather wasn't even that bad (scattered clouds at 2500 ft with 10 knots wind). Frightening stuff.
