Boeing 777 Flies Upside Down 

The ldg gear warning horn sounds, they didn’t forget

The 777 Maneuvre is known as a Derry Wing Over named after Dehavilland test pilot John Derry DFC (who coincidentally passed away 70 years ago in September during an Air Show). It allows a high speed turn to be made and to bleed off excess speed at the same time. Obviously it wouldnt be undertaken with passengers on board but as an air display trick its pretty impressive.

There’s no way they forgot to lower the landing gear with all those alarms going off

So glad I was wearing my headphones at 1:36 😂😂😂

Wow. You’d think that alarm would clue them in.

Lot of people doubt about them forgeting the landing gear. In the video we can clearly hear the first pilot saying in french "Tu n'as pas sorti le train ? (you didn't set the gear down ?)", and the second to answer "Non (No)". So, yes, they forgot :)

2:25 Even the plane looked happy in the end! 😊

That 777 was not inverted, barely came to a 90 degree bank angle. If you do this wing over correctly you can go up to 120 - 130 degrees, but since over 90 degrees is defined as aerobatics (for which the 777 is not cleared) they have to keep it at this. When doing this manoeuvre you need airspeed to pull up the nose, thus bleeding the airspeed and then you can roll in which causes the nose to drop again. Then you gently roll out and you are back on speed again. It looks more impressive than it actually is. And the guys that forgot the landing gear ? What the heck were they thinking ? What is that annoying sound we cannot identify ? In any case there is a way you quickly find out you forgot the landing gear. If all of a sudden it takes a lot more power to taxi, the marshaller became a lot taller all of a sudden and the landing roll is a lot shorter...............chances are that you forgot something. 😀

I’m not convinced that the 777 got anywhere near a 90° bank angle. To me (a professional videographer and commercial aviation enthusiast), it’s clear that the person filming tilted their phone/camera during the turn to make it look more impressive than it actually was.

No AeroSucre today means double feature next time 😁

I would assume they have a landing gear failure and not that they intentionally belly landed it. I hope.

there must have been some kind of failure in the 3rd vid.. these guys came in way too high imo and i guess they where well aware that the gear wasn't down

The 777 maneuver is helpful if you ever get a stuck nose-up stabilizer or elevator to manage altitude, speed, and avoid stalling while planning actions. Usually, a 70-degree bank will get the job done as well.

Well done Avianca crew!! 👏

"after pilot forgets to lower landing gear" The master alarm: 😱😱😱LOWER THE TINGG

That landing was so smooth. .. . To a point. Check list next time.

Hey, what's that alarm? I don't know, can't be too important.

I like how they always show the thumbnail vid in the beginning so people pay attention to the other vids instead of just thinking about the thumbnail. Props to you man, props to you. Get it props like propellers 😂

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

In the last clip, I wish there was a better view of the spectator's faces beaming with joy.

1:40 DO YOU HEAR THAT NOISE JIM? WHAT NOISE? like how do you not realize the gear isnt down??

I wonder what the alarm is for, I will still land, it must be nothing important.

Does anyone have a camera that works?

Extraordinary manoeuvre of the 777 and an extraordinary claim in the title that it flew upside down.

1:35 Kind of surprised me to see an US registered tail number on the Avianca Aircraft. FAA says it belongs to a Trustee Bank in Salt Lake City, though. Maybe Avianca's credit card didn't go through.

Due to the camera tele-lens compression nobody can really say what the bank angle of that 777 was. That’s the trick of these videos. Lens compression makes everything look a lot more impressive !!

That gear up was not a "forgotten" by the pilot. It was a mechanical failure to extend. Hear all those noises?

The Boeing 777 maneuver was really cool! 😎

2:35 "Enjoy" LOL

does the "bank angle" warning go away, when you're inverted?

They got mcas on the roll axis now aswell?

1:45 Check that out for a steep approach!

Your videos just get better and better. Keep it up!

That was nowhere near inverted or upside down......

1:10 had me looking for a text for a whole half a minute 😅

It's even more satisfying knowing that it's an actual airliner and not an light aircraft such as military fighters

The only videos I give a like before even watching them.

Great videos as always. Even cooler that I know the owner of that Albatros!!

I guess aviation enthusiasts are not very good at geometry. I always find it funny how a 40° pitch becomes "vertical take-off", and how an 80° bank angle becomes "flying upside down". :) Don't take me wrong, I'm a pilot and aviation enthusiast myself.

The 777 move is a routine procedure for military operations.

The wingspan on the new planes is insane

What kinda props have them curled tips? That must be high performance yo.

This channel is too underrated 🔥🔥 keep up the great work ✈️

The plane landing on its belly was painful, such a beautiful aircraft to be damaged that way!

How does a pilot forget to lower the landing gear?

2:10 For all who don’t believe they forgot the landing gear… Listen to them: „As-tu baissé le train?“ - „Non!“ that translates to „Did you lower the gear?“ - „No!“ They simply forgot it. Why? We all do not know either! Could be anything. But during my training, my FI always reminded me to go around in any case of uncertainty! And still those things happen 🤷🏽‍♂️

Those bells and whistles are screaming GUMP GUMP GUMP until impact. Nice going guys !

And also should be noted that 777 completely empty with minimum fuel is crazy overpowered! 😀

Lol you got me! You made me think there was going to be a clip of a 777 flying upside down because you SAID that a 777 flew upside down! You rascal 😊

1:40 I too would forget the landing gear if that high-pitched sound were playing!

Great video!😸

Bank angle, Bank angle! :-D

777 Plane: BANK ANGLE...BANK ANGLE... Landing gear: Hold my beer...

The 777... "S*ck it, Airbus" 😅😅😅

On that Avianca with the L engine out, it's ok to run the reverser on the only good engine when landing? Wouldn't you get a a pretty solid yaw?

Nice try. That was a *Left Turn*

This is the channel to watch while on a flight 😬

BIG UPS 👍👍 to the crew that belly landed in the next to last clip. I was watchin' like "DON'T FLARE TOO EARLY, YOU'LL FLOAT...ok, flare, FLARE!!!" Givin' the circumstances, it was a stud landing...OH, other than, you know, the fact that you FORGOT TO LOWER THE GD GEAR ACE!! Aside from that unfortunate event, a perfect landing if I may say so. 🛫✈️😂✌️.

If a 707 could do a barrel roll during a flight demo, I would think a 777 could as well.

Boeing flies upside down ≠ Boeing almost goes inverted

0:36 There weren't any passengers on board, but the pilot did spill his drink. 😎

best air show ever here in Dubai

If you had to make a landing without gear down (as in a landing gear failure) would you want to shut off the engine just before touchdown so as not to damage it and hope the prop doesn't strike the ground? Or do you not want to give up having eh engine on in any circumstances?

The first video with the B777 at the airshow, it's probably the same 60 degree bank they did at the beginning of the video. Amazing what people's imaginations can think of, with the complete absence of background references and fun camera angles. Nothing inverted here, lol.

Love the caption no passengers were on board at the time, like hell yeah lol😂

The Azores has been a safety paradise for many airlines. Looks like Avianca was the latest.

Pilot 1: 'What's that beeping noise?" Pilot 2: "I don't know. Let's hurry up and land then we'll know."

Can a plane fly upside down with flap set to max lift setting?

The "almost upside down" maneuver was neither "upside down", nor "almost". It was merely just about overhead, giving that impression when doing a high-bank turn.

Did they really forget to lower the landing gear? That loud alarm surely would've reminded them of that. I would rather suspect a technical failure.

This isn’t inverted, no where near it! It’s a very sharp banking maneuver.

Big thx for the Lajes emergency landing mention! Just a tiny correction however, its a 787-8, thats all!

Dear My Friend Bang Lubis Watching From Tangerang Banten Indonesia Nice and Like Your Video God bless you

The amazing Boeing 777x! Can’t wait to fly on that plane!

If you check the original video for the gear-up landing and put subtitles on, the passenger and pilot get out and you can hear them discussing it, coming out of the aircraft swearing and saying "we were so busy monitoring the plane ahead I didn't even notice". It was *not* done on purpose.

Thank you

Must be a slow week in aviation

Looking at the video, they didn't forget. Looks like they had a nose gear down only. Probably gear issues. Do you just make it up?

Wasn't that constant ringing in the private plan saying you're low and your landing gear is up ?

excellent

“What’s that loud noise?? I dunno, I just bought this plane……” “schrunchh skidding ruins the wedding anniversary present…” (ooops)

To the 777 pilot: "I knew Tex Johnson, Tex Johnson was a friend of mine. You, sir, are no Tex Johnson." Aborts roll.

How do you forget your landing gear

How did Aerosucre get their hands on a 777??

“Inverted” 😂

Not the same without that mainstay of Aerosucre!

There was a lot more going on with that landing than just forgetting the landing gear 🤣

Gear warning horn : am I a joke to you?

They should make an alarm to warn you that your landing gear isn't down.

I’m already using the barf bag!!

The T7 does a 60° bank turn RU-vid: *OMG ALMOST INVERTED, FIGHTER PILOTS BARREL ROLLED IT OMGGG*

That 777 was ALMOST a Tex Johnson move.

Do we ever get the cockpit and instrument views during these airshow sales stunts?

On 17MAY1983 I was walking across the flight line at Barbers Point, HI on my way to work on my squadron’s aircraft. I heard this horrible sound of metal scraping, grinding and breaking. A moment or two later I see a ball of smoke arise from the runway and sirens start up. One of another squadrons aircraft were doing touch and gos. They forgot to put down the landing gear. No serious injuries but the aircraft was a write off.

1:09 I legitimately thought I got a notification!

They should have cut the engine just before impact, that would help spare engine damage.

An aircraft with that much lift surface and those two giant turbo fans, empty of passengers, empty of a giant fuel load, and empty of luggage/cargo, is basically a stunt plane.

BRO THAT MANEUVER DEMADS ALOT FROM PLANE HATS OFF TO BOEING THEY ARE THE BEST!

"upside down", you get an upside down thumbs up!

i wear headphones, i almost got up and checked messenger when I heard the sound, how trained I am
