A last-second bit of wind shear may have caused this hard landing on runway 19R at Harry Reid International Airport. Better check the shocks and struts!
Awesome catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description. Thanks!
Unless there had been a tailstrike, which there wasn't, a Chief wouldn't get involved. Depending on the G load at touchdown, ***MAYBE*** the FDAP guys would have called the crew, but looking at the video, they were no where near the hard landing G load trigger.
The interview: Hey welcome so i got a few questions! ok So it says you were a past ryanair pilot?? Yes did you learn from your mistakes and land butter? Nope, Ok, your hired!
@@HappyLandingsVegas The plane departed less than an hour later, and has been in service since. I can't think it would be possible, from a safety & legal standpoint to be airborne that soon if there had been a tail strike.
stick to microsoft flight sim. seriously ? where was the tail strike ? omg .. and there have been worse landings , it wasn't great, but youtube and all the armchair 737 pilots think this is bad. jeeeez @@iDigidude
It's hard to tell, but if not then it must have been very close. The plane left pretty soon afterward. A tail strike would probably have caused a delay for inspection.
@@HappyLandingsVegas I'm surprised it WASN'T sidelined for inspection. I've read for 737s it's necessary for landings >600fpm, and they basically landed at their full glideslope descent rate.
@@princekamoro3869 It's not a VS criteria, it's an impact G load that triggers the inspection. The DFDR captures the data, but the crew would have notified MX if there had been a tailstrike. The tailskid has a green painted indicator that is part of the postflight and preflight walkarounds. The ACARS also captures the touchdown pitch and compares it to the tailstrike pitch, so on the Post Flight Report the crew sends after they park they would have seen those numbers. Also, it the Captain had been using the HUD (it was VMC so that's not a given) the tailstrike pitch limit warning would have popped up. TBH, it's really much harder to tailstrike an 800 than it looks from this video. Basically, the impact G load to trigger a hard landing inspection (assuming they were at or below max landing weight) is so high that their VS would have easily exceeded stabilized approach criteria and they would have gone around before touchdown.
Hello, I'm from Brazil and I have a channel about aviation, and I wanted to ask if I can use your video in one of my next videos, can I use your video? I'll leave the full credits to you!
