HARD LANDING - JetBlue A321 Clear Skies Landing Las Vegas, NV 

Is McCarran airport in las vegas small? Please let me know.

@@thomasmurphy3021 Depends on what you define as 'big'. It has 92 gates across 2 terminals (T1 and T3) and 5 concourses (A, B, C, D, E). A, B, C are connected through T1. D uses T1 and T3, while E is used by mostly international flights through T3. Some direct international destinations include Mexico, Canada, the UK (BA and Virgin Atlantic have daily flights- Thomas Cook had a couple flights per week), France, Holland, Germany, Israel, South Korea, and Switzerland. There are even direct flights to Beijing. The final numbers for 2019 are not in just yet (as of Jan 4, 2020), but they announced it was over 50 million passengers. It does have the capability of accepting an A380, but as far as I know the A380 wasn't flown into LAS.

you got some good ears, damn

adamd664 , reverse thrust.

The reverse thrust

Be willing to be it was auto-land. Notice how smooth the approach is, not much rolling, and no throttle up or down.

tomhmartin Naw it was manual. You can here the autopilot disconnect. AutoLand does pretty smooth landings

@@OortCloud Yep, replayed it and heard it! I don't like the term "hard landing" because a true hard landing damages the aircraft...it's a "FIRM" landing. :)

Has nothing to do with a hard landing. There could have been many probable variables involved, such as an unexpected thermal or windshear - or it could have been as simple as the pilot flying not paying attention to their VSI indicator which assists them in aiming for an optimal touchdown rate (among the other things it it used for). Most hard landings on nice days are attributed to pilots not paying attention to their VSI indicators; not the state of the weather.

NY Guy no Ryanair 😂😂

You mean Ryanair

yeah, you mean Ryanair. Southwest landings are smooth as butter

Southwest landings are pretty darn good into LAS as well as PHX... they land at LAS all the time.

FlyboythaACE Not sure if I can agree with that, having seen a Cessna 152 leave a grass strip into a stand of pine trees doing 40knots. Pilot walked away, but certainly not a good landing in my book!

Guess the runway was short?

@@flapsnslats years ago my flight instructor and I watched a student pilot takeoff then retract his flaps immediately afterwards. The cessna 150 went level clearing the trees by MILLIMETERS!

Yes, you did hear the AP disconnect at 2:34! Good catch! Thanks for watching and commenting :)

Airbus makes it kinda loud so pilots HAVE to hear it

Roberto Negron Nice catch

muy malo, F.O training

Davis herpafleslandmaltaairport they are built to handle massive and i mean massive amount of stress well the back wheels are the front wheel isn’t as strong but yea chances of them breaking are low.

Wowwww
