frankfurt 135 m above sea level apprx 400 ft the altitude meter helps a lot to understand whats happening and why. the plane held altitude at 1190 m and it was good to see how gradually it lost speed almost idling. Then again its speed increased as it started descending
lol sure it is. You can clearly see the plane does 600kmh on gps while barely overtaking cars on the highway. Makes no fucking sense whatsoever. NO WAY ITS GOING 230 ON LANDING.
Although I prefer Boeing, I think this footage is really awesome! Love the engine haha! Awesome to see the touch down speed... Would like to see takeoff speed of a 747 haha! And... Which app do you use? Must...have...app...
This 'Cognitiva Dissonantia' fool on the 'cowboy cowboy' thread in the comment sections doesn't believe a jet that cruises at 0.8 times the speed of sound lands at 230 km/h.Incredible. Just because something looks slow because you see more of the scenery and are further away from the surface than in your car doesn't mean it actually is.If we would be able to see the Earth's surface whizz past on a plane we would fly Los Angeles-Sydney in 10 minutes.Basic physics guys.
Actually it's not even physics; it's _geometry_ . Something at a very large distance will appear small, based on the laws of perspective. Likewise, something traveling fast at a great distance will appear slow: in particular, since speed is given by distance per time, and the apparent distance is shrunken, that shrinks the numerator and so the apparent speed is also shrunken.
Interesting... the deceleration on touchdown from 230 (kms/h?) to a slow taxiing speed in only a few seconds. WOW ! One question I have for the 'savvies' The airbrake or spoilers are set mid-flight and come on automatically and the flap angle increased as the aircraft slows down for langind and flaps also act as air brakes Then on touch down the spoilers are automatically deployed when the weight of the aircraft puts pressure the landing gears Also on touch down, the pilots activate the reverse thrust manually.... but two questions here... (1) do the pilots use the foot brake at all and is so (2) at what speed ? I suspect they use it at bellow 50 kts ? I believe they will not use the footbrake on touch down doing 170 knots (315 km/h, + or - 200 miles per hour). I would love to know that. (please no guesses. Fact please. Thank you)
What you said is correct. The actual speed on touchdown is about 130 knt. There are 3 ways to stop an aircraft: spoilers, reversers and the disc brakes on main gear. These last ones are activated automatically. At cockpit before landing and according to some variables, they are set to different braking power (soft, intermediate or hard braking). Then brakes are used manually on taxi operation.
this camera has fish eye lens which curves the earth, earth is round, but this is totally wrong perspective, you need to be way higher to see that type of curve
I have the PRO version and I tried it yesterday on my flight but it didnot work just with GPS. My flight didnot have onboard wifi and the gps would get disconnected over and over again giving the error "waiting for gps coordinates". My device was a Samsung Note 9 with GPS on HIGH accuracy. As soon as we descended below 5000 ft it started working but didnot work for the entire flight above that altitude
Your video is so good, the picture so perfect that when I enlarged (maximized) the image I felt uncomfortable.... I hate heights ! I never want to sit by the window.
You canot get the correct Altitude reading in auto controled cabin pressure. it need outside atmospheric pressure to get exact correct altitude reading
The altitude in this case in calculated using GPS technique, triangulating with the signal of GPS satellites against a precise time base, not using atmospheric pressure
