Plane Can't Get Down 

Yeah, I thought it was a little much, too.

Yep. Looked stable as all get-out. Probably just a late power pull or a little hot on final.

Not all plane spotters know what they're actually filming I guess. Yea that was definitely just a simple go-around situation.

I agree, probably a gusty headwind or something but not really an unstable approach.

And what about the almost tail strike on the Blue Air 737 that never happened.

Although it’s not a home-built project. of course you mount it at home, but the thing is called FIB (flying inflatable boat) it was produced by a collab between Lomac and Polaris here in italy. it’s a prefab model, it’s not an improvised home-buildt thing. i think they are out of production nowadays. have a good day!

@@Adam88Marz Yep, I flew on one in 1993 in Indonesia - been around for years.

The plane floating means that the plane has enough speed to fly. The planes should stay around a certain speed during landing and the engines should keep the plane at that speed but if the set speed is way too high for the plane to lose lift than this will happen. Planes fly because of enough air going over the wings. A lot of air = flying. Barely any air= stalling. During landing you need a balance between the two. Enough speed to not stall but also not too much because the plane won’t lose lift.

​@@Cursory3 Props are made to run out of lift over the runway. Jets don't lose speed quickly enough for that to work (unless you approach dangerously slow I guess), and should instead be flown onto the runway (where the spoilers kill the lift). Reference: FAA's Airplane Flying Handbook, Chapter 16, Page 23

Yeah, all these plane spotters for nothing they’re “oh my gosh” “oh my god”!! Fucking annoying!!

It's better on somebody else's toilet.

We get it, you vape

I think its a start up of a new(overhauled) engine. The first start produces a lot of smoke due to lubricants/oil that is burning off. Have flown 767 for years and have seen this a few times when the mechanics has changed an engine

I was wondering if that is actually smoke, or vapor.

that isn't smoke. its steam. steam from the steamed hams we're having

I was on a Delta once and i can assure you that the smoke may contain some vapor, but it stink the oil burnt inside the plane for at least 30 mins... and it was really disgusting 🤢@@dogtor95

...and has been around for at least 30 years that I know of.

It's like the lovechild of a kite and a pair of waterwings.

Watch that first step of the plane.

Too safe.

@@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co…not after they overload it! 😂

Had you ever heard of Aerosucre before you watched them on this channel?

I don't...

That plane was at the hangar. There wouldn't be any passengers on board plus the air-conditioning packs would be off so it wouldn't stink the plane up. I worked 45 years in Minneapolis & had to taxi many planes to the gate in the morning. This was quite common.

Good to know, thanks @@billotto602

Still not as bad as firing up cold Rolls Royce L1011 engines: Those things could really smoke.

Yea the Air Canada and Eastern L1011 used to do that every morning after being parked over night they used to drip a bit of oil when parked as one Air Canada pilot said if I see the white smoke in the morning then I know the engine still works

Jet engines can run on diesel. It’s very very similar to kerosene.

The T-33 manual says if you can't get jet fuel that you can mix leaded avgas with a certain amount of oil and use that instead.

Not home built, they were massed produced for at least 30 years.

They have been around for literally decades.

And it wasn’t s turning it was counteracting wind 😅

Went to Cuba a decade ago and saw one giving rides to tourists Envied them for 3 days, then decided "screw it, I'm doing this" Waiting for my turn, it lifted off into a stiff headwind, hovered a bit, then turned with the wind and rocketed out of sight. Ground crew stuck around for 45-minutes before calling it a day. Didn't see it the rest of my vacation. Glad I wasn't on it.

I flew on one in Indonesia 30 years ago. They look like fun but ARE VERY NOISY when you are a passenger. DIDN'T AFFECT ME THOUGH!!

Except now you are deaf and shout in CAPITALS😂( is that the joke?)

@@iconicshrubbery PARDON??? (yes, correct!)

Which, btw, is made of magnesium. It puts o quite a light show when it scrapes the runway.

The frame must have been scary.

No worries! If the airplane runs out of fuel you will definitely land. Probably not a smooth airport landing though. ✈️

Imagine someone having to carry that fuel can all the way down and back up a sky ladder to top up

It's a good thing Newton invented gravity when he did.

The plane will keep flying--all the way to the crash site.

Guarantee that your biggest fear will not come true as long as the gravity doesn't change its direction from towards the earth to away from it.

Yeah I was gonna say this too..

It does kinda, but it's a reflection of the runway lighting?

Yes, and a "pickled" engine. Not excess oil, but lightweight oil is put into the fuel lines for storage, to prevent possible corrosion. When I was in the USAF, when we got a new troop on the flightline, we would put him as fireguard on those engine runs to mess with their heads. Of course, there'd be a qualified person there too.

I get my lessons from Captain Who Flung Dung.

That's an engine change maint. run. It's a "pickled" engine. Oil is put into the fuel lines after shop maintenance for "long term" storage.

It was his wife, actually.

Made by different manufacturer; the planes that call out "retard" are Airbus aircraft (but not all Airbus aircraft use this).

Some planes get personal with the insults.

What is the pilot supposed to do when he hears retard?@@TankEnMate

@@jjxtwo1 thank you for making me shoot coffee out my nose!

@@karenb8549 You're welcome? 🤔 I think? 😀😀

hang gliders are called a delta

They have been mass produced for decades, flew on one in 1993

@@poruatokin oh. The video said "home-built" so I had no idea they were mass produced. Thanks for clarifying! Now it looks fun.

Yep, flew on one in 1993.

Yeah, because you've never gone around before... get off your high horse.

@@TheLightningIIthe only time I’ve gone around, in the 777, is because of lost viz at the minima. At least I was at the minima and not hundreds of feet above it like these guys. Flying is easy. People make it difficult.

@@EdOeuna A real pilot would never call flying easy. You don't fly anything. And that's a good thing.

@@Foxxnioxx - flying is easy. The biggest problem is people making it difficult. You can spend a whole career without anything serious happening. A go-around is probably the most exciting thing to happen to a pilot.

Huh? You talking about the floating 777? Sheesh. One floater and you say he shouldn't have a license...

So are you.

Thanks for telling the world you have no clue wtf you're talking about.

For information if you're talking about the first one, it's a perfect professionnal reaction and this happens sometimes. Due to some unpredictible gusts or other factors, the plane can float a little bit too long. There is a zone on the runway where you can do the touchdown. It's not so long especially with heavy planes with high approach speeds. Beyond this zone, go around is mandatory to garantee that the airplane will not land beyond margins. The crew did exactly what had to be done and it's not a question of entering a wrong data in a computer or something like this. This was manual flying and this can happen to the best pilots. Even fully automated landings have limits especially in gusty conditions. Your comment can be taken as something judging and/or ignorant or even rude. What is more fundamental than landing is to know when to abort an approach, a landing, a takeoff or even a flight. This is the most important thing any one will learn in aviation to be able to get a licence especially in the professional world. Wanting to land despite the aircraft refuses it for any reason is the proof or poor skilled pilot with poor judgment and it's also a great killer. I can understand that people don't understand how aviation work and I'm happy to provide information when I can. A former private pilot. Friendly.
