Plane Lands Too Fast 

I wonder why do flaps fail often compared to all the other effectors of the wings, which if they'd fail would be catastrophic. Oh wait I think I found the answer

As pilots we are trained to conduct flapless landings from very early on in our training. Providing the runway is long enough for such a procedure (which all major airports would likely be), it is not an unsafe procedure at all. Some smaller aircraft that I have flown use the same approach speed both when using flap and not, we just alter the aircraft attitude and power on final to accomodate.

I wonder if your flaps were dirty

Flapless in Seattle......ok.

Your woman is average in your avatar bro.

I flew in an early 737 and the landing at LA international was like hitting a wall. I'm not sure how it stopped so fast without breaking something but I was assured by the people who took me out of the overhead luggage compartments that was normal on dry pavement. I thought the airplane stood on its nose. And the bastards lost my luggage..

@@darrellcook8253 What's going on is that airliners hardly ever use maximum braking on dry pavement, so when they do it really gets one's attention. On an accelerate/stop flight test run of a certification aircraft at the airplane factory, I was *standing* behind the captain so that I could see add-on brake pressure gauges which had been taped to the top of the instument panel. This was a stop using 2000 psi of the 3000 psi brake pressure available (same as the max pressure in your 737 BTW), and even back in my 0% body fat/40 pushup days it was all I could do to stay out of his lap as I held tight to a bar of the instument rack behind me. Airliners can stop a lot faster than people realize from their everyday flying experience. But day in and day out, no reason to alarm the passengers + wear down the the brake pads and tire tread faster.

Possibly Navy up front.

planes have a "point of no return" speed, anything right up to that, and the brakes are rated for a return to 0. to my understanding, that plane won't go up again until its brakes have been changed out, but they can abort one takeoff.

​@@marcmcreynolds2827 Like you said, there's rarely need for maximum braking. It's usually only landings that are way too fast, on particularly short runways, in wet conditions. Never really any need for more than 50% in a normal landing scenario

Oh and don’t forget the relatively SMOOTH landing, as well

And still managed to do butter landing. MAD RESPECT

Thank you guys. Flap issues are something we train regularly in Simulators.

@@IIISentorIII I've always wondered if you sometimes practice a random problem in the simulator? Something that you can't mentally prepare for before you step into the simulator.

@@afrinshaikh2339butter landing …something nobody in aviation says

Fast landings are often easier to butter than slow ones...Angle of attack is high already, so hardly any flare necessary compared to a slow one.

@@EwigesEis Didn't know that, thank you.

@@EwigesEis its harder as you need to arrest that descent rate while limited pitch because of the speed (tailstrike threat), flaring little will be detrimental to a smooth landing. It's just smooth because it's an a340 which is sometimes called the butter machine as its really easy to butter any landing

@@EwigesEisnot true …. generally the faster you’re going the lower the angle of attack …

@@Amari._. Its also the reason behind the "Ryanair landings are hard" meme. As Ryanair is a low cost airline, they usually fly to secondary airports (cheaper). Those secondary airports have a shorter runway, which means the aircraft as to approach with a lower speed, so, steeper approach.

Those are GP7000 but okay

@@mrk5579 HAHAHAHAHAHA

That clip gave me so much anxiety

@@dreeemer it should ease your anxiety about flying because of the experience and wise judgement of these pilots. better to spend an extra 15 min go around or w/e then to try to stick it or crash it.

its a video game not real

too accurate

amazing that nobody saw that, like you can make it out by the beluga in the background. this channel is losing credibility

@@lgw9331 How long have you been watching this channel? Honest question, I think I remember a lot more misinformation around a year to 8 months ago. Am I mistaken?

Didn’t think that was a pilot deciding to go with a missed approach. He was nowhere near the DA/MA if still on an IFR approach. Besides, is it still considered a go around if your wheels touch? I think not

@@lgw9331 It doesn`t really matter, just enjoy the clips

Its an UAE registration A6…

Which is impressive, but also stupid, as you should go for an hard landing when you are too fast (Hard landing means you touch ground faster, and thus have more time to break)

No need if the runway is long enough@@no_name4796

@@no_name4796ah, the youtube comments experts.

@@lennylennington it's just common sense: if you have very few space, you shouldn't really care about doing it smoothly. Just put the damn thing down lol. I don't think i said something innovative or crazy lol

@@no_name4796 thanks for you expertise, armchair pilot.

There’s a RAAS call out where it isn’t an option anymore. “Long landing” you go around.

It's at Airbus facility in Hamburg-Finkenwerder with a French registration. Probably just a Touch & Go for test purposes.

This is a fake from flight Simulator.

Darn bird didn't want to settle down on the ground, I don't blame him.

@@mallejunior1996 my thoughts exactly mate

Bradley Cooper is a talentless hack.

I used to think that gambling would be better but I guess now I know why wasting petrol is a better option.

Actually the emirates landing was on purpose. The airport where it was, was the Airbus factory airport in Hamburg Germany and this was a test flight

Mine too. I guess it's because they don't have Logitech joysticks :)

Yep I was on the same flight!!

@@yungsnowie3232 you both were on the same flight?

@@yungsnowie3232 that's amazing if you were on the same flight, I doubt it though, it's probably just happened several times.

in this particular landing there was not much cross wind, note 1:33 it shows wind funnel, this landing was typical 1980,s Italian pilot training stuff- take as much risk as possible before you finish your shift!

Sometimes it was also "landing next to Kai Tak" tho. 😂

Nice one! Somebody else THOUGHT that might have been the case but you positively identified the factory/proving ground which makes it almost a certainty it was a touch & go🙂

He’s going around

How fast was that? 200kt? I'm not an expert

@@danielwalker6653 Prob close. 160 knots (?) or so. Impossible to accurately guess without knowing his weight, field elevation, OAT, status of the rest of the hydraulics, etc, etc. He had one notch of slats, which helped a little. The plane and brakes are fine. It was designed to handle that.

@@lbowsk I found a Sim checklist that says Max wheel speed is 204Kts! Looks like around 140kts is nominal. So yeah, he was movin'

Normally I guess so but on this occasion surely the fact the runway was streaming wet would have served the same purpose and helped significantly in keeping the brakes cool?

Oh yea. I thought the same regarding the brakes. The halo around the airplane shadow pilot's call, "the glory". I've seen that on a single engine airplane I was piloting once. Thanks for putting these videos together.

I once flew into and out of Kai Tak on a Cathay L1011 500 Tristar. Wonderful memories.

I want to experience this? lol

Happened to me last summer on a flight from JFK to LAX. Teenage girl next to me almost had a panic attack, thinking the plane was about to crash or something haha

@@juanj.arroyo870the teenage girl is just like me XD I always have a heart attack every time the plane moves up and down

*Parallel, not perpendicular.

@@dr.jamesolack8504 If parallel it would not be a crosswind.

I believe that the cottage is from a ’Just Planes’ video.

Even if you're already on a taxiway!

Every day is a school day !! 👍💯 I’m an airline pilot and I only learned this today …. 😱

Wondered what that was. Often saw it around the shadow of my autogyro on approach with the sun behind.

Actually, the rainbow is called a 'glory'. Brocken spectre refers to the observer's distorted shadow.

Or a Brocken Spectre.

plural of aircraft is still aircraft, not aircrafts.

@@arturoeugster7228 Thanks I didn't know 😁

I don't think they do commercial training in actual aircraft considering how much it would cost

OliverBrock certainly seems to think that!

It's a test flight. The plane's still wearing its French test registration, and the footage was shot at Hamburg Finkenwerder, which is where A380s were painted and completed.

clearly force fields, must have been an important VIP on the flight.

Me too - it's called the "Brocken Bow", the "Glory", or the "Pilot's Bow".

"A Halo Effect?" A shadow.

@@bruceholmberg4927 The shadow, if you look, is in the centre of the halo or bow.

I feel cheated

@yutyuiiu 2 and 7/10 minutes, actually….

I’m glad you’re just trying to up the algorithm with your comment.

And because it was a test flight

And it s real

It was a TestFlight at XFW

I'm pretty sure that it was a test flight at Airbus Hamburg-Finkenwerder airport, before the plane was delivered.

@@jamesjjt Ah ok. The A 380 is such an impressive machine. I really hope I'll be able to fly with it one day.

@@EbonyPope Make it happen soon. In 15 years if you want to ride a four jet engine plane you'll have to jump on a freighter.

@@danielwalker6653 You are correct. They are already mothballing the first 380's and going with 777-x and 787's along with the new model 350 from AB.

Long landing. They floated forever.

It was a test flight, others have mentioned ti.
