Plane Stalls Over The Runway 

Not even close to a stall, tail strike or a hard landing. Very well controlled landing in challenging conditions.

it wasn't stalled at all.

Baloney,the landing was fine

A bouncey landing, but no evidence of an impending/saved tail strike.

The force that the front wheel suspension on the 777 can handle is amazing.

The aircraft is in ground effect, where stall speed is drastically reduced. This aircraft is nowhere near a stall. Other than a slight balloon which the pilot handled with skill there was nothing wrong with this landing.

That landing was perfectly fine for the weather

Tailstrike? Nah. Stall? Nope. Fairly standard crosswind landing in crappy weather? Yep.

You´ve been doing these videos for so long and you still haven´t learned that people don´t appreciate clickbaity titles ?

My dad flew an S-2 from a carrier. Retired at 25 years and went on to work at GE. We had a very strained relationship throughout as depicted in The Great Santini with Robert Duval. These videos are healing and give great insight about his life and challenges. At 52 I am starting to understand his courage and regiment. I can not say I regret the discipline, it has served me well in many instances. Flung from a ship in an airplane takes a lot of balls and my hat is off to all those that welcome the risk for the sake of our freedom!

In the Aircraft Carrier takeoff, I loved when the pilot was like “Oh yeah!”

When you take out all the intro, outro, clip intros & slow mo replay, this becomes 2 minutes of aviation

Perfectly normal landing given the conditions.

That moment when you tell 146K subscribers that "Plane Stalls Over The Runway" as if something is wrong. Hint: if the plane does not stall over the runway it carries on flying and does not land. If the plane stalls over the runway it stops flying and lands.

The Navy Hawkeye pilot seems to enjoy the sound of his own voice more than the flight itself! 😂😂😂

That catapult launch looked like a lot of fun haha the pilots reaction is golden. I bet it never gets old feeling those sleds launch you off the ship.

Bring back the old format…… that’s what made this channel

I think you meant a longitudinal acceleration of 4G - (i.e. in the direction of aircraft travel). A transverse acceleration would be side-to-side from one wing tip to the other.

the old format was so good

This 777 landing was just nice and nowhere near to stall or hard landing! Well done 👍

That was a nice crab/slip followed by a controlled float, and safe positive nose placement. No bounce, not a hard landing at all. Just a very nice piece of flying.

The first landing was completely normal. In windy conditions, the pilots touch down a little harder so that the wheels have some weight on them to counter crosswinds. That was a completely normal landing, no stall, no tail strike.

I was an Avionics Technician in the U.S. Navy and worked on several different aircraft models; the E-2C being one of them. This was in the late 1980's/early '90's. Her flight deck back then was pure analog. The modern day glass-cockpits definitely add a touch of class. These revisions can be seen in a few other older military aircraft models that are still active today.

Love the pilot's view of the launch from the aircraft carrier. More of that please.

What was wrong with the first landing? The tail didn’t seem any closer to the ground than usual and the pilot was ‘crabbing’ slightly against the cross wind. I don’t think a stall even came into it.

A stall? Do you know how a stall looks like?

With due respect to your comments Kuwait "almost stall" landing avoids tail strike unless your are a qualified airline transport pilot with plenty of heavy jet experience you would know you are not qualified to judge and you are way off on your assumption. PLEASE do not publish inaccurate information instead of drawing attention to your story for the purpose of You Tube sensationalism. You could not be further from the truth. BTW I still enjoy your channel.

Falcons take time for the nose to raise when heavily fueled. It’s actually in the manual that you may have to hold full aft yoke for a period of seconds to get the nose to do anything. I meant to add: you can see that these guys held the elevator up for a while, but if they were a little off on their speeds or didn’t give it the time it needed, or possibly didn’t brief or weren’t planning for this, it won’t work. You also have to know that it WILL work and not freak out and reject past V1.

Is it just me or have they pulled hundreds of videos off the playlist?

The first clip looks so eerie. Dude to the weather the plane looks like a massive creature trying to fight the winds.

No tailstrike. No stall. The pilot wanting to plant the plane firmly given the conditions? Yes. Good landing IMO.

Expert landing in poor weather/wind conditions. Perfect job .

1:10 - What a beauty! The acceleration is backwards, into the seat back. 2:10 - Also a beauty - I _love_ Dassault's tri-jets.

"Despite the hard landing, the aircraft is able to safely vacate the runway". Oh, thank God. I was so worried /s

Didn't stall, wouldn't have been a tail strike, and it certainly wasn't a hard landing. No need for an inspection, no incident report etc. RU-vid dramatization at it's best.

those rear landing gears are a beautiful piece of engineering

Nice catapult launch. Surprised the airspeed was already 51kts before launch, must have a good headwind, and be sailing into the wind quickly. A second or two later, 140kts. Not bad.

Actually a great landing in those conditions

In aviation parlance, the term "hard landing" is only used when a given vertical G load is reached (depending on the type), and something is broken on the airplane.

The 777 landing was really nice; the huge plane appears out of the mist flying really slow, then the pilots let the nose get a little high and they float, but they get the nose down quickly and the plane lands a little hard but safely. I didn't see a stall.

Every plane landing is technically “falling with style”

Nope, he didn't even use up 1/2 the hydraulic Strut travel, no stall...standard procedure in a challenging cross wind the buffet on the way in. Good landing over all.

Awesome Handling... at one point, only the left wing landing gear is down, as the right landing gear makes contact then bounces off the runway! Awesome!

I cannot think of any other part of the aircraft that endures more stress, vibration, and shear impact forces than the landing gear. to absorb that much force on landing is nothing short of a marvel of engineering.

There was no stall on Kuwait jet. Crosswinds and ground effect affect a/c attitude. A stall doesn’t lower nose, it lowers a wing. The stall affects the wing BPC the wing stalls. Nose attitude is NEVER lowered on final - ever.

The flare & landing were fine. Look at the vortices coming over the wing by the engines… airflow is fine! Not near a stall.

It always seems like a fast 3 minutes! Good videos :)

For the armchair pilots, at no point does a stall occur. A significant margin is applied to compensate for windspeed, especially on gusty days which can seriously affect airspeed. And given the horizontal attitude due to compensating for the crosswind, had a stall occurred it would have likely affected only one wing, the right wing, and the aircraft would have spun to the right, nose down. With regards to the aircraft attitude, if you watch the whole landing sequence carefully the actual pitch of the aircraft doesn't change at all, from the beginning of the flare to the point of touchdown. There's also a cross-wind component, you can see the aircraft is yawing in to wind (to the right) at the beginning of the video and again after the wing gets picked up by a gust at 0.32. This presents more of the fuselage to the camera, and that with the fact that the aircraft is moving towards the camera gives the appearance that the aircraft is in a high nose-up attitude when it isn't. When the nose comes down it happens at the same time as the right hand wing, due to pilot overcompensation as a result of the gust, which exacerbates the apparent movement of the aircraft nose. This is a standard cross-wind landing, in gusty conditions.

This is absolutely the best aviation themed channel if you love aviation misinformation.

Pilots: During a catapult launch, pilots experience a transverse acceleration force of up to 4Gs Formula One drivers: That’s cute

Love that cockpit view!

That's a fine, stabilized approach and landing.

Looked distinctly like that Falcon didn't have it's flaps deployed; would explain why it didn't rotate at Vr

Thanks for the your videos they're great! 👍🙂

My instructor was a lifetime carrier pilot. We did a full hour of touch & go practice and EVERY ONE of his t&gs were preceded by stall horns coming on before touchdown, and Every lift off was done with stall horns still full on! So, my stall horn anxieties faded away after that hour. Not every horn sounding means that a crash is imminent.

Great video...I appreciate the work you put into these! Thank you for posting!

Landing gear are the real heroes of aviation.

1:10 I love the crew interaction and Communication leading up the to launch. I also, liked the visuals of the deck crew choreography and catapult launch. To all of our aviators, please stay safe and thanks for your service.

That was more of a crosswind landing making it hard for the pilot to land. Respect for the pilot.

I was a passenger on a few C-1 and C-2 cat launches. Once I saw a Chief's hat get loose during a launch. It almost immediately struck the rear bulkhead with great force. Lesson: ALL loose items must be secure before launch. Recoveries were fun, too. Looking down from the rear facing passenger seats on landing approach you see the ocean getting closer. Then the ship's deck appears to jump up suddenly, the hook catches and a couple of seconds later it's all over.

Ryan Air: He shows potential, we just need to train him to land that way every time.

Can anyone tell me why this channel only has four videos now? There were plenty more before. 🛫🧑🏿‍✈️👨🏿‍✈️🛬

Stall margins on approach and landing are more than sufficient. B777 flare height is commenced at approximately 30ft by adjusting the pitch attitude by approximately 2 to 3 degrees. Hold sufficient back pressure on the control column to keep the pitch attitude constant. An excessive or extended flare can result in a tail strike and is second only to an unstable approach as main reasons for it occurring. The newer models of the B777 have tail strike protection built into the primary flight computers which will decrease elevator deflection. It works on both take off and landing. What we saw here was a dropped in firm landing. It can happen for a multitude of reasons and all involved will learn from it.

In the first clip, the aircraft didn't stall. Its most likely crosswinds or a vortex, its easily noticeable the aircraft is going fast enough to not stall

Should have had the landing along with the launch off the carrier, Ive done a few on an old S-3 landings at night were never fun

What happened to all the older videos? I was binge watching but now they are gone 🥺

Excellent videos! Thanks for posting

I love your videos :)

1st one is smooth, from some of the budget airlines I've seen..

The people on here saying that landing is normal clearly haven’t seen many landings before and also clearly have never been at the controls to know how close that was. Scary stuff

Falcon 900: "V1 - V1, V1... Captain! V... Oh sh*t, I forgot the control locks during the pre-flight! BRACE!"

I was on the Eisenhower for 2 deployments! That's awesome!

Cool 😎 video.

Nothing wrong with the first clip, looked like a good landing considering the conditions.

Another fabulous vid. Thanks

Love it ! thanks guys

I had heard the ATC on the Falcon runway overrun but wasn't aware video existed.

Where are the older videos?

I'm not sure you normally stall tail first? But the carrier takeoff looked like fun!

Wow!! Perfect landing!

Could the 777 perhaps encountered wind shear, or was that just an unstable approach?

That's how my amateur ass lands in X-Plane 11: throttle back until I drop out of the air over the runway. :-/

Holy shit that last one was gnarly! Too bad there wasn't a closer camera angle because that was pretty badass

Vortices over the wing show how much the airflow separates from the skin during high angles of attack. No wonder it stalled!

Where are all the old videos?

that was some pretty good "lets just get it down and not go around in this mess"

Between the extreme violence of the cat launch and the constant exposure to a salt atmosphere it is amazing that carrier aircraft last as long as they do.

WOW I WAS THERE also I’m from kuwait

You obviously know very little about airplanes this was a very skillfully done landing , trust me I’ve been doing it for 35 years

The 777 flared early, too much and floated. The bird did not skip leg day.

I’d say that first landing was great. The pilot nosed down just in time and may have been experiencing hard core wind 💨 just seconds prior.

1:11 OK, maybe one of the coolest clips I've ever seen...

0:34 me landing in ptfs be like

He didn’t stall he just floated and did an early flare

Awesome video!😸

What you see as a "stall" is likely autoland sub-optimal performance. Those conditions likely required the use of autoland technology.

Lets get a run down of the first landing from the armchair pilots in chat Too high Too low Too slow Too much flare Not enough flare Not enough throttle Should have gone around Should have landed earlier Below minimums Above maximums Almost a stall Almost a strike And it goes on... Luckily none of us will ever have to fly with these people. My take? Thanks for posting; carry on.

Pretty sure that first landing was okay if a bit rough due to weather. That last pilot in the corporate jet has issues, though.

I'm not a pilot but super impressed with that bad-weather landing. Looked a bit scary at first, for sure

Damn, that was a hard touch!
