Plane Takes Off Too Steeply 

The student's belly-landing in a light aircraft looked smoother than some I've experienced in wide-body jets with all wheels down!

That student pilot doing the belly landing has done something most pilots never do, makes a great entry in his log book too.

That belly landing really was text book, including the nose up for max aero-breaking just like a military jet! Well done!

Shoutout to the cameraman for showing us that Piper Navajo landing

That A350-900 take off is how I imagine I'm taking off every time I fly.

That student’s belly landing was really smooth! It sounded like a jet engine shutting down… Thanks for showing this to us!

The Student Pilot absolutely earned Their Wings on that Belly Landing! Cheers From The Clouds In Ohio To ALL Who Fly 3 minutes Of Aviation Airlines!🤣

That A330 actually stopped much quicker than I expected!

That belly landing was super slick.

Wow those thrust reversers in the A330 really put up a show!

It's not too steep if it's a trick at a airshow,it's too steep with 125 people in it going to Des Moines!!

I absolutely loved that first clip… the A350 is a BEAST

2:50 How someone manages to be THAT bad at following a plane with a camear is beyond me :D. Great landing though! Super smooth!

2:45 Student pilot even turned off the engines, unlike most.

I retired from the USAF @ Dover AFB (MAC), De. It was so impressive to see the huge C-5s coming in to land. They would seem to hang there in the air as they would approach over Rte 13. It was not uncommon to see vehicles parked along side the highway to watch them come in. The slow fly over reminded me of those days with the big C-5s.

Belly landing - Nice job! Even cut the engines and feather the props to minimise damage. The engines alone are $20 to $50K each. So turning them off before landing saves a lot of repair costs as they will now just need an inspection and not a tear down/repair. I'd pass that student pilot instantly for that brilliant job.

Years ago I worked at a warehouse right outside Pearson airport (YYZ, Toronto), directly underneath a landing approach, planes flew right overhead. They were probably higher up than I remember, but on foggy/rainy nights with the right conditions I’d see the wake turbulence quite clearly.

Congrats to the student👏Good job!

It didn’t take off too steeply. It just took off.

"Dear passengers, welcome to Amsterdam. You can now unfasten your seatbelt and detach your face carefully from the back of the seat in front of you."

Accurate title: “Plane Successfully Takes Off”

Absolutely beautiful belly landing. Any crash you can walk away from is a good landing, any crash the plain can fly again from is amazing. This is a paint job and some hydraulic repair...

The belly landing was absolutely right on. Very well done.

Student pilots do not fly twin engine aircraft. More likely, a Commercial Instrument rated pilot building multi-engine time. Good job on not having a prop strike!

Wow, that belly landing was smooth as butter

That student pilot barely scratched that plane, I'd fly with that pilot anytime

The wake turbulence demo was pretty cool to see!

Thrust reversers on a wet runway are always cool to watch.

Oh Come On! There is a difference between “Too Steeply” and “Incredibly steep”. Also, all flying is above stall speed, if the aircraft stalls it is not flying.

Just imagine waiting 15 mins+ to catch the belly landing and then screwing it up at the critical moment.

That student could fly for British Airways today, total and utter class!! British Airways needs you asap!!

Not only did the student nail the landing, they had the guts to shut down the engines to avoid engine damage. Well done.

That gear up landing was perfect!

Gear up _and_ deadstick, for a veteran pilot that's ice cold, for a student pilot I don't even know how to qualify it..

That belly landing was quite impressive. Pilot missed their calling flying experimental rocket planes, and landing on salt lakes.

It was an impressive short distance stop in the wet.

What is too steep about this aircraft's take-off?

I think the term "student" is unlikely to mean no experience. Nobody does their primary training in a Navajo. That said - perfect landing and stopped the engines prior to avoid and expensive teardown.

Oh that was probably the best episode ive seen. This had everything in it.

Nice content, as always. That flock of birds could have been disastrous.

I had that kind of steep take off experience once on a Ryanair flight. I sh..t my pants to be honest, it was like on a rocket to the moon :)

Feckin' burds again Also, that Navajo landing was poetry in motion. Feathered props, too!

Top news. plane does exactly what is it designed to do.

Great job on the Piper Navajo landing . I've seen one's where they leave the engine(s) running and really wreck the plane .

It was cool to see the slow pass in the beginning I don't get to see them goin that slow

That belly landing was better than my normal landings...

I just had an argument with one RU-vid user. He said to me if manuever was planned then “too” should not be used in the title. Just “steep Takeoff” Please explain it to me, English is not my first language

Amsterdam Schiphol airport: rain, of course

That was such a beautiful belly landing! Amazing! I imagine that plane will fly again!

Since it did not stall and crash I guess it wasn’t climbing too steeply.

Do I owe you back 12 seconds of aviation now?

Amsterdam, the only airport where the taxi to the runway is longer than the flight itself 😅😅

Too steeply for what?

That student can fly me anyday. Great job

That belly landing is very smooth

Is it “taking off to steep” if the pilot did it on purpose in an air show?

Stop lying in the video titles.

Perfect framing the one that recorded the A330 in its rapid braking. Truly Oscar worthy. 👍🏼Thank you!!💪🏼

That first clip with 350 taking off was a typical test flight; nothing shocking about it.

The A350 is just so cool❤

Amsterdam's shortest runway, the Oostbaan is only 2,000m long, last time I checked, it was only available to General Aviation aircraft and Narrow-bodies sometimes. The next "shortest", the Zwanenburgbaan is 3,300m long and that's just long enough for any aircraft flying today.

The Navaho Chieftain belly landing pilot was not a "student pilot." Furthermore, there's no evidence the pilot was earning his ME when the incident occurred.

Wow. Give that student a contract!

Love the channel, love the videos, hate the clickbait-y titles. Just sayin' 🤷🏼‍♂️

When the belly landing is better than the videography!

Good job recording the Piper 👍

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. In a great landing, they can use the plane again. I think, with a little bit of work, they'll be able to use that plane again, replace a few body panels on the underside and get some new props... so I think that qualifies as a great landing. 😄

I have video of Air France landing too early at JFK on runaway L 22 on the 2nd. It blew debris onto Rockaway Blvd. You can see it thru the fence line.

0:50 Nice thing about Grant County International - no such thing as a "short" runway (it used to be an Air Force base).

Great exam0le of the power of the reverse thrusters.

Airbus aircraft will prevent too steep a climb angle and stall, by putting the nose down. That Airbus angle of climb was evidently not steep enough to sound the stall warning, or trigger the computer guidance system to lower the nose. That short runway landing with maximum reverse thrust and full braking was not causing the "smoke" you saw. It was a wet runway, and the water spray generated by the tires and the reverse thrust, was what you saw. Some of the headline descriptions in this video are misleading. That belly landing was very well done. He held to the center line, and stayed in control the whole time. Quite a performance for a new pilot.

Where was the clip of the plane that took off “TOO STEEPLY”???

Loved the Shamrock on the Aer Lingus plane tip 😂

A+ on the final.

Respect the cameraman for actually filming the picture of a pilot landing and taking off.

Rumour has it that the student pilot already has a captains position at RyanAir.

That bird strike could have been so disastrous.

Lol i thought the taxiway was the runway for that belly landing. "Dude bring it down already!!"

First clip was really cool..... 😁👍

PLEASE stop with the unnecessarily dramatic (and INACCURATE) titles. You could have written something like, "A350 steep takeoff and low-speed passes at airshow [or during test flight, etc.]" and it would have been just as interesting and would have generated just as many clicks or more. Thumbs-up for the great content as always but thumbs-down for the click-baiting.

nice 330 Landing in EHAM...the runway is only 2020m and he came to stop at about half of it

Too steep ? You’re kidding right ? No pax no cargo ? 13 degrees max

I wish at these airshows, they would smoke the runway & show a wake turbulence of the big commercial airliners.

Planes are so cool. Thanks for your channel!

2:49 : Videographer (I’m using that term loosely): What happened, friend? You were doing good tracking the plane and then, at one of if not the most important parts, in my opinion, you slewed away. I was sad. I was irritated. I was disappointed. I was frustrated. Nah. Just kidding. It wasn’t that big of an emotional nightmare for me. lol Just irked me, cuz you were doing so well! But let me end on a THANK YOU for capturing it at all! It was 99% FANTASTIC! But you know how we Americans do. We can’t lead with the 99% right. We gotta complain about the one percent first. THEN, we’ll tell you thank you. If you’re lucky. lol This is one helluva comment in its own right, now. I’m leaving it like it is so I can laugh at myself about it later. Have a good one!

First one is me in GTA. I am always in such a hurry 😂

Of course the A-350 has no passengers no baggage at all and a little fuel to let the aircraft climb in a very incredible way

There was no need for that Delta to land in such a dangerous way 😡0:55

Safe to say it was not loaded with people or baggage.

That student pilot made an expert level landing WoW well done!!!!

I once did a belly landing. But I just kept flying while they brought the runway up 10' to me. It was pretty smooth.

Twin engined airplanes have 200% needed power so if one engine fails it can still continue!

Is the piper belly landing video the same one Airforceproud95 did??

Why didn’t the pilots of the aer Lingus a330 dump fuel do that they weren’t overweight?

Piper Navajo is not an entry level plane, suspect "student" already has license and some ratings to be flying something like this! He/she still did a great job but use of word "student" probably misleading.

So, not really "too steeply" then, since it didn't stall. Pbthh!

Dang! I have to pick up my stomach - it dropped when the plane came in to land.

What do you mean by Textbook belly landing? Is it something new ?

Just wondering why belly landing wasn’t done on the grass where there is less chance of creating spark and using the grass as a braking power?

Why is it an overweight landing if it's not overweight to take off?
