The Ten Best Cockpit View Landing Videos in 2023 

They were *crazy* short -- but I assume there's literally no go-around. Probably they were fully committed to land before they had visual contact. :P

@@CinemaDemocratica Yeah, I was thinking that was a displaced threshold and they shouldn't have been landing before the solid line but in a situation like that I'm not sure I'd want to go around. 😂

I'd rather listen to elevator music than that repetitive, incredibly annoying noise accompanying an otherwise excellent video.

Even in an elevator, this could not qualify as « music »…

Love the music. Perfect accompaniment.

I also hate this music, very loud and annoying, that’s why I give it a thumbs down. It might be alright if it wasn’t so loud, any music should always just play quietly in the background, I did here RU-vidrs often play loud music and sped up some videos to try and get around copyright infringement. Now I’ve written this comment, I’ll see if a can make it to the end.

he can't, because he stole the videos from their original posters, if he didnt speed them up and put music over it, he could get claimed

OMG that's hilarious!!! I didn't catch it my first viewing...and now it's stuck in my head:)

Don’t underestimate yourself. All you have to do is apply yourself. Retired captain, instructor, and check airman.

Back-timing each clip to time the touchdown with the musical bridge was some of the most fun I've had.

No, it's not!

My personal theory is wind shear at the threshold. The sea breeze would have made things pretty tricky in a full, equatorial sun. ;-)

Former airline pilot here. Retired for some time. 1) I still feel like landing at Kai Tek, the old HK airport was one of the funnest things you could do with a big airplane. (I flew fighters in the Navy). 2) Not being in the cockpit, really hard to figure out what happened in the hard landing, but am reminded of my 727 days.....NEVER chop the power on a 27 until the wheels are on the pavement!

@@CinemaDemocratica He was way too slow and chopped the whatever power he had, too early, when the plane was still a few feet up...the approach as a whole was very flat and slow...

Totally agree, chopped the power too early, definitely a hard landing inspection required

Thanks, Mom!

:D

The guy in the back with his arms crossed is my favorite. :D

Yeah, he looked over to the copoliot like you didn't see that.

I'm not familiar with either one -- will check them out!

This takes the «most confusing reply on RU-vid 2023 prize». Makes NO sense. And no, You’re not a pilot. You might honestly believe you are.

@@hepphepps8356 Transitional flight is landing. I have 360 hours at Ohio State University Flight School. My second comment was about the music in the video. You do know what music is ? Right. It does not make sense to you because you don't know your Bible. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GRAVITY !

When I was a little kid I flew unaccompanied between New York LaGuardia and Indianapolis. The first time I was terrified but the second time, before pushback, I was sitting there sawing away at full volume about how this is a 727 and last year it was a DC-9 and I know because of this, and this, and this .... All of a sudden I look up and here comes the lead flight attendant, looking right at me. She got me up from my seat and I honestly thought I was being thrown off the plane for talking too much. But instead she put me in the jump seat. She said, "Now you can sit there for the whole flight -- as long as you DON'T SAY A SINGLE WORD." And I will honestly never forget it. As such the 727 occupies a really weird place in my personal mythology. A Saint Bernard with overhead bins. And yes, landing was terrifying.

Nothing more useless than the runway behind you!

You just won the thread.

I for one will *not* miss Toncontin. :D

They were short through most of the landing but I think they're committed to land with no option for go-around before they even know they're going to be short.

Is that the one with the steep grassy hill, and the planes have to fly parallel to its slope on short final?
