@@mitcho04 That can’t be doing the landing gear or the tires any good 😅 I’d be cussing up a storm as a mechanic 🤣 That plane would be tied up for at least a week undergoing an NDI for the landing gear
The King Air wasn't a gear up landing. All 3 were down. I suspect that the left main had a failure in the cam overlock which caused it to collapse after touchdown.
Tonight I had my first experience with wind shear at landing. These type of videos were the only reason I didn’t freak out! We ended up having to be diverted for a bit. The pilot was great, and explained everything to us, which helped keep people aware of what was happening.
I'm still amazed how strong B747's wings that can carry more than 10 tonnes of GenX engines on each side, but yet still flexible enough to withstand the turbulence...
Why aren't commercial planes engineered to be able to crab like the C5A?. From my layman's understanding wouldn't this enable planes to extend their crosswind limit?
The report of the TWR about the windshear was "windshear alert 26kt loss 1 mile final" If that 787-9 experimented something simliar to a windshear, the flight crew would have already gone around. But, instead, they approached until flare, where was a miscontrol of the aircraft (it is possible to see the elevator going down) after encountering low level turbulence. THAT was the reason for the going around. One more frequent misconception about windshear being spread at this channel... (Now Mr. Ted Striker will disagree )
Not according to Kelsey / 74 Gear. Also I believe I read 747s in particular take wind (badly) more than a lot of other big jets, can't remember where I read / saw it, but it definitely wasn't Tiktok! Lol.
Depends what you mean ... it's easier for an airliner to land in 25 knot crosswinds than for a c172 to do the same, in fact, the 172 isn't rated for that much.
Cross winds are pretty easy to cope with, especially when they’re constant like in this video. The biggest problem is the size of the aircraft. For the 777, the ILS antenna are in the nose, so the nose of the aircraft, and flight deck, will line up perfectly down the runway. The problem is that the main gear will then be off the side of the runway, because of the cross wind. The pilot needs to be manually flying and adjust such that the flight deck is about 2/3’s across the runway meaning the main gear touches down on the centreline. Also, for the 777, auto-pilot starts to side slip from 500ft AGL, so the pilots need to be hand flying before that in order to prevent the side slip and to hand fly the aircraft slightly upwind of the centreline, as I’ve discussed. Now if the wind is gusty, then this complicates things because the aircraft will be constantly buffeted, making alignment more difficult. Except for landing technique and adding a few knots to Vref for the wind, there isn’t anything else different to a normal landing.
@@EdOeuna u really don’t have to worry about that much. Once u press the rudder to get rid of the crab, it moves the tail to the centerline. I don’t understand the side slip comment at 500 feet. Why would the pilot have to hand fly before that happens? So u can’t fly an ILS down to minimums on auto pilot?
While I do love your channel, technically the first plane did not land but initiated a go around which was the right thing to do. Saying the landing goes wrong would imply the plane landed and encountered a problem. "Wind shear during landing attempt" would be more fitting.
Rein in the clickbait like titles please. They hit windsheer, they pulled out of it, they did a go around. All standard stuff. As for the St. Bart’s landing. That’s just everyday run of the mill with a very steep final. Nothing out of the ordinary for those guys. Pilates PC12 has good short field performance so no dramas.
Windshear landing goes wrong? 3 minutes of aviation.... has not a clue about flying, again. This ANA 787 crew did a very good job and went around at the last possible moment. Good job, Captain.
Well that 787 go around was text book. Saw nothing that went wrong. Normally when something goes wrong in aviation, there is a fireball to attest to it. Landings are an acceptable outcome of an approach but pilots always plan that they will go around.
No you don’t owe us any more……that was a great video. The 747 must have pooped in pants. This is my first video of the day and I doubt I’ll see anymore that good🛩️🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️🛫🛬
As soon as I read PC-12 and “incredibly close over terrain” I knew it was St. Barth lol. Being there watching them land on 10 is always exhilarating. This, however, was an exceptionally low approach! Someone very dear to me stood near the wooden fence while I filmed a TBM making the same approach over her head… had it been this day and this PC-12 she could have easily been hit by the gear or worse. That makes me shiver. Next time we’re on the island I think we’ll watch from the far side of the roundabout.
If they heard there was a 'windshear alert' with a 26-knot loss on short final and they still continued the approach, then they are foolish for taking that risk.
I love how much you can see in the 747 landing. Between the great stability and alignment, the curtain of water kicked up by reverse thrust, and even a little bounce at the tip of the wing that seems like it'll never stop… just perfect!
Everytime a pilot succeeds at an emergency manoeuvre and the plane itself handles all the forces involved safely, is a testament to the engineering of these airplanes.
It collapsed on takeoff. We saw no touchdown. The airplane was on takeoff roll when this happened. You can hear the power get pulled to ide to abort after it happens. This channel never knows what it is talking about.
@@gort8203 And the airport fire appliances just happened to be sitting there with lights on just in case this happened? But you're right someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Taken from The Aviation Safety Network:- A Lyddair Beech 200 King Air sustained a left main landing gear collapse upon landing at Exeter airport. The aircraft departed from Lydd Airport at 09:50 hours and headed for Alderney, Channel Islands. The approach to Alderney was abandoned at 10:34 and the aircraft diverted to Exeter due to having an unsafe left main landing gear indication when it was lowered during approach to Alderney, the original destination. After a flypast of Exeter tower, observers confirmed the gear was down, so the pilot continued to land. During the landing roll the left main landing gear collapsed. It was likely that the left main landing gear down-lock system had lost adjustment. This resulted in the drag brace folding and loading the landing gear actuator, causing it to buckle.
Just the enormous size of the 747 jumbos makes the windshear crosswinds easy to maintain level flight. The 777's on down we can see them wobbling side to side up and down😊
