    I was on a Southwest flight and I swear, the pilot just dropped us out of the sky onto the runway, no easy 3-point landing, and not only did we almost fold up on ourselves when he engaged the brakes, we bounced a couple of times. A Delta stewardess sitting next to me that was deadheading said “must be a ex-navy pilot”. I thought of that when I saw this plane land.

      The landing was actually text book stable. It was not until the flair where a gust caused the left wing to deflect downward. Once the mains touched the spoilers deployed. Yes they could have elected to go around at that point but that would most likely have ended up causing a tail strike. In my opinion they made the correct decision on getting it on the ground. Good job, bad circumstances.

    • @dan_grey

    Pretty wild landing! Thank God they got that occillation stopped and held the nose off after the 1st bounce!
    I used to feel the wingtip vortices, even thought possibly some of what i thought were wing tip vortices were generated by the air out of the engines when they used to fly in right over the top of me at where i watched them landing near the Columbia river just east of pdx.
    Sometimes those vortices would start up really strange looking/acting tornadoes on top of the river even. They were that strong. And they really feel weird when they drop right down on you so you can feel them when youre in the path. I was aware of them because I sat next to the river just off a boke path, and if a jogger happened to run thru 1 without realizing what was going on, it could be a little confusing to them.
    Very strange effect to actually feel. Loved the reaction of Jerry! Just hopped over from the Blanco Lirio channel who did a video on this that really explanes it well. He's a FO on a 777.

    It all adds to the excitement of flying. I once landed at LHR in a BA Tristar from Paris in a stonking storm back in the 80's. We used the 3rd runway that crosses the airport because things were so bad - not sure if it's still regarded as a runway. The landing was much like that in this clip. The plane's hold was full of Beaujolais Nouveau so the pilots were under strict instruction not to crash the plane. Must admit quite a few of the passengers were shitting themselves on the approach.

    Considering all things, that was a successful landing. Despite what it may look like to non-pilot viewers, sometimes we have to "stick" the landing to bleed off the extra speed (energy) we need to carry for these types of landings. In heavy crosswind landings, extra speed is needed to counteract the negative impact of wind. It looks scary and out of control, however, every pilot is trained to perform these landings. In the event of a low fuel situation, you may have no choice but to land, even in a high crosswind. @hvrijsse is absolutely right! In 36 years, I've never heard a box or package screaming in the back! Earlier in my career @ Delta, that was a different story! Lol (Of course it could have been because I was brand new pilot)

    Looking at this several times now, the speed brakes had deployed on the second bounce making a go around impossible, they were committed to land, no choice. Pretty sure if they hadn't they would have gone around, split second timing with such events, the pilots did a fantastic job despite what others may say, they saved that plane.

      Ground spoilers will automatically retract on the 777 if you decide to abort the landing. General rule is if you've deployed the reversers, then you're committed to the landing.

      @@virginsim8024 correct.
      If thrust is increased speedbrakes will retract, but once reverse is selected, you don’t attempt to go around.
      However, at that stage TOGA mode is not available and you have to do a rejected landing, which is a slightly different procedure, but one which is regularly rehearsed.

      Every airline FOM I've seen says you're only committed after reverse thrust is deployed. Similarly, every jet I've ever flown has retractable speedbrakes upon go around activation.

    According to Flightradar, this AA134 did two procedure turns north of Heathrow on approach to EGLL before landing on runway 27 , so I'm wondering if fuel was running low, causing the pilot to proceed with the landing instead of breaking away for a go-around once they ran into windshear (or whatever caused the problem). Great newsworthy shot, Jerry.

      Very few long haul flights will carry enough fuel for 3 missed approaches and a diversion, unless extra fuel was carried for poor weather, anticipated holding etc. - often we won’t have enough fuel for even one missed approach before diverting, unless we “throw the alternate away” and commit to the destination airfield. There is a large fuel burn penalty for carrying extra fuel on a long haul.@@peterwilkins7013

      @gatmguru1 4 місяці тому +4

      Lucky is an understatement. NDI inspection at next letter check is going to find some issues given nose wheel landing. When the sink rate increased prior to touchdown it became an unstable approach and the correct procedure was to press the TOGA button. That is why engineers designed the button in the first place to make it easy to go around and try again.
