I saw nothing wrong with the landing -- they carry a heavy crab angle in a 40 knot crosswind (about their maximum crosswind component). When the wheels touch, the aircraft will lurch forward in the direction of the plane is pointed at which time the pilot kicks in rudder to bring the nose around to center line. That's what was done here. Considering the crosswind, I think they did good!
Absolutely. It is a near perfect landing with the touchdown point, well chosen to leave the aircraft bang on the centreline after the aircraft pulls straight
They didn’t do good , they did perfect. The crew is very skilled and yet they were humble enough to dismiss the 1st approach. I would definitely set my own kids in an airplane with pilots like these
I never flew the 777, I flew other Boeing products and I know Boeing says it’s ok to land with a side loading, but don’t you try and kick the nose around a bit before touchdown? I never land in a crab like that.
777s nose wheel touched down directly on center line. Perfect execution of a gusty, crosswind landing. Barely any side loading there either. He kicked it over at the exact time👌
This triple 7 landed with both bogies completely right of the centre line. With a crosswind from the left, they aimed on the downwind side. Not a safe side to aim for when you know the runway is 45 meters wide and the main wheel base is only 11 meters. With the main gear hanging about 40 meters behind the cockpit, the pilot probably "went visual" just before touchdown and lined up his seat with the centre line and not his landing gear. With these winds it may look all wrong, as you aim for "sitting with your ass over the grass" before you kick it straight while rolling the wings slightly into the wind as you flare before touchdown. Probably this pilot hasn't flown in gusty crosswinds much.....
I'll never forget the surprise crowd buzz when I saw the Thunderbirds for the first time. It was SO loud. Just an explosion that shook my entire body. So cool!!!!
That landing was the least clickbaity thing this channel has posted in a while. My uncle is a 777 pilot and I showed him this and he was shocked that they did the second landing and said it had to have been more than their second attempt if that was the landing they committed to.
The 777 cross-wind landing was bang on. The off-centre crab landing allowed time for PIC to kick in the rudder and get the plane on the centerline once it was stabilised on the runway.
*That A350 landing: how on Earth did a passenger get permission to go into the cargo hold to film the landing like that? Very dangerous! He could have fallen out of the wheel-hole.* And the A321 landing in the Canary Islands: very smooth, and impressive given the catastrophic instrument failure in the cockpit. A loose wire no doubt. I'd have given the dashboard a good thump with my fist - that usually works.
I'm not a pilot and I'm in no way pretending to know anything more than what I've seen on mentour pilot and 74gear, but I thought, and again, I may be wrong, but u thought they were supposed to keep the main gear on the centerline?
@@Robbie1075 - yes, Boeing and Emirates guidance is to land in the centreline, with the main gear. This means putting the nose halfway or more off the centreline, upwind.
Armchair here. the rear "bogies" touched first, 0:43, and then the front wheels. The pilot did kick the nose over to the right but the rear bogies were both at an angle. So yes, pretty video.
That was pretty much a perfect landing in a 40kt crosswind. The aircraft was crabbed into the wind until touchdown, when the captain swung the nose round to align the aircraft perfectly on centreline.
@@EdOeuna wrong, Cpt gave the aircraft somewhere to go. It's not a small prop, yaw rate is slow and it obviously travelled to the CL by the time it had all gear down.
@@stevehorsley4859 - both the Boeing and EK technique is to position the aircraft upwind of the centreline such that the main gear straddles the centreline. The flight deck will be off the centreline. At about 10ft the pilot should apply rudder to initiate a swing of the nose to keep the aircraft on the centreline. Boeing and, therefore, Emirates SOP.
@@stevehorsley4859 - I can be in the minority and still correct. Everything about this landing is wrong and if you can’t see that then I’m guessing you’re not a pilot.
The first landing wasn’t ‘Nearly missed’ that’s perfectly alligned for a crosswind landing. If they land on the centre line as the wheels hit the tarmac the aircraft will snake.
That first landing was excellent. He didn't even come close to "almost missing the runway." The port side wheels were on the center line and the front wheels moved there soon enough.
The clip’s title screenshot was modified to make this landing look much more dramatic than it actually was. You can screen shot the video and compare. Even RW markings were altered!
Sorry, but it seems, that you have no clue, the first plane has to land this "near" to the runway edge, because the wheels will push the plane away from the edge as soon as they touch the ground. If the pilot had tried to land in the middle, this effect could have pushed the plane off the runway the other side.
The pilot did exactly what a serious crosswind from the left would dictate. He touched down on the down wind side of the runway in anticipation of the plane tracking slightly upwjnd/ left on touchdown. This would put him right on centerline. Just what happened to his plane after touchdown. Now if he drops his right wing on touch down or prior to touchdown, then he is possibly screwed.
Huh, yeh, the thumbnail is edited. I like the videos this channel makes but I wish they wouldn't rely on exaggerated titles and editing thumbnails is really disappointing.
Absolutely right. Please don't comment on civil aviation clips without understanding what you're talking about. It can only serve to frighten would-be passengers. This looked to me like a text book and completely safe landing.
Ideally after the landing (or even better immediately before) you stop seeing the centreline as a passenger. If you’ve landed and still see the center line I’m going into the kiss my ass position.
Love all the armchair pilot’s comments. I’ve been flying heavies (77 and 747) for over 30 hrs and am still perfectly capable of a ‘less than perfect’ crosswind landing! Initially this aircraft was correctly lined up with main gear on centreline, at around 100’ a gust scoots him a little downwind, he continues but elects (correctly, in my opinion) not to ‘de-crab’ in the flare, which would have put him downwind of the CL. (Remember that the jet will pivot roughly around its main gear in yaw) Ideally crab should only be left on on a slippery runway, but it is acceptable practise in the Boeing manual - one of the three approved techniques. Landing in the crab on a non-contaminated runway causes (as seen) the aircraft to scoot upwind, requiring timely intervention - again as seen in the video. From 50ft on I would call this a very good crosswind landing - my only question would be why he didn’t chuck it away a second time when the gust shifted his alignment. However none of us know what was going on in the cockpit (fuel state etc) so it would be unfair to make a comment on his decision to continue.
For all those saying that the Emirates cross wind landing was best ever. It wasn’t. It was absolutely dreadful. The main gear needs to straddle the centreline, not both be downwind of the centreline, especially at a small runway like Newcastle. Emirates and Boeing are very particular about crosswind landing, and this just isn’t it. Not by a mile. And Newcastle is a “Captains only” airport too, so that’s the skipper landing not some green FO.
So do all glass cockpits similar to the A321 at 1:30 refresh all displays at once and linger on the selected screen long enough to trick our eyes into viewing that particular display?
The flickering effect is picked up by the camera and can vary according to the characteristics of each individual camera. The human eye doesn't 'see' images in the same way that a camera's image sensor does.
First landing was outstanding. 40 kt CW is serious business. Second one was filmed be a passenger in the wheel well or strapped to the belly of the airplane?
@1:16 - Wife texts pilot “honey I need you to do the repairs on the roof and the gutters need to be cleaned oh and my mom is coming over for dinner…” PILOT “FUCK!”
Love this channel. I thought the Emirates pilot got it right, he landed somewhat off-centre to allow for the swerve when the wheels grip the ground, he ends up exactly on the centreline.
It’s a shame that Emirates don’t train their pilots to land like that, and Boeing technique isn’t this either. It’s a dreadful landing, and worse because it was filmed.

I'm no pilot or aviation expert but that looked pretty skillful to me given the stormy conditions!
Excellent landing. Excellent explanation.
Yea I had the same reaction, well done landing
One of the best cross wind landings I’ve seen. Where did they almost “go off the runway”?
🤷♂ikr
Looked like he greased it, but I'm no pilot.
Yeah, same here
'Normal-ish crab landing' is not nearly as attention getting, so... *shrugs*
Yeah I know, the nose gear got on the centre line and didn’t leave it.
1:10 I was like "How the heck did a passenger capture this?!" then I remembered there's screens on the headrests in front of them. 😂
Glad i m not the only dummy
Thanks. I was beginning to wonder if super economy class got you the ball turret gunner's seat.
😂 I had the same thought initially…that’s the “stowaway passenger” riding on the landing gear…
Thank you. I had the same question.
Perhaps he was a stowaway?
1st landing. Just a little off center but otherwise great landing considering the conditions. And I'm a 777 driver for the last 22 years.
Sounded like a gust was picking up just as they were coming down the last 30 feet or so.
I never flew the 777, I flew other Boeing products and I know Boeing says it’s ok to land with a side loading, but don’t you try and kick the nose around a bit before touchdown? I never land in a crab like that.
Atta boy!
The main gear was downwind of the centreline. That’s a dreadful crosswind landing.
@@EdOeuna I agree. I didn’t wanna open a can of worms. 🤣🤣

stop clickbaiting. the landing was superb under these conditions
Superbly close to hitting the grass.
Under these conditions go to your alternate.

I agree, it was not as dangerous as the title implies…considering the weather.
Right? The nose gear was right on the center line even with the crabbing it was doing.

Love these snippets of aviation. Well done!
Man that's a short runway. But, look how wide it is !
I love this joke. As a french guy, we say pilots are from Belgium
@@Boss_TanakaLOL. Poor Belgiums. Cuz as a Dutch guy, we also say the pilots are from, Belgium. 😂
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 😅😂🤣
They buttered that crosswind.
I not only enjoy the videos on Three Minutes of Aviation, but it is very interesting to read the comments from other pilots.
nosewheel is what needs to be on center line, and this guy nailed it
Wrong. It’s the main gear that needs to straddle the centreline. That’s a dreadful cross wind landing.
Yeah no. You're not a transport pilot are ya?
Looked like a very professional landing in tough conditions.
I would be proud of that landing in those conditions. Credit, not sensational title should be given, the pilot deserves that....
*That A350 landing: how on Earth did a passenger get permission to go into the cargo hold to film the landing like that? Very dangerous! He could have fallen out of the wheel-hole.*

You will never make it as a comedian. 😂
I’m disappointed there aren’t people in here correcting you. 😂
@@MeppyMan dunno why you'd say that. It's definitely an A350 :)
To be fair that first landing looked excellent, the cockpit/nose wheel was on centre almost the entire way down!
Both the main gears were downwind of the centreline. That’s a terrible technique. EK train their pilots better than this.

Thanks for the F-16 shot! I saw the first F-16 Thunderbird, when it flew into LAFB for Gen. Creech's approval.
Omg that last clip, we all wish we were there lol!
That was pretty much a perfect landing in a 40kt crosswind. The aircraft was crabbed into the wind until touchdown, when the captain swung the nose round to align the aircraft perfectly on centreline.
looked like a pretty damn good landing to me👍

That was a beautiful crab landing. They knew what they where doing!
Dreadful landing. Tea and biscuits with the chief pilot when they get back.
That British Airway crosswind landing was beautiful.
*EMIRATES*
0:41 is amazing for planespotters eyes.
That was a great landing!
Love those sneak passes!
"Almost misses?" Stupid commment. The error the crew made was aligning the cockpit with the center of the runway, not the center of the airplane.
0:37 The plane landing was less than perfect but still grateful because no incident occurred
That was a perfect landing in severe crosswinds.
Perfect Cross wind landing
The first landing wasn’t ‘Nearly missed’ that’s perfectly alligned for a crosswind landing. If they land on the centre line as the wheels hit the tarmac the aircraft will snake.

Perfect landing - nose wheel on the centerline 🎉
I swear Europe has some Of the fiercest winds….. rename channel to 5 min of aviation. Thank you and as always ….good job.
Perfect crosswind landing
The 777 put the nose wheel smack in the middle of the runway on the rollout. Nice touchdown!
Nice touch down but no where near the EK / Boeing technique.
You can't get much better than that. Nice job by the pilot.
The clip’s title screenshot was modified to make this landing look much more dramatic than it actually was. You can screen shot the video and compare. Even RW markings were altered!

I'm going to guess that you're not an airline pilot.
You are 100% correct, when landing a big jet, THE COCKPIT must be UPWIND of the centerline, so that the wheels are over the centreline
That was an awesome landing by the 777
Nope
Man, what a strong crosswind!
You edited the thumbnail to make it look closer... (just look at the right engine in the thumbnail and video)
Huh, yeh, the thumbnail is edited. I like the videos this channel makes but I wish they wouldn't rely on exaggerated titles and editing thumbnails is really disappointing.
2:05 Meh, my Land Rover does that, it'll be fine.
Its a Mercedes Benz Diesel engine....
Amazing pilot skills!
Greased it excellent landing 👍

Side slip of the century, well done
There was no side slip. 🤷🏻♂️
You're confusing the 'side slip' landing technique with 'crabbing'.
The crabbing technique was used in the landing shown in this video.

That guy landed at 40, I was told 30 knots is limit of aircraft, he did GREAT.
funny how different landing were recorded... the A350 be like 50..40..30..down... while on the A321 you hear very rare "5" was called... 😂
So do all glass cockpits similar to the A321 at 1:30 refresh all displays at once and linger on the selected screen long enough to trick our eyes into viewing that particular display?

First landing was outstanding. 40 kt CW is serious business. Second one was filmed be a passenger in the wheel well or strapped to the belly of the airplane?
Crosswind landing from cockpit perspective would be interesting
the first landing was perfect. the nose gear was on the center line.
That A350 landing looked like an aircraft carrier landing; the pilot used only a little bit of the runway but all of the landing gear.
Great landing. Clickbaity title.
00:35 Very dangerous situation, but excellent landing.
How did the passenger get outside and under the plane?
Did you actually not realise that the passenger was filming the screen in front of them?
Their reflection could even be seen at the end of the clip.
Perfect crosswind
So lucky that oil wasn’t on fire!
No miss here. Nose wheel dead center. This is an excellent landing.
I suck at landing 777s (in flight simulators) but they did it quite nicely!
When you hear the 50ft call out look towards the far end of the runway. At 30ft call out gentle pitch up to (visibly) stop the sink. That’s it.
The triple 7 is very easy to land well.
2:09 I think they made a new livery with that.
That A321 looked like it went kinda long didn't it?
Beautifull CRT display one
1:37 why is the glass cockpit having a seizure? Can anyone explain?
@1:16 - Wife texts pilot “honey I need you to do the repairs on the roof and the gutters need to be cleaned oh and my mom is coming over for dinner…” PILOT “FUCK!”

That was some pretty dope 777 flying
Probably the best formation flying I've ever seen. Risky too
Isso é uma maravilha ✈️
Imagine being a passenger on that Emirates triple 7 and looking out your window and seeing center line of the runway.
Can’t think of anything worse than being a passenger and seeing oil seeping out from a failed engine… scary stuff
Ahh that music :)
0:57 'This passenger captures'... what a load of bollox
Well it’s technically true. Doesn’t say they directly captured it. But by filming the video of it they did capture it indirectly.
He can pilot every plane ✈️ I’m flying on….🙏
Was the passenger strapped to the plane belly?
I like windy battles.
It was a good landing in spite of a 40 mph crosswind. And it touched down almost on the marks for landing. ✈️
The term stated in the video was 'KNOTS', not 'mph' - you do know they're not the same thing, right Jerry?
No need to call the flight crew names at 1:40!
Considering the crab angle they were spot on. After kicking rudder he/she is right on the centerline.
This pilot was amazing to land in those conditions! He did a superb job.
