@@BENJIFSAIRLINE That is not accurate. An antenna broadcasts a pulse of energy and listens for its reflection and interprets the power of the reflection to calculate the reflectivity factor Z, expressed in decibels dBZ (helpful because return power varies across many orders of magnitude).

The particulars of the radar on any aircraft are generally going to be determined by the antenna size, as the optimal frequency of emission varies for a given antenna. The large S-band* dishes that make up the ground based WSR-88D network are quite big (around 10m). S-band is a good choice because they have low attenuation and can penetrate through storms and see things behind them. Airplanes can't use S-band though, because the antennas are too big to put on the airplane and require too much power to fully utilize them. Airplane radars are generally in the X-band*. X-band can see smaller particles than S-band but attenuates easier. This means if a big storm is in front of you, the energy doesn't penetrate far into the storm and may not show you the whole storm. These are great short range radars and work well in airborne applications as long as you are aware of the issue with attenuation. In practical use, pilots use PIREP's to determine the actual intesity.
When the windshield wipers are in synchronicity with each other, it seems like the mind takes of a lesser load. Maybe that might be something to think about.
To be honest even though the new WX radar are quite dramatic.. pilots should avoid areas of moderate to severe precipitation (Red or magenta returns) and clearly this was an active TS over the field.. they did a very good job but still….
@@frederiquerijsdijk No, the landing was made by the captain on the left side. The camera is showing only the first officer, that is, it looks like an "autoland", because the movement of yoke is the same on both sides

I would divert .. even if it s a headwind landing..you can’t predict gusts and wind direction under a storm .. plus the insane water quantity that s the engines had to injuste..however nice landing and fly safe .
As a layperson, some questions... a/ the warning tone - what was that for? b/ the comments about landing 'in the red'- I assume that is a reference to the rain density and, if so, it wasn't the case as they had already passed through that? c/ 'heavy' landing in heavy rain to reduce the chance of aquaplaning (real aquaplaning, not simple skids like most think it is) by increasing the ground pressure on initial contact? d/ from the attitude (relative heading) of the aircraft it was close to an 'into the wind' landing, so low level of cross-wind? e/ would the pilot 9and co-pilot) not have been in constant contact with ground control and so have a very good idea of the actual conditions at the airport, so be able to make an informed decision whether to land, circle or take other action? f/ as for 'filming' would that possibly be a camera installed by the company, on a fixed mount - either way, it wasn't a case of a crew member doing actual filming, as some seem to think? g/ some of those commenting need to try being a passenger on the last aircraft into Wellington (NZ - AKA WLG) airport, or the first out, when it's closed due to weather - rather 'interesting' experiences.
sheesh! i would have my heart in my throat! even after doing it a few times! I'm sure he's done it quite a few times in his flying career though, since he's a captain! still, that is pretty gnarly! lol
Fecking Majorca has a thunderstorm? Jeez, it was like this driving to the airport in Ireland but when we got to Majorca. Not a cloud or a gust of wind.
I used to fly turboprops without an autopilot 20 years ago. Pilots today are software managers who only hand fly their aircraft very briefly before landing and after takeoff. This is fine until something unexpected happens and they have to fly it for real, for example a hand flown instrument approach would be too much of a challenge for most airline pilots.
You’ve got to question the decision making here. There’s a lot of red on that radar. Maybe they had the gain turned up, but I reckon they should of held off and waited for the weather to pass before flying the approach (unless they were low fuel maybe?).
If that landing was bad for the passengers they better be happy that they landed on the runway instead of the grass so even with that bumby cockpit still it's a good landing and safer than over running the runway or having the winds push you off the runway
Is it bad that the sound makes me want to sleep? Every time I fly it's an upward battle to stay awake - the noise from the engines just puts me right out.
This may have been asked before. But, why don't airlines use a rain repellent like RainX. I've used RainX for years and have traveled the highways in heavy rain and never needing to turn on the wipers.
That co-pilot is really working the yoke with his mind.

Those are microbursts, and trust me, you will *NOT* like them.

Kudos to the pilots !! You probably don't realize but landing in a thunderstorm is AWWWFFFFUUUULLLL !! Really experienced and trained pilots.
Which is why you should avoid doing it.

they earned their money that day!
Yeap how the pilots say, they are not paid for a regular flights, they are paid to land the plane in those unforeseen circumstances, ace job.
Uh .. I think it's the auto pilot that landed the plane?

@@pedroneves2572 Oh wow I stand corrected. And that's f__cking impressive flying!
You're kidding? That was very calm landing. No wind gusts, nothing. Just a bit of rain.
It was the sneaky crosswind right at touchdown!! And was still in control of that Aircraft now that’s piloting 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"And welcome to sunny Mallorca..."
Good thing we have rain some days 😂😂
When it rains, it rains.
Wow great landing! You guys definitely earned your duty time that day.
great flying , lots of control input all the way down to the deck . On days like this you earn your money !
Fastest wipers ever :)
No streaking either!
My car wipers are faster.
What a skilled pilots! Great job!
@Mr. X At 1:45 you can hear the Autopilot disconnect sound, so yes he land it him self, no autopilot landing
Just remember: Pilots fly with much more, than just their view through the Window. Still a great job, every one of them are doing.
Plane: gets struck by lightning and shakes like an earthquake
Copilot: and how was your weekend John?
👌🏼😂
I hate flying and never will again but I’m addicted to these videos
I was nervous watching this, can't imagine pilots feeling. Thanks God for ILS :D

The good news is the safe landing and the fact that they’re in Palma for the night 😮
Wow what a landing! World class pilot skills. Also love this because I have landed (as a passenger) hundreds of times at Palma de Mallorca.
Great landing 😃
1:10, the note on the steering ahead of the pilot to the right:
"DO NOT TOUCH STEERING WHEEL" well ok then
It´s not usual this weather here in Mallorca.
Jesus...what a landing! I would have left the AP on till I got over the runway!!! The radar looked like a kaleidoscope.
Not gonna lie that 3 mile final looked pretty intense
Impressive. Great job. Serious skills!
There not touching the contriols?

I love the way you can see the pilots guiding controls on the co pilots stick at the start , while I’m thinking “where on earth is the runway”
It's on autopilot until 1:44, then the pilot takes over.
Wow big gust 10ft off the ground
I think it's the final rudder input to straighten up after crosswind.
Thx for the videos and keep em coming....great skill displayed👏

c/ 'heavy' landing in heavy rain to reduce the chance of aquaplaning (real aquaplaning, not simple skids like most think it is) by increasing the ground pressure on initial contact?
d/ from the attitude (relative heading) of the aircraft it was close to an 'into the wind' landing, so low level of cross-wind?
e/ would the pilot 9and co-pilot) not have been in constant contact with ground control and so have a very good idea of the actual conditions at the airport, so be able to make an informed decision whether to land, circle or take other action?

@@AndrewandDebbie Thank you - I thought it was referring to the automated "minimums" warning immediately after it.

The frequency of left wiper and right wiper is not the same. They have a phase difference.

The amount of corrections and how aggressive the yoke movements were. The other pilot must have still nerves trusting this other guy.
Why, he has to in these conditions
Nicely done!

You have Vref + 5 kts on the PFD, but oncoming wind approximately 20 kts. You must have a speed higher.....about Vref + 10 kts....or +12 kts.

If the winds are within limits they can try. The red is probably just loads of rain.

The runway was so much wet... Autobreak max?
Great video captain, those conditions are so god damn crazy
Doesnt look like the wipers do much at higher speed. Why cant they use a good hydrophobic ceramic coating ?
İt seems left main gear touch the ground firstly. At radio altimeter 4 feet, aircraft banking left side dangerously. İts reason May be gusting.

@Rick. Operating temperatures?
Some airlines used RainX for a while
Why would you ever turn the wipers on well above minima. They overheat very quickly. Just leave them off untill you are approaching your DA
Why do they overheat?
Pardon my ignorance, but why wouldn’t a CAT be required for this landing considering the heavy rains?
You can see the runway so you land it manually thats all
