I'm not a pilot but have traveled extensively as a passenger. I've learned to appreciate a pilot who makes a greaser landing such that you don't even know the wheels are down. On the way out of the plane, I will stop and congratulate the flight crew and pilot!!
I'm not a pilot & I'm happy with the quote “A ‘good’ landing is one from which you can walk away. A ‘great’ landing is one after which they can use the plane again.”
As my instructor was saying: "This is one of the things we can not teach, you have to get the feel for it." And it is true, my landings were getting better and better with each lesson. Practice is the best teacher!
I swear this video came at the perfect time. This is literally the one thing my instructor told me I have to nail to be able to solo. His exact words were "you do everything perfectly, just land softer". Thank you so much for the insight Joe
I was a passenger on a flight to YYZ and it was the best landing ever. There was only a VERY SLIGHT vibration as the main gear touched down and then reverse thrust came on. As the plane slowed down the captain announced the following, "That....ladies and gentlemen.....is how you land an L-1011." The entire cabin erupted into cheers and applause.
See above. You don;t "feel" a simulator. For that reason, I've wlays found it more challenging to "fly" a simulator that fly an aircraft!! Note on of the inset videos of a landing in the 172. Note that the yoke is all over the place approaching and into the flare. That is the pilot "feeling" for the runway.
@@crsvetteii1753 There are benefits to adding simulator time to augment actual flight time training, but it should never be used in lieu of actual flight time training. For instance, if weather condition don't permit actual flying, that's a perfect time to hit the simulators. But it should never replace actual flight hours.
These are what I say: Smooth- “he greased it” or “niiicceee” or “butter” Firm- “he put it down” More than firm- “ he pancaked it” Anything worse- I squint, say “oooffff”, and laugh a little bit because I think of the passengers and what that flights crew members are thinking.
Would like to see a video on how to use the flight computer to setup basic flight plans from the cockpit and how to pick a runway midflight and setup to land on :)
After one bouncy landing, the lead flight attendant said on the PA system, "well, that was a landing". She obviously didn't want to criticize her co-workers but it was rough and probably couldn't have gone uncommented altogether.
I am not even in the age to fly the Cessna . I am watching your videos since 4 years . It feels like I can just grab a b747 and fly it (SOLO) Thank a lot as you explain everything as perfect as a friend. Never gonna stop watching your videos
Soft landing: OH MY GAWD Hard landing: GO AROUND AND STILL TOUCH DOWN SOFTER ON THE OTHER END OF THE RUNWAY THEN OVERRUN Crash landing: Imean, we landed, did we not?!?!
“Any landing that you can get out alive is a good landing Any landing that you can get out and still fly the same plane is a GREAT landing” I’ve definitely butchered that saying
@@astupidmidge you know what they say taking off is optional landing is mandatory. How you do it is still a option. Plummeting at mach 0.8 nose down to the earth will take your plane down. It will be the last thing you do with that plane.
@@ConstantlyDamaged legend has it that there is a bucket next to the aircrafts door during boarding where the passengers are supposed to throw in some cash. But the “crowdfunding goal” seems to never have been achieved
I will never forget how smooth landing when I first arrived US through SFO on UA’s B747 form NRT Japan. I can’t even felt landing is happening when touch down it just like “ fly to runway and keep flying on the tarmac and slow down at the meaning “ . That is so weird and I have never experienced that kind of jaw dropping smooth landing again. That happened in sep 1st 2003. That is art.
Hi Joe, I am a student gyrocopter pilot, and I have just recently started doing the take offs and landings, so this video comes at the right time for me (although gyrocopters are rather different), and I would agree that the Air Berlin pilot was close to the point where a go-around may have been a better option, flaring is something we gyrocopter pilots have to do too, but obviously a gyrocopter has a much shorter landing run than a fixed-wing aircraft, we simply pull the stick back and let the rotors stop the aircraft, in the process of learning I am beginning to understand the workload that all pilots have, it takes a special kind of person to fly an airliner, and be responsible for the safety and comfort of passengers, I am only flying a small aircraft, but there is so much to learn, and, I guess we're always learning, anyway, stay safe all the best from Scotland, Stephen.
5:43 Oh boy, a Wamos 747. I miss them so much. I used to be a flight attendant for Wamos until Covid started. Hope they are OK and ready to work this summer. :( I've flown so many times in that Jumbo...
Practice makes a man perfect...... I was not able to land a 737 smoothly but now after practicing 4 or 5 months I'm getting better and better.......... Thanks sir.👍👍👍🤩🤩
In Brazil we call a hard landing a "catrapo", and a soft landing we say that the pilot "alisou a pista" (smoothed the runway)... Usage in a sentence: One of your collegues did a "catrapo" here in Curitiba, and it grounded the LX-NCL for a few days back in September 😂 (ua-cam.com/video/MICLoDWYxzk/v-deo.html)
Hey! I’m Brazilian, how are the hour requirements and job availability in Brazil? I’m doing my training in the US and was looking to go back to Brazil to time build after my Commercial Multi rating. Can you get a job with about 300 hours there?
@@h3sh926 right now it's almost impossible to get a job on aviation here in Brazil (at least on the bigger airlines and charter companies)... some expect the aviation industry to be a little more open here by mid-2022... But in a scenario without the pandemic, if you have a bachelor's (in any field, not only aeronautical sciences), usually the airlines hire you with about 300~500 flight hours... this number doubles if you don't have a bachelor's degree... (and you need to speak portuguese). BUT, if is only to build more flight hours, there's always opportunities on the North/Amazonia region (though it's very risky there, as the safety/security protocols are not very ensured there...)
@@h3sh926 for an example, here were the requirements of an (now defunct) Brazilian airline (but it's standard for the brazilian companies, the only thing that changes is the type rating) epicflightacademy.com/hiring-requirements-avianca-brazil/ this probably dates back from 2017, when the brazilian aviation industry was on its peak, and they were hiring literally everybody who applied (as you can see, they only required 200 flight hours... but again... 2020 fucked us over, and its definitely not like that anymore hahahahaha 😅)
@@merdapostagem5985 Thank you for that, I didn’t consider flying in the Amazon. I will look into that. 300 hours is incredibly low for the airlines when compared to the US’s 1,500 hours minimum requirement. I do speak Portuguese too.
I'm in flight school atm, and I've been learning how to land (A.K.A the art of landing) and you nailed the explanation! I've had some hard landings and some soft landings, but I like to remark "Damn put her down quite rough" or "She's not gonna like that" on the hard landings. On smooth landings, it's "Buttery", "Silky smooth!" or just a good ol' "Oooohhh yeah! Nice and easy" and "Chefs kiss".
I’m a pilot on the A320 i kinda have my own technique for landing I start the flair at 50ft but a slow flair Then when i cut the power i keep pulling the side stick and let go a little i keep repeating that until the touchdown and i get really smooth landings 90% of the time
Back in the day, we practiced and practiced and practiced again (Three years with a Cessna 172, 8 years with a PA-32-260 Cherokee 6 and the Piper was much better at greasing the runway than with the 172. With a slight to medium cross wind the Cessna wasn't easy and in heavy cross wind, well, forget it......it was ouch ! We finally resolved the problem with a Cessna 185 on floats. (cross winds were rare events). Got to old, operating costs got worse and we gave up on flying (After 38 years) ! Great video !
Hey Joe nice video. You really explained a proper step by step procedure, where my instructors never taught me how to flare properly and have always yelled at me for making bumpy landings. Thank you 🙏🏻 This was really helpful.
I look forward to that day, when the crew says: "Unfortunately has both the pilots got sck, do we have a Captain Joe subscriber onboard, so please come to the cockpit, we need to land the plane as fast as possible..." Ha ha ha.
I've found that my smoothest landings are achieved by performing a longer flare, but I'll only ever use that technique on runways with more than double the necessary space for me to land with moderate braking and flaps full.
Nothing is like to learn from a real life pilot who knows the 747 very well and can tell us the best way to deal with the Queen of of skies. I've been having a good time here on your channel learning details about the 747-8 to apply on my Flight Simulations. Thanks a lot, Captain Joe
Hello im Just 13yrs old An i Appreciate Having a simple vid For us From the Philppines 😍😍 And i've Been Always watching your vids and I'am Dreaming to be just like You 😍
Yes, interesting video. Oct. 1987, Berlin Tegel. Landing from FRA on a Pan Am A310 in complete fog. I was amazed how lightly we touched down too. Thanks, Joe.
Only one word to this video... WOW!!! Keeping in mind soft landing is not a priority, it is good to see a renown Captain teaching or giving wonderful tips about soft landings using a flight sim. We flight simmers appreciate that a lot. We thrive all over on the youtube to learn how to make soft touchdown, and finally, we have the perfect one now. 👍🏻
I totally hear you and I would love too, but there are some weirdos out there who will crash land the plane and upload on UA-cam etc. I kinda won’t to prevent that. I hope you understand!
I mostly have no idea what goes on when you start talking numbers, but I admire what a good teacher you are. I love being a passenger on a plane and I am glad you pilots are so smart, except for that guy with the hot mic who cussed Bay Area people. Anyway, I am thankful for your videos and your teachings! Greetings from KSMF!
If Ryanair ever gives me a soft landing, I will file a complaint. When I buy a Ryanair ticket, I expect to be smashed against the ground. It is included in the price.
Me at pilots license test. People there: ok here's you questions but you haven't gone to flight school? Me: I watched captain Joe! Them: WOW THAT WAS FAST! CONGRATULATIONS YOU GOT YOU PILOTS LICENSE!
...that's the way you are going to fail your license. unfortunately for you, you need to study and practice. watching youtube videos won't give you anything.
@@aviationchannel6204 yep wet runway should always be firm, to let the tyres cut thru the standing water. A proper hard landing puts the plane out of action as captain must pull a breaker and get the landing gear checked out. This causes delays but it must be done. Certain G forces on landing automatically send data to an independent company who then send the airline a detailed report. The airline must then check the pilots reports and if breaker is not pulled and gear check not done its likely the pilots could be sacked. Pilots do not know what that G rating is, nor do they get any idea its gone over. So pilots error on side of caution at all times. If it feels hard, get it checked otherwise it could be the end of job. So very few people have had a true hard landing before.
I am not a pilot , i been travelling extensively as a passenger also i have learned a lots about landing takeoff etc, still learning more about engine and auto pilot etc, thanks Mr Joe , we are learning lots more from you and your experience , thanks a lot and keep going. reg R.menon
That wake turbulence on that Atlas 747 Love the video Captain Joe, keep doing what you’re doing. I’m in the process of o raining my PPL now and your videos are always educational and motivating.
I used to land a lot at palm springs (psp) which is notorious for crosswinds. I was always so impressed with the american eagle pilots who literally flew back and forth from lax all day and always nailed the landings. Sometimes it looked like the plane was landing angled 90 degrees to the runway.
After 35 years of flying Flight Simulator in it's various guises and being a former tester for MS UK way back in the day on the 744, I watch a lot of your videos with always something new to learn! I have finally subscribed! I have over 2000 virtual hours in the PMDG 744 in FSX and in P3D and about 300 way back in FS2000 when PSS released their 744, after which I got into testing. I have not really tried the 747-8 in MSFS yet, preferring to wait for the PMDG offering when it finally comes out. I have spent many hours flying the 737-800 and now also have about 350 hours in the A320 (FSLabs in FSX and P3D and Fenix and FlyByWire models in MSFS) and this video is of particular help to me as I have just moved on to the Honeycoomb Alpha flight yoke. On behalf of the Simming community, thank you for the time and effort you give to us to help those of us who can never have your career - and so enjoy it virtually in our wonderful Simulator. Nice one Joe. I love the 747 and have done for a long time. Keep them coning. All the best from the UK. Lee (virtualairlinepilot.org)
Very interesting, thank you. After watching many video landings, why do pilots incur so much movement (left to right or right to left) with the yoke? Would appreciate to learn why so much movement as you approach the runway. Thank you Capt. Joe.
Hey Captain Joe, today I had my first flying in a two seater airplane as a co-pilot. The pilot allowed me to control the plane immediately after the take off and almost till touch down. It was a very great experience and scary at the same time. However unlike you the pilot was super rude 😐 Thank you for inspiring me to try it once 😃
Another great video, Joe - a couple comments: the first video of the 747 at 6:45 seems to show full upward deflection of the elevator, so i'm not sure the pilot necessarily screwed up or if there was a loss of lift due to a wind shift - we just don't see enough of what happened prior. as to the Air Berlin floating, in our smaller planes that usually means we are landing with too much speed and thus the plane, in ground effect, won't settle. Not sure if that happens with the big jets too, but us Cessna drivers know this dynamic well. Cheers!
I'm not a pilot but have traveled extensively as a passenger. I've learned to appreciate a pilot who makes a greaser landing such that you don't even know the wheels are down. On the way out of the plane, I will stop and congratulate the flight crew and pilot!!
And how do you congratulate the crew and pilots? Clapping? No, that means hate to the pilot in aviation.
A respectful passenger, I love it!!!
@@flywithcaptainjoe I very much agree I always wanted to co gratulate the crew with great landing even though I'm not a pilot😂😂
I enjoy every flight I go on very well done by the pilots that having a very responsible job, they try to keep it a very enjoyable flight
This is how I congratulate the crew and pilots, I usually say "Another happy landing and thanks to the nice crew!"
I'm not a pilot & I'm happy with the quote “A ‘good’ landing is one from which you can walk away. A ‘great’ landing is one after which they can use the plane again.”
Wow Joe at this point you are teaching us how to fly planes without going to Flight School 😂

Then there’s carrier landings, where you’re essentially slamming down onto the deck with no flare whatsoever.

I love being a passenger on a plane and I am glad you pilots are so smart, except for that guy with the hot mic who cussed Bay Area people. Anyway, I am thankful for your videos and your teachings! Greetings from KSMF!
If Ryanair ever gives me a soft landing, I will file a complaint. When I buy a Ryanair ticket, I expect to be smashed against the ground. It is included in the price.
OMG SO TRUE!!😂
Haha 😂
joe today was my best day ever i got a tour of the jkia airport in kenya my mom works there
swiss001 be like no, we just land fast and float to butter that way
It’s time for a video collaboration with him😉
@@flywithcaptainjoe lmaoooo he'll scream if you comment on his vid.
@@flywithcaptainjoe who can land smoother...
@@flywithcaptainjoe oh im excited!
@@Pies. Serbian pilots and that with damaged landing gear...😁
i’m very proud that you put philippine airlines in there~~~i’m filipino
He is from Germany and I'm from Switzerland
Me at pilots license test. People there: ok here's you questions but you haven't gone to flight school? Me: I watched captain Joe! Them: WOW THAT WAS FAST! CONGRATULATIONS YOU GOT YOU PILOTS LICENSE!
...that's the way you are going to fail your license. unfortunately for you, you need to study and practice. watching youtube videos won't give you anything.
@@fgrion its a joke🙃
@@avi-nation7620 i hope so... you would be surprised on how many people think that watching youtube videos is enough.
@@fgrion it's a joke dumbass
You could say that the joke....flew over their head?
I want to learn the fly. I love these videos!
I always say "the pilot made a drilling for oil" when I see someone performing a hard landing
Reading "drilling for oil", thinking "oh, he made it so smooooth". Finishing sentence "O.o Not what I expected but now I get the point".
@@Ktulu789 hablas español? no entendi si lo decis por como redacté en ingles o si te referis a lo que pensaria el pasajero jajaja
Excellent video captain 👨🏽✈️👍🏼
0:30 yey philippine airlines
i 'm aeronautical student but all are learn in your video this is really useful for me . keep upload video about aerocaft.☺☺☺☺☺i'm waiting
A good flare is like ballet.
A bad flare is like a drunk white guy dancing.
Racist
@@IBo99608 liberal blm shit
being an aviation enthusiast this is really funn!!
How I say it:
Smooth landing: Butter
Hard landing: Ryanair
Examples: "Yes, I buttered this landing." "Whoops, Ryanaired it this time."
A landing should always be firm. A soft landing is pilot error as plane has floated long. Ryanair do landings by the book, perfect every time.
@@GeordieBoy69 Called a "Positive landing", good for wet runways
@@aviationchannel6204 yep wet runway should always be firm, to let the tyres cut thru the standing water. A proper hard landing puts the plane out of action as captain must pull a breaker and get the landing gear checked out. This causes delays but it must be done. Certain G forces on landing automatically send data to an independent company who then send the airline a detailed report. The airline must then check the pilots reports and if breaker is not pulled and gear check not done its likely the pilots could be sacked. Pilots do not know what that G rating is, nor do they get any idea its gone over. So pilots error on side of caution at all times. If it feels hard, get it checked otherwise it could be the end of job. So very few people have had a true hard landing before.
@@GeordieBoy69 I see many people shake the camera and scream during a butter landing and call it a "hard landing"
Another superb flying lesson from the great Captain Joe. You have my respect, sir.
Joe get Swiss 001 who started the butter thing cos he made aviation much better like u
Great video Joe! Thanks for taking the time for novices like me!
Soft landing = butter
Hard landing = Ryanair landing
as a ryanair pil- nah im just kiddin
Feared of landings..... but now got better ideas..thanks captain JOE sir
Honestly it is a great video captain
I’m currently working on landings at flight school. Couldn’t have been a more perfect time to upload this video. Thanks Joe!
Thanks for the video.... super concise explanation.
This is the only aviation channel for me .. Liked it .. Dont leave youtube channel captain Joe 👏
I am not a pilot , i been travelling extensively as a passenger also i have learned a lots about landing takeoff etc, still learning more about engine and auto pilot etc, thanks Mr Joe , we are learning lots more from you and your experience , thanks a lot and keep going. reg R.menon
Joe! Your videos are awesome! I love geeking out to them!
Thanks captain Joe. I have really learned about landing with your easy explanations.
Love from Morocco 🇲🇦
God bless America 🇺🇸
Time to use my knowledge accumulated on flight sims.
Thanks cap'n
That wake turbulence on that Atlas 747
Love the video Captain Joe, keep doing what you’re doing. I’m in the process of o raining my PPL now and your videos are always educational and motivating.
Cap'n joe thanks for another good lesson now I can be a good pilot like you!
I used to land a lot at palm springs (psp) which is notorious for crosswinds. I was always so impressed with the american eagle pilots who literally flew back and forth from lax all day and always nailed the landings. Sometimes it looked like the plane was landing angled 90 degrees to the runway.
1:25 The resolution of that 747-8 image... OOOOOOOOF
After 35 years of flying Flight Simulator in it's various guises and being a former tester for MS UK way back in the day on the 744, I watch a lot of your videos with always something new to learn! I have finally subscribed! I have over 2000 virtual hours in the PMDG 744 in FSX and in P3D and about 300 way back in FS2000 when PSS released their 744, after which I got into testing. I have not really tried the 747-8 in MSFS yet, preferring to wait for the PMDG offering when it finally comes out. I have spent many hours flying the 737-800 and now also have about 350 hours in the A320 (FSLabs in FSX and P3D and Fenix and FlyByWire models in MSFS) and this video is of particular help to me as I have just moved on to the Honeycoomb Alpha flight yoke. On behalf of the Simming community, thank you for the time and effort you give to us to help those of us who can never have your career - and so enjoy it virtually in our wonderful Simulator. Nice one Joe. I love the 747 and have done for a long time. Keep them coning. All the best from the UK. Lee (virtualairlinepilot.org)
Very interesting, thank you. After watching many video landings, why do pilots incur so much movement (left to right or right to left) with the yoke? Would appreciate to learn why so much movement as you approach the runway. Thank you Capt. Joe.
This will help me in those 🧈 landings ❤️ thanks!
Hey Captain Joe, today I had my first flying in a two seater airplane as a co-pilot. The pilot allowed me to control the plane immediately after the take off and almost till touch down. It was a very great experience and scary at the same time. However unlike you the pilot was super rude 😐 Thank you for inspiring me to try it once 😃
That was so informative Captain Joe. This is the best tip for a better landing.
Thee videos are excellent!!!
Joey, this video is much informative cheers man
My pleasure buddy!
Another great video, Joe - a couple comments: the first video of the 747 at 6:45 seems to show full upward deflection of the elevator, so i'm not sure the pilot necessarily screwed up or if there was a loss of lift due to a wind shift - we just don't see enough of what happened prior. as to the Air Berlin floating, in our smaller planes that usually means we are landing with too much speed and thus the plane, in ground effect, won't settle. Not sure if that happens with the big jets too, but us Cessna drivers know this dynamic well. Cheers!
