I landed a Cessna 150 in Ellensburg, Washington, USA like this; the first attempt I rolled about 50 feet after touchdown. On the second attempt, I thought I could do better, and landed with the wheels locked and zero forward speed, and ZERO rollout, touched down stationary. Don't try this at home. VERY amazing to see an A380 virtually parked.
@@peterbondy Yep. All i saw was a bunch of slow clouds and a hugely tall pole infront of the right wing. I was sitting on the right window seat in economy class(for some reason i saw it, dunno if its a hallucination from what i saw) and then at night the plane suddenly started descending
I was watching the planes come in out my window while I worked, it was incredible how slow their ground speed was at the height of the day. I've seen the effects of it before but never to that extreme.
@@kfl16 yep, in a 30 knot headwind theyd still be coming in at 110 knots ground speed rather than 140-150. Being such massive beasts it's enough to make them look like they're just hovering in.
Years ago when I lived in the capital city of New Zealand we used to go and watch the likes of the Foker Freindship trying to land in a strong southerly, the aircraft sat there for sometime before aborting the landing. I had one flight out of that airport in the 80s, we were told to be ready to get onboard at a moments notice, the Foker Friendship was being tehterd down in the wind, there was a brief calming of the wind and we were off loaded and away insde about 10 minutes, we had a tail wind all the way home to where I lived 40 minutes it took and usually back then it was 50 to 55 minutes flight. Love seeing the A380 magic aircraft
Ha! The old Fokker Friendship. Brings to mind the one about the Australian bloke who was trying to book a flight with Fokker Friendship. Chap at the desk says, “Sorry Ocker, the Fokker’s chokker”!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre currently attempting to land but the wind speed is matching our ground speed, so it looks like we will be floating here for a while-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and if we keep in this positon-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, we will simplely go around and give it another go. thank you"
@@topfelya crazy isn’t it, I am going to research it and get some info! If you want to use the footage for your channel mate I can send you the video! All I ask is just tag our channel
Not really hovering, but the telephoto lens makes it look that way. Probably doing at least 100 knots ground speed. It would take a strong hurricane to make it “hover” and there would be no air traffic under such conditions.
I once piloted an aircraft into Leeds Bradford on a very windy day, and was asked by ATC if I was in reverse! FYI, it's not possible to deploy reverse thrust while airborne - unless there is a VERY serious fault.
Not on this Airbus jet, but the DC-8-71 model was able to use the inboard engines in reverse thrust while inflight. Loud and shook the entire fuselage, but perfectly legal in that model DC-8.
Incredible I am lucky to watch A380 landing and take off at Toronto, Canada. Always impressed by this mighty bird and here it’s amazing to see it just staying like that in air.
Although I am a bit concerned here. I am hopeful their actual ground speed is faster than it appears in the video. If they're truly hovering then a sudden shift in the wind could slam them straight onto the ground.
Flying into a strong headwind with zero groundspeed and adequate airspeed is a cool trick, but what happens when the wind stops or shifts direction? The airplane has no momentum, it would take a while to rebuild airspeed. The plane would literally just drop out of the sky.
Credit where credits due- to the pilots sheesh what a job keeping the beast hoovering like that, can even hear the dog in the back ground barking his/her's approval, 😅, seriously tho that was incredible
The engines are going pretty hard to fight the wind in this video. If the wind slowed or changed direction the aircraft would stay in the air and suddenly seem to speed up in another direction as the resistance was removed.
Is it possible to hover land I wonder. Increase power to fly over the runway without flaps then once almost above runway drop flaps and hover land horizontally.
@@jonasw4921 Yeah, in the end, I assumed what they were doing was deemed safe. Optics on the video can be deceiving. Still a surreal video at first glance!
I was working this day when storm Eunice came that was the most exciting day to work on the ramp!! Ok Mayb not so for the passengers but for me it was great never seen so many go arounds and so many aborted landings just watching it all unfold on bigjet tv was great as well
Cool video , but very misleading description. Near hovering.? Not even close! Approach speed of an A380 is close to 210 mph airspeed, so the plane is going at least that fast in relation to the air. If the 65 mph was a direct head wind it'd be a 155 mph ground speed. It's still probably going faster than that (ground speed) since it's a cross wind and also the pilots may have had a bit more than "nominal" approach speed because of said cross wind. Then, of course, there's the angle the plane is approaching the camera and the telephoto lens that also contribute to the appearance that the airplane is moving very slowly. Again though, cool video to be sure. There's plenty like this on UA-cam.
Agreed. It was in a severe crab, so it was coming straight at the camera but at the angle to the wind. It's like an optical illusion, you would expect it to move forward in relation to the roof in the foreground, but it was instead coming straight at it but angled. That is why on the Goaround it went straight over the top of the camera. All in all very cool indeed
@@lexteakmialoki5544 you both are party poopers! But really, after reading both of your descriptions and re-watching the video, you're definitely right.
Pretty strong crosswind. They're in a "crab" maneuver. Where the A380 was landing at an angle. Basically, the passengers looking out the right side of the A380, may have been able to actually look down the runway.
Walking speed I'd say, may be a gentle jog!!!!! I've never seen anything like it, wow. I bet that Pilot had a sweat on his brow 😳. Skills put to the test 👏
Hardly hovering, can clearly see the A380 getting larger in frame. Just happens to be the angle of approach and the wind direction making it "look" still
This is not normal. Impossible this is passenger plane. First its sitting in one spot for far too long. Second it has no FAA regulation blinking lights on wingtips and tail. Military triangle drone. See them at airports around world. Same type of thing. Just look at videos. They don't care if it looks stupid
I had been wondering if that scene from @into_the_storm ua-cam.com/video/sQeERinVyOE/v-deo.html could actually happen in real life (albeit with minor differences, the main thing being strong winds lifting an aircraft off of the ground).

1 his approach speed was to slow,he was warned of winds,plus if he kept his approach speed up he would have made it,he was showing off or a rookie 🤔 😉 🤣 😂 😜
Hats off to the pilots for this attempt and their good decision to go around.

Can you imagine being a passenger and looking out the window only to see the ground hardly moving?!
Happened to me once when i was 4, going back to HK. Plane was in mid air for hours with nothing moving

Those winds are crazy. We're talking what, 130, 140 knots headwind.
I cannot express my anger and disappointment that they did not perform a Harier style landing
You and me both
Lol can you imagine 😂
I have done it.
@@BrilliantDesignOnline I salute you!
@@sawdustcrypto3987 I also did this in an ultralight in a high wind; Hit the throttle with no forward speed and go VERTICAL climbout.

does it really have no momentum? airspeed will be the same, no?
Incredible.. Gas price was so low. The place was cool too!
Credit where credits due- to the pilots sheesh what a job keeping the beast hoovering like that, can even hear the dog in the back ground barking his/her's approval, 😅, seriously tho that was incredible
I just witnessed this two weeks ago. It is the weirdest thing to see. Pretty incredible.
Wow! A side by side video including a standard landing would be good to see.
I adore this plane
I wonder what would’ve happened had the wind suddenly stopped or turned into another direction? Sudden loss of uplift at low height?
The engines are going pretty hard to fight the wind in this video. If the wind slowed or changed direction the aircraft would stay in the air and suddenly seem to speed up in another direction as the resistance was removed.
Do A380 have GS mini like the A320 ?
am just seeing this...wow just wow....does this not exceed the maximumcros wind allowed ?
Go around, right procedure! TOGA= Take Off and Go Around 👍👍👏👏
Absolutely insane mate......
Was this the flight that tried to land three times?
STORM EUNICE IN BELGIUM, BEST LANDINGS
Anyone know what flight is this? london time during this video?
This was Flight QR3 from Doha to London Heathrow
Is it possible to hover land I wonder. Increase power to fly over the runway without flaps then once almost above runway drop flaps and hover land horizontally.
Any passenger views on this yet?
Thats extremely dangerous, if the wind had changed direction it would have fallen to the ground..
I was thinking the same thing. A down draft would have been a problem.
@@Mark-hb5zf I guess it's just an optical illusion and they had plenty of margin.

I thought when I was watching that my eyes were deceiving me. I felt the pilot was attempting to drop land the plane.
Wow.
It's a hover craft.
Qatar buys out Hoverspeed for Saudi Arabia to Hethrow fast service
I saw the same thing over a parking lot
Air was so think the plane got stuck!
that is insane :)
I have seen this before
ATC "Qatar380 confirm ground speed", Qatar "That's 1kt gs 180kt indicated", ATC "Qatar380 Go around".. Qatar "Thank god, inshallah"
I wonder how much fuel it burnt to go nowhere?
Quite a lot. But that saved a lot of lives too.
I have a Ford....
Why does it look like it's hardly moving?
Such a strong wind causing this effect
Pretty strong crosswind. They're in a "crab" maneuver. Where the A380 was landing at an angle. Basically, the passengers looking out the right side of the A380, may have been able to actually look down the runway.
What might the groundspeed have been? 🤔
We believe 160
Looks like about 40/50 to me
Walking speed I'd say, may be a gentle jog!!!!! I've never seen anything like it, wow. I bet that Pilot had a sweat on his brow 😳. Skills put to the test 👏
Captain: What's the ground speed? Reply: What ground speed?
IT'S JST STANDING TNERE...MENACINGLY!!!!
What about Planes seen with no strong crosswinds...... then what ?
We stream them 5 times a week hence the channel, it takes 10 seconds to see that.
Hardly hovering, can clearly see the A380 getting larger in frame. Just happens to be the angle of approach and the wind direction making it "look" still
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!
perfect example of lagging rl immense frame drop

Well if they were hovering they should have hovered over to the gate. Would have saved some taxi time.
Agreed 😂

Ground speed zero ! Air speed 110 knots !

Stop talking shit and learn the difference between air speed and ground speed.
Groundspeed = airspeed plus windspeed
