For an airline with almost 500 planes currently in service and decades of flight history, flight 4102 is the _only_ significant incident/accident listed for Ryanair. That's not an easy feat, especially for a low-cost operator.
@@potato1907 i dont think you can blame them. they have to follow countries authorities. belarus lied to them and said they had a suspected bomb inside and had to land, no airline or pilot would argue with that
thats not how it works. you dont just dismiss an official report. just because a plane landed safely, doesn’t NECESSARILY mean the pilots did a good job. in this situation, they did, but your comment is just stupid.
I believe they engaged in an TOGA which is mostly automated I believe, so when you say "land," you meant "crashed," yes. They were apparently the only ones in control afterwards steering and possibly braking once "crashed." If you think about it, what's really the worst that can happen hitting hundreds of small birds at 150 feet? Loss of engines, right? So from 150 feet I would think there's got to be a little bit of glide capability with existing speed. Attempting a go around with loss of engines however -could- did result in a crash. Kind of like when driving your car and a squirrel runs out in front of you, you can yank the steering wheel, and or maybe slam on brakes hopefully not hitting a tree or someone hitting you from behind, or you can go with the flow and keep driving hope for the best.
Easy to criticize the Crew here,but the guys brought the bird back on the runway without letting it veer off,, Once again a superb video and amazing job by the both the pilots,
Wait till the passengers get into the airport and are hit with the additional "Survival fee". Those sitting on the right side, will feel better though, when they realise they're not the ones being charged for breaking the undercarriage on the left. Did they dump fuel? Cus if they do, you have to pay for it.
@Otto Sump all jokes aside, Ryanair is the safest airline in the world, nobody has ever died on a Ryanair plane, it needs to improve the landings but, yknow R/whooosh me now
It always seems the pilots get knocked for NOT performing a go-around, yet in this case investigators said it was one of the causal factors? Damned if you do...
There is NEVER any blame and/or fault associated with calling for a TOGA - either pilot can call it and explain his/her rational after landing. Although I'm sure Captain Ramsay would say you cannot call TOGA for reasons of "interpretation, personal intuition, gut feelings, hairs on the back of your neck, little devils or angels sitting on your shoulder..." etc.

That's just a normal Ryanair landing lol. And I extend my condolences to the 86 starlings that died while attacking the engine. Jokes apart, the best thing to see in your videos is that everyone survived!
@@LC-bp9ri It's actually 95.7% according to the NTSB. They only counted airplane crashes considered to be "survivable crashes" sooo like not sure wtf they mean. It's a skewed data set. What is the survival rate in all "non survivable" airplane crashes? Lol
Frank Davis yeah I have no idea what the difference between survivable and non survivable would be. But this one seems as though it would fall into the survivable side haha
@@LC-bp9riI watched a documentary recently.. Americans and Mexicans organized a crash of a passenger plane in the mexican desert a few years ago, and there were crash test dummies onboard. Some of those in the front section exceeded an acceleration on impact of about 8 G's for 20 or so milliseconds. The narrator said that for real people sitting in those seats, that crash most likely would have been unsurvivable. The rest of the dummies stayed below 6 G's.
I wouldn't pin blame on the pilot for this ... but I would definitely not have initiated a go-around. The reason, of course, is that the airplane could definitely have landed safely with or without bird strikes, but bird strikes after a go-around decision could cause the airplane to crash after passing over the runway. Always better to make the choice that definitely avoids a crash.
max bootstrap --your logic is correct, except for the blame. The only reason he didn't crash was the quick engine failures. But if he had crashed and lives were lost, he certainly would (and should) have been blamed. Going around was a terrible decision.
@@tenpiloto : I watched again, and tend to agree with you. But I don't think either of us know with sufficient precision some details that make a difference in how reasonable was a go-around. For example, from the viewpoint of the pilots and copilot, did it look near certain they could avoid all the birds if they initiated the go-around. After watching again, I tend to agree with you because the video claims the go-around was initiated only 7 seconds before touchdown. That is too close to the runway to justify trying to miss a large flock of birds by flying above them. Nonetheless, in cases like these, the chances we are actually getting every last detail, and getting them all accurately ... isn't very high. From my experience, almost all reports (especially youtube video type reports) tend to omit important details. What I find interesting is the issue of how decisions should be made. One approach is to memorize thousands of pages of airplane manufacturer and airline rules, then try to remember them in an instant when something strange happens. Another approach is to remember a few simple but reliable "cliches" like ... when landing if something wacky happens and you can still land safely ... *just land!* Don't try to remember rules and don't try to work out the situation logically. If you can land safely, then land. A few simple rules of prudence like this are often more valuable than 1000s of pages of written material. This is a case where that is very clear. Not every case can be covered by simple cliches or rules of thumb like this.
The passengers were extremely lucky the engines failed when they did. Had he gained much more altitude, and say the engines failed at 500ft. The plane could have dropped out of the sky like a pebble, killing everyone. The pilots were idiots in this one, imo
You guys have no clue what you’re talking about, the report concluded that the crew made the correct decision. The Captain judged the approach path as unsafe, and as such initiated a go-around... this is before any strike occurred.. it was only there after once the go around had been initiated the aircraft was struck. If for some reason the overran the RWY with multiple bird strikes they would be have been scolded for not going around. It was a split second decision, and they followed the correct procedure.
Ryanair only has hard landings because the 737 wasn't built for soft ones, the gear is shorter than most other aircraft which makes it hard to land softly.
@@cryptiic2063 yes of course. But we're not talking about this scenario as this is called a crash landing. :D We are talking about people who landed 2-3 times in their life and think they have enough experience to say when a landing is good and when bad. I'm sure none of them know that a long float and late smooth touch down is way more risky especially in poor conditions than a firm touchdown which can be harder than you might expect from an aircraft and still be way below limits.
@@jemand8462 That's all true and I completely agree with everything that you've stated there. :D However, I think we should end this argument. Arguing about landings just seems a bit abnormal to me and in my opinion, harder, early landings are 100x better and safer than late, soft landings.
Right. With hindsight, landing with only 7 seconds to go til touchdown, it would have been better to go ahead and just land. But he got the plane stopped with no one killed. This could have turned out so much worse.
@@istra70 "Bad decision".... Maybe or maybe not. I don't know your level of experience and knowledge but It's so easy to make "office analysis". Only the outcome is valuable in aviation. In this one : everyone got out on their feet. Fly safe...
@@istra70 The urgency to land when it is not the correct decision is cited as a factor in accidents. The captain acted correctly. I won't judge his decision based on an unforeseen future event.
"About 86 starlings?" Dang those guys must be good. Counting the exact number, or even "about" the number must've been hard during an emergency landing. Hats off to the pilots and the bird counter.
The starlings' lawyer claimed he was putting together a class action suit, and all the important statistics, including all names and numbers and the losses of the surviving starlings, of this study come from his office-nest. Nothing more was heard of him after the aircraft's family announced they would be seeking an agreement with the starlings' lawyer. If ever you get on a plane and you see a fat starling, surrounded by lovely starlet starlings, downing champagne in the first-class cabin, you will understand that the agreement involved the starlings' lawyer receiving a large amount of cash, of which most was retained by the lawyer to cover his as yet unknown fees and expenses. As Italian law makes no specific mention of starlings the aggrieved starlings in this case could get no legal redress. However, you will notice that, of all the aircraft around a terminal building in any country in which starlings are a native species, any Ryanair aircraft will be covered in more bird-droppings than you will see on all the other aircraft put together. Sadly, some young, hot-headed starlings are now committing suicide by deliberately targetting the engines of all Ryanair planes they see entering their "patch". They are even disguising themselves as drones... If you do not believe me, well, show me any specific mention of "storni" in Italian law.
86 was the estimate from counting the bird parts found on the aircraft during the investigation, not in real time. The report had to be thorough but the authors also had to acknowledge the limitations of this type of evidence. Hence a precise number qualified by 'about'.
Excellent introduction, each of your intro's is related to the video, well done tfc. Wow, that could have turned out much worse than it did. Another great air crash video tfc, like always thank you for your time, hard work and for sharing.
All the people here forget that planes can do such thing as glide? With low fuel load, lower flap setting than usual, and late landing gear deployment, a landing without 2 engines is nothing too difficult, of course the hardest thing in this is keeping a minimal yet efficient glide slope, so you don’t loose much speed but loose the altitude slowly as well, a light 737 before landing can still do well at around 120 knots, probably even a bit lower, I don’t know cause I specialize my training efforts to Airbus A320s but the 737 definitely has a better glide profile than an A320. But the A320 doesn’t have something as cool as a MCAS that decides when it wants to do the vomit comet, or go 80 degrees pitch down... so yeah, I think I’ll stick with my A320s
M_Swizzy22 M_Swizzy22 - probably just as well you do stick with the A320 if you cannot differentiate between this 737 and the 737 Max that actually has the MCAS software issue.
Where was he going to glide to with only 150 altitude and already gear down and deadstick over the threshold of the runway?? Enquiring minds want to know how this marvel of aviation was to have a successful outcome.
:07 seconds from touchdown and he’s going around ? So he’s about 4 seconds from retarding “both” throttles. This is a case in which I would say; “Sometimes the best thing to do is ‘Nothing’ “ Just the loss of thrust would take up at least 3-4 seconds.
Daniel Williams yeah in my untutored mind yes go around if it’s possible to know about a potential bird strike when you’re still a mile out...otherwise just commit to the landing regardless.
I mean, in theory yeah that’s a great idea. But when you’re trained your entire career to go around when something isn’t right that’s going to be your first reaction, especially at such a critical phase. Theres no time to think “it will probably take 4 seconds for both engines to roll back and at that point we’ll be over the runway anyways, lets continue.” Things happen very quickly at 140 knots.
@@LC-bp9ri That would be my reaction too. Just about every other 'landing crash' account I've seen recently emphasises that the pilots should have gone around as soon as they realised there might be a problem, and tried the approach again; this is the one exceptional case.
I remember reading an interesting article about falconers who operate on behalf of the Frankfurt Airport to keep the other birds away . Falcons always stay away from planes and other birds usually flee the vicinity where falcons are present . But it didnt seem to be the case when I was ready to take off .
Well done Fredrick Colson (the pilot), it takes nerve and ability to handle a crisis situation like that, you'd think by now there would be some kind of technology to steer birds away from airports
Lol. The comment right above you says one that is in use now. Falconers deploy their falcons to scare off other birds, and the falcons are smart enough to not go near the plane. It’s a genius solution imo.
Seems like at 7 seconds from touch down you would go ahead and land even if you lost all power. Might hit a little harder than expected and no reverse thrust but better than what happened.
@Dion St. MichaelI am not ATP but I have PPL and I can tell you that is always better to fix problems on the ground than in the air, especially when you are so close to landing....
Mr. Big did you not notice I said SEEMS. For your apparently small brain that would indicate that I am not 100% sure of my statement. Everyone else got it.
Another interesting video on the flight channel. This bird strike reminded me of " Miracle On The Hudson". The Ryan Air pilots did a superb job of avoiding a potential catastrophe and saved the lives of all on board. Great job by the flight crew!
They should not have attempted a go-around with only 7 seconds til they would have touched down. Glad it didn't turn out worse, though. Good thing the landing gear failed.
This is a normal landing in Dublin (DUB) airport without the birds, Ryanairs pilots just aim at runway and close their eyes, they are afraid Michael O'Lesry will be waiting for them with his stop watch to time them, the plane must be back in the air within 40 minutes.
I don't know why people are complaining that Ryanair is a bad company,yes i know that they do such hard landings,but they landed and everyone survived.
Ryanair pilots are amazing👍👍 I've flew on Ryanair about 10 times and nothing has ever gone wrong! There was once we're I got really scared after a 5 hour delay. We asked a woman in front of us and she said that apparently something needs to be fixed soooooo obvs I was super scared on the plane😂😱😱Another time it was pitch dark, it was pouring rain and it really didn't look as if it was going to stop but we had the best and smoothest flight and landing ever👍thumbs up to Ryanair and its crew😊😊
Ryanair have a lot of hard landings as they mostly fly to small Airports with short runways.I will always be thankful to Ryanair for brining cheap air travel to Europe.
The same thing happened with our take off from Frankfurt Mainz airport . As we were reaching max speed and front liftoff was in progress , pigeons took off and entered the engine next to my seat on the left side and the blades shattered . The plane was very full and heavy and I stood up immediately and yelled to the sitting hostess to tell the pilots to stop , the left engine is shattered by birds and immediately she called and the planes front wheel banged hard on the runway and all leaned forward due to extreme breaking and we just just made it to the end of the runway .Im surprised that everyone who heard and saw it said nothing. We had to wait for a while before returning the plane back to the main building and change planes . No one said anything to me afterwards, so up to this day I dont know if I did the right thing or was I seen as arrogant and over reactive.Maybe someone will tell me one day .
What happens to the pilots while the investigation on-goes? Are they suspended until the end of the investigation or are they allowed to re-enter service while it's ongoing?
For an airline with almost 500 planes currently in service and decades of flight history, flight 4102 is the _only_ significant incident/accident listed for Ryanair. That's not an easy feat, especially for a low-cost operator.

Frank Davis yeah I have no idea what the difference between survivable and non survivable would be. But this one seems as though it would fall into the survivable side haha
@@LC-bp9riI watched a documentary recently.. Americans and Mexicans organized a crash of a passenger plane in the mexican desert a few years ago, and there were crash test dummies onboard. Some of those in the front section exceeded an acceleration on impact of about 8 G's for 20 or so milliseconds. The narrator said that for real people sitting in those seats, that crash most likely would have been unsurvivable. The rest of the dummies stayed below 6 G's.
It's not a crash it's an emergency landing
Can't wait to watch yet another video from the one and only flightchannel!!
What music in video
@@cojanrobert17 how the fuck should I know?
Nandoo lol
Nandoo relax he just asking bro
@@nso10monnn but why would he ask me, a random commenter than the creator of the video?
I wouldn't pin blame on the pilot for this ... but I would definitely not have initiated a go-around. The reason, of course, is that the airplane could definitely have landed safely with or without bird strikes, but bird strikes after a go-around decision could cause the airplane to crash after passing over the runway. Always better to make the choice that definitely avoids a crash.
max bootstrap --your logic is correct, except for the blame. The only reason he didn't crash was the quick engine failures. But if he had crashed and lives were lost, he certainly would (and should) have been blamed. Going around was a terrible decision.
@@tenpiloto : I watched again, and tend to agree with you. But I don't think either of us know with sufficient precision some details that make a difference in how reasonable was a go-around. For example, from the viewpoint of the pilots and copilot, did it look near certain they could avoid all the birds if they initiated the go-around. After watching again, I tend to agree with you because the video claims the go-around was initiated only 7 seconds before touchdown. That is too close to the runway to justify trying to miss a large flock of birds by flying above them. Nonetheless, in cases like these, the chances we are actually getting every last detail, and getting them all accurately ... isn't very high. From my experience, almost all reports (especially youtube video type reports) tend to omit important details.
What I find interesting is the issue of how decisions should be made. One approach is to memorize thousands of pages of airplane manufacturer and airline rules, then try to remember them in an instant when something strange happens. Another approach is to remember a few simple but reliable "cliches" like ... when landing if something wacky happens and you can still land safely ... *just land!* Don't try to remember rules and don't try to work out the situation logically. If you can land safely, then land.
A few simple rules of prudence like this are often more valuable than 1000s of pages of written material. This is a case where that is very clear. Not every case can be covered by simple cliches or rules of thumb like this.
The passengers were extremely lucky the engines failed when they did. Had he gained much more altitude, and say the engines failed at 500ft. The plane could have dropped out of the sky like a pebble, killing everyone. The pilots were idiots in this one, imo
@@DavidL1986 : That's close to what happened in Pakistan recently.
You guys have no clue what you’re talking about, the report concluded that the crew made the correct decision. The Captain judged the approach path as unsafe, and as such initiated a go-around... this is before any strike occurred.. it was only there after once the go around had been initiated the aircraft was struck. If for some reason the overran the RWY with multiple bird strikes they would be have been scolded for not going around.
It was a split second decision, and they followed the correct procedure.
this is why ryanair is safest airliner: They get more training for the engines than landings
Ryanair only has hard landings because the 737 wasn't built for soft ones, the gear is shorter than most other aircraft which makes it hard to land softly.
It doesn’t matter if a landing is soft or not!!!
@@jemand8462 Well it does matter, if you land too hard you're just gonna destroy the aircraft.
@@cryptiic2063 yes of course. But we're not talking about this scenario as this is called a crash landing. :D
We are talking about people who landed 2-3 times in their life and think they have enough experience to say when a landing is good and when bad. I'm sure none of them know that a long float and late smooth touch down is way more risky especially in poor conditions than a firm touchdown which can be harder than you might expect from an aircraft and still be way below limits.
@@jemand8462 That's all true and I completely agree with everything that you've stated there. :D
However, I think we should end this argument. Arguing about landings just seems a bit abnormal to me and in my opinion, harder, early landings are 100x better and safer than late, soft landings.
Man, the work put into these videos is astounding! Thank you for the time and energy you put into these.
Good outcome! You can criticize the pilots split second decisions but they got everyone down safely. Respect!
Right. With hindsight, landing with only 7 seconds to go til touchdown, it would have been better to go ahead and just land. But he got the plane stopped with no one killed. This could have turned out so much worse.
@@abc-wv4in I agree with you but if you were in the pilot seat and saw the birds you probably wouldn't of made the best of decisions
@@luckysharma5319 Oh, I totally agree on that. Split second decisions are always hard, whether you're a pilot, policeman, rescuer, or whoever.
“Luck” was definitely their best friend on that landing. Another first class production by The Flight Channel!👍
I imagine there were a few pilgrims praying their rosaries to Rome among the neo pagans...what was the condition of the tires???
Totally lucky. Go around ( so close to touch down )was very bad decision .....
@@istra70 "Bad decision".... Maybe or maybe not. I don't know your level of experience and knowledge but It's so easy to make "office analysis". Only the outcome is valuable in aviation. In this one : everyone got out on their feet. Fly safe...
@@istra70 The urgency to land when it is not the correct decision is cited as a factor in accidents. The captain acted correctly. I won't judge his decision based on an unforeseen future event.

Yep
Good to see those magic and welcome words appear on the screen “Everyone Survived”
"About 86 starlings?" Dang those guys must be good. Counting the exact number, or even "about" the number must've been hard during an emergency landing. Hats off to the pilots and the bird counter.
The starlings' lawyer claimed he was putting together a class action suit, and all the important statistics, including all names and numbers and the losses of the surviving starlings, of this study come from his office-nest. Nothing more was heard of him after the aircraft's family announced they would be seeking an agreement with the starlings' lawyer. If ever you get on a plane and you see a fat starling, surrounded by lovely starlet starlings, downing champagne in the first-class cabin, you will understand that the agreement involved the starlings' lawyer receiving a large amount of cash, of which most was retained by the lawyer to cover his as yet unknown fees and expenses. As Italian law makes no specific mention of starlings the aggrieved starlings in this case could get no legal redress. However, you will notice that, of all the aircraft around a terminal building in any country in which starlings are a native species, any Ryanair aircraft will be covered in more bird-droppings than you will see on all the other aircraft put together. Sadly, some young, hot-headed starlings are now committing suicide by deliberately targetting the engines of all Ryanair planes they see entering their "patch". They are even disguising themselves as drones...
If you do not believe me, well, show me any specific mention of "storni" in Italian law.
@@towmlvb3423 Too Funny! Thank you Hieronimus!
86 was the estimate from counting the bird parts found on the aircraft during the investigation, not in real time. The report had to be thorough but the authors also had to acknowledge the limitations of this type of evidence. Hence a precise number qualified by 'about'.
Excellent introduction, each of your intro's is related to the video, well done tfc. Wow, that could have turned out much worse than it did. Another great air crash video tfc, like always thank you for your time, hard work and for sharing.
All the people here forget that planes can do such thing as glide? With low fuel load, lower flap setting than usual, and late landing gear deployment, a landing without 2 engines is nothing too difficult, of course the hardest thing in this is keeping a minimal yet efficient glide slope, so you don’t loose much speed but loose the altitude slowly as well, a light 737 before landing can still do well at around 120 knots, probably even a bit lower, I don’t know cause I specialize my training efforts to Airbus A320s but the 737 definitely has a better glide profile than an A320.
But the A320 doesn’t have something as cool as a MCAS that decides when it wants to do the vomit comet, or go 80 degrees pitch down... so yeah, I think I’ll stick with my A320s
M_Swizzy22 M_Swizzy22 - probably just as well you do stick with the A320 if you cannot differentiate between this 737 and the 737 Max that actually has the MCAS software issue.
I thought a320 had a better glide ratio than the b737
Where was he going to glide to with only 150 altitude and already gear down and deadstick over the threshold of the runway?? Enquiring minds want to know how this marvel of aviation was to have a successful outcome.
Clever use of both P3d and Xplane to create a realistic representation of this incident. Really well done!
7:07 the best part! When a sigh of joy comes out of me when reading it! Thank god 🤲😁
That's the smoothest Ryan air landing I've ever seen
james Lambshead so smooth that it came on the news
Ryanair have better landings
:07 seconds from touchdown and he’s going around ? So he’s about 4 seconds from retarding “both” throttles. This is a case in which I would say; “Sometimes the best thing to do is ‘Nothing’ “ Just the loss of thrust would take up at least 3-4 seconds.
Daniel Williams yeah in my untutored mind yes go around if it’s possible to know about a potential bird strike when you’re still a mile out...otherwise just commit to the landing regardless.
Any pilots on board?
I would totally agree. But thankfully there were no casualties
I mean, in theory yeah that’s a great idea. But when you’re trained your entire career to go around when something isn’t right that’s going to be your first reaction, especially at such a critical phase. Theres no time to think “it will probably take 4 seconds for both engines to roll back and at that point we’ll be over the runway anyways, lets continue.” Things happen very quickly at 140 knots.
@@LC-bp9ri That would be my reaction too. Just about every other 'landing crash' account I've seen recently emphasises that the pilots should have gone around as soon as they realised there might be a problem, and tried the approach again; this is the one exceptional case.
Captain of the flight : *Takeoff/ Go around power*
Birds: *WE ARE NOT LETTING YOU DO THAT!!*
Attacks the plane's Engines *Angry Birds Style*
Is ur pfp titanic
I live in Ciampino. Didn't know about it till a year later. Now they use sound alarms to scare off birds. Nice graphics by the way!
I remember reading an interesting article about falconers who operate on behalf of the Frankfurt Airport to keep the other birds away . Falcons always stay away from planes and other birds usually flee the vicinity where falcons are present . But it didnt seem to be the case when I was ready to take off .
That is a very clever solution!
Love your videos man you put so much effort into making them, good work!
Yes correct
Gigel Dorel hey you watch Flight channel cool
In memory of the left landing gear that lost his live
Well done Fredrick Colson (the pilot), it takes nerve and ability to handle a crisis situation like that, you'd think by now there would be some kind of technology to steer birds away from airports
Shotguns
Lol. The comment right above you says one that is in use now. Falconers deploy their falcons to scare off other birds, and the falcons are smart enough to not go near the plane. It’s a genius solution imo.
86 starlings vs a plane, the results may (not) surprise you! Great video! Keep up the great work.
A "good landing" is when everyone on board walks away!
a good landing is when you can exit the aircraft
a perfect landing is when you can fly the plane the next day
Very professional job the sound the graphics the explanations etc very high level. Like in reality. Congrats one of the best channels in utube
“The Landing was Firm and Forced”

If you get on a Ryanair plane you better expect a neck breaking landing, especially when you're out of engines

@@77l96 I'd rather took Emirates, or train, or ship, tbh
Seems like at 7 seconds from touch down you would go ahead and land even if you lost all power. Might hit a little harder than expected and no reverse thrust but better than what happened.
I agree. Glad it turned out no one was killed.
@Dion St. Michael He is correct and most pilots would agree with that.
@Dion St. MichaelI am not ATP but I have PPL and I can tell you that is always better to fix problems on the ground than in the air, especially when you are so close to landing....
He probably performed the Go-around to avoid hitting the birds all together instead of fyling directly into them
Mr. Big did you not notice I said SEEMS. For your apparently small brain that would indicate that I am not 100% sure of my statement. Everyone else got it.
Another interesting video on the flight channel. This bird strike reminded me of " Miracle On The Hudson". The Ryan Air pilots did a superb job of avoiding a potential catastrophe and saved the lives of all on board. Great job by the flight crew!
They should not have attempted a go-around with only 7 seconds til they would have touched down. Glad it didn't turn out worse, though. Good thing the landing gear failed.
I flew Ryan Air Copenhagen- Rome October 2019 one of the most smooth flyings and landing I’ve ever tried 👍🏼
This is a regular flight on Ryanair, Nothing wrong TBH
when we going Tahiti Dutch?
If they regularly write off aeroplanes, it's no wonder they charge you to breathe during a flight anywhere with them!
Snob
Agreed
This is a normal landing in Dublin (DUB) airport without the birds, Ryanairs pilots just aim at runway and close their eyes, they are afraid Michael O'Lesry will be waiting for them with his stop watch to time them, the plane must be back in the air within 40 minutes.
If I were on that flight, I would have spilled my espresso!

The same thing happened with our take off from Frankfurt Mainz airport . As we were reaching max speed and front liftoff was in progress , pigeons took off and entered the engine next to my seat on the left side and the blades shattered . The plane was very full and heavy and I stood up immediately and yelled to the sitting hostess to tell the pilots to stop , the left engine is shattered by birds and immediately she called and the planes front wheel banged hard on the runway and all leaned forward due to extreme breaking and we just just made it to the end of the runway .Im surprised that everyone who heard and saw it said nothing. We had to wait for a while before returning the plane back to the main building and change planes . No one said anything to me afterwards, so up to this day I dont know if I did the right thing or was I seen as arrogant and over reactive.Maybe someone will tell me one day .
