[Hardly Satisfied]

I would have crapped my pants if I was in that plane

 

[Thunderhead1]

Nothing like "drifting" a couple hundred ton airplane.... try that Tokyo drifters!!!

 

[Icky]

And this is why I always drink when I fly:drink

 

[JDKRXW]

That was friggin awesome. :thumbsup
It wasn't just the crosswind, it was the gusts.
I didn't think the rudder on that 380 could move that fast..... and I think he burned off half of his tire tread on that one landing.

 

[RitcheyRch]

That's crazy and I would have been screaming like a little girl.

 

[JD D05]

Fuk that shit I hate flying period.

 

[SBMech]

Hah. Exactly why I drink when flying.

 

[nowski]

I remember experiencing a very hard landing at LAX years ago. We hit so hard I'm surprised it didn't damage the landing gear. When exiting the plane there were a couple of stewardess's there to greet us as we exited the plane. I asked, alright which one of you girls landed this plane??? We all lol'd...

 

[ElAzul]

Those tires weren't the only things laying skid marks :eek

 

[2Driver]

The rudder is all over the place

I was thinking more like Planekahna. Suck it Ken Block! Lol!

 

[4Waters]

Imagine the lateral G-Force the people in the back of the plane felt.

I LOVE bumpy turbulent flights! ESP when the floor drops out from under you and you lose 5000 ft in seconds.

 

[RiverDave]

I wouldn't have flown home... lol. I would drive, boat, etc..

 

[Flying_Lavey]

I wouldn't have flown home... lol. I would drive, boat, etc..

But then Stacy would pull your big boy pants out of your bag and you'd get right on that plane and head home. Lol!!

 

[JD D05]

I wouldn't have flown home... lol. I would drive, boat, etc..

I flew home form LA one time and on the approach the plane kept dropping altitude hard than rise hard, water bottles were bouncing down the isle. I had to get right back on a plane for work and take the same flight path 30 min later...I called my boss and said I was not coming fuck that not doing it.

 

[Spudsbud]

we were forced to land and wait in Indie because of bad weather in Chicago. After an hour + wait, off we go only to get caught in more, they diverted us to Midway. I rememeber the pilot coming on and telling us we had to circle and wait because he requested the longest runway...... coming around to land there was no slowing down as usual. big planes get blown around easy as they slow their approach speed when landing.
This guy had balls. He "flew" the plane onto the runway. Under power. Landed rough but straight. Well done I thought. When leaving He's standing there, thanks, thanks... etc.. I said to him, "Carriers?".... He just smiled.....
gotta love Navy pilots !

 

[wzuber]

That's a badass pilot right there, friken incredible job staying on it and bringing those passengers, crew and craft home safely to their families.

+1, 100%.......[emoji106] [emoji202]

 

[Enen]

That pilot will exceed the maximum weight of a smaller plane with the stones he's walking around with.

 

[Cray Paper]

United Arab Emerites pilot, bet he's a he and used to landing in conditions like that.

 

[Cray Paper]

If it aint Boeing, I aint going.

[video=youtube;CjuiB8JPFC4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjuiB8JPFC4[/video]

Watch the flaps on the left wing. Must have been brutal for the passengers, talk about spinal compression.

 

[SOCALCRICKETT]

Imagine the lateral G-Force the people in the back of the plane felt.

Like shaking a cricket in a mason jar

 

[Dan Lorenze]

I'm always amazed at how much load the landing gear can handle, that thing slammed to the ground.

 

[Yellowboat]

funny thing about that, most large planes max landing weight is way under their max take off. that's why they have too dump fuel when they have too land before planned.

 

[bobbytheboozer]

After working in the field that i work in, id rather drive everywhere than fly.

Empty I think that ol girl is every bit of 300ton. :yikes

Yea have little faith.

Cars are put together with little redundancy.

If it ain't Boeing, I aint goin.

Wow. I'm really surprised at how much the pilot was working the rudder. The people in the back must have been slammed around pretty bad.

Watch this video of another Emirates A380 landing at Manchester, which is known for its crazy crosswinds. This pilot keeps the aircraft steady on approach without all of the rudder gymnastics and kicks out the crab right at the flare. This is how it's supposed to be done.

Wing flex on an A380.

I much prefer that they flex rather than break...!

 

[underpressure]

I've sat in the captains chair on an A380 (while on the ground). It's a long way up, can't really even see the ground from that angle. Fly by computer...

Nice landing in a steady crosswind.
It's a different ball game in the first vid with the huge wind gusts. the frst guy did what he had to do.

Yep, although the second was graceful, in relatively better conditions, both were still perfect landings.

I'm not a big fan of Airbus. The reason Air Canada and the Canadian Air Force have a large fleet of their planes. Well our Prime Minister took "money" from Air Bus to "lobby" Air Canada and the Air Force too buy Air Bus planes. Since it would also generate employment in my electoral district. Rolls Royce was saved from bankruptcy because they built an engine plant near Montreal. Net he took bribes but didn't legally. So he can't be prosecuted...... I will not fly on Air Bus aircraft or Canadian owned airlines. Oh and he got out of paying taxes on the "income" as well.

At least Germany prosecuted the Air Bus lobbyist who gave The Right Honorable Brian Mulroney the $380k in cash we know about in a brown paper bag..........

I also don't like new stuff. Like basically video screens for gauges, etc. Even on boats. I don't like fuel injection and computer Mercury Smart Craft control on fast boats and sports cars. I like being a Bofin Old Chap........................................

The gusts weren't "huge". According to a METAR I saw on another forum, the winds were 20 kts with 32 kt gusts. A twelve knot gust can't impart significant yaw on a A380.

The pilot manufactured the yaw. He was using the rudder, and on Airbus aircraft the flight computer is already controlling the descent. His inputs made the computer respond with larger and larger contrary rudder movements. Notice the rudder input was large deflections both right and left.

I've never seen gusts that occurred with the frequency indicated by the rudder deflections. They don't happen every four or five seconds. He was over controlling and PCIO (pilot/computer induced oscillation) was the result IMO (I don't have a A380 endorsement on my certificate).

Here are some comments by actual Airbus pilots about aircraft control in gusty landing approaches.

I must confess being a roller coaster junky I'da loved being on that plane.
Ya hang onto the seat pocket in front of you with one hand and hold your other hand up like a bull rider.

They do that test until the wing snaps off, to see how far it will go. I saw it a Mcdonell Douglas when one went.

 

[AzGeo]

I worked on or rode in, crashed in Sony Studios .

That was a few years ago .

It would impart the same yaw on any aircraft.

You don't lose 5000' in seconds. It may feel that way but its not even close. In reality its 20-100 ft if at cruz altitude.

Yes I know that. Was not my point. I love bumpy violent flights!

Not according to Newton's Second Law.

.

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

I'm currently working on my pilots license with the goal to fly a Citation Mustang in the next year or so. Literally sitting here learning how to manually figure density altitude, take off, and landing calculations by hand.

The technology is so advanced now-a-days. I can run these calculations in milliseconds on my iPhone and link it to an airplane with a glass cockpit. The old stuff is cool, but it is really hard to argue against the convenience of modern tech.
