Hi Felix, this window seat footage is truly a work of art. The sounds, the cloud studies, the duration, its all enthralling stuff. I'm an artist and a big fan of McDD equipment, particularly the DC-9 family. I love this video
@1091Alcatraz Pilots sometimes have to do this in order to keep the aircraft steady when the wind does not blow constantly or changes its direction. In this case we were experiencing some strong headwinds which suddelny appeared and disappeared again (wind shear). In order to maintain the airspeed at a constant level, the captain was forced to do these power changes.
idk, i just assumed since there are so many flights these days with crashes. You know the news always talks about the bad and u hardly ever see the good. So thanks for sharing something good. :D
@MrFlightnoob thank you for pointing that out to me, I always thought the term windshear described suddenly upcoming wind, no matter from what direction.
@1091Alcatraz This can also be done if he needs to cut throttle if the rate of descent is increased in oder to maintain a certain speed. Then when it flattens out a bit he will increase to keep from stalling.
Hey Felix nice vid thanks for uploading a great quality video.Any reason why the pilot was hitting max thrust whilst in the air? and then just stopped and then just did it again?
windshear can be dangerous if you get the tailwind, which the pilot compensates for with increased speed; then the middle which can be normal; and then a violent headwind which the pilot reduces engine speed to compensate for. This is extremely dangerous when close to the ground because there is no margin for error or compensation and the plane can be forced into the ground.
I have a fear about sitting in the back of MD-80's. I always fear that the intake fans may somehow slice into the fuselage... I know, its ridiculous, but I still fly them when I have to. Its just something I fear may happen.
@Cinlouxx yes and no. i mean your acually going faster than it looks, because of how high you are. but when ur at cruising altitude you go about 500 mph. but then you slow down to between 100 and 200 mph. and takeoff speeds are at about 250mph. haha. but the plane will always stay in the air. haha.

This was an EXCELLENT landing!!!
THAT WAS GREASED! GOOD JOB!
Thanks for uploading! Great quality and nice landing!
I love DFW. I love the noises of MD80's I always feel safe they are very consistant.
That looked like a really smooth landing. Great vid, enjoyed it.
I just love that sound, ; ),!!awesome vid!!
Great audio too. I like to hear those subtle throttle adjustments. Means the cockpit crew's earning their keep. :)
Interesting. I flew in to DFW last week. I'm not so comfortable flying. It's Amazing feeling of relief when it finally lands.

Beautiful landing.

@MrFlightnoob a gentle correction to your comment. Windshear is typically (vertical and/or horizontal shear) when you have winds
windshear can be dangerous if you get the tailwind, which the pilot compensates for with increased speed; then the middle which can be normal; and then a violent headwind which the pilot reduces engine speed to compensate for. This is extremely dangerous when close to the ground because there is no margin for error or compensation and the plane can be forced into the ground.
DFW FTW!!1
MD 82 is my favourite plane ever
MD 82 FTW
Okay, yea always nice to see a good landing. I was scared for a moment that i was going to see something bad. PHEW!!!! :)
Very good ! Amazing.
dallas ft. is such a big terminal it takes me 40 minutes just to find my gates.
is there some kind of weather in this vid? looked beautiful out to me.
Looks like you got the best seat in the house...err plane. Could you here anything afterwards?
Those engines just sing me to sleep when I sit back there.
Does it really go that slow? sorry if this is a stupid question. I never been to an airport or been in a plane before.
NICE:D
i loooove MD's
nice video :)
what gave you that impression?

It has happened.

There was never an actual plane designated an MD-80. There are MD-81's, 82's, 83's, 87's and 88's. And the MD-90's and 95's (717's)
@SouthOne525
Well...that's one word for it I suppose...LOL! Wild Texas weather is more to the point...
Man the back of an MD-80 is loud.
just strong head winds on final.
Scary... just scary. :D
the newss always talks about the bad yes but do you really think the'll talk about a good landing in dallas think about it...
hes talking about chicago lol
dallas/fort worth weather is amazin
@winerts same here.
love
about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
I'll bet you were glad to be back in God's Country!
D: scaryy!!! i dont like airplanes!
aa is worst company in world
