Float planes like the cessna at the end do this when they come into an airport for maintenance. The engineer then puts them onto portable wheels to conduct the maintenance, and they take off with those wheels dropping away before they head back to their water base.
I never knew they could do that. I thought the grass would provide enough friction for this to be dangerous (nose over), and assumed it was an emergency (or at least forced) landing.
It would be more impressive to land on the wheels then 🙂 As an engineer, I'd appreciate the challenge of designing a cart that autonomously tracks with the bottom of the plane once it flew over the threshold.
1:07 "In the airforce, I always enjoyed a zoom climb after takeoff." "Yes, captain, but you're not flying fighters any longer, but a 777." "Yes, but we have no passengers, nor cargo today..." 🙂
@@AW-xj4un It is Birmingham Airport. It's looking down runway 33. The people you can see are standing at the airport viewing area in Sheldon Country Park Source: I work at bhx
@@AW-xj4un Yep it sure is BHX. Bear in mind this is taken through a telephoto lens so the runway looks like it has severe subsidence. Also, the four white apt blocks in the distance with the dark strip down them are at Lyndhurst Estate in Erdington
Runways are not flat. The zoom lens of the spotter is causing a compression effect making everything appear closer than it really is, amplifying any vertical variations.
The first landing, I can understand why they went around, but it looked like he had it sorted. Sorta surprised he did the go around. The second was the other way round, looked like he HAD to go around. The steep take off reminds me of a flight out of London, the weather was atrocious and I was surprised we took off, as we were rolling down the runway, and rolling, and rolling....going pretty damn fast, "Oh oh" I thought, sat up straight and put my head back. Sure enough, at rotation we went up like an express elevator. Pilot REALLY wanted us off the ground with no hesitation. The landing in Austria was also fun. The left main, right main, and nose wheels came down as 3 completely separate steps, with a second or two between each. Very smooth contacts though.
The first landing was on the shorter "crosswind" runway 16 at Dublin. It did look like the pilot had it sorted but probably decided to go around because they weren't happy with the amount of runway remaining.
it's not actually as hilly as you'd think. Just the way the camera foreshortens the distance, bear in mind its very nearly two miles long. (around 1.9 miles)
It did NOT "go wrong". This skilled pilot aborted his landing, and just made the choice to have a second try. Only if you destroy your plane by crashing it next to the landing strip - nothing has gone "wrong" yet!!✌🏻
Well, the pilots intended to land. But due to the windshear, it made the landing go wrong. That's why they went around. You don't go around when things are looking right now, do you?
Regarding the 150 with floaties...we have pics of my grandpa's plane back in the 1950-60's with ski's on his plane so he could fly in the winter. They mounted to the wheels so no modifications had to be made to the plane. :) Cool stuff!
Has nobody told you that runways aren't actually flat? Very long runways have noticeable dips and hills when looked at lengthways, completely normal and doesn't affect landing
@@faultedsixsiege2676 Most runways look more or less like that if photographed that far with a telephoto lense. Even 0,5% slopes can do a lot when you have a 3km long strip. That's why aerodome obstacle charts have also the runway profile. Only somewhat uncommon part is that it has many humps. Most runways have just one: either a dip or hump in the middle
Not a pilot or ATC with the opportunity to be bored with watching big jets and tricky landings. In my small islands corner of the planet ATRs potter about on flights of 10-30odd mintes - local bus service, in fact. Without the disadvantage of knowledge and experience I enjoy every 2 minutes 58 seconds.
That 777 will have maximum reduced thrust of -40% and probably flap 15 or 20. After that it’s just hold on and try not to bust any altitudes because you’ll be passing 3000 in 60 seconds or so. V/S should take care of that.
I can`t repeat what I said to myself for the first two videos, something along the lines of copulating in hell come to mind. Many years ago, on a flight from Riyadh to Jeddah crossing the Taif escarpment the plane hit a wind-shear turbulence, the results were that many of the passengers who were unbuckled left their seats, locker compartments opened scattering contents on the floor and lots of screaming. For me in a window seat securely bucked up the only effects was tasting my dinner again and admiring the strong lighten flashing in the sky
As a retired airline pilot i can tell these landings are being performed not by a highly experienced pilot. The reaction times are to slow and so the pilots are just along for the ride.
Positional flight. That steep climb had no passengers. All the equipment in the galley and etc is all strapped down. The crew and the plane need to be in a different city tomorrow morning for logistical purposes. There are dozens of people keeping track of every hour of flight for personnel and for planes to keep the schedule as complete as possible. This positioning is a daily occurrence.
Is it my untrained eye or is it a fact that B737 pilots are , relative to their competitors, able to handle crosswinds during landings better ? I have seen so many videos where the B737 does a better job of landing on the runway during a particular weather event and the Airbus equivalent has to go around. Is it something to do with the control column/rudder pedal set up as well?
The title is: "Landing Goes Wrong" We could not resist a little clickbait, did we? 0:12 - 0:34 if there is a problem, rejected landing (go-around) is nothing "Gone Wrong" if safely initiated. At 0:45 it was a perfect landing, without danger or damage. Of course, if you had to control the plane against the wind, you should not forget to straighten it on the ground.

Every float plane i've seen has wheels built into the float, water landing wheels up, ground wheels down! Get it wrong and it flips forward
@@Zzrdemon6633 Yes - they are amphibious planes. Pure floats are cheaper, and a lot less maintenance in salt water environments.
It would be more impressive to land on the wheels then 🙂 As an engineer, I'd appreciate the challenge of designing a cart that autonomously tracks with the bottom of the plane once it flew over the threshold.
thanks for answering my question before I even asked :)
0:28 I like how the text just below the point of the nose, makes the airplane look like 🙂. I can't unsee it.
More like a smirk 😏
I can’t wait until you see pictures of PSA.
Oh my, Disney's Planes 3 is apparently going to be done in a MUCH more realistic style than the first two...
Good catch.
for me it looks more like 😐
1:07 "In the airforce, I always enjoyed a zoom climb after takeoff."
"Yes, captain, but you're not flying fighters any longer, but a 777."
"Yes, but we have no passengers, nor cargo today..." 🙂
I remember well ferrying an empty DC10-30 with only 20 tonnes of fuel from Gatwick to Manchester - it was like a rocket ship !!
I much prefer listening to the plane spotter in this one opposed to the British guy who goes "BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!" when an aileron as much as moves
I thought the same thing. Like yeah, let's have this spotter narrate (without music of course) various landings.
Omg yes, Big Jet (the other dude) is SO obnoxious and completely ruins every single video
I prefer the Brit
@@nightrock4713that is what makes him different
0:48 Holy crosswind Batman! Pilot needs a crosswind-landing Gold Medal.
That’s not BHX. No hills near Birmingham Airport and the runway is flat. Good pilot skills, but it’s not at BHX.

The Lufthansa pilot remembered he left the iron on...
The sound I am hearing right now in my house is my laughter bouncing off the walls - thank you.
I thought he forgot to release the parking brake, that's why he never got close to V1.
1:00 forget the crosswind - WTH is wrong with that runway??? LOL
Someone forgot to do the ironing
On slow days it's a rollercoaster test track.
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed this.

0:57 I've never seen a runway so hilly
Birmingham BHX
its actually pretty common.
i've flown in and out of birmingham (as a passenger lol, not as a pilot), and you do not notice it at all. the crosswinds, absolutely.
The builders forgot to use a level.
it's not actually as hilly as you'd think. Just the way the camera foreshortens the distance, bear in mind its very nearly two miles long. (around 1.9 miles)
0:35 "not going to Butter"
Captain - " ok , going around"
no butter, no landing.....don´t want to tarnish the A330´s reputation LOL

Oh, it's so tricky sometimes with those darn winds and wind sheers! 😐 . Much credit to all of you amazing pilots out there! 💝
Does the wind ever stop blowing in Birmingham?
Thank you for putting my local airport, Birmingham in
You should move to Manchester airport mate 🫡
Ooof, that drop at 0:48 must have felt terrifying as a passenger. Insane save by the pilot.
Aer Lingus looks more like pilot induced roll oscillation which they salvaged and made a smooth touchdown and THEN went around. Why ???

Sounds like my Lear 24 days from 25 years ago. 😂
Is the pilot trying to avoid the wake from the previous aircrafts takeoff?
@@tedstrikertwa800 no.
great video as always
Copied by so many others - but there is only one ORIGINAL 3 Minutes of Aviation - please keep it up.
He landed on those floats...but he ain't taking off on those floats!!!
Thanks for the feature!
Amazing video as always!
Glad you enjoyed it!
No way! Exact 3 minutes!
that camera angle really shows how unsmooth some runways are!
I’d say this is a smooth landing for this condition

Aer Lingus has a very diverse flight roster. So they got that going for them😂
A routine go around. Air speed decreased to an uncomfortable degree during the last correction.
0:49 I thought this plane ✈️ was going to do a 360 just before landing 🛬
The 737 had an even worse windshear and drop than the A330 and still managed to land.
wrong title, nothing goes wrong
Ikr such a great channel but for some reason it resorts to click baity titles recently
@jwijn No, nothing went wrong… except for the landing.💩💩🤷♂️🤡🤦♂️🙄
Thanks for the heads up. I won’t waste time on this video.
Right title planes don't land like that normally
That Cessna is DEFINITELY gonna need full power to taxi to the ramp...
how will the Cessna take off with the friction from the sleds on grass?
The D-ABTL 747 1'35 : Is it a crack between engine and wing ?
one of the wildest ones yet
Asiana on finals looks like Sydney? Very late landing zone it appears but it is 16 L by the looks of it

Awesome, thank you!
That Enter Air Boeing :40 😮 i cant believe that pilot didn't reject the landing... Dude is wild!!!
DEI ! so great for the airline industry!
Idiots love to quote DEI as an explanation for why they are failing
0:13 Note how small these A330's engines look.
Notice on the last one how the pilot had full deflection on the elevators during the rollout.
Never seen a 150 on floats. Single-digit useful load, I guess.
Lufthansa rejected takeoff because the pilot just learned his mother-in-law was waiting for him in Frankfort
😂
Great video!
where aerosucre?
RUclips is shadow banging people from this channel, my notifications are on and your vids don't
come up
Nice set of vids
2:23 Good thing the Asiana plane did not do a flippy floppy before touchdown 🙌🏻🤗

Watching the plane's wings flex just before the go around, it almost looks like the jet was flapping its wings to gain height. 🤭
@1.30 First passenger to Second passenger "Wow, are we there already? - that was quick!"
Rare footage of an A330 not buttering
Lufthansa 747: Nope. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.
That 2nd runway looked more like a Rallycross Track!
Runway "centerline" not axis
"Positioning flight" ...means there's no pax onboard?
No pass ... No heavy cargo... Light as a feather ! Could have taken off with 2 engines.
Awesome performances.
'And if you look out of the windows on the left hand side of the plane you can see the runway we are supposed to be landing on'
Laziest ever 3MOA title!
"Damn...the water looks quite green today"
Goes wrong? Everything went right. The crew made the correct decision to go around.
The Aer Lingus did not need to go around, it was already on the runway.
Im guessing your not familiar with safe landing policy
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 you're
Does not make me want to fly.
The title is misleading!! The landings were very right as there were no damage or injuries! Perhaps scary, but didn’t go wrong!

Form good habits as a pilot. Stay safe.
At least the rain won't collect on that runway..there's no flat spots......

Wow the enter airways landing showed up as a short whilst I was watching this
It is like landing in Las Vegas...mountain air currents and very thin air.😂
What the hell is the weather in the UK always either rainy or windy?
It's the UK, innit.
Re Lufthansa 747 ..reportedly the pilot left his Schnitzel at the airport cafeteria.
A go around AFTER a touchdown!!! I'm not flying that airline (Aer Lingus)
Far from 'going wrong', most of the clips highlight the piloting skills involved. Good vid though 👌
Didn't "go wrong", just "not stable", so TOGA. Was a quite normal procedure.
Wind was so strong it wrinkled up the runway.
0:18 Look mom! No hands!
Nice video
Hahaha 😂
@@virtual-atcwhy is that funny?
Can anyone explain why the AA 777 did such a steep rapid climb?
No load to carry

Very nice
The 777 is beautiful.
Yes, it is, even with the "ugly flag" livery.
You ages ago used to narrate your videos. You had an interesting voice.
great vid!
The first two were examples of an approach that became unstable long before the pilot rejected the landing to go around. Poor airmanship in my view!
2nd video is well impressive
