Ah, yes, the crosswind crab knob. As a former B-52 pilot I remember it. You could set up to 20 degrees of crab. However, I never used more than a couple degrees.
The 747 has taken my breath away ever since a group of us teenagers heard one was going to be at SFO in about 1969. We had only seen the plane in pictures in magazines or newspapers. We drove on the Hayward-San Mateo Bridge across the San Francisco Bay and there she was. She was, to say the least, HUGE. I remember, as we piled out of my VW bus that there were words like WOW!...That's huge...No way! We stayed there, parked next to the airport fence and had a few beers and some joints and felt like we had seen something so cool. WE HAD! To this day (at 73) I think she is 'The Queen of the Sky'. Someday there will be no 747's flying. That will be a sad day indeed. Like the Wright Flyer, like Lindberg's Ryan, and like the DC-3, the 747 marks a time in aviation history. I'm proud to say I have flown on her wings.
On that 47 windshear, you could litterly see the wind change direction by looking at the trees and grass right before the attempted landing and after. Awsome footage.
Holy moly that rejected takeoff....being a pilot and knowing about the Tenerife disaster must make that call one of the most frightening calls to hear. Reject your takeoff because somebody unauthorised is on the runway? Bone-chilling. I love the B-52 though, my goal is to see one in person some day!
The operator of that training aircraft is going to have some serious 'splaining to do. There's a good chance that that action is a loss-of-license event.
@@andymanaus1077 I'm presuming it would have to be a mistake on the part of the learner, because I'm also presuming airports are made to avoid that kind of mistake and an instructor wouldn't be susceptible to that sort of error. Would that still be a loss of license or could there be leniency because of inexperience?
@@jjmetrejhon1743 That's a really good question. I really don't know the answer. Many airports have taxiways that cross runways, so vigilance is essential. Runway incursions are one of the most serious breaches a pilot can make and it is drilled into student pilots to NEVER cross a runway without ATC authorisation. The trainer definitely should have been listening to ATC instructions and as such, should have been screaming at the trainee to stop what they were doing. If the student turned onto the runway so suddenly that the trainer had no time to react, he may have instructed the student to power up and get off the runway ASAP but it's all speculation. We really don't know the circumstances.
Yeah it's so cool to see the flashes above and below the airplane. I've seen it once on approach to Frankfurt, little turbulence but the clouds and lightning looked insane in the sunset.
I'll never forget my once and only time seeing it flying to Spain as a kid. It's both scary and God fearing beautiful at the same time. Hope you get your chance soon. 👍
well what's interesting about it, the lightning flashes the cumulonimbus cloud, and you can see it's towering very high in the sky, and deep inside, you know it won't be nice to fly pass through it, because flying around it is already a very bumpy ride 😅
If anybody's wondering why passenger airliners don't have the B-52's handy ability to rotate their landing gear to cope with extreme crosswind conditions, it's because commercial jet design is constrained by operational costs and matters of efficiency, whereas military budgets are virtually limitless. A warplane doesn't have to be efficient - merely effective. Carrying hundreds or even thousands of pounds of extra mass that may only get used once every fifty flights (or less) is far too costly for a passenger jet where even the (plastic!) teaspoons and paper napkins have to be slimmed down as much as possible because saving an ounce of weight over the aircraft's 30 or 40 year operational life flying millions and millions of miles represents a significant saving in fuel. Servicing a passenger jet is also hideously expensive (literally every minute the plane's on the ground being loaded or maintained and not actually up in the air carrying passengers is costing someone a LOT of cash), so the more complex systems there are on board - such as rotating landing gear - the more the balance sheet doesn't add up. There's nothing more scary than an angry accountant...😁
Uuuuuuum, the plane at 1:07 might want to go back to the Jiffy Lube that changed it's oil, oil filter, and cabin air filter and ask them to lube the ball joints, U-joints, tie rod ends, the chassis, door hinges, and even the weather stripping, because it sounds like they forgot!! They may also want to check the exhaust/muffler hangers while they are under there.🤣🤣🤣 If I had been on that plane, the rejected take off would have been my sign to respectfully ask to please let me the hell off at the nearest bus stop. Sketch AF!! I've heard less squeaking on a rent by the hour hotel room bed. Just so I don't get crap from people over my comment, it was a joke. I know planes don't have muffler hangers.
YOWZERS....A "Training Situation" was the reason another plane had to abort a takeoff? Would love to read that Teacher's report on what happened! Cheers From The Clouds In Ohio To The 3MOA Community!
It's rare and I loved it have the title who tell the truth of what's happen in the vidéo and have the clip directly at the beginning and not somewhere in the middle of the video to boost the watchtime. Thx very much 0:50
Since there are some misunderstandings in the comment section about the aborted Eurowings A330 take-off: In the original video, the captain said in his announcement, that the training flight "flew" through their take-off sector. It didn't cross the runway, like some people thought at first.
@Mike K yeah I know that, I was suggesting that it's all good until hit because most of the time they then have to divert to have it checked (making you late) 😄
The plane who crossed the runway without clearance, "I have a phone number for you" will be on his radio in just a minute. Then he /she gets the same feeling you get when that officers lights come on behind you and you're the only car on that road. Busted.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Sorry Dutch, with 34 years of flying these things I will stand by my statement. I've seen thousands of unnecessarily crooked landings in my career. Both from within my cockpit and while waiting to take off on the parallel taxiway. Far too many guys simply hit the runway sideways with zero rudder displacement. There is nothing silly about my comment. Zero. There is, however, something really pathetic going on with some pilots' "technique".
@@lbowsk 31 years of flying, 28 in different type of jets. There are different ways to skin a cat. Yours isn’t the only way. Did you know that Boeing advises for some of their airplanes to land up to the max demonstrated crosswind component in full crab? To not take it out at all? Boeing says there are 3 ways: 1) land in full crab. 2) land de-crabbed 3) side slip. I personally don’t use number 1 or 3. But that doesn’t mean 1 and 3 is a poor technique. Those are allowed.

@@theacechip I’ve tried it with Alitalia. There’s some shaking from the brakes but other than that it just feels like relatively hard braking - and no sliding.
Windshear? I doubt it. Yes, It was breezy. But that's it. When pilots talk about windshear they're generally referring to downdrafts in convective weather. Significant down drafts and or microbursts which are spat out from thunderstorms near the runway. This was a gorgeous blue sky day. It was just windy. Its typical for windspeed to vary during the descent to flare and pilots are constantly making small adjustments to pitch, power and bank to keep the jet on profile and on speed. This plane got away from him when the right wing dipped so he went around. It happens. Smart. But windshear? Nah. I doubt it. For example, San Juan PR. Landing to the NE on runway 8.... the wind is typically HONKING off of the ocean. At about a half mile final it starts to funnel between large buildings on the beach and the wind speed registered in the jet (and its airspeed) can bounce around like mad. Sudden IAS changes of 5-15 knots are the norm on a breezy day. You have to constantly make small adjustments right down to the flare. Its never called "windshear." Its just windy.
@@ghostrider-be9ek It might hurt. But in flight, pushing left rudder the craft will mostly yaw to the left with a bit of a clockwise bank. Did you not know that? 😘😘

The way the Eurowing A330 shuddered for aborted take off, it felt like it had actually slid off the runway for a moment.
But looking at the runway markings, they don't move in relation to the window, so I'm pretty sure they were on the centerline the whole time.
