    I'm not a pilot but have traveled extensively as a passenger. I've learned to appreciate a pilot who makes a greaser landing such that you don't even know the wheels are down. On the way out of the plane, I will stop and congratulate the flight crew and pilot!!

    I was a passenger on a flight to YYZ and it was the best landing ever. There was only a VERY SLIGHT vibration as the main gear touched down and then reverse thrust came on. As the plane slowed down the captain announced the following, "That....ladies and gentlemen.....is how you land an L-1011." The entire cabin erupted into cheers and applause.

      See above. You don;t "feel" a simulator. For that reason, I've wlays found it more challenging to "fly" a simulator that fly an aircraft!! Note on of the inset videos of a landing in the 172. Note that the yoke is all over the place approaching and into the flare. That is the pilot "feeling" for the runway.

      @@crsvetteii1753 There are benefits to adding simulator time to augment actual flight time training, but it should never be used in lieu of actual flight time training. For instance, if weather condition don't permit actual flying, that's a perfect time to hit the simulators. But it should never replace actual flight hours.

With a slight to medium cross wind the Cessna wasn't easy and in heavy cross wind, well, forget it......it was ouch ! We finally resolved the problem with a Cessna 185 on floats. (cross winds were rare events). Got to old, operating costs got worse and we gave up on flying (After 38 years) ! Great video !

But in a scenario without the pandemic, if you have a bachelor's (in any field, not only aeronautical sciences), usually the airlines hire you with about 300~500 flight hours... this number doubles if you don't have a bachelor's degree... (and you need to speak portuguese).

    Another great video, Joe - a couple comments: the first video of the 747 at 6:45 seems to show full upward deflection of the elevator, so i'm not sure the pilot necessarily screwed up or if there was a loss of lift due to a wind shift - we just don't see enough of what happened prior. as to the Air Berlin floating, in our smaller planes that usually means we are landing with too much speed and thus the plane, in ground effect, won't settle. Not sure if that happens with the big jets too, but us Cessna drivers know this dynamic well. Cheers!

    Hi Joe, I am a student gyrocopter pilot, and I have just recently started doing the take offs and landings, so this video comes at the right time for me (although gyrocopters are rather different), and I would agree that the Air Berlin pilot was close to the point where a go-around may have been a better option, flaring is something we gyrocopter pilots have to do too, but obviously a gyrocopter has a much shorter landing run than a fixed-wing aircraft, we simply pull the stick back and let the rotors stop the aircraft, in the process of learning I am beginning to understand the workload that all pilots have, it takes a special kind of person to fly an airliner, and be responsible for the safety and comfort of passengers, I am only flying a small aircraft, but there is so much to learn, and, I guess we're always learning, anyway, stay safe all the best from Scotland, Stephen.

    Very nice video, every time I get on a plane I always look forward to when the plane lands really well and softly. I assumed that a smart and experienced pilot would land the plane gently without shaking much. but the luck that accompanies the pilot also determines a good plane landing. and I really love seeing planes as they land at the airport. because the goal of every airplane that flies is to land somewhere else safely. Good job captain joe and safe your flight.

      @GeordieBoy69 3 года назад

      @@aviationchannel6204 yep wet runway should always be firm, to let the tyres cut thru the standing water. A proper hard landing puts the plane out of action as captain must pull a breaker and get the landing gear checked out. This causes delays but it must be done. Certain G forces on landing automatically send data to an independent company who then send the airline a detailed report. The airline must then check the pilots reports and if breaker is not pulled and gear check not done its likely the pilots could be sacked. Pilots do not know what that G rating is, nor do they get any idea its gone over. So pilots error on side of caution at all times. If it feels hard, get it checked otherwise it could be the end of job. So very few people have had a true hard landing before.

    Great video. I have flown various Boeing types and the flare technique is exactly as Joe, described. It is taken from the Boeing Flight Crew Training Manual (available on the internet for free). If I screw up a landing, I always read it again to remind myself of the right way. It is amazing though, how many pilots I fly with are oblivious to this advice or ignore it. Many have their own flare techniques that (mostly) work out.

    I'm in flight school atm, and I've been learning how to land (A.K.A the art of landing) and you nailed the explanation! I've had some hard landings and some soft landings, but I like to remark "Damn put her down quite rough" or "She's not gonna like that" on the hard landings. On smooth landings, it's "Buttery", "Silky smooth!" or just a good ol' "Oooohhh yeah! Nice and easy" and "Chefs kiss".

    I used to land a lot at palm springs (psp) which is notorious for crosswinds.

Sometimes it looked like the plane was landing angled 90 degrees to the runway.

    After 35 years of flying Flight Simulator in it's various guises and being a former tester for MS UK way back in the day on the 744, I watch a lot of your videos with always something new to learn! I have finally subscribed! I have over 2000 virtual hours in the PMDG 744 in FSX and in P3D and about 300 way back in FS2000 when PSS released their 744, after which I got into testing. I have not really tried the 747-8 in MSFS yet, preferring to wait for the PMDG offering when it finally comes out. I have spent many hours flying the 737-800 and now also have about 350 hours in the A320 (FSLabs in FSX and P3D and Fenix and FlyByWire models in MSFS) and this video is of particular help to me as I have just moved on to the Honeycoomb Alpha flight yoke. On behalf of the Simming community, thank you for the time and effort you give to us to help those of us who can never have your career - and so enjoy it virtually in our wonderful Simulator. Nice one Joe. I love the 747 and have done for a long time. Keep them coning. All the best from the UK. Lee (virtualairlinepilot.org)

    Hi Captain Joe, I really liked the cockpit view from the simulator footage 2:34. :-) Quick question: is there a difference in how landings are expected to be executed in practice based on which airline you work for (example: BA pilots usually do crash landing, while if you fly with Lufthansa, or Wizzair, pilots nicely "hoover" over the runway and try to make a nice "effortless" touchdown)? Thank you.

      The PAPI on the left side of the runway are set from 2.0 - 3.5 degrees. This is decided on airport construction and therian on the approach path. So at 154 Knots x 5 gives a decent rate of coming down at 770 feet per minute you will set the plane up to land on the painted marks on the side of runway were the PAPI are set for the correct touch down area on that runway. Its so nice to have the plane set up correctly before you get to the end of the runway you can now concentrate on the landing. If coming down to fast the PAPI lights will go red and red is dead, if coming down to slowly and all green you glide too far down the runway and may run out of length. My 2 cents
