Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel!
Today’s video will all be about hard/bumpy landings. 15 reasons why pilots once in a while land a little harder than usual.
Number 15:
Autoland landing
Autolands can sometimes end up in a harder landing than usual. In very foggy conditions with visibility values lower than what is consider to be flown manually(RVR minimum), pilots have to choose an auto land landing if there plane is equipped and certified for such an approach. The autopilot flies purely by numbers and received signals from the ground which can lead to a shortened flare, ending in a bumpy landing. A mishap showing that the autopilot only flies by the received signals is the Singapore airlines (check) landing at Munich airport, where the pilot disconnected the autopilot too late after landing, and the signal got disturb by another plane, leading to the Triple 777 to swerve off the runway.
Number 14:
Varying landing weight
Your first landing might be close to the maximum landing weight and the next might be with a nearly empty plane. Planes act completely different depending on their landing weight, which might be misjudged by the pilot and ruining his flare!
Number 13:
Different plane types
Some airline pilots are rated on multiple planes. For example when I flew for Airberlin, I was rated on the Airbus A319, 320, 321 and some colleagues even flew the A330 all within one week. Sometimes you switched between different types of aircraft in one day. Each of them flare and obviously weigh differently and can be the cause for a bumpy landing.
Number 12:
Different engine types
Some airlines have an A320 as example with IAE V2500, but in the same fleet others are fitted with CFM Leap engines. Upon flare, the engines react or spool up and down differently, timely speaking, which can lead to an unexpected long flare, a sudden drop in airspeed and bang, your next hard landing.
Number 11:
Density Altitude
When landing in Los Angeles for example with a 747, let’s say you have a ground speed on approach of 150 knots, times 5 equals = 750 feet per minute of descent rate on a 3 degree glideslope. Let’s fly the approach with the same landing weight into Mexico City with an airport elevation of 7300 feet, the air density is much lower, therefore your True Airspeed increases by 2% per 1000 feet, means 7 times 2% equals 14%, so 150 knots times 1.14 equals 171 knots. Let’s say 170 knots times 5 equals 850 feet per minute your descending on the 3 degree glideslope. So effectively 100 feet per minute 20 knots faster, if you don’t anticipate the higher descent rate, bang, harder landing then usual. The same applies for glide slopes which are steeper than normal which result in a higher descent rate!
.....
I hope you enjoy the video and it’s been helpful to you!

Wishing you all the best!

Fact: Anyone can get a plane on the ground. Pilots just make sure you survive the event.
A friend who flew F-15’s told me “taking off is optional. Landing is mandatory.”
Landings are simply controlled crashes
@@paulanderson8272 or crashes are uncontrolled landings
Any landing you walk away from is a good landing. A great landing you get to reuse the airplane.
Try once
"Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory."
Thanks for the video, Joe!
Exactly, takeoff is uncertain but once done landing is inevitable.
@@francoisscala417 bringing a aircraft to the ground is easy. Doing it in a way you survive is a other story.
I am in no ways a pilot but I know if I pouch the flight stick forwards the aircraft will get to the ground
@@francoisscala417 "a landing is just a more positive word for a controlled crash"
Damned thing called “Gravity” has something to do with it....
This reminded me of an old comic strip about a light aircraft pilot on his first solo flight.
Radio message from pilot.......... How did I do.?
Reply from instructor.......... You did really well..... Next week we will start with your first lesson on landing a plane. 😊😊
I remember a Qantas hostess saying to the cabin words to the effect of “Welcome to Perth as Captain Hoppy bounces his way down the taxiway”. Cracked me up
G'day Scott! Yep, there are only so many Aussie kangaroo jokes you can get away with.
Better than a boomerang joke, though, where after enduring a 22 hour flight you land back where you started... ;-)
Everytime I landed there it was quite obvious we had made contact with the ground. Must be the wind.
Can't blame pilots landing hard there, they have to land upside-down!
"bounces down the TAXI way..." well that would be a BAD landing if you landed on the TAXI way instead of the RUN way. (apparently Harrison Ford did just that....)
Theres no up or down in space, so how do you know australia is upside down. Maybe we are upright and you guys are all under.
Navy and Marine aviators on a carrier. “You call that hard a hard landing? Hold my beer”
Is that really landing? It's more like belly-flopping in a targeted manner. Just kinda...smush into the deck.
@@liesdamnlies3372 its not really belly flopping though if you ever listen to a navy or marine air man stationed as a pilot on a carrier they'll say landing on a carrier especially in bad conditions is extremely delicate and takes alot more concentration and effort

Damn, that was cold. :)
Stone cold but true!!!! Never piloted an aircraft, have driven many different sized vehicles from cars to large rigid trucks, so know exactly where Joe is coming from !!!
Stone Cold Captain Joe
Yeah that was nice
That’s not only cold, but stupid too. You Will never put a Pilots in a plane with no prior tranning !!!! Well maybe in Ryan Air

Captain Joe as a Captain: "Don't blame the Captain!"
He’s flying cargo anyway.
That is funny one 😂
Ah
I get the joke

Qantas landing brief: make it as comfortable as the situation allows
Ryanair landing brief: plane in air, don't want it to be
longer in the air, more money spent
Ryanair is the big school in aviation, this is the reason why does so many bumpy landings
12:07
@@albertocallau7959 i thought it was because they only have 737s. And 737s are meant to be landed firmly compared to other planes.
@@albertocallau7959 those landings have nothing to do with pilot skill
The dislikes are the captains that now can be blamed too
@Qatar001 ok
😂
my last flight we had crazy wind and it felt like we approached the runway on a 45 degree angle, landed on one wheel, turned straight and rolled down the runway. and it was the smoothest landing ive ever been on. it was silky smooth, could barely notice you hit the ground at all. afterwards i told the pilot he’s awesome.
When there's crazy wind, I'm not that preoccupied with whether the landing is smooth or bumpy. As long as they don't do a go-around!
@@Petra44YT What's wrong with a go-around? If the approach gets destabilized due to wind shear or gusts you'd rather the pilot continue with an unsafe landing rather than performing a go-around to retry the approach? (or divert if conditions are deemed too bad)
One flight everyone knew it was desperately stormy, similar crabbing but a really bumpy approach dispelled all thought of a smooth landing. Landed with a heavy bump, an interior ceiling panel fell down, but STILL everyone applauded, because of the sheer relief to be on the ground.
What a butter landing to experience!
Were you on the A330 it always butters no matter what
My wife always complains about hard landing. I've tried to explain to her it's not easy. Now I should show this video to her.
TURN HER OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That´s a good idea, let's see if she finally can understand lol
Why don’t you divorce that dumb broad? Pass her onto your homies because (no disrespect to you) your broad is nothing more than an easily expendable commodity.
I quit my marriage after 1 year. This is my answer.
Perfect video to wrap up a long work week. So Captain Joe, here are my remarks.
1) Any landing you walk away from is a good landing.
2) Former US Air Force, now commercial pilots, land softly and use the entire runway to slow down, barely touching the breaks.
3) Former US Navy pilots, now commercial pilots, land hard at the threshold, slam the breaks, use 1000 feet of a 10,000 foot runway.
4) Former US Marine pilots, now commercial pilots, same as US Navy pilots.
Upon de-planing, I always thank the flight crews for the wonderful smooth flight and the smooth landing regarding how hard it was.
Cant wait to get back up in the air again!
Who disliked is the landing gear shown in the video
Lol! Yeah
My brain isn’t responding
@@TGentong Your brain.exe has stopped working.
The highest demands for performance at the end of a flight when one is most fatigued.
"You don't know if it was a hard landing."
My cervical spine sticking out of my cranium disagrees.
I like your funny words magic man
Damn those sudden altitude callouts, I have landed numerous times to an airfield which goes 300, 200, 50 lol
Wish I was a Captain Joe! Love your videos buddy ✌🏻

The bumpiest landing I experienced as a passenger was landing at SFO at night in the rain. The pilot definitely had to break the surface tension of the water. The Flight Attendant came on the loud speaker and said “Make no doubt, we have landed in San Francisco.
Welcome!” 😁
I'm struggling to afford private pilot lessons, but I'll get there one day!
Keep at it! You’ve got it

Omg, this has to be the most wholesome, not toxic question and answer that I have ever see in the RUclips comments section. Congratulations to you two mates, you gave me hope in humanity again xD
@@pablojacome5201 Thanks so much for your kind words😊! So many of these question/answer threads do degenerate into nasty, insult slinging matches, usually between "experts" of a particular topic. I've noticed that aviation videos are very prone to this. But it feels so much more satisfying to engage in pleasant conversation with people, even if you don't agree with them, and to appreciate people who can answer your questions.
All landings I ever had with Ryanair were just perfect
Cap
If you think so, they were not perfect. Perfect Ryanair signature landings reallign your spine and make you moan. Ryanair doesn't land. It falls from the sky.
My dad was a flight attendant on a DC-10 one time where the exact opposite of this happened: the touchdown was so smooth and easy that the windows could easily have been mistaken for video screens.
1:53 thats some solid landing gear
I really like the analogy of parallel parking a 40 lb truck at night in the rain. This is a very cool detailed list.
Parallel-parking 40lb truck isn't very impressive.
A 40 Ton truck, now THAT'S another matter.
Cap, thanks for this channel! I love flying and I've been a lifelong flight enthusiast (on my bucket list is get a pilot's license--lol). My and friends who are afraid to fly I always direct them to your channel. Good Job!!
Thanks for the good video; I remember many years ago flying (as a passenger, I'm not a pilot) from DUR to JNB. It was a rainy night and the captain announced the following: the weather conditions ad JNB are very stormy; he will make only one attempt at landing, else we will divert - back to DUR. If he lands, he will put the plane down harder than expected to ensure positive contact with the runway. We all knew what to expect, at least.
He landed and we were all home! I really appreciated his brief, yet important, announcement. I remember hearing a lot of murmuring in the cabin when he said we may have to divert, but I thought that I'd rather be safe in Durban than injured or dead in Johannesburg.
Captain Joe great Topic. Thanks for stating for your comment “Don’t be that kind of passenger”. I’m flabbergasted at how fast the Fear implanting U.S. media is fast to comment about the Pilot/Aircraft Not being aviation professionals themselves or even asking a Pilot before spilling fear. Awesome explanation/Pilot math.
Hey Joe thanks to you you encouraged me for flying and 2 days ago I have flown my First Solo, I am 15 years of age and I live Australia. Thank you
amazing !

When*
My flight instructor once told me ''If the ELT doesn't start, it's not a hard landing!'' At the flight school where I learned (PPL+CPL+NR) and worked, the airfield runway (15/33, 2100ft long) was 95% of the time with crosswind conditions, mostly westerlies winds, and with a row of hangars alongside the entire runway. The wind direction and speed could change at the very last minute! But let me tell you, flight examiners were impressed at how much PPL students were good at landing in crosswind conditions. The runway illusions are important when you transition from a narrow runway to a wide one (and vice-versa. I must admit, I got caught a few time). On the flaps settings, you learn a lot about the pitch angle on final when the CFI tells you to land with no flaps!
As always, your videos are very instructive! Thanks!
I've had a "firm" landing (as a passenger). Coincidently it's my favorite.
We had a huge crab angle because of the crosswind. I could almost see the end of the runway from my window (behind wings).
Honestly I was impressed how well the pilots handled that. It was firm, and quite scary but very impressive and well executed.
I wish he could visit near me in the States, I’d love a chance to just fly into the same airport as Captain Joe at the same time!
My daily dose of plane spotting, but with reasons as to why the planes sometimes go oof. Love your videos, hope I'll be back in the air soon!
Great video as always. Thanks Captain Joe.
Great video Captain Joe! thank you so much for this great information, keep up the great landings, stay safe, and keep flying strong!
There are only 2 youtube channels, when I get really exited, when I see that a new video is out - and that's because I know they offer 100% quality, always, and one is Captain Joe
Only once can I recall having a “hard” landing when arriving in Phoenix. I still don’t know if we stalled, crashed or were shot down just as we crossed the threshold. Joking aside you can run into all sorts of weird thermals there which I’m sure can cause all sorts of fun for the pilot flying.
What the common man does not realize is, that sometimes (depending on everything weather-related you've mentioned, among other things), a "hard" landing *is* the *_SAFER_* landing (short field, tail winds, wind shear in the form of a microburst etc.). For example, in certain situations, you don't want a "prolonged float" over the runway, just so that you can make it a "greaser". Another instance was mentioned in the video (water on the runway and hydroplaning). And there are a few more situations as well, where this applies.
Phoenix is known for turbulence and hard landings because of the desert heat.
All my hard landings have been in phx! I LIKE IT!!
Love your explanations, Joe. I thought auto-landings were always prohibited; now I know the facts. Thank you.
7:50 beautifully cross-wind landing 😍 Straightens up just before touchdown 👌#Nailedit
And as always, Joe's videos are amazing! Just looking at you motivates me to become a pilot.
Captain Joe: i can fly the a319, a320, a321, and a330 all in one day.
Me: airbus is so simple these days
Airbus is really good at aircraft commonality, while at the same time making cockpits on new aircraft feel modern and up to date. At first glance, the differences between an A330 cockpit and an A350 cockpit are quite big, but, in reality, the A350's cockpit is really just an update of the cockpit used on the A320, A330 and A340. All the changes are improvements over how things are done in previous Airbus models. This allows an A320 pilot to fly any Airbus aircraft with minimal training (with the exception of the A220, because it was designed by Bombardier), which is great for airlines
Similar ro Boeing 757 and 767 OR 767-400 and 777

@@aarondynamics1311 im only 11 but I know alot about planes. I got invited to fly in a b737 flight simulater. I did engine fails and a landing ➕ takeoff. I even know how to use the b727 civa ins. I love aviation and I got to pilot a Cessna and sling 2 in real life. I got my first flight when I was 9 in a sling 2 and got to pilot it. I got my first commercial flight on a b737. I then flew on a a380 and a b777.
And I even got to pilot a helicopter. The Robinson r44 to be exact. I wish to start at 15. I want to become a b737-800 pilot.
Maybe I even fly the max. I also want to fly the b777 and the 787. If there is a gap I would also want to fly a a320 or a a220. After my commercial pilot career I wanna become a chopper pilot. I'm gonna start a youtube channel once I get a gaming pc so that I can run xplane 11
Another excellent video C.J. THANK YOU ! EVERY landing resulting in all the passengers and crew disembarking safe and sound at the correct gate means the flight crew are AWESOME !!
I’ll never forget an approach and double touchdown I had in KSAV once on a Delta flight. The turns coming in from ATL are more than usual but you could right away feel it: former navy pilot. We bounced twice and stopped at an exit earlier than usual. I used to work at GA nearby there and one of the test pilots was notorious for landing like that as well. Again, navy pilot. I guess everything looks like an aircraft carrier after you get good at landing on them.
I want to fly the 737 and Captain Joe is my inspiration!!! Thanks man!!
Me in FS 2020 way to high diving down to loose altitude: "Why was this a hard landing?" :)
I know that all too well my friend
Less power and a forward slip, much more fun.... actually I'm not sure if you can do a forward slip in all craft
Lol I sometimes do that, go too slow and find that I can’t pull up and crash head first into asphalt at 80 knots
I wanna be a pilot when I grow up and your videos really help me
Just way out of this world for me particularly with the way Captain Joe breaks into pieces lots and lots of technical information about aviation and it operation for all his countless followers to understand.👊💪👍👍👍.Well done......man

Never give up!
I really like your honesty and sincerity in what you've said. If or when I've experienced a bit of a tough landing I just am grateful and pleased for the great job these amazing pilots do. In my opinion all my flights that I've traveled the landing have been so smooth, thank God for such extraordinary gifted pilots. So I totally understand and agree with your opinion captain Joe. Thank you for these great videos as it was very informative.
Great Video very informative one. Captain joe and Mentour Pilot, for me, are the best videos for this category on youtube. Thank you Capt'n
Why would anyone dislike this video ? Can't even differ between good and bad content.

I remember years ago experiencing (what seemed like) a hard landing on a Southwest Airlines flight. After the bumpy landing, the head of the flight crew came on the intercom and she announced "That hard landing wasn't the pilot's fault. It wasn't the co-pilot's fault... but rather, it was the asphalt. (S.W. Airlines has always had a sense of humor.) 😅 😂 🤣

Is really hoped he drop a ryanair reference but instead just let the clips speak for itself

You're right, that be a 757. I didn't notice that when I watched it.
Gear tilt...
I was curious about that. Not a pilot, just a very amateur spotter.
Another great video!
But I'd be delighted if you could make another one that specializes in just the no. 1 reason for hard landings: weather and aerodynamics. That was what I expected when I first saw the title of the video: a basic understanding of the aerodynamics during landing and how they are affected by enviromental factors. What do flaps do and how should they be adjusted to ensure a soft landing? What's happening (physically) when a plane suddenly gets jammed into the ground? Why is a go-around the safest option? How do winds work when being close to the ground? Why is a plane so unstable against gusts during landing?
Since I'm not a pilot, but fascinated by the great explanations that you deliver, these are the questions that cross my mind. Maybe you can take it as inspiration for one of your next videos.
All the best, Captain! Stay healthy!
Yup.... 23 years in the air and you’ve nailed them all! Great video
"the inexperienced FO"
Joe's self roast
that mention of a first officer being a novice on the Boeing 747 was too damn specific for sure
Ryanair: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN
Wow this is excellent! Love the content. I'm learning to fly helicopters airturbulence is important. Your videos are fantastic! I subscribed
Hi Captain Joe, love the videos. You mentioned not mention Ryanair, but most of the hard landings I've experienced has been with Ryanair ha!
Ryanair comments? Some of my nicest landings have been with Ryanair.
My favourite Ryanair moment though, was an announcement the captain ended with "... it's quite windy here at Frankfurt today so the takeoff should be... interesting." *click*
There were a few white knuckles on that plane. He wasn't wrong though. I found it interesting.
I would have no qualms or concerns flying with Ryan Air. But I love all the Ryan Air jokes.
Captain Joe: Spare me all those ryanair comments...
Me: The most common reason for a hard landing: You can read Ryanair on the winglet.
Classic
Great video! Safe flights Captain Joe 👍👍👍
You forgot one. Just an “off” day aka a landing after a factor of any combination of what you listed. Love your videos! Viehlen Danke.
When you know the printer starts printing maintenance log, thats where u know u have a hard landing LOL
The first time I landed at Cork airport in Ireland, I thought the landing was pretty hard. The next time I landed there, it was hard again, so I thought it must be something with the runway at that airport. I didn't blame the pilots, though! Just thought that's how it is...
Tom Bomb I fly in there a lot. The turbulence coming off of the hills does make it more challenging. Much more fun going into ORK on an ATR than 320.
One of THE best videos I have ever seen by far.
Great explanation, thank you for sharing
Ryan Air: Didn't know people were interested in RUclips videos about normal landings
3:46 Joe that’s a 757 not a 767.. granted a light weight 757 is essentially a 767 on a diet!
Great video Captain Joe ! There is another factor that can lead to a firm landing : the runway width. A standard runway width is about 45 meters and so the pilots eyes are used the image of this kind of runway. But some airports have 60 meters wide runways, which gives the pilots an impression of being low and they would start an early flare. This could lead to a firm landing for the same reason as for a runway with a downslope. On the opposite, some smaller airports have 30 meters wide runways ( minimum allowed width for the A320). There, the pilots have an impression of being high over the threshold and might start the flare too late...
I was on a 737 from BNA to Denver and then on to SFO, the pilot circled at Denver due to setting up for a landing due to a cross wind. I thought the wing tip was going to hit the runway! He did an excellent job.! Southwest Airlines has some great Pilots.
14:00 If I were to keep bumping my landings a bit it would be time to get back to my seat in economy and let the aircrew get on with it!
Does military training affect how the plane is landed? I have heard that pilots with Navy carrier based backgrounds can have harder than normal landings due to the habits developed to land on moving carriers.
Very informative!! Thank you, Captain! 😉
As an a320 pilot, when you start naming 319 320, 321, CFM & AIE you make my day 😍
