another great landing by Alaska Airlines!

Excellent footage mate! Liked and subbed, looking forward to more!

Nicely done - cool to see the condensation trail stop as soon as the wing stops developing lift.

[@AustinMarti]

+99carnot Probably common knowledge -- but why is that?

[@Mr01jamie1566]

+Austin Marti You asked, lol ---- Part of the explanation of coefficient of lift has to do with the curvature, or camber, of the upper surface of the wing and angle of incidence. A large curve, or camber, means greater acceleration of the air over the upper surface. Oncoming free air is drawn upward toward the low pressure area on top of the wing, accelerates over the curvature, and flows off the trailing edge creating downwash. Most general aviation airplanes change camber and increase lift by moving the trailing edge up or down with control surfaces called ailerons and flaps. Changing lift development by changing wing camber is largely the province of the designer, and is only partially under the control of the pilot. Angle of incidence, which is defined as the angle at which the wing is fastened to the fuselage, is set by the designer at 1° to 3° in relation to the longitudinal axis and is beyond the control of the pilot. And now you know....hehee!

I live north of Seattle, so I've definitely heard of Alaska Airlines, but I've never flown with them before.

Nice, looked like a CAT II maybe, or down to minimums cat I. Keep up the great videos.

+Flightbudy2channel Great video! CAT II, DH 100ft (30m) with the RVR 1,200 (370m)
