Traditionally, the British and the French don't get along. We tried once and made Concorde, but resumed the tradition after we both got bored of supersonic passenger planes.
Wait a minute, BA did the exact same tail strike with one of their 350s few months ago. Same scenario: long flare followed by a go-around, maybe it has to do with the aircraft type.
That tail strike was at YYZ in Toronto. You should see the "after" photos of it looking up at the tail that were on CityNews. The return flight to Paris had to be cancelled.
I cant tell if it was just a speed bump, but the way it looked and sounded to me he hit the tail at ~0:21 and then dragged until 0:30.... would love to see the pictures of the damage

They’re always in the news every couple of weeks for some safety related incident or issue. They’re one of if not the only major world airline to suffer a catastrophic loss of lives and metal due to pilot error and negligence in the past decade or more. I flew with them recently and how they handled the flight and the relax attitudes to take off checks, 10,000 feet all the flight attendants started walking around trying to feed people when we didn’t even reach cruising altitude on a flight from DC to Paris. While in decent they really didn’t check passengers belts, remove all necessary trash and clear the cabin. I’m just use to US airlines being strict with things like that and sometimes I get peevish because they’re always checking and asking questions. I had a different experience with KLM coming back to the US and they reached cruising altitude before everyone got up and the decent prep was long and thorough.
2:00 I remember , that a week ago , the rescue helicopter landed at 10-30m from our school. Our lessons were stopped for 30 minutes , because all students watched it.
Wow, after seeing the images of the tail on that A350, that was a disastrously bad landing/go around attempt. The entire rear of the plane will need to be repaired. I hope Air France will investigate how such a careless incident occurred.
More importantly I hope none of my loved ones ever travel on the repaired version of that plane. I don't trust airplane repairs. These airline disaster channels tell me that they give way either in a year or 25
Hmmm. Would an airline repair damage to an aircraft that some random internet guy thinks "didn't look too crazy"? Let's think about that for a moment shall we... Yes. I reckon they repaired it.@@Your_Local_Nerd
2:03 That looks like a newer H135, not the older EC135. The black surround on the tail rotor gives it away. It is a Dutch Medical helicopter livery (ANWB).
search up F-HYTYH tail strike on google and the first link shows the aftermath of the tail strike but i can’t find the original photo or where it’s from
You should ask Macc Aviation if you can use his A380 TOGA during storm Isha - he's an amazing spotter who goes out in all weathers, and was recording during the terrible weather in Manchester when the flight in from Dubai had to go around!
This is a visual effect due to perspective and the relative distances between the planes, not necessarily due to any higher speed of Kuwait airlines' plane.
Wait a minute! The 777-300ER (03:32) seems to be diving into a landing because it grows larger (closer to the camera) while the A321 grows smaller. Optically that would look like an overtake. Clever trick Boeing people!
Why didn't they just punch the throttle instead of waiting like 6 seconds after executing go around. Also the Delta 767 is using the PW4000 which is getting quite old now. Plus that engine is known to be harder to inspect which might be the cause of the failure due to poor inspections.
the trent XWB usually takes around 4 seconds. You can hear that they only spool up a little for 9 seconds and then go to full power. why not just go full power when you need it and not wait?@@jazzi_0453
For all those that think the football was over the line! I present an overtake which was most likely NOT. The overtaking plane was lower, therefore closer to the viewer and parallax makes fools of most of us. 😊
Sounds like it. Was pretty severe. Word is they were avoiding something on the runway, which would be one of the few times doing this wouldn’t get you fired.
I wonder, did the AF A350 try to do a go around having forgotten to check his speed and increase thrust *or* (given that the landing seemed normal up to the point of the tail strike) did they forget their maximum angle and turn aerodynamic braking into aerodynamic breaking?
i’m guessing there was a plane on the runway or something, but i didn’t see anything but a report says Air France flight AF356, an Airbus A350-941, suffered a tailstrike during landing on runway 04L at Toronto-Pearson International Airport, ON (YYZ). The aircraft went around and landed normally 14 minutes later.
Impossible for me to judge, but I have to say that rotation looked like it was quite a low speed. Perhaps this was a Toga 15 manoeuvre due to realising they had messed up performance and then also messing up the recovery?
@@lbowski don’t know what the “15” stands for, but here’s what google said Definition. Take-off/Go Around (TO/GA) is an autopilot/autothrottle setting activating take-off or go-around thrust. Depending upon aircraft type, it may be activated by depressing a switch or by manually moving the thrust levers to the appropriate position.
I was always a bit anxious about tail strikes when I worked in the Gulf States and flew on Tristars, They left the runway like a frog doing a leap with nose sharply angled up and tail down.
AF landing makes no sense. You hear reverse thrust and then see the nose lifting at the same time when you hear the crashing sound accompanied with someone saying quite rightly “shit”… would love to know what happened in the cockpit
One plane is higher so you get different perspective. You see further back on the higher altitude plane since it fliers further away from the camera. That is minimum of 2000 feet between planes.
There has been a few tail strikes in a go around for the A350 airbus needs to do a fix like Boeing did on the B777-300ER. The newer 777-300ER models do not have a tail skid no need after software update
"This British Airways Boeing 747-400 executes a late go around... without suffering a tailstrike."
Love that passive-aggressive remark.
Savage! 😆
OTOH 3 Minutes has a history of calling tail strikes where there weren't any, so probably just showing that 3 Minutes has learned its lesson now.
It's British Airways, of course it doesn't tailstrike.

My confidence in Air France and their pilots has been diminishing ever since AF447
They're really not good. Especially for a flag carrier airline.
As a French citizen living abroad, I was traveling once with AF and never again... I suppose pilots are not so bad but the crew was so unpleasant.

It seems like A-F has more and more strange incidents... Pilot training issue?
Was that high-pitched sound from the interieur an indication of strike?
Sounds like it. Was pretty severe. Word is they were avoiding something on the runway, which would be one of the few times doing this wouldn’t get you fired.
In passenger perspective its hard to notice that tail strike.
Does Airbus not have a pitch limit that limits the amount of pitch to…say 30ft after liftoff?
yes, but pilots can overide that by using full stick deflection. Basically a safety feature.
I wonder, did the AF A350 try to do a go around having forgotten to check his speed and increase thrust *or* (given that the landing seemed normal up to the point of the tail strike) did they forget their maximum angle and turn aerodynamic braking into aerodynamic breaking?
As far as this video shows, it appears like a directional control issue on the landing roll, which precipitated the go-around.
Lol that implied snarkiness, love it hahah "French Plane Tailstrike" "British Plane with NO Tailstrike" :D
Bruh the A350 is getting less safe then the 787 💀
both are safe
Ye I guess
Why did the a350 need to go around? Seemed like a stable landing to me 🤔
Were u able to see if the runway was clear? 🤷🏻♂️
My understanding was there was a runway incursion or at least the pilot believed that was the case. It only just happened so more will be known soon.
i’m guessing there was a plane on the runway or something, but i didn’t see anything
but a report says Air France flight AF356, an Airbus A350-941, suffered a tailstrike during landing on runway 04L at Toronto-Pearson International Airport, ON (YYZ).
The aircraft went around and landed normally 14 minutes later.
They said after the 2nd attempt that they aborted the landing because they thought they were going to land too long
I see Air France still haven't fired that instructor who keeps telling the pilots to hold the stick back all the way regardless of circumstances.
Damn i shouldnt have laughed so hard at this
BA 747 ?
Outro 2x speed 😂😂
The A380 main landing gear can turn sideways for crosswind landings and takeoffs.
Impossible for me to judge, but I have to say that rotation looked like it was quite a low speed. Perhaps this was a Toga 15 manoeuvre due to realising they had messed up performance and then also messing up the recovery?
