    Formation flying has changed somewhat from when I was trained. Back in the day, it used to be Fixed Wing had the following aircraft fly behind and just below the lead, so as to see them at all times, and behind and above the lead if Rotary Wing, to keep your big whizzer from hitting his big whizzer. Most helicopters also have pretty good downward visibility ahead, unlike passenger jets. Those fellers following the other aircraft seem quite determined to exploit their obvious blind spot below them. Stray out of formation by flying a little too fast, and the lead disappears below them. After that it's potentially Braille Formation Flying, all done by touch!

    The planes are close as they are flying in formation.

      As stated, keeping the nose up to create more drag with the wings. You're really not supposed to do that, without the nosewheel on the ground you have poor steering and if you're not careful you can slam it down when the lift runs out.

    • @robertmartin8007
      @robertmartin8007 9 месяцев назад +6

      Aerodynamic braking on an airliner actually makes the landing roll longer, you want the energy going out of the nose wheel and you’re actually doing the exact opposite of what is normal standard operating procedure. The ground spoils and also can’t do their maximum job, because the pilot has the nose hanging in the air. This is nearly always an ex fighter pilot who simply cannot change his behavior. Most airliner SOP’s have verbiage that the nose gear is best on the ground. Several years ago in one of my airliner proficiency checks they specifically told the class not to do this.

    I doubt that this was aerodynamic breaking. I mean, it's definitely a thing (space shuttle), but this wouldn't have reduced landing distance. looked more like missing front gear training scenario to me.

      It’s not a missing gear scenario. He simply lowered the nose a bit on the slow side.
      Aerodynamic braking, if used, isn’t about reducing landing distance. It’s more about not using brakes.

      @@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 oh, okay. or, well … not fully agree on the not for reducing landing distance-part. for some scenarios, this is the exact reason.
      I surely see what you say for a regular aircraft. but if I recall correctly, Concord used this method per design to cope with a higher landing speed required due to her delta wing design.

      @@HxTurtle the Concorde did not use aerodynamic braking. Go ahead and search for Concorde landings on RUclips, they all lower their nose right after touchdown.
      Fighter planes use aero braking because they have crappy brakes and they don’t want to overheat them.
      Airlines shouldn’t use aero braking but you can. I used to do it on 747’s occasionally and still do on other types during certain circumstances. However, the shortest landing distance is using brakes. Aero braking can be used if you need to exit the runway at the very end and this way you don’t have to use brakes.

      To create drag. The spool up time from idle are 5 seconds, so to prevent stalling in need of a go-around, you can keep the engines on a higher RPM.

    Is using aerodynamic braking in a 757 part of United SOP? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that no commercial airline would appreciate having to replace tires, breaks, and entire rear landing gear assemblies much more frequently than they do already. Leave that to the military pilots, and unless there's an emergency situation that calls for it, use your spoilers, reversers, and breaks. Unless you're Aerosucre, in that case, do what you want as it's a miracle that you managed to get off the ground at all.
