I have a bad back (spina bifida) and I've always stayed away from Ryanair because the risk of injury is way too high. I generally have no problems with "normal" landings, but those "slam dunks" could potentially f me up real bad! Ryanair does in fact injure people from time to time. Look up the flight attendant who sued over a back injury from a hard landing, for example. So yeah, no thank you! We need to regulate this problem. It shouldn't be an accepted practice.

The runway length at Skiathos is 1630m which is just enough for an airplane like 737-800, so the normal practice is NOT to flare but land firmly as soon as possible because every metre matters. So there's nothing unusual nor abnormal about this particular landing.
If you look at the satellite view, there’s plenty of rubber right at the threshold, and a bit before, so getting it down early seems to be a common strategy.
That's a very unusual landing. When they calculate landing distances, it is based on touching down in the touchdown zone, which is 1,000 feet down the runway. That's so you have some leeway if you come up short. You should never be coming up so short that you land right on the threshold. Landing firmly so you can start braking straight away is standard on pretty much any landing. You still flare to do that, otherwise you will damage the landing gear.
@@thomasdalton1508 that's right except for Skiathos. Technically, landing calculations might allow for a short flare but I'm positive no pilot in their right mind would do that. You either land firmly and stop within the runway or flare and risk ending up in the sea.
@@alexandersoren4938 If you are flaring properly, it doesn't stop you landing the plane on the runway. If you are floating down the runway, you've done it wrong. Take off distance is pretty much always much longer than landing distance. If the runway is long enough for them to get back in the air, they should have no problem at all landing on it. There is no need for risky landings.
Over 40 years ago as a DC9 co-pilot and the pilot flying that leg to KPBI, the captain expressed a preference for the shortest runway and asked me to set it down on the first brick. I was still actively flying F-105s, which used up a lot of runway at a 220 mph minimum find approach speed, in the Air National Guard at the time. So I touched down at the very beginning of the runway just as that 737 did, while the captain was sucking the seat cushion up into his sphincter. Instead of saying nice approach, he said that he didn't think I was going to make the runway, to which I replied that's where the proverbial first brick is. He then told me that he had not meant it literally. Live and learn. It now occurs to me that the same scenario may have been in play on that SXM landing.
@@tonamg53 Yes I’m a real commercial pilot. Yes we still use MPH in aviation. My first airplane’s airspeed indicator was in MPH on the outside ring with knots on the inside. Although knots are more prevalent now, I use it here because the vast amount of watchers are not in aviation and understand MPH better than knots. No where in my training or in the aircraft I flew, which includes some jets, was there a requirement or SOP to cross either threshold at 50 feet. Those are used mainly by airlines and some corporate operations. I feel that is fine on runways of more standard lengths. But this runway is the shortest runway in mainland Europe that is used by the airlines. There is less than 5200 feet available for landing. And I believe using up valuable runway length on a very short runway just to cross the threshold at 50 feet is being unsafe. Apparently so do the pilots on every video I have seen here on You Tube landing on this runway, and a few others too.
My first thought before watching this video but after reading the title and seeing the thumbnail was "Ryanair? Yeah, that figures". However, once I saw the video, I'm like, "How is that *_TOO_* short? A little short, yeah, but it was still on the runway.
@@Tom_Hadler What are you basing that on? It's the same everywhere. If the runway is so short you would have to land earlier than 1,000 feet then it is too short to land on. You don't risk landing short in an airliner just to get into an airport with a short runway.
The B787, like most transport category aircraft, have special procedures to follow when they dispatch with unserviceable components. Leaving the gear extended for 2 minutes is a fairly typical requirement when a brake sensor is inoperative. There is another MEL procedure that can require the gear to remain extended for 10 minutes, but this is much less common.
In Ryanair's defense, when I flew to St. Lucia, the taxi way was pretty close to the end of the runway, so we would touchdown on the numbers to stop as fast as possible so that we didn't have to back taxi, and given the the fact that they figured that they gave the passenger's too much time on the plane as is, they probably wanted them out as fast as possible.

Talking of a low landing. A few years ago, Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, England. A road passes by one end of the runway, with traffic signals to hold traffic during take-offs and landings. I'm sat at the lights, with the airfield to my right, and there are two guys at the fence, looking in towards the runway, and we can see a plane taxiing towards the runway. Distracted by that, we do not see the one coming in to land, from behind the two guys. Plane almost lands in the field before the road, and the first I see of it, is as it rises from behind the hedge to my left, landing gear almost brushing the hedge. It hops over the fence, again, almost touching it, to drop gently to the runway. The two guys were a bit shocked when it went over their heads, still rising. Brown trousers moment perhaps? That's why the lights are there, to protect traffic, but not apparently, plane spotters. Like a pantomime, "it's behind you".
The 787 opens the gear doors automatically, 1 second after liftoff and if the door handle isn’t moved into the up position within 30 seconds, those doors will close again. So no, pins were not left in. They likely had a brake inop and had to wait 2 min for the wheel to stop spinning before retraction.
@hottuberrol968 not questioning the hot brake theory, might want to actually read something before looking like the actual Muppet! Just another tool showing his ignorance.
@@randygreen007 Many years ago I was sitting on the flight deck looking into the terminal and the tv was showing the film Airplane / Flying High, which I thought was amusing considering the passengers were about to board a night flight in a turboprop.

About the Saudia 787, it could be a dispatch item requiring to maintain landing gear down for 2 until 10 minutes after take off, required cool down time for the ldg gear.
It’s called landing performance and the SOP is to cross the landing threshold at 50ft - lower than that and you risk hitting things before the start of the runway. It is a REGULATORY REQUIREMENT
It is abnormal to cross the runway threshold below 50ft. End of. The fact a lot of pilots do it at Skiathos just means they are doing it wrong, not that it is normal. Yours, a 16,000hr 737 Training Captain who checked pilots out for Cat C airfields like Skiathos.
@@petesmith1924 Plane landed after threshold and just beyond piano keys. Perfect. I flew a 737 pro simulator into Skiathos rwy 01 and overshot because I didn't get it down in time. (I called for a TOGA but the end time of session meant the instructor basically said nah) Short runway, with a specific approach where it is more critical to get the wheels down ASAP. This approach seemed a little lower than usual, but shallower approach but the plane landed where it should
@@Tom_Hadler No it didn’t. It touched down at the threshold. That is far from perfect. You are supposed to cross the threshold 50ft above it, not touch down on it. You flew a ‘pro simulator’ did you? I’ve got 15,000hrs flying the real thing and training/ checking pilots for Cat C airports such as Skiathos, Samos, Funchal, Chambery etc. So I’ll take my expertise over your ‘I’ve been in a sim and think I know what I’m talking about’ guff.
@1:00 perhaps the Saudi airline left its gear down for a test. I flew United last year and they informed us they were going to leave the gear down for 10 minutes or so. Super loud and you’re very glad once they’ve retraced the landing gear.
Say ‘I have no idea about landing performance and where the touchdown point should be on a 737’ without using the words ‘I have no idea about landing performance and where the touchdown point should be on a 737’🙄
Seen the shadow to many times to remember. Take a ship and go across the equater and see you have no shadow unless you lift your feet. You must be right under the sun. Fascinating. 😊😮
That Ryanair was about a fuselage height above the fence which is close. He touched town right before the piano keys which is definitely short... but that's what the touchdown zone is so far down the runway to begin with.
With only 5,300 feet of runway, and over-run putting you in the water, I suspect the threshold marker is more often a target than the Aiming Point marker for commercial jets. There’s a decent bit of rubber laid down before the threshold.
@@rdspama lot of pilots landed there while being nervous. They really shouldn’t have to. The landing calculations considers the first 1000 feet in the air. So a normal landing shouldn’t be a problem.
@@rdspam it makes no difference how long the runway is - you calculate your landing performance and you can either stop with the regulatory safety margins built into the calculation or you can’t. If you can’t you don’t land. If you can you land just like you do anywhere else - crossing the landing threshold at 50ft ATE and touching down in the correct place. The threshold is displaced TO ENSURE YOU DONT HIT ANYTHING on short finals. If you pause the video, he actually touches down just before the threshold. That is a BIG no, no. He compromised safety and an ASR should have been submitted and his fleet manager involved. It’s as simple as that. Sea off either end, short runway etc etc makes NO DIFFERENCE.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 exactly, they have calculated that they can stop so there is no need to land before the threshold, which he does if you pause the video at touchdown.
@@petesmith1924 right. And I saw your responses in other places too and I totally agree with all you wrote. Going into short runways, I’ve seen pilots do the strangest things and make it more dangerous. A lot will duck under the normal glidepath. But I’ve seen guys fly Ref minus 5. I’ve seen guys land with minimum fuel. It’s flabbergasting sometimes.
It's Jerry’s damn channel he can do what he bloody well pleases. His commentary is why so many tune in, then again I guess you don't watch BigJet TV, so your ignorance is forgiven.
The Saudia787 probably had hot brakes after taxiing out, quite common to leave the gear down on climbout to cool them and retract once the temp goes down.
If your brakes are too hot you shouldn’t be taking off - you might need to reject at close to V1. On the 787 it is more likely an MEL restriction requiring you to leave the gear down for a period of time - one situation is 2 mins, another is for 10mins!!!
You’d only get hot brakes once airborne and the gear is up, so you lower it again. This is likely due to a capped brake MEL, where the wheels have to spin down before being retracted, as others have said.
NON SENSE. The crew will NEVER taxi with hot brakes. That’s why we bring BRAKE fans out to the hot brake and cool them down. And, you don’t get hot brakes from taxiing, so just stop.
@@Aviator727no. More likely one of the brakes was inop and they had to let the wheel spin down to a stop, before retraction. The 787 doesn’t do quick turns quick enough for hot brakes.
If an airplane has a brake out of service it is still permitted to fly, but the pilots have to wait about 2 minutes after takeoff for the tire to stop spinning before retracting the landing gear.
The Ryanair DID NOT TOUCH DOWN TO EARLY!!! The touchdown was past the approach end of the runway, and exactly where they should be on a short runway like this one is. The touchdown zone starts at the approach end of the runway.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Nope. It is very legal to touchdown on the key board right at the threshold of the runway. At this airport there are many videos here on You Tube of aircraft landing. They all barely clear the fence. Rather they touch down on the key board right at the approach threshold just short of the numbers of the runway or the end of the touchdown zone is up to the captain based on the conditions of their aircraft at the time of the landing.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Your statement is not correct. The “AIMING POINT MARKING” is usually about 1000 feet from the runway “THRESHOLD LINE.” The “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” usually start about half way between the threshold line and the aiming point marking. The far end on the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” end around 1000 to 2000 feet past the “AIMING POINT MARKING.” At MSY near New Orleans, the far end of the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” are 1900+ feet past the “AIMING POINT MARKING.” This depends on the length of the runway. The far end of the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” are there because this is the end of where the runway construction is the strongest. The middle portion of the runway is usually not constructed as strong as the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE” is. The “TOUCHDOWN ZONE” begins at the “THRESHOLD LINE” and ends at the far end of the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS.” The “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” main purpose is due to the construction strength of the runways. The airline’s landing procedures may be based on these markings. But as far as the FAA in the US is concerned if the aircraft touches down any where between the threshold line and the far end of the touchdown zone markings, it is a legal landing. At SXM the Ryanair landed on runway 28 and there are not any “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS,” just an “AIMING POINT MARKING.” Runway 10 does have “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS.”
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 You have ABSOLUTELY no idea what you're talking about. You're not a pilot. If you are a pilot, you need a 709 ride. Read the regs on where the Touchdown Zone is. Go ahead, I'll wait. They're the same in the USA and ICAO standards. I'm not even going to tell you the definition because I want you to read it and discover it for yourself so that you never make a rash response to someone who is actually correct, trying to correct them. You're wrong. The end. Read it.
Watching how the flaps came up shortly after touchdown was pretty impressive. Even the angle they were pointed tells me that it also puts a lot of downforce on the plane to keep it planted on the runway as well as more braking.
Did the tires touch runway? Not too short, that leave more room in case something goes south, like brakes etc. Looked like and awesome landing to me, nice and smooth too. I've seen plenty land like that.

Plane almost lands in the field before the road, and the first I see of it, is as it rises from behind the hedge to my left, landing gear almost brushing the hedge. It hops over the fence, again, almost touching it, to drop gently to the runway. The two guys were a bit shocked when it went over their heads, still rising. Brown trousers moment perhaps? That's why the lights are there, to protect traffic, but not apparently, plane spotters. Like a pantomime, "it's behind you".
That Saudia bird looks the gear pins were left in, the gear handle was activated but only the doors cycled.Makes a hard right for a return to field
The 787 opens the gear doors automatically, 1 second after liftoff and if the door handle isn’t moved into the up position within 30 seconds, those doors will close again.
So no, pins were not left in. They likely had a brake inop and had to wait 2 min for the wheel to stop spinning before retraction.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Yea I don't think so might want to refer to Boeing AMM 32-30-01-02C-340A. on gear door operation.
Hot brakes, cool off, retract later.
There - 6 words instead of speculative BS. Pins left in 😂😂😂😂 muppet
@@hottuberrol968 brake inop. Wheel spin down, retract later.
@hottuberrol968 not questioning the hot brake theory, might want to actually read something before looking like the actual Muppet! Just another tool showing his ignorance.
Somewhere there’s a first time flyer watching videos on flying to get their nerve up. Then this pops up in their suggested videos. 😂😂
@@randygreen007 Many years ago I was sitting on the flight deck looking into the terminal and the tv was showing the film Airplane / Flying High, which I thought was amusing considering the passengers were about to board a night flight in a turboprop.
Better to forget to raise the gear after takeoff than to forget to lower it before landing.
2:50 is there particular reason airbrakes didnt extended evenly or its just shitty maintenance ?
That is normal operation for a Boeing 737 Max.
Different hydraulic systems, so timing will be out, slightly.
"Chased by it's own shadow." yeah, that's how shadows work...
Unless you are moving towards the light source, which it isn't.
True, but nice to see them get some credit! 😉
And they know some passegers will start standing up and getting reeady to leav as soon as the plance touches down which gives ryanair an additional 30 seconds for a quick turn around..every second counts
Still Better than being chased by the Cops!
Be a bit worrying if the shadow was going in the opposite direction!😂
👌👌 The timing on the close-out music is impeccable !
That British guy sounds like he doing a soccer commentary
Gooooooaaaaaalllllll!
About the Saudia 787, it could be a dispatch item requiring to maintain landing gear down for 2 until 10 minutes after take off, required cool down time for the ldg gear.
I ❤ trains, trams, take a ride, I have a folder on ''transportation''
(folder 2, in playlists) you will love them too :)
2:05 That Delta landed pretty gingerly. Did they dump fuel?
They can’t. Delta’s 330s don’t have fuel dump capability.
Ryanair saving fuel to keep them prices low!
2:24 Which landed first?
I always wondered why pilots never used the first part of the runway for landing. Then I learned about margin of error.
TCH…
It’s called landing performance and the SOP is to cross the landing threshold at 50ft - lower than that and you risk hitting things before the start of the runway. It is a REGULATORY REQUIREMENT
That Ryanair landing is NORMAL for Skiathos.
It is abnormal to cross the runway threshold below 50ft. End of. The fact a lot of pilots do it at Skiathos just means they are doing it wrong, not that it is normal.
Yours, a 16,000hr 737 Training Captain who checked pilots out for Cat C airfields like Skiathos.
@@petesmith1924 🤣
@@petesmith1924 Plane landed after threshold and just beyond piano keys. Perfect.
I flew a 737 pro simulator into Skiathos rwy 01 and overshot because I didn't get it down in time. (I called for a TOGA but the end time of session meant the instructor basically said nah)
Short runway, with a specific approach where it is more critical to get the wheels down ASAP.
This approach seemed a little lower than usual, but shallower approach but the plane landed where it should
@@Tom_Hadler No it didn’t. It touched down at the threshold. That is far from perfect. You are supposed to cross the threshold 50ft above it, not touch down on it. You flew a ‘pro simulator’ did you? I’ve got 15,000hrs flying the real thing and training/ checking pilots for Cat C airports such as Skiathos, Samos, Funchal, Chambery etc. So I’ll take my expertise over your ‘I’ve been in a sim and think I know what I’m talking about’ guff.
And before you comment further about my hours, 1000hrs are on the B787, total 16,000, with 15,000 on the 737 from Classic through to Max.
@1:00 perhaps the Saudi airline left its gear down for a test. I flew United last year and they informed us they were going to leave the gear down for 10 minutes or so. Super loud and you’re very glad once they’ve retraced the landing gear.
One of the wheel brakes is inoperative, so they have to wait 2min for the wheels to stop spinning before retracting.
Aerosucre pilot moonlighting for Ryanair? 😄
My thought exactly!!
An Irish monk from the 6th century predicted that iron birds would fly in the sky.
Greetings from Ireland☘️
Coool! 😁👍
Landed three times on Skiathos. It’s a short runway between two bays and the only stretch of land large and flat enough for an airport.
1:00 its a hydraulic failure for my airline 😮
I saw an Air Canada video not long ago exactly like that
or brakes were too hot
not a hydralic failiure. its just a fault where the wheels get too hot and they keep them down a bit longer
@@TeamS1mplenope. One brake is inop and they have to wait 2 minutes for that wheel to come to a stop, before retraction.
That shadow shot is super dope
0:23 butter!
rare thing to say about ryanair
For Ryanair it was 😂
nobody says that
NICE LOVE IT❤❤❤
nothing wrong with the ryanair landing - right on the piano bars. good job!
Say ‘I have no idea about landing performance and where the touchdown point should be on a 737’ without using the words ‘I have no idea about landing performance and where the touchdown point should be on a 737’🙄
He touches down BEFORE the displaced threshold. He should be crossing the threshold at 50ft above it. He has COMPLETELY compromised safety.
Seen the shadow to many times to remember. Take a ship and go across the equater and see you have no shadow unless you lift your feet. You must be right under the sun. Fascinating. 😊😮
Nice
😂😂😂😂😂 not the "drop it like it's hot". I'm dead 💀💀💀💀💀
Pretty sad that the titles get increasingly click-baity.
That Ryanair was about a fuselage height above the fence which is close. He touched town right before the piano keys which is definitely short... but that's what the touchdown zone is so far down the runway to begin with.
With only 5,300 feet of runway, and over-run putting you in the water, I suspect the threshold marker is more often a target than the Aiming Point marker for commercial jets. There’s a decent bit of rubber laid down before the threshold.
@@rdspama lot of pilots landed there while being nervous. They really shouldn’t have to. The landing calculations considers the first 1000 feet in the air. So a normal landing shouldn’t be a problem.
@@rdspam it makes no difference how long the runway is - you calculate your landing performance and you can either stop with the regulatory safety margins built into the calculation or you can’t. If you can’t you don’t land. If you can you land just like you do anywhere else - crossing the landing threshold at 50ft ATE and touching down in the correct place. The threshold is displaced TO ENSURE YOU DONT HIT ANYTHING on short finals. If you pause the video, he actually touches down just before the threshold. That is a BIG no, no. He compromised safety and an ASR should have been submitted and his fleet manager involved. It’s as simple as that. Sea off either end, short runway etc etc makes NO DIFFERENCE.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 exactly, they have calculated that they can stop so there is no need to land before the threshold, which he does if you pause the video at touchdown.
@@petesmith1924 right. And I saw your responses in other places too and I totally agree with all you wrote.
Going into short runways, I’ve seen pilots do the strangest things and make it more dangerous. A lot will duck under the normal glidepath. But I’ve seen guys fly Ref minus 5. I’ve seen guys land with minimum fuel.
It’s flabbergasting sometimes.
Can we talk about how it’s exactly 3 minutes
2:59 actually.
Great video!
Thank you for this beautiful moment.
However can you please change the music to a calmer one 😊

@@spicylemon2623it wasn't his video
@@darkpixel2k what? I was saying that part of the video was from big jet TV
Great video!!!!!!!!!
The Saudia787 probably had hot brakes after taxiing out, quite common to leave the gear down on climbout to cool them and retract once the temp goes down.
Correct…..not the other bullsh1t in the comments
If your brakes are too hot you shouldn’t be taking off - you might need to reject at close to V1. On the 787 it is more likely an MEL restriction requiring you to leave the gear down for a period of time - one situation is 2 mins, another is for 10mins!!!
You’d only get hot brakes once airborne and the gear is up, so you lower it again. This is likely due to a capped brake MEL, where the wheels have to spin down before being retracted, as others have said.
NON SENSE. The crew will NEVER taxi with hot brakes. That’s why we bring BRAKE fans out to the hot brake and cool them down. And, you don’t get hot brakes from taxiing, so just stop.
@@charliechristmas5147nonsense
How many landings can a boeing make before the tyres needs to be replaced? Appears to me about after every landing!
Whats the ryanair pilot trying to do lol!
The dreamliner drops the doors early, that is a feature, the pilots dont usually retract for a while.
Saudia was cooling the brakes presumably after a quick turn
agreed
The gear pins were never removed.
You can see the gear covers retract but not the gear.
@@57silverwingsthe 787 landing gear doors automatically open a few seconds after the gear is off the ground
@@Aviator727no. More likely one of the brakes was inop and they had to let the wheel spin down to a stop, before retraction.
The 787 doesn’t do quick turns quick enough for hot brakes.
He really said " drop it like its hot😂
Surely there's 3 minutes of aviation that doesn't have that loudmouth at bigjettv
It's his fucking channel why are you complaining?
If an airplane has a brake out of service it is still permitted to fly, but the pilots have to wait about 2 minutes after takeoff for the tire to stop spinning before retracting the landing gear.
The Ryanair DID NOT TOUCH DOWN TO EARLY!!! The touchdown was past the approach end of the runway, and exactly where they should be on a short runway like this one is. The touchdown zone starts at the approach end of the runway.
The touchdown zone is 1000 feet down the runway. That’s where you are supposed to land, even on short runways.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183touchdown markers are 1000 feet and that is not standard
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Nope. It is very legal to touchdown on the key board right at the threshold of the runway. At this airport there are many videos here on You Tube of aircraft landing. They all barely clear the fence. Rather they touch down on the key board right at the approach threshold just short of the numbers of the runway or the end of the touchdown zone is up to the captain based on the conditions of their aircraft at the time of the landing.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Your statement is not correct. The “AIMING POINT MARKING” is usually about 1000 feet from the runway “THRESHOLD LINE.” The “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” usually start about half way between the threshold line and the aiming point marking. The far end on the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” end around 1000 to 2000 feet past the “AIMING POINT MARKING.” At MSY near New Orleans, the far end of the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” are 1900+ feet past the “AIMING POINT MARKING.” This depends on the length of the runway.
The far end of the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” are there because this is the end of where the runway construction is the strongest. The middle portion of the runway is usually not constructed as strong as the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE” is. The “TOUCHDOWN ZONE” begins at the “THRESHOLD LINE” and ends at the far end of the “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS.” The “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS” main purpose is due to the construction strength of the runways. The airline’s landing procedures may be based on these markings. But as far as the FAA in the US is concerned if the aircraft touches down any where between the threshold line and the far end of the touchdown zone markings, it is a legal landing. At SXM the Ryanair landed on runway 28 and there are not any “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS,” just an “AIMING POINT MARKING.” Runway 10 does have “TOUCHDOWN ZONE MARKINGS.”
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 You have ABSOLUTELY no idea what you're talking about. You're not a pilot. If you are a pilot, you need a 709 ride. Read the regs on where the Touchdown Zone is. Go ahead, I'll wait. They're the same in the USA and ICAO standards. I'm not even going to tell you the definition because I want you to read it and discover it for yourself so that you never make a rash response to someone who is actually correct, trying to correct them. You're wrong. The end. Read it.
0:51 sometimes plane spotters are just annoying with their comments. This time; spot on 🤣🤣🤣
I mean, it’s RYANAIR, knew it would happen some time 🤷
1:05 hot brakes. Or wheels still spinning. It’s common on the 787. You will notice the gear doors open after positive rate.
perfect landings if you ask me...
Captain, following an old practice in earlier days, leaving gear out in the airstream to cool the brakes and tires.
False advertising! The video is only 2:59. LOL
Take it off the extra 15 seconds from last week
It's not an advertisement.
The first one looks like The Island of St Maarten in the Caribbean. Happens all the time. People love it!
I would not love sucking up jet fumes.
Far from it, it's Skiathos .. Ryan Air, don't fly that far lol to the Caribbean... certainly wouldn't do long haul with them😂
UNDERWHELMING
Legend has it that the Saudi 787 is still flying around with the gear down
0:35 please no videos with talking 🙏
Watching how the flaps came up shortly after touchdown was pretty impressive. Even the angle they were pointed tells me that it also puts a lot of downforce on the plane to keep it planted on the runway as well as more braking.
*braking
@@ArthurTanner-d7s thanks for the correction!!! I really appreciate that!!!

Oh dear,I think you need to get out more.
2:30 woah, the rare, barely heard of shadow! What causes that phenomenom?
I guess he's not seen the phenomenon before!
It’s a Ryan air flight, if it lands in the city it actually claims to be going to, it’s a bloody miracle
Hey! This was only 2 minutes and 59 seconds! You owe me one second of aviation! 🛩
Just what I needed to see when I gotta fly from Stansted to Germany on September 12th for work.... With Ryanair..... 😩
That´s a perfect landing for that type of runway
that was 2 mins and 59 seconds... RIPPED OFF!!!!
Did the tires touch runway? Not too short, that leave more room in case something goes south, like brakes etc. Looked like and awesome landing to me, nice and smooth too. I've seen plenty land like that.
All of which are compromising landing performance calculations and reducing safety. They should be crossing the threshold at 50ft and NOT BELOW.
Given where the tyre rubber is on the runway, the first landing with Rynair seems like an expected landing.
Ryanair probably running on fumes when landing 😂
The people on the ground are completely unaffected by this and are just watching. The ones by the fence don’t even duck!!
