Seen that before. That can't be good for the main landing gear. Tongue

Nice vid

If I saw a plane landing like that in a real airport and I didn't know better I'd freak out Shocked

That video reassures me that air travel is safe.

Then there are the videos where the aircraft turns into a fireball.

You have no idea how much I got pissed off when the morons at CNN said the A380 landing was bad. Or when someone lands at Kai Tak off-center people say it's a bad landing. Keep your mouth shut unless you can do better.

You still cant accept that the Alitalia MD11 was a bad landing can you? Grin

Geez...you need to let it go man. And the A380 landing at LHR wasn't really a school book example. I'm pretty sure the pilots heard that one way or another. Wink

A "bad" landing in my book is one where once the plane hits the ground the wings fall off Grin

I never said those were bad landing in the video... I just said if I were a normal every day person without a hint of flying knowledge I'd freak out if a plane did that at the airport Wink

IMO, the only "bad" landing is one where you fail to land intact. Some may not look pretty and they might jar the pax a little, but at least you are on the ground again, and still alive.

I remember posting this a while ago in the FS9 thread. Although it was the version w/o the Spanish subtitles and much more appropriate music IMO! Tongue

I’m not sure what happened here, but it appears the pilot of this Jumbo decided that he was lined up for the wrong runway moments before touch down so thought that he better do something quick! ….

As for take offs I hope that the passengers of this plane were all wearing G suits! ….

That's a classic video from Kai Tak, which only had one runway Wink

There were no pax on that flight. It's from an airshow. And it's not even a 737 (as the video title suggests), but an Airbus A319

OK and I suppose you are going to tell me that this landing was intended to test the tyre pressures! ….

I'm only calling a spade a spade, and now you know the background to those videos.

Regarding the new ones you posted, the first one is an Alitalia MD11 at Kai TAk (again). And I've had a lenghty debate abotu that video. Yes the landing is a poor one.

OK, don't take my comments to heart! You seem to know a lot about these aviation clips. What then was the reason for the sudden direction change of that landing Jumbo? When I first saw it I thought it was a very cool extreme Xwind landing but having seen how the smoke from the tyres remains static after touchdown it clearly has nothing to do with Xwinds.
