BAE AVRO 146 MAKES AN VERY VERY VERY BUMBY LANDING (PRETTY STRONG GEAR) !!!!

[apriliaryan]

Holy shit...lucky those old doggs can take a beating, that got slammed down hard.

[WouterWylin]

VERY strong landing gear.. Thank god no bombardier

[TurbineProductionsX]

@WouterWylin Bombardier?

[oktal3700]

London City Airport has a 5.5 degree glide slope (angle of descent on approach) compared to 3 degrees at most airports. That's almost twice as steep. Add in the late windshear and the pilot doesn't have much option.

[Modellpecs]

It is a safe plane for sure.... :)

[badback22]

Dang it hardly wiggled, Stout Aircraft!

[Dutchbird757]

Flew those aircraft for years, always a great feeling to know it can take a beating!

[musictone100]

its fake lol

[ferrari2k]

@musictone100

You are fake lol

[TurbineProductionsX]

@musictone100 how dafuq is it fake?..

[jisgian]

whatever (non pilot) people say below, this was a GREAT landing, given the wind conditions (that are quite evident to anyone with a barely decent sense of sight) !

[agent648]

- 101004903490 ft/min to...... 0ft/min in less than a second lool sheet, some angry pasengers I'm guessing

[metalairplanes]

were here

[PCSheepy]

Any landing you walk away from is a good landing.

[kedigitalservices]

First i was like; HOLLY S--T, then I realized, Old navy pilot practicing Carrier landings! Great piloting, great plane manufacturer.

[Rwy02]

downdraft? 

[rorymacve]

Good thing Bae-146's are really robust planes! =-S

[bazman85]

i think the angle of descent is also pretty steep into LCY, but fuck those people paid to be flown around like that :(

[oseo943]

bad but lucky landing...better a go around in that conditions

[ChrisA7X89]

Good thing the RJ85 didn't flipped over on the runway. Was kinda close.

[DarkestHourRock]

yeah I would have shit myself

[PlasteredDragon]

That landing gear took a hell of a hit.

[wesseldewerk]

I believe LCY is a very dangerous airport:P

[rrrcastle]

Not just a downward shear, but also a serious crosswind. Look at the crabbing. And, as the crabbing shows, the conditions are changing moment to moment. Looks like the pilot came in a little hot (holding higher airspeed helps with control), then had to begin slowing down abruptly. I don't care if this was a woman, a man, or a chimp, it was an OK landing under difficult conditions.

[atenco01]

Why were the speed brakes deployed?  never seen them deployed prior to landing?

[ryanair737400]

does this plane use reverse thrust?

[DaVeTheTaliban]

i really do think thats fake

[virsunen2]

@DaVeTheTaliban your mom is fake.

[robert140602]

Did the pilot think he was landing on an aircraft carrier,or what?

[Hom3rTNT]

Two funny things about this

1. It was a female Captain

2. Her husband works for the CAA AAIB

[MrGamesOfficial]

he might have done a tail stike as well :-<

[maddyb91]

damn! seeing as the airport is smack dab in the middle of London, i can see why there would be such crazy airflows, due to the buildings and what not. although, that looked pretty rough, the pilots probably could've slept through that if they were sleepin in the cabin or land with instruments only

[uchilledfrance]

Quite amazing that the plane did not topple over considering the speed with which it hit the runway...amazing stuff. Wonder what kind of structural damage it had after this!!!

[RamboVital]

This is what is called verical Wind Shear from hell. Note the nose going down and while it goes down. Right before impact the nose is pulled up. Man, talking about some good piloting skills on that runaway. And you know what I would be freaking out but my niece would be putting her arms in the air and going weeeeeeeeeee............. 0.o Thats the way she is.

[alexisdiaz78]

it was not a pilot error..this phenomena called WIND SHEAR

[Bendziulikas]

@alexisdiaz78 maybe you are right, but look how the aircarft was stabilazed late! look that column had forced back really to late...

[alexisdiaz78]

sometimes referred to as windshear or wind gradient, is a difference in wind speed and direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere. Wind shear can be broken down into vertical and horizontal components, with horizontal wind shear seen across weather fronts and near the coast, and vertical shear typically near the surface, though also at higher levels in the atmosphere near upper level jets and frontal zones aloft.

[knightj60]

either that landing pad was made of nylon or the pilot had a too fast drop rate and didn't get the angle right.

[supersuperlee]

tthe sink rate was too fast.

[sahara6676]

all criticize, but those pilots? these things can happen, and happen every day. How many unnecessary controversy!!!

[bonbondesel]

hoooo!!! crazy landing !!! good luck for the maintenance !! lol !! it's not a landing ! it's a controlled crash !! the passengers must have screamed !!!

[romeo10alpha]

Shit pilot!

Tough plane!

[jackd166]

London city has a very steep decend and it was v. windy so it wasnt the pilots fault although he got of handled the situation better.

[romeo10alpha]

I'd abort landing. With that sink rate it's wonder the plane didn't fall apart

[CRANKYGERMAN]

weeeell after the 5 degree GS at London City u cant just instantly stabilise the sinkrate

[macfahad]

@hugofield1990 Yeah, well thats why you don't land if the windshear like that... GO to another airport instead of putting everyone in danger.

[computerwars]

im suprice it dint just brake.

[ereppert]

wow
