Near Crash Extreme Downdraft At Gatwick

[garethnjane]

You Fuckin retard,why do you talk such shit?? you would'nt know wind shear if it kicked you in the bollocks.Near crash my arse!!!!

[JonnyHeather123]

@garethnjane... well im a pilot, as is my dad and brother so errrm..

[tom211t]

The way the guy says "did you see the wind shear" Thats the tone of, oh shit he's gonna crash... Certainly a strange occurrence there.... I wonder how far it went past the runway at that low altitude... I wonder if he gave the passengers a fright D: .

[xJAKEWx]

shut the window

[heretic0anthem666]

"Reeeaaaaally bad windshear"

Meanwhile, in the human world...

[lycoming333]

glad you filmed this!

[piannolady]

were the fuck was the drift that was crap thats what planes do du????

[GOapeshit14]

its a crosswind gust . wtf windshear

[shaunsprogress]

Near crash my arse!

[tom211t]

Thats fookin scary.

[husto88]

Great viodeo but i think more likely to be wake turbulance

[MrBackflip22]

@husto88

highly unlikely.

[GeneralGoopy]

British fags go DO something

[joshuan542]

That is a 737-300, and its not downdraft, its windshear haha

[Transfusions]

It seems the wind coming from sky is pushing down the taking off aircraft for a while.

[appleglory]

@Transfusions the wind isnt pushing down, it dropped off to a lower velocity, hence why the loss in climb and the aircraft stays at the same altitude for some time.

[NextLvlProductions]

Great view 

[Syriaacex]

that was a fart of Justin Bieber :D

[devrajvarma]

@Syriaacex

Baby barrrrrrrr......... ;-))

[Syriaacex]

@devrajvarma haha ^^

[bronco8585]

I don't know if it was really windshear... I think the pilot simply botched the rotation... He only rotated about 2/3 of the way up, I think. Maybe though-windshear=pitch down... It would b interesting to hear the Audio or talk with the pilots.

[bronco8585]

@bronco8585 Cool Video though!

[theRealTimotheus]

@bronco8585 Look again, at 0:34. He was correcting for a sudden, strong crosswind.

Wind shear = a sudden change in wind speed or direction.

[golds079]

this is really unbelieveble

[robert4810]

Crazy

[DetEJagDe]

Cool to have experienced this!!

20 maximum 33 knots, did the pilots report the windshear?

[JonnyHeather123]

@DetEJagDe Yep just after takeoff..

[1Filmproducer]

@JonnyHeather123 how did you get to that viewing space?< we drove around Gatwick for ages looking for a place like this to stop, any ideas when next passing where we can pull up for a min?

Mike

[DetEJagDe]

Cool to have experienced this!!

[SuperBen316]

WOW

[MrIhaveanopinion]

were you just sitting there in bad weather waiting for someone to crash.

[87earth]

what the problem with the guy saying "bad windshear" ? just trolls i see, good vid

[eastcowestrev]

and your point is?

[jlebesis]

Great video guys! That's quite a sight to catch!

[rsfilms3d]

nice

[bmwbmwus]

Very cool video.  Thanks.

[seatgurus]

there was something not nornal about that takeoff for about 3-5 seconds

[flyingv747]

Windshear: Full throttle / Pull up until stick shaker.

[jodecci]

Thats intense.

[tonightwefly]

Dunno why people have to write nasty or negative comments, there is nothing wrong with this video, we were all kids once sitting in the cars with our dads watching planes! fuck sake!

[KitsonLA92]

that kid needs to get laid

[JonnyHeather123]

Ive been laid 3 times. This is the side of me that the girls ..definitely.. do not see. sh.

[azmanic]

@JonnyHeather123 lol fair-play

[muntoniG60]

@KitsonLA92 lol, so if it's better to get laid then watch planes, what are you doing here? :')

[JonnyHeather123]

@muntoniG60 my girlfriends lying naked next to me.. lol

[madisonelectronic]

@JonnyHeather123 She calls you 123 cause thats how fast you come.hahahahahaha nice video.

[JonnyHeather123]

@madisonelectronic i have no idea what ure talking about lol

[WreckonizeYM]

lol at the kid.. just lol

[JonnyHeather123]

lol.. BADD WINDSHERE lol. I had problems alright! ha

[nuggetclv1992]

The winds were from 210degrees and gusting. The gust just died down and the a/c lost some lift.

[sheetbug]

Would be great if you actually fimed it

[patton303]

I love plane spotters.... my people!

[bookworm1960]

Lord, that was close!

[darthirakli]

British weather.

[phutch77]

@darthirakli beautiful british summer weather at its best!

[x360weatabix]

PLANESPOTTErS !!!!!!!!!!!

[Furious321]

Rather than that being wind shear, I believe the A330 intercepted the 737's wingtip vortices. They didn't hold short for a great enough time, and proceeded to rotate far beyond the 737's takeoff point.

[sonicfan7]

@Furious321 yeah the 737's and their huge wake turbulence!

[blaz340]

love it :D

[fgiorgio]

woooooow

[charlieiscool1000]

LOL did u see the winshare bad wineshare does your son repeact everthing u say?

[JonnyHeather123]

haha i am his son. i was the one filming, i donno i just got a bit too much into it lol

[scvs2]

humm how did you pick up the radio transmissions on the car radio?

[JonnyHeather123]

oh its not on the car radio. its on a handheld radio thing which is called an air radio. looks a bit like the first ever mobile phone

[ukv1290]

@scvs2 LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

[1091Alcatraz]

Great video man.And what made me like it more was that it actually went with the title not like other bozos who say "AIRPLANE CRASH ON VIDEO" and its just an airplane takeoff.Again great vid

[JonnyHeather123]

thanks man, haha yeah i know just what you mean. thanks

[leospy75]

pity they stopped the video coz could be interesting listen to the radio if the US pilots reported windshear...it is a procedure to comunicate windshear conditions...but in the video it s possible to hear just the lnd aut. for the next aircraft...

[JonnyHeather123]

I know i shoulda kept rolling! but about a minute after i stopped filming, the US did report windshear on takeoff and at about 200ft!

[wompasdub]

@JonnyHeather123 It's cool that you got a comparison of the two.

[gilz16]

@JonnyHeather123 VERY VERY nice! thanks for sharing it

[TurbofanDude]

I have flown Cessnas and traveled in SWA737s often. I have never in my life seen a takeoff like that. I would have about crapped my pants. Windshear or not, it was heavy wind, a heavy plane and a wet runway, bad combination. Nice video!

@Michael55443

I respect you for the things you said. My philosophy has always been if you don't like the video, don't watch it. Good man.

[leospy75]

As Professional pilot i can say that ws not windshear..was just an heavy take off

[JonnyHeather123]

clearly not a professional pilot then

[istvanklein]

I'm not a professional pilot but I do think it was more than just a heavy take-off. If you freeze the picture at 0:37 you'll see the plane, having already been airborne, touch down again. That's not normal during any take-off, heavy or not.

[JonnyHeather123]

Im not sure it touched down again, i think thats just the horizon that looks like the runway. But i agree with you that its more than heavy. It banks to the right just after lift-off which doesnt normally happen!

[istvanklein]

Exactly. At any rate, it was a serious incident.

[Racerjames666]

That is uuuugly. Wouldn't want to be in the left seat that day! My hometown airstrip is LCAO: PASI. Somewhere on youtube is a final approach on Rwy-11...scariest plane ride ever!

[Michael55443]

Terrible quality video. You totally miss the best part because of the blurry window. Why even tape something like that?

[JonnyHeather123]

First of all, thats not the quality thats the rain. Secondly you clearly are a newb cos u dont have to see the plane clearly to know whats going on.

[Michael55443]

@JonnyHeather123

A blurry video is acceptable then? Great! I didn't know this. I bet you've posted many videos of blurry UFO's too, right? And what the hell does newb mean in this context? Am I supposed to be well-versed in wind-shear? I must have missed that class in high school. LOL! Face it, this video is a FAIL.

[JonnyHeather123]

LOL! I have to admit that was funny. You did tottally rinse me there lol. I give up! But id agree that it was a fail.. but all the other people are telling me more about this vid than i know so im guessing the rains not too bad.. even if it is england!

[Michael55443]

@JonnyHeather123

Don't listen to me, I'm an asshole. I picked on your video and I shouldn't have. Sorry.

[JonnyHeather123]

yeah but everyone on youtubes an asshole lol its cool:)

[Michael55443]

@JonnyHeather123

I am part of the problem on YouTube and that's not cool. Sorry.

[frtyjhg8]

GOOD MAN BROTHER!

[rachaelmatt]

whats windshear??

[JonnyHeather123]

well.. i thought it was when a block of wind pushes down on a plane not giving it lift. but thats downdraft apparently lol

[panictactics]

The computer would have made the point 'Windshear' and 'Don't Sink' repeatedly because it is a fuck off computer.

[bitemysausage]

your mother has wind shear

[frtyjhg8]

"YOUR MOM" hahahaha ...LOL...

[Hellracer1]

Thanks for sharing!!!... wasn't that like wake turbulence?? just wondering i don't know!!

[JonnyHeather123]

Yeah something like that.. i dont really know so i just put downdraft lol. Anyone know what caused this...?

[istvanklein]

I'm pretty sure your description of it as downdraft is correct. This is what typically happens in a windshear situation during takeoff. The right wing effectively stalled as it lost lift due to windshear. As far as I can see the right landing gear touched back down on the runway before lifting off again. You captured a rare and pretty serious incident here.

[fleemanson]

i love planes i just don't like going on them...Leave me alone? o.O

[sid77777]

amazing..thanks for sharing this :)

[fleemanson]

wow why are people marking my comments as thumbs down for saying i am scared of flying o.O fuck..

[FerrariF108]

fleemason - probably because you said "fuck flying" and people who look at these types of videos LOVE Planes!

[JonnyHeather123]

lol

[Noneofyoubusiness123]

You have a sexy voice btw

[JonnyHeather123]

im a girl.. i love you

[Noneofyoubusiness123]

Thanks...

[michslav]

The area you were filming from is meant to be for authorised persons and vehicles only. If security catch you down there they wont be best pleased.

[JonnyHeather123]

And your mum wont be best please if she finds out your not in bed by 8.30 tonight.

[michslav]

I wasn't having a go or anything, just letting you know.

[JonnyHeather123]

okay sorry, fair enough lol. But as my dad worked at the airport, he had a pass which gets him into those areas.

[sootyr]

brilliant video, well captured!

[dva511]

how u got the atc inside the car?

[boeingt]

i think its of those scanner things which u can buy and use  to listen to ATC chatter

[JonnyHeather123]

yeah it looks like a walkie-talkie and you can just tune it into the frequency of any atc. pretty cheap some of them aswell.

[britishagentTV]

Are they expensive?

I spot at DFW occasionally and I'd love to have one...

[JonnyHeather123]

umm.. they range from like £20- £100.. but the cheap ones are good too!! wheres dfw?

[britishagentTV]

DFW, Texas. Dallas/Fort Worth.

It's the largest airport in the nation.

[tbmavengerstuka]

no its not...

[britishagentTV]

By square footage, I think...

[tbmavengerstuka]

nope, Denver takes the lead for area. DEN is the largest in the US, 2nd in the world

[britishagentTV]

What about terminal sq. ft.?

[JuzzChiln]

Derated thrust is supposed to save the life of the engines, but not at the cost of the takeoff climb profile. Something was surely wrong here. it was barely climbing.

[itsumonihon]

downdraft. but they would have been at full thrust because the runway conditions were wet, it's not even an airline policy decision but a boeing / airbus decision that wet runway conditions = full takeoff thrust.

[eadssocatatb10]

That's not true, derated thrust may not be used  on contaminated runways or in known windshear/turbulence conditions

[itsumonihon]

that's what i said

[eadssocatatb10]

no, a wet runway is not always contaminated (0.25cm standing water or equivalent amount of slush, snow)

[GreatRailwayJourneys]

The GPWS must of been screaming Windshear in the cockpit.

[JonnyHeather123]

Im gonna change it to 'near crash, extreme DOWNDRAFT at gatwick' to make everyone happy :) lol

[adamair5]

they acctully dont put engines to 100% mor like 90 %

there was no windsheer there

[nenarnenar]

r u  kiddin the thing like dropped/right wind dipped...thats windsheer

[jetboy66]

I know it was raining, but they should have had the window open and you could have seen it much clearer. There definetly was something amiss with that rotation. It looked like it lifted up, maybe got up about 20-30 feet and then it appeared that the right wing dipped back down and the 330 didn't generate any lift for about 3 or 4 seconds. It then seemed to recover and begin it's acsent.

[lahluv]

the first on e is a 737

[Kobeydurham]

whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kobeydurham]

WHOA!!!!!!!

[nxge]

one thing for sure, that is NOT windshear. It doenn't metter how powerfull the a330 is compared to the 737 because the a330 could have been on derated thrust settings implying a longer takeoff roll. As you can see towards the end of the video, it starts to climb at pretty much the same angle as the 737, just taking a little longer to get there, that's all!!!!!!!!!!!

[JonnyHeather123]

ok thanks! ...but lol... i do have a video of a 777 making a better v2 climb out than that on the same day, about 10 minutes earlier. lol

[megadeth747]

Sorry but err, whats windshear? lol

[JonnyHeather123]

lol.. pretty much when wind pushes down on a plane and doesnt help it to lift..

[megadeth747]

ahh ok, i didnt even know wind could push down lol

abit like crosswind except it pushes down insted of accross

cheers buddy

[Kentuckyhorse1]

Not accurate, your confusing downdrafts. Wind shear is when there is a sudden change in wind direction or speed, doesn't have to be going down to be windshear - can be from any direction but generally is vertical.

[Kentuckyhorse1]

It's when there is a change in wind strength or direction suddenly occurs. Low level wind shear usually occurs during a temperature inversion when the wind is about 25 knots or more.

Basically, in this case, the plane was going for example, 160 kts through the air, enough for it to take off. Suddenly the wind stops by lets say 20-30 kts, so the plane is now only flying 130-140 kts, therefore the lift of the plane is decreased until the plane can get back up to say 160 kts.

[froquettee]

lol dude they make it the highest power set u dumb ass to get as high and as fast as possible

[nxge]

errrr, not really. If for example the runway length is quite large as in gatwick, they use something called a derated thrust takeoff, look it up before you make up shit that goes on in your little world. dumb ass!!!!!!!!!!!

[nxge]

its mainy done to improve cost effectiveness

[robejpa]

Shut up douchetard you have no idea what you're on about.

[pkay098]

that wasnt windshear u dumbass its just coz the A330 is so much heavier it cant climb out as fast as the 737

[JonnyHeather123]

fucking idiot if you knew anything about planes you would know that the a-330 climbs out much faster than that...  ive seen 747s on a worse day than that climb out twice as fast

[qolaxbenchwarmer07]

I dont think it was windshear...its just a typical day in england...gusty

[JonnyHeather123]

well to be honest gatwick has not changed at all really in the last 5 years lol. but i live pretty much under the approach to gatwick and go there sometimes during bad weather or whatev.. and i havnt seen this 330 there in a long time!!!

[peterze1018]

as far as im aware, us airways only operates airbus's a330-300s.

[ImmortalSynn]

Not sure if you had a scanner or not... but was there any notification by the crew to the tower, or vice versa?

Also, what did the departures immediately after do? Ground halt?

[JonnyHeather123]

well.. it was a long time ago, but as far as i can remember, there was a report to the tower of windshear about 10 mintues before the 330 takeoff.. but leading up to the 330, no other planes had any problem.

and after it, windshear was then reported again by the 330 pilot at 10 feet, but nothing else was done about it after it. there was also a big crosswind which obviously didnt help.

[ImmortalSynn]

...how long ago was it?

[JonnyHeather123]

ooo ummm well im 15 now.. so im guessing 3 years ago... maybe!?! lol
