Airbus A321 Difficult Landing

[michaelslx]

These pilots are good. If the wings hit the run away, hmm forget it!!! Experience is what counts most!!!! Good job pilots!!! Great video, amazing sounds!

[SunsetApproach]

Go around Go around !!! >:O

[cadunk]

FODASSO O PILOTO HEIN

[kdescente]

Can you say 'GO-AROUND'?! Thats one hell of a crosswind landing attempt- good call on the Go Around..

[hoot72]

Man..the cross winds must have been terrible! I wouldn't want to have been in the captains seat!

[sanscouette65]

Well done pilots!!!!

[devilsfan964]

These pilots come right out of the airforce they are some of the best pilots you can get. I would know im Portuguese HAHA!!!!!!!

[stewardlie]

wow..haha...

[IrishBarFight]

the pilot handled that very nicely!

[jayeveringham]

I'd sell my soul to have seen the look on the PAX faces

[quelian]

I've been in similar situations - it doesn't look as bad from in the cabin and most pax don't realize anything is wring until after it has happened.

[kaz00you]

That is some serious cross wind going on, good call to go around

[andrepe37]

Where is the landing?

[0105352284]

thats very common wind corrections r necessary in situations like that..a go-around is a good disicion thoug

[AnBon74]

Coming in for a landing sideways...omg!!!

[LtJon25]

who was flying that plane a 4yr!

[OperaDebbie]

wow! scary!

[Myview246]

i dont understand why any1 wud agree to fly in that whether???!

[KILLINSTINCT]

Hahaha, why didn't the plane land? Just fly away again? :S

[dartanhao]

We would've crashed! too many crooswind, the pilot had to make a decision and he did a good one! just abort come for another go, if the wind remains proceed to alternate apt

[riverman81]

stupid pilot, i would done better

[jayeveringham]

"I would done better"?

I think you need to be english proficient to obtain an airline transport pilots licence these days riverman.

Maybe start there and you might have some credibility

[brydon189]

Just a little late to call a go around LOL

[cemm5]

wow that was so close. can t imagine what the passenger was thinking at the moment

[jlaymdila]

they were thinkin abt the happy moments that they passed in their life ;P...i would do that if i was in their place

[garnizefo]

TAP PORTUGAL is one of the best companies in the world, planes, pilots and cabin crew!! i fly with them all the time!!!

[garnizefo]

TAP PORTUGAL is one of the best companies in the world, planes, pilots and cabin crew!! i fly with them all the time!!!

[Gatto1788]

That was not a good pilot. Depends on how strong and varied that crosswind was, but still he was far to high coming in. At least he knew when to quit...

[dustyflair]

THAT PILOT HAS BALLS OF STEEL!!!

[th992000]

That was funny!!! LOL!

[jasonav8r]

serious crosswind.

not easy people.

good job by the pilot. gotta know when to go around.

[bento9804]

strong crosswinds, good job by the crew to go around and not attempt the landing, if it doesn't feel right, dont do it

[555dingo]

Geez.... That'd be a fun time, especially sitting right at the back..... Hahaha!!!

[dustyflair]

If I were in the back I would have needed a new set of underwear, pants, seat, seat cushion, etc CAUSE I WOULD HAVE SHIT ENOUGH TO FILL MY PANTS AND YOURS!!!!

[kvickz0r]

good job bye the pilot. Im afraid of flying and dont know why im watching this kind of clips

[sushantmohan]

Boeingrocks

tht was wat?the worst landin attempt eva?yeah,js cuz YOU can land a boein or airbus nice in flyt sim dsnt mean u knw wat to do wid a real plane,tht was prob cuz he let go of d rudder,wich made it yaw more,......nyway wat do u know abt planes?xcept fr d hrs u myt hav built up flyin flyt sim

[jonthedoors]

or mayb it woz a croswind lnding

[aaronchungrulez]

bigger than the ones in Hong Kong

[klote2314]

you suck at english

[sushantmohan]

haha ,yeah,js cuz u dun know of aviation terminologies dun mean i suck at english,...lol,....

[klote2314]

no you just suck at english

[soaringxbird]

Umm, You try controling that HUGE thing during that strong wind.

[Treycq]

He definitely had control of the aircraft, otherwise it wouldn't be in one piece. Talk about a hell of a crosswind tho lol.

[SgtSavage166]

very wise...performing a go around

life saver

[feynmanizma]

oha!

[RocketRodder]

In my opinion the pilot was wise in going back up, he probably saved all their lives..

[dinocka12]

didi it landed?

[Vlad788]

No. It had to do a circle around the airport and land again.

[Boeingrocks]

My god that was the worst landing attempt that I've ever seen!

[rusak24]

I can just picture the people inside just screaming like hell. LOL

[mogofou]

the pilot was neither a monkey nor a donkey. That was just strong cross winds and he was not alone to abort a landing this day ! the second time he achieved to land very well ! Have a look on the entire video before insulting people you stupid

[jaybedwell]

Man, his vector thrust was thrown totally out of sync with the back rudder and down pressurization technique. He should re-stabilized his drag system into G mode and backed off the trac-pads. Then he could have landed.

[kenerik]

ATC error.

Atc should inform about conditions change in final..

This results in wrong angle of descent, and to low speed.

Pilot had no change to land even if he got aligned, as he would not get lift on right wing.

Correct 40 % flap, less descent angle and higher speed would solve this fellow pilots problem.

[driftkingz109]

Maybe they changed to the wrong flaps.

[DJSomerfield]

Wouldn't of made any difference at all.

[datapad]

also TAP, though XD

[datapad]

crap... now that's kinda what happened to me when i was laning on madeira island.

[yesilike101]

I was one of passenger that crap on the seat. Sh t

[schulzepoa]

Try to imagine what people from TAM A320 in Sao Paulo feel until the airplane crash against the building...

[Trucks84]

i think he would of made it on2 the runway if he had the rudder 2 the fefl,thus,making the back of the plane turn right.

[DJSomerfield]

I don't think so. The wind was too much, don't you think he was pressing on the rudder? Even if he got aligned with the runway, can't you see the plane shaking in the last 10 or so seconds?

[aircrewswimmer]

The customary rudder deflection at the last minute in cross wind landingd wouldn't have helped. That's done simply to lighn up with the runway but this guy just din't have control of the airplane at all.

[deathmetalliberation]

fuck the landing

go somewhere else

[thewheelman101]

LOL you made me laugh!

[smexisix]

thats scary,

ive been to portugal and thank god that wasnt me.

[GreekTrajedy]

I hope the passengers were provided with diapers.

[xxxhikixxx]

awesome video.

a320 series and higher (a330,340,etc) can't stall that easily, the "alpha-floor-protection" automatically switsches to "take off - go around thrust" at too low speeds to prevent stalls.

[moviereel]

Pilot is lucky the plane didnt stall.

[frankin235]

portuguese + airbus=............

[lamyanaa]

Yes, stupid.

brasilian+airbus=crash

[PedroAlexandreLopes]

Yeah!

donkey + monkey = portuguese

[lamyanaa]

If you say that, you know why off corse

[Staubb00]

GO AROUND!!!
