Difficult Landings, New Zealand Commercial Aircraft

[justanothergreysky]

A lot of these are test flights. They do these crosswind "crab landings" as part of landing gear stress tests, not during regular landings. Several of the planes had obvious markers of test planes (like the one simply tagged "Boeing 777"). Others were part of airshows or stunts, like the 747 landing on the seaside airport.

@justanothergreysky LOL seaside airport is/was Kai Tak in Hong Kong,closed now because too dangerous. And that was NOT an airshow,just a regular commercial flight dude...! Useally 747's don't do airshow,very very rare,it's not a Piper Cub and the running costs are a bit higher... Ask John Travolta..!

[TESTASPEEDER]

and BTW the Korean 747 did align the Rwy 10 or 20ft too soon,you can see the aircraft gets blown away to the left side and the engine n° 1 cowling almost gets in contact with the Rwy.

I never knew planes could drift in the air :o

[TESTASPEEDER]

@UnDeCiDeDCnR Yes they can,it's a simple matter of aerodynamics. Aircrafts can crab or drift,crab is just rudder input with your feet to get the nose of the aircraft into the crosswind just to keep the correct heading. Drift is simple (hum) obtained by inversing the flight commands,to for ex. loose much airspeed (bad aerodynamics) without loosing altidude. Usually commercial planes do not drift. And IMO,I don't see in this vid aircrafts drifting,only crabbing,it's not the same.

2:01 The good ole days when you could run onto the airfield to film the landing.

[unrug22]

[cablgi]

Not all the airports shown in the clip are in New Zealand.

[burcmm]

Nice video, horrible horrible horrible music. This group should be ashamed of themselves if they ever put an album in the market with this song.

[TamaThePeck]

INDEED! France would be such an amazingly lovely country if it weren't so full of frenchies. =D

(and just for those retards who don't understand that what I said was a joke, go nuts. I don't care what you say)

[85217737]

wellington new zealand thats soooooo true, the wind there blows everything away lol

[outwestlawns]

I always wanted to know who did the test flights for the 767 and 777, specially the 777 crosswind tests. They are very very smooth, was it computer controlled approach?

[SweatyFunSeeker]

i heard a women was the pilot of the triple7 during the crosswind tests

[Borck103]

does it really make a difference?

[SweatyFunSeeker]

no just saying what i heard

[maximorel]

WEAPON WEAPON ^^

[gbthecoach]

Great music and awsome...Man some of you need to chill.....One of my favs on Youtube

[homerboy488]

Hy retard, take your camera and smash it with a hammer. Then take the hammer and smash your retarded fingers so you can never post any more stupid videos. And what's up with that fucking jungle music! Geez asshole, do us all a favor and stop using the computer.

[Flatwheels01]

The actuall ticketprice is okay....it's the tax that pisses me off. I fly to my wife , who lives in Japan, a few times a year. Amsterdam - Narita. Now the actuall ticketprice is around 350 euro but the freaking tax is about the same..ah well..who cares...hahaha NICE VID! gonna try that NZ strip myself now in fsx.

[cougar33999]

it says new zealand but .....

[jetstream4]

When did fighter jets become recognised as commercial aircraft?

Good Video

[gamwam]

it says new zealand but you have footage from kai tak in there?

[eeknl]

and soms crosswind landing testing with a 777 what took place in states

[musedude78]

yes and (she) is the best cross wind landing pilot they use here for there tests all the time

[Shmooooon]

watch A380 crosswind tests in iceland at keflavik they are pretty impressive

[eal1011]

Wow cross winds can be nasty. Requires skilled pilots.

[elliottk94]

1:08 is in iceland and 1:45 is zurich

[ChocOwlEt]

haha my country is awesum!!!!!!

New Zealand is beautiful. It is sad they stole it from people though.

[sadius666]

There are a lot of countries that have been "stolen" from the original inhabitants. Get over it.

[Reqrezentin]

I don't have a problem with it you homo. I just feel sorry for the native people.

[ChocOwlEt]

i don't they robbed my house, im living with my auntie coz the maoris took everything and torched my house!!!

give your pity to the aborigiones, they ACTUALLY got thier country, kids, and family stolen from them and they couldn't fight back

[Reqrezentin]

Hahahahha they torched your house? Hahaaahahahahahahhaah I am actually crying of laughter

[ChocOwlEt]

[agfaclan]

[origin8]

Not all these landings are in NZ - but yes - Wellington can be a bit scary when the wind blows through (which happens quite a bit)...

[LetsKillSquirrels]

[muralisubr]

Quite interesting landings though
