Lufthansa MD-11 Smoky Landing! HD.

[HartsfieldSpotting]

nice!! subbed! sub back?

[stevekach]

he put her down!!!

[koeppe]

sehr schöne Aufnahme...,ich wünschte wir würden merh davon hier in DUS sehen.

[trainguy3]

Copilot must've taken that one lolol jk I hav extreme respect for these guys

[tomcatter11]

the MD-11 despite, the centre gear issue has the fuel saving wingtip extensions. DC-10 variants never had those.

[wilboeing]

The only sexy aircraft.

[ANZ787]

Awesome video! You've got my sub!

[Coaljet]

I read some time back that the MD11 requires that you initiate flare at 50' AGL. That might have accounted for the hard touchdown, because it looks like he was a bit lower than that.

[Mirikashitakuari25]

hard landing ive seen so far :)

By a cargo plane.

[uvidmaster]

beautiful

[Roberto7474001]

Why did it smoke so much? Was he really heavy or something?

[kaju1109]

beautiful aircraft

[TheMeslava]

Pause at 34 seconds in HD. You can see it says MD-11 Freighter.

[TheMeslava]

@Ryad040492 Or the guy who said it's a DC-10 can put HD video on, and see the fact that it says MD-11 right on the fuselage of the plane. :)

[titanascar]

For some reason I don't think there is a need for middle wheel.....just sayin

[azlee19]

@titanascar middle wheels are for weight distribution due to heavier weight of md-11 :) with no middle wheels, engineers have to redesign the original landing gear to make it stronger thus higer cost

[titanascar]

@titanascar oh...okay:)

[quizmaster9]

holy smoke its smokey

[Jonfocus03]

HARD landing!!

[Caveman25Mr]

wow u wernt fuckin kidding when u said hd!!!!!

[Ryad040492]

the smoke effect was caused by the friction of the tire in contact with the runway

[mrdiddlydonk]

Same controller for the thomson birdstrike me thinks.

[bote117]

hahaha stupid guy who said "That's a DC-10, not an MD-11" pause the vid at 0:35 and you´ll see "MD-11 Freighter" hahaha stupid

[firiaxis]

wow that was a hard landing

[MrBeatTheWorld]

Internet Freedom will soon be gone. Google "ACTA"...

[PlaneHDSpotting]

I would call this video "Lufthansa MD-11 Hard Smoky Landing! ", What do you think of that? I don't mid if you don't like it it is up to you. In my opinion that is what i would name it. Maybe watch the video twice and you might agree with me!!

[lionking4iscomingIV]

i wish flight simulators looked like this

[funandy97]

Absolutely an Amazing Video!!!!

[TheAirproxx]

viril, mais correc...

[banouha123]

hard landing 

[pilotsimu]

So beautiful landing !!!!

[hbiwc]

where did the plane arrive from?

[64h5dsf14j6s41h5s4j5]

0:46 actually the callsign of lufthansa cargo is "German Cargo"

[blueb0g]

@64h5dsf14j6s41h5s4j5 Yes, of course, LH Cargo's pilots and ATC from around the world are just wrong. FYI, LH Cargo's radio callsign = Lufthansa. Aerologic's radio callsign = German Cargo

[64h5dsf14j6s41h5s4j5]

@blueb0g sorry for that. of course it´s aerologic. mixed it up with the GEC flight numbers of LHC

[blub77]

@64h5dsf14j6s41h5s4j5

actually the ICAO Code for Lufthansa Cargo (GEC) originates from it's predecessor "German Cargo", but ATC callsign is "Lufthansa Cargo"

[64h5dsf14j6s41h5s4j5]

@blub77 I know that. just mixxed it up

[DTl315]

Is there an actual difference between the DC-10 and the MD-11 because they look exactly the same?

[mutestyles]

@DTl315 MD-11 is bigger and has winglets. Also on the cargo version it has smaller vertical stabilizers than the passenger MD 11 and the DC 10 has larger vert stabs as well. Larger wingspan than a DC 10 and a smaller tailplane and newer engines.

[ghettoperson257]

@DTl315 yes the MD-11 has wignlets the DC-10 doesnt the MD-11 is larger and skinnier the DC-10 is shorter and fatter and the tailplanes on the MD-11 are shorter than those of a DC-10s

[iApplePlane]

nice sound and quality :)

[rokc787]

ouch :D

[hotelgulf]

Excellent smokey landin!

[JVonDamage]

Seems like it was a female that was pilot flying. Apparently she likes it rough ;)

[simonrichter2]

when you look closely, you see the aircraft bouncing.

[MetroCammellDMUs]

I'm not 100% sure but I think I saw a Lufthansa MD11 heading into Manchester on 21st 22nd December 2011. I assume it was a MD11 as the wings were slightly further back on the fuselage and I think I saw a bit of the 3rd engine on the tail fin with the Lufthansa logo

[sobelou]

Great vid!! and BTW, even though the crosswind wasn't that bad, it's clear that the pilot was fighting the wind on finals, and in this case a firm landing is called for. You start jerking around for a buttered landing and might find yourself either landing on the grass or having a wing pushed down before the other, it was the correct landing technique, and the big girl can totally take it.

[0433DJNAYLOR]

That's a DC-10, not an MD-11.

[blueb0g]

@0433DJNAYLOR No. It's an MD-11.

[christianniemeijer97]

@0433DJNAYLOR Yup, that is definitely an MD-11... Sorry to disappoint you man

[shaunsprogress]

@blueb0g MD 11F!

[navyfreek1129]

@0433DJNAYLOR 0:33 - it actually says MD-11 on the side of the plane.. :/

[arubananne]

@0433DJNAYLOR your a DC-10

[BreakB97598]

@0433DJNAYLOR I'm pretty sure dc-10s doesn't come with winglets

[dskxalive]

@BreakB97598 Continental fitted one of their DC-10's with winglets just to test the fuel consumption =D

[TheBoeingFan]

@0433DJNAYLOR LH Cargo just has MD-11F

[kirk0br]

@0433DJNAYLOR Search here the difference between MD-11 and DC-10: google.com

[Tomcather]

@0433DJNAYLOR Look the fucking winglets jerk

[blancfilms]

@0433DJNAYLOR dc-10 does not have winglets and is shorter ;)

[Ryad040492]

@0433DJNAYLOR

MD-11 and dc-10 may have similarities, but the big difference is the presence of winglets in MD-11

[IDONTKNOWWHYTOO]

@0433DJNAYLOR U R DUMB SIR

[FlyingDutchMan225]

@0433DJNAYLOR MD-11 has winglets, a DC-10 not. At that way you can recognize them. (forgive my bad English, please)

[morgoth390]

@0433DJNAYLOR

Listen any true plane spotter can tell thats aan MD11

[bobac1083]

@morgoth390 dont we all love dumbass people who think they know everything? :P Obviously its a MD-11...

[tclktrainlover147]

@0433DJNAYLOR If it is a MD-11, it has winglets, if it is a DC-10, it doesn't have winglets.

[josesillo0789]

@0433DJNAYLOR dude dont get confused, as you can see the md11 have a landing gear at the center of the fuselage, the dc-10 doesnt.

[mick6269]

@josesillo0789 It was just the DC10-10 that didn't have the centre main landing gear .The rest of the DC10s did.

[josesillo0789]

@mick6269 No they didnt, they are MD-11, but on the other hand if the dc10 would still on production, should have winglets too, cause is like an update for the old aircrafts to reduce the turbulence on the wing, but the dc-10 production stop before this happen. (sorry for my bad english, im mexican) so if you see that things, the winglets and the landing gear at the center of the fuselage, then you can be sure that is a MD-11 ;)

[blueb0g]

@josesillo0789 No... He's right, only the DC-10-10 didn't have centre mains, all other DC-10 had centre main gears too. Go and look it up.

[trainguy3]

@0433DJNAYLOR look at the winglets and engines dude lol its ok

[aLLmeiti]

@0433DJNAYLOR That's is a MD-11!!!!

[MyEmpire91]

she sometimes needs a hard landing..

[MrMadlion24]

anyone who view my vids and subscribe to me i will do the same for you

[expalman]

Very nice, clear, sharp focussed video. Can I ask (I checked quickly if someone already asked, sorry if this is a duplicate) what is the camara you are using?

[hendrii1]

nice plane i fly on the ups md-11

[TEHEPICBROS]

great capture!

[sirhorry]

Another subscriber!

[ninjadude92584]

You sir has a new subscriber.

[Brauiz90]

Looks like home - I'm living near Airport Leipzig/Halle (LEJ). They have a base here, just like DHL. When they're landing on the southern runway, they're flying over our house. That's crazy and totaly loud.

[lametta007]

niiiiceeeeeeee

[Byron10301]

Lufthanza has one of the best looking logos in the world ... I love Iran Air's also, but IranAir is a dead airline nowadays so .... Achtung! Achtung! Arschloch! Arschloch!

[boeingairbus1000]

quite bumpy landing

[buffallobill007]

absolutely awesome !

[skbenergy]

hard ass landing but smooth and nice video!

[lego473]

that plane looks like a DC-10

[blueb0g]

@ZZZFROMHELLZZZ Or just buy the DVD's legally and support a good company?

[ZZZFROMHELLZZZ]

@blueb0g why waste money and support gay german comppany?

[lauriersroses333]

@ZZZFROMHELLZZZ lufthansa is the best company in europe , so u know that LOL what about ur airlines?? do u have one in georgia?

[ZZZFROMHELLZZZ]

@lauriersroses333 i dont mean lufthansa idiot, i mean aignermedia, wich makes pilotseye films

[lauriersroses333]

@ZZZFROMHELLZZZ u sound MAD at me !! so u dnt have airlines in georgia!

[jlebesis]

Man this is amazing, great quality, and what a capture :)

[unixkid52]

Lufthansa Md-11 has only cargo Lufthansa?

[Magyar9Andras]

Which tripod and head do you use? Looks really smooth

[blueb0g]

@Magyar9Andras I use a Velbon DV-7000, thanks!

[astoniz]

@blueb0g with Panasonic HDC-HS60 ?



[TheHDvideographer]

@Magyar9Andras I have the same as him, its an amazing tripod, really sturdy and has perfect panning!

[McPrfctday]

Is that because the plane is so heavy? Or are there puddles on the runway?

[YMBatal]

@McPrfctday Rubber tires tend to burn when moved from 0 to the plane's speed upon touchdown in milliseconds, it's what they do... it's what we love ;)

[sixstringfretter]

That'll leave a little extra rubber on the concrete.

[BerlinAviationVideos]

now that´s a cloud! this runway seems to have a difficult slope.

[MrEvanbean]

Good thing about cargo, boxes can't sue if you touch down too hard ;)

[inbrekers11]

MD-11 is like a girl with 3 breasts :D

[blueb0g]

@inbrekers11 Nah, she's sexier than that ;)

[AdamAviation]

@inbrekers11 What does that make the Antonov An-225 then?

[elton9876]

@inbrekers11 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I loooooove breasts. Two is enough.

Three is one too many so misbehaviour. (-: But is this a McDonnell Douglas DC 10 in cargouitvoering?

[StCatharinesRailFan8]

@elton9876 This is an MD-11. you can tell by the winglets

[HongKongBoyz100]

@inbrekers11 hahaha! i just watched "Paul" and a lot of the movie showcased this girl with three tits :P i immediatley thought of the md-11

[tigersfanatic98]

@inbrekers11 the antonov 225 is like a girl with 6 breasts :D

[inbrekers11]

@tigersfanatic98 In that case, what's the Hughes Spruce Goose than xp? 8 breasted women ftw?

[tigersfanatic98]

@inbrekers11 yes!!!! ftw

[RVideoDesign]

NICE!

[sghost77]

hi.  which kind of camara you record'?? what type??? brand??

[blueb0g]

@sghost77 I use a HDC-HS60, thanks.

[TheAirplaneMaster]

Since it's a cargo plane, all the glass on there is probably shattered.

[hondacl0n3]

Thats the thing with MD-11's, like honestly there waaay to bouncy, no wonder there all cargo, id rather ride on scrapped ones...

[Adelgary777]

"Assault landing"

[guigoncio97]

bam! touchdown ladies and gentleman

[richnea2]

Why does this aircraft type have three engines? A boeing 767 and 777 which I think look bigger only have two.

[lolitstinks1]

@richnea2 The MD-11 is an upgraded model of the DC-10, which I believe was created in response to airlines wanting a plane that could carry a similar amount of passengers to the 747 but would use less fuel. Someone should clarify this, I'm not sure.

[blueb0g]

@lolitstinks1 Broadly correct. 

[kar6981]

holy shit

[starbreez3]

Haha, very nice video, thank you!

I think it was due to the autobraking settings?

[TheGleeVids]

WHAT MAKES THE TIRE SMOKE?

[daniektessa]

WOW he's really vast on the runway, amazing.

[22cibe]

lufthansa CARGO XD

[blueb0g]

@22cibe LH Cargo being an arm of Lufthansa it's correct to call this Lufthansa. You'll notice that the titles during the video show Lufthansa Cargo MD-11F, as does the description and the tags & thus it's easy to conclude that the "cargo" omission was made from the title of the video to create a more concise video title.

[22cibe]

@blueb0g notices the XD ? little redundant note , mate !

[blueb0g]

@22cibe I did actually get that but decided to reply anyway as if I had not because it kind of annoyed me :P

[22cibe]

@blueb0g kp was meinst aber gut , cooles vid , man !

[blueb0g]

@22cibe Danke Shon! (Ich habe keines Umlaut auf miener Tastatur)

[Sicklehead88]

@blueb0g well, i have a german keyboard, but just for you: alt plus 132 ä (0228) alt plus 137 ë (0235) alt plus 148 ö (0246) alt plus 225 ß (0223) alt plus 129 ü (0252) alt plus 142 Ä (0196) alt plus Ë (0203) alt plus 153 Ö (0214) alt plus 154 Ü (0220) for the nice videos ;-)

[BigRiggers0109]

How'd you like to smoke up my runway?

[ermollejuo]

This guy maybe was thinking of a carrier..by the way nice video

[SFLRailFan]

Heavy take offs and landings... That's what I love about freighters. Good post. ;-)

[flyboy8492]

lol, bit of a rough landing..

[rory3107]

Its probably heavy cargo, cargo doesn't complain but aeroplane landing gear does, and so do the maintenance men!

[djwilson33]

No passengers, so why worry about a smooth touchdown? Cargo doesnt complain!

[paramvirpilot]

all cargo landings are rough :P

[Meirele]

Beautiful plane, ugly trees...



[TheThomasTT]

Pilot : Shall we land slowly?

Copilot: I dunno

Pilot: Agh , i dont care , lets do the smoky and bouncy way!!

CoPilot: WHAT?

[blueb0g]

@markietheboss1 "For the win"

[VivaLaEmil1]

@markietheboss1 for the win -.-

[3goldy]

it's "little dusty"! not smoky...

[blueb0g]

@3goldy Well it's smoke. And it's not dust. So it's smoky.

[kimuragenru]

very nice video. the quality is amazing !!

[manudan93]

this cargo planes just dont need to touch down smoothly, no one cares..

exept the company, it has to buy more tires for the plane ..

[FF35Pilot]

@manudan93 or the compensation for the broken Ming vase :/

[tvstealer]

touchdown!

[blueb0g]

@tvstealer Hit it marines! (Sorry, Halo reference... couldn't stop myself...)

[top79gun]

Awesome! 

[DKF22]

funny how like 70% of the people commenting criticize the landing.

[FlightSimMega]

Just amazing!!

[Helicopterpilot16]

Wow great videos, Could you watch a few of mine, yet I'm no where as good as you.

[shameho]

very hard landing

[75426168]

good job the camera work is amzing

[HSTcallum]

I hope that MD-11 wasn't carrying any fragile objects :S

[Terrier7091]

great video but f*** landing :-)

[LoveJT8D]

Awesome video. I love the old tri-jets. Definitely one-of-a-kind.

[larrybueno]

BAD FLARE!

[jeffry747]

Miracle he didn't break that plane. Touchdown was too hard, and a derotation and nosegear touchdown like that can actually buckle the fuselage. UPS had an MD land like that once and the total repair bill was over $10 million. Lufthansa should definitely send a memo out to pilots on how to put this bird on the ground safely. Other than that, nice video!

[mantyla1]

@jeffry747

Jeffry, I would love to see you talk to the pilot who landed and then have a discussion about this landing. You wouldn't stand a chance, since you don't seem to know anything about landing a plane safely, not to mention landing the MD11.

[jeffry747]

@mantyla1 I may not be a licensed MD pilot, but I DO know a thing or two about landing the MD-11. I see scores of UPS MD-11 landings every night, so I think I'm a pretty good judge of good and bad landings I've read articles and pilot notifications on how to properly handle the plane, as well as reviews and opinions of those who DO fly it. And I sure as hell can land the MD-11 on Flight Simulator. Beautifully I might add. I full well acknowledge the MD is VERY tricky to land properly.

[mantyla1]

@jeffry747 There are many variables involved in landing the MD11 properly, especially the cargo variant, landing weights between 150 tons and 220 tons, position of the CG, above average Vapp, gusty winds, different power settings associated with either a flaps 35 or flaps 50 etc. You as an outsider are in no position to judge only by the look of this landing that the company should put out a 'memo to the pilots on how to put this bird on the ground safely'. We already know, thanks.

[sotwot]

check out my a380 video at manchester airport

[TheZockerboy93]

a very hard landing

Puuhh

[TurboExpo1]

Attention to cargo pilot

" Fragile do not perform a hard landing "
