Very Hard 737 Landing into Southampton Airport

[rossrobinson1000]

See here is the thing that I get really angry about the airlines name Thomson NOT Thompson ^^

[meerkatist]

Landing's always the scariest part of flying!

[prglg]

I'm waiting for the "hard landing".......

[ehsan83]

Over speeding forces pilot to hit the plane on the ground. Again several same movements with this aircraft & it will break into several pieces later on !

Absolute catastrophic landing

beautiful residential area just by the airport...

[dntist]

This is one of the dangerous things that can happen when they hire people based on their public relations and not on their skills...terrible but true..

[Pvjinflight]

@dntist Bullshit, this was perfectly normal landing. Your pathetic countrys economical situation is good example about that, not this landing.

[dntist]

@Pvjinflight Haha nice answer mate ;o) I hope you keep your public relations up to date!!

[Jorissvz]

the boy at 0:38 BOOM!

[VGN737]

a bit hard but not so terrible ...it was windy...

[corkaviation]

What was with the girl screaming

[theloganloganlogan]

It doesn't sound like the reverse thrusters came on at all. Usually just after landing you can hear the reverse thrusters.

[orangealex17]

"Ooof" was the word when you landed! 

[Cookie61293]

Know what, it's so fun when you experiance a hard landing! ; )

[imlr104]

I can see my house, and the field I walk my dog in... at 13/14 seconds in :)

[MrWindowsvista]

das ging noch, da gibt es wesentlich schlimmere!

[neveneffect1]

Children should be transported as luggage, in the cargo compartiment

[TheAirflyer]

@neveneffect1 i agree, in the last year, i make a flight Cancun - Madrid, on a 747-400, and guess what was at the front seat....5 children in 4 seats, they hit my face with the their seat.........i am 13 year old, but i don't do those stupid thigs in the airplane.....WTF is this..a 11 hours flight with that noise....They don't stop those stupid things.....because their parent thing the other passengers dont care about that.....F****** Bastars

[neveneffect1]

@TheAirflyer I'm 15 years old, and when I came back from Kenya, in the two seats behind me where 2 children pulling at my chair than pushing it I tried to sleep but I couldn't because the mother of the children wanted to see outside and for some reason she wanted to look outside through my window, so there I sat for 7 hours in the sun, with noisy shit-heads breaking down my chair.

[TheAirflyer]

@neveneffect1 that appens to me, but only pulling and pushing my chair....but next time that appens to me i will turn arround and punch their faces

[neveneffect1]

@TheAirflyer haha! than all of a sudden it's quiet and than they sit there watching you, having no clue at all why you did that! And the rest of your flight will be nice and quiet:)

[TheAirflyer]

@neveneffect1 Yeah....my flight will be better

[L77890]

@TheAirflyer i had that on a flight back from Faro it was awfulwhy do parents let their children do that (im 13 too)



[TheAirflyer]

@L77890 im 14 now, lol, and yes, parents let children do that, they don't care, because, if they tell them to be quiet, they will start crying. -.-

[samueljcat]

Only 1700m of runway. No room to try for a greaser.

[jaxxkicutie]

If you were sat on the port side of the aircraft on that flight i would have seen the house i used to live in when i was a kid which is very near to the end of the runway,just off centre...living so near to the airport is what got my interest in aviation.That was wayyyyyy back in 1970...and still continues to this day.Thanks for posting.Its good to see vids on here,and even better when they are 'local'.

[charltonsREDARMY]

Short runway, and he is comming in faster then he should be + crosswind / hard landing, good landing tbh,

[doug9driver]

@charltonsREDARMY I can't see an airspeed indicator superimposed anywhere in this video. Where do you get the idea he is too fast? He didn't baloon in the flare with excess speed, it dropped in. If the runway is 1700 meters thats about 5000 feet of usable pavement, about the same as Chicago Midway. There have been harder landings in that airport. It landed the way he intended. BTW, it was a long way from a "hard landing" anyway.

[MogaViorel]

And... crosswind too?

[1967beatlesfan]

LOL girl: AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!  boy: WAAAHHHHHHH!

[SamMaiisfield]

hate flights with kids crying and shouting all the way thru them :)

[bus2800]

@SamMaiisfield when I went with Air Malta 1 British boy was crying and shouting at the rest of 3 hour flight :(

[airplanes1000]

@SamMaiisfield same here but the worst of it is when there is babys onboard :-\

[Waveydavey1987]

yh i agree with ben123, the reason it was hard is due to the fact that the runway isnt very long. As far as i know living just at the end 20, the biggest plane that SOU can handle is the 757 which is a rare visitor and can only visit at <1/2 a fuel tank, so any 757 flights that they have done have usually had to refule elsewhere before continuing. Southampton's website has there own planned expansion on it in pdf format for those curious about the airport expansion ;) nice vid tho :)

[minitrundle]

Even Thow it was a hard touch down, the pilots got there main landing gear bang on the touch down zone!

5*

[planes1997]

hey very hard landing

what airline?

and

i remember when i saw a b737 come in when i was at a garden center wich is about a 3000 yards away from the airport!!!

it was pretty loud!!

[gevebe73]

We flew with Thompson

[planes1997]

i see!

its seems as if its coming in to fast!!! :)

[Ben123planes]

It's probably a Thomson 737 inbound from Palma, it's the only 737 Southampton sees now.

[HerbyPumpkin]

A good film of the wings. It seemed a perfectly normal landing to me, all flaps being extended correctly at the correct moment. All planes that use Southampton are short take-off/landing aircraft approved. I fly frequently from there and its a lovely experience unlike most big airports.

[Ben123planes]

My local aiport is southampton and I know why it was so hard. It was because the runway isn't very big, so the pilot wanted to put the plane down so he could have enough room to brake, Southampton airport only see's the 737 when Thomson are doing their seasonal service to and from Palma, but there are plans for a second terminal and a second runway big enough to handle fully loaded and fueled 777's

[elefriendly]

Barely room for a second runway without moving either the motorway or the Railway line. How do they propose to squeeze that in?

[Ben123planes]

I think They're going to buy the field next door to it, knock down the short stay car park and build it diagonally across 02/20 and for the secong runway they're gonna biult it along side the second runway.

[planeboy737]

I really doubt that those "Plans" will ever become reality. The London Airports i.e Gatwick,Heathrow,Luton,Stanste­d etc take all of the heavy aviation traffic. i.e 767's and 747's etc. There isn't the need for a second terminal or runway at Southampton. It's got way more capacity. But if Thomson decided to increse their flights to a 757 that would be good. They did it a few years ago. But as I said southampton cannot expand due to the motorway and the railway depot.

[Ben123planes]

well a lot of sources eg; BAA, wikipedia google earth say that the second terminal is going ahead in a couple of years time because they want more stands and a few othe soures saidthat the second runway may come into it but they're still deciding whether or not it will.

[civagiarn]

Nice video, I think thats a 737 though.

[antoinejansen]

Yup, quite hard but happens also quite regularly...

[clarinetman1664]

That was hard indeed.

thanks for uploading :)
