@Aviationnation10 I know, the 767 tends to be a hard 1 to make it land smoothly! Its really common that they land like this, it just seems really rough from in the cabin!
My guess for the late reverse thurst is the fact that they had the full use of the runway as the parking is usually at the end of the terminal and the speed the aircraft landed at, although those Thomson flight come into Barbados full they're usually light on fuel. I suppose you were transported in a coach straight out the airport to the cruise ship terminal if you came into Barbados on Thomson.
@BenBrowner No, reverse thrust is used on 90% of landings, nothing to do with runway length. I see 737s landing at Heathrow and they give a bit of reverse thrust.
by the way its not first choise anymore its thomson now so even if you see planes with first choise on does not mean its the airline Thomson fly has buyed the company :)
Seemed a little heavy on the landing, probably not enough flare, speed seemed about ok.
I don't know if reverse thrust is mandatory in the carribean, but as far as I know its optional by the Pilots, and here in the UK you're only allowed whats called 'Idle Reverse' - reverse buckets open but idle thrust. Its just used to shorten rollout distance, so if theres enough runway you may not need it.
@tannagra your allowed more than idle reverse if you want its only at some times ie late at night when there may be a restriction to idle reverse due to noise unless of course there is an emergency. More then idle reverse is used sometimes to limit the heat caused by the breaks and such decrease your turnaround time.
im going with thomson, i hope i dont get put on a first choice aircraft like alot of people said they did in the reviews. i heard that they are in great need of a refurb and the leg room is poor, is that true
@trollydodger No, I must say having been on both Thomson and First Choice aircraft's, the legroom on both is very good! If any thing the First Choice is nicer inside, it has leather seats in economy. There not a bad airline, just need to improve on their landings sometimes! LOL
@rachaelmatt ok, thank you. did you go early to the airport because im just wondering, is it hard to get a seat at the sides and not in the middle because i do NOT want to sit in the middle row seats lol. thanks for the cool video anyway, those landings are just as fun as feeling the pressure in the flare on smoother landings haha :D
@trollydodger Erm, we did to go out get there early I meen, cuz it was a 9am take off we stayed in a hotel at Gatwick the night b4, so checked in the evening b4. But on the way home, our transfere was late, and we were last to check in, and they double booked our seats and we had no window. Thats why there isn't a video for the return flight.
@devilishandsweet Its bad because this is a pilot who has paid thousands of pounds to train and become a pilot, must have spent years flying that type of aircraft and in perfect weather conditions thats the best he can do!!! Thats why its bad!
I had a landing like that with first choice in an A-321 so hard the overhead lockers came open and peoples bags went flying everywhere! infact the whole flight was poor
I think airplanes are beautiful although i wet myself nearly (not happy) i wanna scream when i get on the plane thought xD. I went Ibiza last year and 2 months after i went I went again xD
The flight was a special cruise flight for people going on Ocean Village, 90% of people on the flight were going straight to the ship when they landed, but we were'nt on the cruise, we were staying for 2 weeks in Barbados
aight i live in Barbados and in all my years of arriving here i have never seen such a poor landing.....he must've been the reason the runway was resurfaced.
Its a great place is'nt it!!! I loved it 2. I went 2 years on in a row. Last January and the January b4 that. But not this year cuz i have exams. But im going to the maldives in april, so i will get some videos out of the plane, on those flights.
@frasercarle because the flight was a special cruise flight. Most people were going straight to the ship. It was just about what they were doing. But we were'nt going on a cruise so it didnt matter for us.
Wow! That was one immense bump on landing! Looks like he was coming in too fast and a bit too deep. You can hear someone say 'BLOODY HELL' in the background!! hahahhahaha! Great vid m8!!
Yes i did, but i like the first choice livery, so until they all have new paint job i'll call em first choice. Also it says in the description. BTW thomson has'nt got a P in it. LOL :)
Yee, I keep forgetting! I got loads of Pictures of Exeter from Last year with First Choice, Futura (R.I.P.) and Flybe jets. I gotta upload them sometime!
Yeah that's pretty rough. But a 767 can be a bitch with some annoying winds/shear. And judging on the aileron/spoileron movement there was enough to play with.
I notice how the flaps were going up and down a lot on ur decent? That probably contibuted to your bad landing! Definately a bad bump there, I'd say it was absolutely to do with the wing flaps!
what do you mean like the flap bits that come up just after touch down? If you ment them then yes they shud always come up on every plane, there called speed brakes btw, and they are just supposed to slow the plane down
They are not speed brakes and they don't slow the plane down they are called "spoilers" and they spoil the air flow over the wing, this decreasing lift and putting more weight on the wheels thus aiding in braking.
every pilot i know i calls them speed brakes, also ive got so many videos taken from in the flight deck whilst landing and they all say "speed brakes armed" just before landing
thanks i didnt know that. I have a dvd taken in the flight deck on a virgin jumbo and they said speed brakes so thats y i just thought speed brakes, i also have a video of an easyjet landing at gatwick from on it
cheers glad you like the video, in a few days i will be putting on 2 more out of the window on here, take off from inverness and landing at gatwick, then nxt week to and from dublin and im gunna video out the window on all them flights LOL :)
duno what the important annoucment was, because they annoyed us because we wernt goin on a cruise but they assumed we were and told us to stay seated so we just stood up and walked off cuz we didnt need to know bout a cruise cuz we wernt on 1. Stupid first choice
maybe but i dont think so, because we wasnt wobbling at all before touch down and it wasnt windy when we had disembarked the aircraft, but its possible, barbados is to nice a place to have bad weather on landing, only joking lol :)
yeah i suppose and i just landed the Level D 767 at Barbados 10 mins ago .I took off Miami International and landed at barbados at dusk>it was First Choice and it was very succesful and soft.(Flight simulator)
Wow it landed so hard!!!
