Gulfstream G-IV Landing -- Santa Monica, California [HD]

[mirma2006]

Great camera work, great landing, great video. Very pro.

[Aviationsim4862]

Perfect example of how wonderful it is to plane spot. There is people out there who want to get rid of the hobby altogether, but all we are doing is making videos of the art of flying, and posting them online. It has nothing to do with what celebrity is on the plane, but the plane itself.

thats what im getting for my first b day

[CoralPumps]

I AGREE.

[gabrielberns]

a beautiful jet, and a perfect landing!nice

[gordonjj]

I want to pilot one of these. :-)

[frozenrocketguy]

I'm not a pilot so I'm wondering, are you supposed to activate the clam shells before the front wheel is down?

[cessnacitationx1]

@frozenrocketguy not always

[Tjita1]

@frozenrocketguy Different aircraft have different procedures, but I would imagine that you're most often not supposed to activate the reversers until you have all wheels on the ground. The spoilers usually activate automatically when the main wheels touch down, though.

[crizzzzz1]

What kind of camera did you shoot this with? Auto settings or manual? The video quality is great and it's not jumpy at all. Nice Vid

[matthiashaenni]

WOW GREAT clip!

[bamaslamma1003]

Beautiful airplane.

[drumdude46]

to everyone below, bickering about TR's, and their operation:

one thing to know everybody, and here it is: ready? Thrust Reverser's on

Generally ALL Jet's, whether they be Corp. type or Biz, all the way up to large Transport Part 121 type, employ something called a "Squat Switch" which is a Sensor mounted on the landing gear. this "Squat Switch is tied to More systems on an aircraft, than you can shake a stick at, but here, Prohibits TR Actuation until the AC is on the gound.

Exelente video y mejor el mantequillaso de perfecto aterrizaje, felicidades.

It seems like G550 got much better glider than GLEX.

[gsxrmatt]

Ah, I see. raceface must be type- rated in a GIV or G550............Sorry, what was I thinking.....

[racefacexc]

"The reversers come out when the pilot puts them out and nothing else."

Wrong - the reverser's deploy when the pilot has selected the reverser position with the power lever AND when the squat switch, or weight on wheels switch, is closed. otherwise it would allow reverser's to be deployed in flight.

Next time your going to be a dick about correcting someone, make sure you know what you are talking about, gsxrmatt.

[gsxrmatt]

"The reversers "pop" on main gear spin-up"

Wrong........ The reversers do not "pop" on main gear spin-up. The reversers come out when the pilot puts them out and nothing else. You might be thinking about the "speed brakes", in which case, yes, as soon as there is weight on wheels, they will pop up.

[topgunnaxa]

perfect landing

[topgunnaxa]

what kind of camera is that?

[ca1mello]

Just beautiful. Exclt video quality

[Jrink30]

that is the best quality youtube video i have ever seen

[Orbit2020]

I noticed the reversers opened before the nose wheel hit the ground - is that common?

[ariel340]

Yes, a big part of planes deploy reverse while the nose wheel still up. It depends on how soon the pilot activate the reversers.

[TyphoonSantaMonica]

The reversers "pop" on main gear spin-up :)

[kennethcolesiny]

Excellent, great photography

[arthurivanmunhozvaz]

Definitely a wonderful video.

[wazzu90FIJI]

This Gulfstream suffers from shaky tail syndrome.

[n787mx]

@777Juanjo Actually your wrong. When the reverse thrust engages it pushed the air normally emitted straight back into an upward fashion. Since the aircraft is moving, the thrust therefore hits the H-stab causing it to move like it does in the video. Also when you say that the 7x7 planes shake because of the movement of the plane during landing your wrong as well. If you have ever watched any of the takeoff videos from EGCC on here you will notice that it occurs with full throttle.

[777Juanjo]

@n787mx Hi !

Absolutely you have the reason !!! That´s it !! Thanks for clarify it !!

[RTD172]

excelente video...5 estrellas.

[athena1976]

Very cool video, who's riding on the plane?

[hopper1]

Great landing! I find it ironic that you could see the "fly quietly" sign at the beginning :)

[captmark747]

nice

[cholubaz]

Smoooooooooooooth :-) 5*

[Fabian566]
