Delta 737 landing at LGA with strong crosswind

[razorfoundation]

I'd hardly call this a perfect landing or a perfect approach.

[jetairways773]

That pilot has skill...

[jetairways773]

great landing by the pilot.

[StealthCessnaCombats]

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!

[joeking55555]

well last year our pilot completely missed the runway going through low cloud and we touched down and had to go back up again on full thrust, not a word was said from the staff untill the plane had made it back up. It was terrifying. They said that there was another aircraft on the runway, but we saw nothing of this. Later we were told the pilot was training.

[Iamfukenripped]

This is really good.. pilots did an awesome job there... but that 737 looked like it took a bit of a hammering on the gear.... must be tough things :D...

[danionow]

Nice vid, from what place did you shoot it, nice place to look at planes from there. Thanks in advance

[supernaturalguy2009]

pilot on touchdown: BOO YAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHA

[roju0229]

wow imagine the can of rough ride the passengers had in there lol.i would of been scared as fuck :O!

[pianomanmaestro]

thats a great pilot there! 

[SAMCAMJAIK1]

They said planes are SIX times safer than cars, TWO times safer than bus and THREE times safer than train.

[NIGHTWHMAN]

By the way this sounds, is this an Older 737???

[DimSum9685]

@NIGHTWHMAN  Yep.. sure is.. Havent seen this livery of delta in a while.

[NIGHTWHMAN]

@DimSum9685 True, listen to the engines

[brownbrownson]

@NIGHTWHMAN yup. the -300 uses the CFM56-3B24 (i think that's the one)

[RobertGary1]

Nice crab but could have used more kick.

[jofus2019]

That was a superb landing! I bet it was rough from inside the cabin.

[xXfutureflyaXx]

damn.....this is why pilots should get paid wayyyy more than they do. and love the oldschool delta livery. go delta!!!

[Gonzalex200]

Yeahhhhh!

[speters987]

Just a day at the office for the PF.

[Nowak98765]

thats sexiii

[aresgodofwar10]

lol i wouldve of been "were gonna crash!!!!" and freaked out the other passengers lol.

[eroedo87]

Crazy.............!

[evilsmiley123]

wut runway

[arnoldy09]

i like airplanes........

[allibowthepilot]

@arnoldy09 me too

[fordsuckbigtime]

rme too there fun to watch take off with them roaring engine and and i like the landing too

[johnayerger13]

damn fine flying mr.!

[Mafk345]

perfect

[yfh10mg]

Nice landing!

[StrinGnich3]

this is a great example of why real human pilots are still needed....I'll show this to anyone who still tells me commercial airliners can just as easily be landed on autopilot....and I hear that a lot.

that's why their salary is tenfold better than say, a bus driver's. not that there's anything wrong with that profession, but if autopilot were in control of the planes' most critical maneuvers (landing etc.), then they'd be no more than bus drivers with a view.

man over machine, thank you.

[sportskid11]

on a normal approach even a standard visual the pilot is almost always requiered by airline SOP to stay on the ILS with autopilot if the runway has it untill around DH if not CAT3/2 Autoland. This case is a charted visual which they had autopilot for ILS 4 untill DIALS (OM) then made a turn to the east with autopilot as they descended to follow the LIE. the turn it off to make the base and final turn. But yes, man over machine.

[cjracer1000]

what does sop and dials(om) mean and LIE

[sportskid11]

SOP means standard operating Procedures. And DIALS in an Outer Marker for the ILS 4 > cjracer1000

[cjracer1000]

thanks you

and waht does LIE mean

[orbits2]

@cjracer1000 Long Island Expresway

[TheREALHIPNOTIC]

long island expressway...lmao!

[dsaidenb]

man over machine yes, but soon machine will be able to excute xwind landing > human.

[StrinGnich3]

actually I retract my original statement. our birds (namely the latter-model 737, 777, 787, A380, etc) are very well capable of T/O, vectoring, and landing entirely remotely.

but....who'd get on a plane that's pilotless? marketing is always the deciding factor, regardless of technology. just an...empty, but true point.

of course machine has WAY surpassed men....but, that's their dirty secret.

[zion3179]

i think the pilots were just havin some fun there haha, awesome.

[TRIWUZHERE]

@StrinGnich3 unfortunately their salary is not much higher than a bus driver

[roju0229]

@StrinGnich3 yes i agree with you too.they shoudnt replace the pilot with a stupid machine.its better if someone is at control cuz we ovouisily know that the human brain is smarter than some kind of machine.if that plane was controled by a automatic machine,those people would of problay died on that landing :/.

[1234av8tor]

@StrinGnich3 dam straight

[LGAACE12]

Ahh yes the infamous expressway visual. I have been to the spot where this video was filmed, and I have taken several photos of the RWY 31 approaches coming in over Shea Stadium (home of the NY Mets). This a/c landed on 31, the converse being 13. This is an exciting approach although I'd prefer to land RWY 4 directly over the Grand Central PKWY or it's converse RWY 22 in which the last thing you'd see before tarmac is Riker's Island...an island most New Yorkers don't wish to reside on ;)

[continental757]

looks to me in order to save the approach the delta pilot decided to s turn you can see the previous departure climbing at the end of the runway

[ech4848]

Nice landing indeed, but that's a pretty common approach pattern. Any trained commercial pilot should be able to handle that.

[727Hushkits]

Very skilled indeed but i bet i could do better in my trusty 727-2TV

[dawonda]

loud and ineffecient, but fun to fly hahaha :D

[1VOLCOMSTONE]

really skilled pilot...

[Tonhaomasters]

WOW! I have never seen a landing like this one before! REALLY AMAZING!!! XD

[cjracer1000]

that was amazing

[sg0238]

This is where the pilots really earn their money.

[distar97]

Prior comment suggesting this was a S-turn landing is very correct. I learned to fly at LGA when single engine prop trainers were allowed. Even I did S-turns to keep from running into departing jets. ATC keeps spacing too tight sometimes.

[kenneth1601]

man that was fast when ur on a plane when ur landing it takes a long ass time too land but that was quit nice video

[pianoman3635]

Not bad at all :D

[ellzyss]

perfect technique, wheels into wind down first and straighten up on touchdown.. did seem a bit fast and hard though?? I can't talk im not a pilot yet!

[cjracer1000]

ya lol just look at my vids i cant talk either LOL

[aviatorcyprus]

nice

[747fanatic]

thought he wasnt gonna make it

[pjc858]

side loaded it a bit, but god damn impressive: pay that man double for that!

[paulcarvell1967]

Actually landing in La Guardia Airport but good anyway

[paulcarvell1967]

Actually landing at La Guardia Airport but very good anyway

[Imagineer0988]

i want him to be flying my plane!

[Rufio181]

Thats amazing.  Its pretty obvious the pilot was a Navy/Air Force ace.

[hughe387]

Thats actually LGA not JFK

[jbo777]

EXCELLENT FOOTAGE!

[picklesxguitar]

that pilot is good. and the passengers must have been applauding

[ACMilan33]

Almost thought he wasn't gonna make it there. That's not in the approach plate for sure.

[lizzieqr]

WOW!!!!

[skysurfer0805]

this was a S turn on final to manage required spacing to pre-departing aircraft which is to be seen in the vid too. nice

[lilfatrb]

that pilot is awesome....A navy pilot maybe??

[fmjsk8er]

@lilfatrb

chuck norris

[golem72002]

damn good paolit there.
