  • Its about the length of the runway. I've seen enough landings without thrust reversers. Like the fokker 70's dont use thrust reversers that often when they land at the polderbaan. It could ofcourse happen that they use the thrust reversers, but that depends on the weight and length of the runway. A runway like de polderbaan at Schiphol airport is long enough for small aircrafts wich are not so heavy to land without extra help from the thrust reversers. But it is a absolutely a nice video.

  • Maybe it's a Touch and Go

    

  • niiice landinding!

    

  • oh come on, pilots calculate the runway distance needed with autobrakes set on, there is no need for the reverser, on the other hand the video beautifully shows how smooth the smaller bobbies (737/3/4/5) are :)

  • looks like a toy plane XD

  • It's not a full stop but a touch and go!

  • the spoilers extend only if there's a minimum load on the gear which wasn't at the first touchdown (with only 1 wheel).

  • test landings? maybe that was a touch and go, but the spoilers shouldn't deploy at all in that case...

  • Is it me or was that an overspeeded approach ?

  • @3333528 i guess just point a speed radar detector at your screen then. .

  • @jaronee Nah , it just looked kinda fast for a landing , but well executed quite well actually ! :o)

  • It must have been an empty aircraft with just staff members (Not alot of weight) returning to the City where Lufthansa's main headquarters is to do maintenance on the Aircraft, It happens with Air Canada quite often. It is nothing out of the ordinary.

  • I sit in a plane who did the same, and after landing i asked the captain why he didn't use spoilers and thrust reversers, he said that the parking position is at the end from runway and he wanted to go of at the end from runway, to get faster to parking position! ;)

  • Question: how can you tell that they didn't use reversers?

    Better question: what are reversers? (LOL) What am I meant to be looking for?

    (Yeah, I know squat about planes.)

  • @EnigmaDrath reverses are things on the engines that retract backwards vectoring the engine flow backwards. It helps to slow the plane down dramatically. In this case he did not use them most probably because of length of the runway and the speed he was travelling

  • I think thats the polderbaan in Amsterdam. Most of the small planes dont use the reverser, because the runway is about 3,8 km long and there are only at the end taxiways. You can see there very often, that the pilots keep the nose gear for a "long time" in the air.

  • Comment removed

  • That's normally a crosswind landing. . . from that Lufthansa Boeing 737-530. . . Let's talk about that my friend!

  • finally someone lets it roll for a while!

  • what was so intresting about that?

  • @labbern No reversers just spead brakes! ;]

  • Strange! Really strange!

  • wow ;O

  • Left reverser might be INOP, so its being locked. Its totally legal

  • Crosswind.

  • Maybe they just knew it will be enough

  • This could be a checkride. Afterall, the spoilers were deployed only to ensure that the aircraft is maintaining good ground contact after touchdown.

  • spoilers extend normally. The fact that he didn`t use thrust reversers is not something abnormal at all. One of them might have been out of service and the pilot chose not to use the other one. It also depends on how long the rwy is and where the pilot wishes to vacate it. The most common thing to do in twins is to use the ones available regardless of rwy length and exit point but you never know.

  • @flchange Probably had a good headwind, too.

  • @flchange they would not fly if one was "out of service"!

  • @Aviationnation10 that would depend on airline/company policy. The 737 MEL does allow for one thrust reverser inop. In fact thrust reversers are not required during certification of the airplane, they contribute a great deal to keep the brakes cool, as long as they are used properly tho. Thrust reversers must normally be operative when there are factors that reduce landing performance, such as, wet rwys, tail winds, high hot airports, anti skid inop, etc. Not familiar with Lufthansa's 737 policy

  • @flchange theres no an airline out there that would risk taking off without one working if they had to make an emergency landing somewhere on a very short runway they need everything to slow it down

  • @Aviationnation10 you´re wrong. As long as it's approved by the MEL, they won't ground an airplane for a thrust reverser inop. They will only specify the conditions under which that particular airplane can be operated. Regards.

  • @flchange Ok

  • what makes it interesting ?

  • Yeah and the reversers weren't engaged...

  • what so funny with this landing, 

  • I hope they had a long runway.

  • hab ich jedes mal in leipzig. dort muss der letzte taxiway genommen werden, weil die brücke über die autobahn am ende der rwy ist... da wird meist ohne reverser und autobrakes auf low oder ganz ohne, oft nur mit spdbrk, wenn überhaupt gelandet, um am ende nicht noch gas geben zu müssen...

  • kràss_sÛcht_mÀl_nÁch:_geldeasy­_aúf_gÒÓglE

  • @ 19 seconds you can see the engine case start to come open and then close. My instructor always said "No crime in using all the runway"

  • i can land the 747 in meigss field chicago!!

  • they dont use the reversers to save fuel on long runways

  • a que velocidad va este avion al mometo de aterrizar ?

  • this was a bump

  • It could simply be that the turn off he wanted was far down the runway ive seen it before

  • No reversers !

  • Good firm landing!

  • might have been practicing loss of thrust reverser? i landed a few times without T.R. but ur right ive NEVER seen the spoilers go out so quickly...

  • headwinds

  • what made it not normal?

  • sometimes when planes are not to full and there approach speeds are low they dont use reverse because there is no point,the pilot would engage then disengage it emediately so when they are light they use speed brakes and braking. no reverse

    hope thats cleared it up :)

  • Whats so strange here? It happends some time at the so called 'Polderbaan' (18R/36L) because its a long runway.

  • what runway?

  • nothing interesting or strange in here.

  • The decision not to use reverse is nothing strange or unusual. As they landed on 18R, they will have to vacate the runway at the end, so why waste fuel (reverse) and brakes? Running down the tyres is cheaper!

    Nice video!

  • Hamburg?

  • I've been on that plane before in hamburg

  • I would prefer the reverser to avoid senseless waste of brake-brackets...

    They also cost a little;)

  • aircraft light enough and runway length sufficient enough for no reverse, simple as that.. or maybe they were wanting to exit the runway via a taxiway at the end of the runway so rather than slowing down early why not roll a little more quickly to the end and save time

  • yes... i once sat in an A 320 landing in stansted for this reason... made me a bit nervous^^

  • @SJB173

    yes i once sat in an A320 landing in stansted without any spoilers and reverse throttle for this reason... made me a bit nervous thoug^^

  • @zXxNiklasxXz That is not accurate. All aircraft land with spoiler. Thay may decide not to use reversers, but unless there is a malfunction, spoiler are always armed on approach and they deploy on touch down automatically.

  • can i have my 25sec back?

  • Definitely touch n go

  • This plane is a 737-600 it's short n well you don't really need reversers.. The 400 is longer then the 600

  • i know what part was strang .That the thrust reverser was not deployed

  • i know what part was strang that the thrust reverser was not deployed

  • I thing it was a TOUCH and GO

  • how this things were namend?

    hmmmm

    ahh i know ...brakes

    u mean cakes

    no im mean..... *wall* BUUUUMMMMMM

  • no reverse thrust or spoilers.. nice

  • Usually when they don't use reversers the runways pretty long and they most likely are trying to use a taxi-way closer to the gate, therefore keeping the taxi time down. Atleast in the United States they do this so the taxi doesn't take so long.

  • Maybe they just forgot!

  • @0Meaty Then you're a veeery baaad pilot, if you forget sth

  • Tres bel atterissage!!!

  • boeing make such pretty aircrafts !

  • I know why!!! that airport has got a very long runway.!!!

  • It was probably a returning flight from where it dropped all of the passengers and cargo off, then it landed empty with no added weight so there was no need for thrust reversers and the pilots just used brakes with anti-skid

  • what airport/?

  • maybe it was a t/g?

  • Nothing special about this landing, just a normal landing, low wing method given the cross-wind. Thrust reversers are not needed by spec, they are just an aid, not a requirement (runway length is calculated without taking into account the use of thrust reversers) - and nowadays airlines prefer not to use them to save on fuel.

  • Hat die maschiene keinen rücschub . ;D

  • reverse trust????

  • maybe they had to use the last exit so they didn't want to brake until that... maybe there was another aircraft on final just behind it...

  • 0737-500

  • hmmmmm, the plane landed, very intresting. lol only joking mate, does seem odd though ;-)

  • You don't always need to use thrust reverse

  • Reversers are generally used if the runway length is under a certain length, if it is long enough for the plane to brake happily with spoilers and gear brake then they are spending mroe money by using unneeded thrusters

  • @AlfrescoProductions This is wrong. Reverse Thrusters are generally used in all landings to help the aircraft vacate the runway asap. This is mainly to reduce runway occupation, but also to reduce taxi time on the ground.

    Sometimes, when the gate is closer to the end of the runway than to an earlier exit, it is smarter if the pilot uses the entire runway for braking. In those cases, RTs and Speedbrakes are not needed. This is such a case. The Spoilers were just activated shortly to cut lift.

  • @naisi ohh sorry, thats only what i have been told

  • Why it is interesting?

  • Pretty sure on the 73 you can't disarm the auto-spoilers. 18R is 12,467ft (3800m) long. The best place to exit would be V3 or V2 since it is a long taxi. There is really no need to slow down quickly and add wear to the engines/brakes. When he touches down he doesn't use reverse thrust and he retracts the spoilers after they go up. (Though the 1st. point of the spoilers is the prevent lift from the wings and 2nd. braking.) He obviously wasn't in a hurry to brake, since the exit is faraway.

  • @AirDude1213 It would be stupid to try and get off 18R ASAP, since you'd have to spend more time taxing along the runway. Therefore minimal/no braking, avoiding wear, and taxing faster is the most efficient, cheapest, and smartest thing to do.

  • this would be a great vid if it wasn't sped up.

  • That German pilot must have wanted to go to the toilet badly

  • It's because they deploy poilers only when all main gear ar on the ground (unless in emergency!) but that combined with the angle you are filming from makes it look like the spoilers came up late.

  • Comment removed

  • tey call it vip landing..

  • what airport is this? how long is the runway? i guess with long enough runway with a samll plane like that you can keep going and just relay on the wheel breaks..

  • ...nothing wrong with landing like this;no thrust reverse and no spoilers,especially for airbus A320...as long as the flaps are extended in the angle of 27*-42* and the max weight of landing match with ILS,everything is OK......plus don't forget the pilot's experience(some experienced pilots are able to land very smoothly and very slow)

  • It is common these days not to use reversers if it's not necessary. Using them puts alot of stress on to the engines.

  • i flew a US Airways A320 and they didnt apply reverse thrust,

  • they spoilers were late because both main gear were not on the ground. thrust reversers - if its a long enough runway/your turnoff is at the end brakes & spoilers are fine, and it saves engine wear & fuel costs.

  • hehehe

    little crosswind going on there!

  • @jasong19711

    Right, it looked like a very nice "one wing low" maneuver. I thought it was a nice landing!!

  • sometimes its used for the passengers.. less noise

  • It's probably his first time as a Captain I presume. Sometimes those who have just graduated from co-pilot forgets. I don't know I'm just guessing.

  • The pilot was testing the plane, because this was a testflight ! In Germany all new Machines must be tested that everything is okay with the brand new pane, before it can transport pasengers!

  • why did the pilot turn on its thrusters?

  • Maybe, that the pilot was trying out something very special! HEHE..

  • Maybe, the pilot was trying out something very special"

  • it looks like my landings on flight simulator xD

  • @mover01

    on a shorter rwy you should really use thrust reversers... try flying Sao Paulo Congonas or Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont... (SP has 1.600m and RJ has 1450m rwy very difficult to land... without thrust reversers impossible...)

    regards

    Jona L.

    P.S. B737/A320 is the biggest a/c able to t/o or land there, so don't try with B747 please :D

  • the vedio is not funny u load just for joking.

  • @2234lover you spelled "video" wrong

  • and what is so interesting?

  • Crosswinds were pushing it sideways... but it was hard to see, because of the camera's angle.

  • wow there were sparks

  • no sparks lights of the plane

  • that happens of course only at airports with less traffic and long rwy´s like in cgn! northerly landing, terminal at the end of rwy 32r, no traffic behind and so on... so don´t try to come to an answere by yourself...just ask!

  • @maxm12 dun nid ti be bias

  • @MysteryDark123 what language is that???

  • @maxm12 i said dont need to be bias

  • hi friends! i can help you out! flying b737 more then 6 years w. lh, i can asure you, this is a safe conduct! asume a ldg on a 4km rwy! actual landing distance 800m, planed turn of after 3km...what would happens if you leave the spoilers out and only idle reverser ? you would never reach the end. you even have to set power again to leave the rwy in time without blocking inbound traffic!

  • could be a touch - and - go for practice (without passengers), couldn't it?

  • No, because SPL doesn't allow touch and go training on 18R. Besides, I took the video and saw them taking the last exit.

  • 80 knots is not a place where I would retract manually. Much too busy at that point. Spoilers are free braking. I finally saw it, except did they fully retract? Only the tips were visible and the video ended Were the throttles moved fwd for a problem? would do it. Is runway long and the last turnoff planned? would do it. Was there a mech. problem? would do it. They were deployed with the auto-speedbrake function as evidenced by rapid deployment when the 2nd main gear touched down

  • They went fully down. And advancing throttle wasn't audiable, but that may have happened. I don't know.

  • A quick way to stow the spoilers is to move the throttle quickly forward and back so the engine does not have time to spool up. and cannot be done in reverse. 80 knots with a couple of thousand feet to go may be desirable TO SOME PILOTS. It makes for a prettier airplane and paxs don't look inside a wing from the cabin I would wait a little longer

  • Comment removed

  • lol you anorak lol im a 737 pilot for 23 years saka stop trying to look smart its not working lol

  • OR it's a full right aileron due to gusts and thats the reason. can't see, if the right spoilers also retract... but I don't know the 737 that well... don't know if it's possible during the touch down logic...

  • love luftansa

  • It's a typical crosswind landing, ask anyone who flies. the wings are tipped into the wind slightly with corrections made with the rudder to line up with the run way. The wheel on the side where the crosswinds coming from touches first, followed by the other main gear, then nose. Standard crosswind practice really

  • Thats not the point, point being the spoilers being retracted awfully quick.

  • They did not retact, they extended to kill the lift so the a/c settles on it's wheels to make the brakes effective. you guys just make stuff up? Get a job with the media, and please don't vote

  • Your the one making the stuff up. They only extended them for a very short period of time. Look the 0:16 second mark, they retract them there while still going 80+ knots.

  • @whatthephuque Yeah he's right, they extend for like a second, then go away, making brakes less effective.

  • I was looking for the interesting bit.. couldn't see it

  • @Ellscore Cos the plane lands one wheel at a time im guessing? :/

  • ever heared of autobrakes?

    They don't use reverse for noise reduction

  • @micheltie autobrakes are weak as fuck, but they might be able to slow a small jet like a 737 down.

  • touch and go training ????

    where you filmed it??

    they do it often at leipzig/halle airport !

  • maybe go around, but the video is just not showing it ;) ?

  • Maybe there was a hot German girl at the other end of the runway so he came in hard.

  • Comment removed

  • it's an a319 isn't it?

  • No, 737-300

  • what a question didnt you look at the title ?

  • noooooooooooooooooooooooop

  • Seeing as it sort of lands on one wheel first and is a bit wobbly and windy maybe he decided to put those flaps back down after the front wheel came down to lower the wind resistance and make the ride smoother?

    Maybe they went up again later?

  • very good pilot!

  • i wonder why the pilot did what he did?

    Becuse he was still very fast when he was rolling down the runwany. Dose anybody know the distance of the runway as this particular airport?

  • Its 4000 mtrs. So he had space. But never ever have I seen a plane retract her spoilers so quick.

  • wow! I am a pilot my self in traning for an ATPL and for a pilot to retract there spoliers that fast needs to seriously get a checkride.

  • IF you want to say it was a interesting landing, maybe you should explain why..cause from my point of wiew...i just saw a plan land..and then no more...am i wrong about this..please tell me!

  • I have explained it a gazillion times. Try reading the discription aswell. :)

  • I am not pilot and expert, but the last thing we can see on this video that plane continuing moving on runaway,_ for me it's look like that this is just touch and go practice for pilots, may be I am wrong

  • They did not go around. Schiphol doesn't allow touch and go training.

  • @amarpilot thank u for explanation i was thinking that it some kind of small airport without too much traffic,( i didn't read all tags,) to be honest it look like, thank u

  • Very good video!!! I find it interesting as well....never sen that before either.

    5/5 and Subbed.

  • Looks like this footage has been sped up to me.

  • Skills on the pilot!

  • Dat is voor het geluids overlast dacht ik.

  • long landing=saves alot of fuel and also diffrent pilots have diferent techniques of landings

  • how about the spoilers?

    i guess spoliers dont cost any fuel ,right?

  • yes but if there s a considerable amountof runway left and the pilot knows he can slow down in time it saves and problems like damaging th spoliers

  • the runway is long enough fo the plane to stop with out thrust reversers, thus, saving fuel

  • I can't any interesting part in this video?? :S It is a normal landing, spoilers extracted late cos pilot couldn't landed on two wheels first, so the plane couldn't get enough wheel pressure on them, as pilot put the two wheels and aircraft sits on the runway then automaticly spoilers opened.

  • Spoilers didn't deploy late, They retracted very fast. Normally, on 99% of the landings here they retract them on the taxiway. Its rare to see them retracted at 100 + knots.

  • it is 737, tiny aircraft u won't need reverse or spoilers to stop it :) when plane sat on the runway then pilot closed them :)

  • Yes, but read what I say, the other 99% do use both, so it makes it different, and therefore interesting. Its just normal procedure to keep them up until vacating the runway. Even when you are small or whatever.

  • Often you do close them when you deactivate your reversers...which should be around 60knots. In this case without reversers they are just used to destroy the remaining lift and prevent the plane from becoming airborne again after touchdown (which is their primary function). The additional drag created (and therefore additional deceleration) is more of a bonus. Nice to have but not really necessary on long runways under nominal conditions.

  • if this is the polderbaan runway at schipol the planes can only vacate the runway at the very bottom and there is no point in breaking quickly because he has loads of runway to roll out on. ;)

  • he also might just requested a long rollout

  • I agree with b3rettaZ26. Using reverse thrusters uses more fuel. Plus, if this is your first time seeing a plane land with no thrust reverser, I'm very surprized because this isn't so intresting and this isn't the only airplane that doesn't use thrust reversers. It's only used seldom these days, well of course when you're running out of road to stop. Otherwise, they save it.

  • u guys!

  • Long runway=save fuel

  • exactly, long runway = no reverse needs only braking, less money needed to operate flight

  • What is so special ,,interesting" on this landing?
