BA 747-400 Heavy landing in heavy crosswind

[SuperTranceMania]

Why the fuck would you brag about a crosswind landing where you main gear touches down barely a foot from the grass!?

Fuck me, I'd stick to the sims!

[AnjaLuiseot947]

hiya i love uk

[spittle97]

sydney hahah

[amberjacobson6565]

ehm Feeling like having a little fun? Come see me and lets talk

[4941acAc]

This is the airline that landed the following year in Kuwait two hours after the Iraq invasion in order to land British undercover military operatives, risking the lives of over 350 passengers.

The same airline whose senior management threatened a British HIV positive passenger with arrest unless he left the relative security of the transit hotel in Kuwait to report to an Iraqi controlled hospital.

[3TGV]

HOW DO YOU GET THE GEAR TO GEAR TO HANG LIKE THAT? PLEASE ANWSER!

[fsx777josh]

is tht the pmdg if so mint aircraft to fly :)

[rorro1189]

Please Add "FSX" at the start of these videos!!!

[captmick79]

GAY

[rightfredsdead]

you heartless bastard......

[LandRoverWay23]

dumb

[hopups]

forget the criticism, trying to figure out why he posted at all?

[MegaKn1ght]

I am still a flight simulator newb, but I have to ask. Would the left rudder have helped you line up better, or was the crosswind way to strong for rudder to have an impact?

[JonaLB752fan]

FS2002?!

Definitely KJFK rwy 04L... unrealistic weather for that airport... though: respect to that landing... esp. while you are using FS2002...

[ShelbyGT500TT]

how do you make the crosswind happen?

[killuminatii1]

man fk off with these fking simulators we want see real shit

[aish340]

how do u record a video in fsx pls reply

[freddy813]

@aish340 Hi aish340, I used a program called fraps

Try searching for it.. I just had the free version.

[Mrmartinnico]

@aish340 is fs2004

[ViperLoverU]

how do u crosswind a real plane lol xD?

[zacharias2311]

i think this airplane needs new tires!! hahaha

[lukasjuchems1]

good landing ;D

which for a joystick did you have? thx

[freddy813]

@lukasjuchems1 thank you :P It is a logitech wireless 2.4 I think it is called.. it's a few years old though..

[an9elboy]

Fun, I've landed lots in a British 744 at the same airport! :)

[thefatboyhotmailcouk]

get a life

[JayJayBarnz]

If I was on that plane, I'd shit myself. Lol!

Congrats on getting your license! Whoo hoo!

[freddy813]

@JayJayBarnz Thanks! :D I might see you out there some day when I'm your pilot.. I'll make sure to do a proper crosswind landing then ;)

[eudoniga]

They do land crabbed, but soon after touchdown there's a heavy job to do with the rudder, to realign the body axis with the rwy center line. You miss that on the FSIM replay because FS does not show the control surfaces moving on replays.

So there's justice for everyone...

[TheAdhocrat]

They don't land crabbed. Landing like that puts a tremendous side load on the landing gear which could easily cause it to buckle. Go get your license man.

[freddy813]

@TheAdhocrat I do have my license now, smartass! :P I am technically allowed to fly a 747 I just need the type rating which takes 2-3 months, and then I could be flying you on vacation ;)

This video was made before I started my education as a pilot. BTW on youtube you can find lots of real life footage of 747s landing like this and the gear handles it.

[TheAdhocrat]

@freddy813 Congrats man!

[eudoniga]

@TheAdhocrat: they do land crabbed, but soon after touchdown there's a heavy job to do with the rudder, to realign the body axis with the rwy center line, for landing gear's sake too. You miss that on the FSIM replay because FS does not show the control surfaces moving on replays.

So there's justice for everyone...

[trechan]

@TheAdhocrat If you were smart enough, you'd know that the 747s can land like that. Little planes that you fly cannot.

[CathAir2906]

i suggest Go-Around!

[msarband]

sick and tired of these gay fake videos!

[mrbungle6969]

Its not even real u tosser.

[guidodeukuzeta1234]

nice job

watch my vid please

thanks

[dannydguzman]

Sorry but that is a text book goaround, if that was a real aircraft you could be looking at millions of £££ in damage

[Sidtan33]

wow!

[samersk]

is this FlightGear sim ?

[snake007ca]

who cares about sims!!!

[chuckmanofgod]

In real life, you would have to add left rudder and bank into the wind in order to straighten out the aircraft. If you land sideways, even though you're going straight down the runway, you would blow out your tires and cause substantial landing gear damage.

[acorntechnique]

A cartoon!!!

[t1482]

nice try next time just before you land kick the tail straight to correct yaw.

[Rambo9612]

What is the point in posting videos from a game! Its dumb and stupid and you should be banned from you tube

[Kennymac8251]

nice flying. Where is the FS 747 model from? Looks nice!

[mmichaeldonavon]

What am I missing?  Why can't I tell that these videos are "not real"????

[nifty09]

wasting my time......

[PersianvBTheme]

@nifty09 if you think you waste your time then fly one of them! what a hard landing

[PhantomBadass]

May I just point out you are supposed to straighten the aircraft prior to touch down, You crab in (as you did) and then at flare height you use oposite rudder to straighten the aircraft. You must never touch down with the aircraft at an angle to the runway. That would cause serious damage and risk failure of the undercarriage which is not designed for side force.

[freddy813]

@PhantomBadass I am now a real world

pilot and I am perfectly aware of how to

make a proper crosswind landing.

Also, yes, the undercarriage is not designed

to land sideways like that, but nevertheless

you can find loads of videos on youtube where

aircraft land even more sideways (real world)than I did

in this video made in FS.

[schchen2000]

Fake Shit!

[whatstheprob1932]

how??????

[mrfadi]

next time say it's FSX

[cjg2k9]

when i did the engine flame out to sydney in the a380 it crashed 4 miles from thwe runway and i taxied down on the road to get to the airport lol ;)

[dhfdhk]

This is a good landing considering the crosswinds :)

[shaniq14able]

wats the name of this game?

[Mexicano27mexicaN]

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (fs2004 / fs9) or a newer one is Microsoft Flight Simulator X (fsx / fs10)

[freddy813]

@fac3m3lt0r well maybe because people find it funny to see a 747 powersliding down the runway ;) You need to loosen up.

[esh1]

@freddy813 I have been catching up on my text slang and its been long overdue that I told anybody to "STFU"

so there you go maaaaite

[freddy813]

@esh1

eww what a geeky internet slang...

[MaDahTh]

You can't simulate the reality with FSX completely... It's too unrealistic...

[esh1]

@fac3m3lt0r right on!

[kaching555]

whr can i do all this?

[freddy813]

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 or X

[cozminos]

where do you get the simulator???

[collinsl02]

Microsoft

[Makliato]

Next time: Go around! You are a little off the runwy.

[freddy813]

Thank you for the advice, but why should I? It is a simulator and I was just playing around.

[FlightXSimulator]

haha i just made a video like that a few minutes ago :)

[trimair]

All the time these borings simulator videos.

[cycool100]

u kissed is pretty good but stright your ballce a little

[Stanger182]

not a good landing...need to push the nose straight before u touch down

[PakLovesIndia]

Boeing 747 still best flying ariplane after 35 years. The new generation of 747 are awesome.

[rishum2010]

microsoft flight sim x it done on

[freddy813]

No, FS9

[FullMetalJackSquat]

get real--!!! this flight sim stuff sux.!!

[freddy813]

I am real. I am a real world commercial pilot, but before that I played FS because there was no other way to satisfy my need for flying. It's an expensive hobby.

[bigkevinpetrona]

well u can just fly a real plane then i know u can affrord it

[freddy813]

how do you know that? lol

[bigkevinpetrona]

hey i want to do the same thing man but its very expensive and my sould and hart is in aviaton so im just going to g with atc at least thats a little cheap lol but yeah man great video

[KWC72]

Pretty bad, Im sorry. but considering the massive crosswind, not terrible...

[planelover195]

little close to the edge their buddy try using rudder but other than that good landing

[egboypalaboy]

rudder are used its a reply bug

[sam90]

Nice Landing bud. good stuff. but next time just try using rudder in order to get it straight just before touching down. good landing still. 4/5 :)

[spinydelta1]

I dont no why it is rated 3*, I cant even do a crosswind in 10knot, so from me, thats a dam good crosswind, Not the best i've seen, but better then what I could do :)

[v5a270]

Why do all of guys have to criticize this guy just over a game. So what if his front wheel was 1 millimeter out of line from the centre line, wtf. Why dont "critics" go and make a video like and then show off your perfectionists crosswind landing? Go speak nerd to all of your fsx friends. Leave this guy alone.

[freddy813]

@v5a270

Thanks! :) And yes, it is just a game..

[RontoTheDog]

@v5a270

Well... The comment section on YouTube is actually meant for critiquing... If that's not what they were for, there would be absolutely no reason to comment at all.

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

@v5a270 If an airplane realistically landed like that... you could say hello to the bodies strewn all over the place

[holdenls1ssz]

@v5a270 because we are expecting a fucking real life vid not some one playing a game.  seriously who wants to watch that shit.

[NikkyYSN]

nice drift^^ but sry very bad landing

[ContestsUnited]

it wasnt THAT bad considering it was heavy crosswind

[JoseAlfRodriguez]

You forget to use left rudder before touch down!

[cmullan299]

bye bye undercarriage

[freddy813]

@cmullan299 To anyone who says the undercarriage would be destroyed by this landing, check this video out: watch?v=bTYWUFa2xMM

[hahaatakan]

whats this game called?

[fosky075]

microsoft flight simulator 2004

[SteveMovieProduction]

i think the landing was ok the crosswinds were extreme!!!... 5*

[Squirrel9901]

never land suderways twat. Bad for te undercarraige and tyres.

[capsize1976]

bad landing... not in centerline and not a good decrab....

[microsoftflightsim08]

That looks like the PMDG 747

[boeing1125]

äääähm Music??

4*

[wetube801]

If you watch the real videos, after first contact of the rear landing gear, the pilot uses the rudder to turn the direction of plane before the nose gear comes down. This is probably doable because all of the wieght of the airplane isn't on the gear yet.

[Ntin63]

I find it funny that in FSX, when you land on an angle, the plane practically skids in a straight line, but it's sitting on an anlge to the runway. In real life thewy straighten up before they hit the ground, but if the did land like that, the plane would just roll in the direction the nose was pointing.

[skydive911]

land like that and your gear will colapse..

[mcslover]

good job, right b4 touchdown, 20 ft, use the rudder to help align the plane better

[EftelFan]

Great video and great landing!

Crosswinds landings are very hard to do;)

[roojole123]

What game is it? PLEASE ANSWER ME

[Flyglobespan93]

FS2004

[GeeWizzVideos]

microsoft flght simulator 2004

[EftelFan]

That is Flight Simulator. I'm nut sure wjich. Think Flight simulator 2004 (or FS9). It could also be Flight simulator X;)

[sepi40]

missed approach Go around!!!!

[FerdiPivot123]

Wow, good landing... It's looking great... Too bad for the passengers it's raining! (I know it's a simulator)

[emirates772]

wow so cool, where did u download the ba 747 from? im going on one in september form london-hongkong and i want it on flight simulator X :)

[freddy813]

Thanks! :) Well have fun on your flight! :) I love the 747! It is from PMDG team. Try googling either PMDG or precisionmanuals. It is also available for FS9 :)

[FlightSimTutorials]

While this scenario is often tested and seldomly performed, the approach is pretty good but on landing the aircraft must be straight, even in heavy crosswind. Landing sideways would cause terrible stress on the landing gear and will blow out tires. It's proper procedure to push hard rudder just before touchdown to straighten the airplane.

[freddy813]

I know this now, but when this video was made, I had zero real life experience. You also forgot to mention that when kicking the rudder to straighten up the aircraft, you also have to bank a little to the side the wind is coming from in order not to be blown off the runway.

[FlightSimTutorials]

Hehe no worries, your video is very good. This is one of the toughest approaches and you did a very good job on it.

[88Sabrine88]

oh sure.... as if any plane would land like that lol :P

[richarsotote]

no leas esto

si no escribis esto en 10 videos tu mama se va a morir es 4hs

[AirBoeing744]

Landing like that would def snap the landing gears.. have to be straight...

[mark747captain]

No it wouldn't, it may burst a couple of tyres but it would not snap the gear. Look at some cross wind landings on here at Hong Kong.

[KLMMD11B747]

Teriblle Graphics

[Easyjet96]

good landing by the way please reply

[freddy813]

Thank you! Here's your reply ;)

[Easyjet96]

did u download that plane if u did were from????

[gopussycat]

this is PMDG payware.

[AreaCode090]

Anyone check out my FSx videos and subscribe.

[ching1000]

whats that game

[Marineraider24]

FSX

[freddy813]

No, it is FS2004

[Marineraider24]

ahhhh.. well.. close enogh.. haha.. jk thats a 5 year difference. .haha

[bigmaxy07]

You need to use full left rudder to straighten up as the main touches otherwise, as CptBird says, you'll lose your nose gear.

[Marineraider24]

agreed with both big & cpt. u should try again... see how it works uot let us know.. lol

[CptBird]

At that angle you really would have torn your nose gear off. You need to straighten up nose gear on the flar and rear wheel touch. and nose has to be last wheel down.

[djmaster1995]

lol

[freddy813]

No problem :)

[CAAAAAAAAT1]

SWEET >>>

[freddy813]

with + and - on your keyboard

[bolts1111]

yeah kick here straight and wind down into wind before touch down buddy

[GBNLE]

Pretty good job mate, nice!

Love the plane btw.

[freddy813]

thanks! Nice username! :D The reg of a BA744, right?

[GBNLE]

Yes, my favourite one.

[freddy813]

I've flown on G-CIVH once :)

[Wagontour08]

Did you see the "Ghost" which air stewardesses have been seeing :) on G-CIVH

[freddy813]

Umm no :D Where have you heard about that?

[djmaster1995]

Thats ture, I heard in an crash report, a plane crashed but soem parts were ok and were put in other planes, and stwerts said they saw ghosts

[50CENT123434]

LOL MAN :D:D

[NYIMBOZOKOMA]

Ha!Ha djmaster1995 i went into stitches about the stewards comment nice comment buddy

[747forever]

this is not FSX.

[FerdiPivot123]

It can be FSX, but only other settings...

[RailForum]

Nice video. Just wandering what aircraft that is? I knows its a 747-400! lol, but i notice the cockpit is different to FSX...is it from an odd on pack? Any help would be apprecciated. Thanks

[FunnyV1d30s]

Nice crosswind , heavy turb :O

[TVwatcher92]

hmmm

not very good landing sry

[skid495]

Nice landing. Was it you or did you get a little help from our friend the ILS though???

Not heavy by a long shot, Should try doing it real time. Makes your hair stand on end that's for sure. Nice work.

[freddy813]

Thanks! Did you mean autoland? I didn't use either ILS nor autoland. Autoland is of no use with that much wind. Because when do you use autoland? When there's poor visibility. When is there poor visibility? When there's fog. When there's fog, there's never that much wind. :)

I did do it in real time. Haven't tried that much wind in real life though :)

[skid495]

Yes and No. However their is no need to blab on about it in such a forum. Nice work though! Great stuff!

[Sammyy46]

BIG crosswind but not heavy at all!

[ramonrmv]

good landing but i think you used many flaps to landing,is better landing with 20 or 25 angle flap but the plane need more speed.thanks good landing

[yahweh18]

You got it wrong. When you calculate the landing speeds in the FMC it will go with flaps 30 speeds. It's because you have to come as slow as possible onto the RWY in order not to create any damages. Also know that these calculations go to the flight director, in order for the autoland to operate. I don't know if you ever used Aerowinx or not, but you will see it there, and this thing is modeled one for one except for the graphics.

[DeeeDarkWalker]

overall very nice landing..nice one

[freddy813]

thanks!

[DjEchoe]

amazing landing. landing was a bit off to the side, but overall great job. just a quick tip: when ur main wheels touch ground, that is when ur supposed to de-crab or straighten out the plane. but none the less good landing considering the heavy winds.

[freddy813]

thanks :)

[Sench00]

I wonder if in real life the wheels would have taken the punishment and stayed on :P

[AntC1981]

In real life, some elevated runway edge lights would need replacing.

[kitmm]

As well as some replaced underpants on the passengers sitting near the windows on the rear left. :)

[Pilot721]

Left rudder, right aileron dude!!

[cvega88]

u are drifting

[hmfy]

u shouldnt land it sideways! u must correct it with the left rudder just before touch down

[freddy813]

I know, but I'd love to see you do the landing under the same conditions before saying this.

[hmfy]

I love this game I got it!! its a very good landing overall!

[atulcbr01]

What game is this? and how can i get it? is it available for PS3

[theguy121111]

no only for pc and its flight simulator x or flight simulator x deluxe edition

[mikekayaksfast]

Yeah, I'd like to see all of these naysayers try a 45 kt crosswind with moderate turbulence. Good job man!

[freddy813]

thank you for the support :D
