Nicely Done! Ryanair pilots show their quality

[ThePfeffi80]

seems like the passengers have paid the "smooth-landing-fee"

[isellmarijuana]

@ThePfeffi80 along with the we have bags tax and if you want a seat you gotta pay more tax. hahaha ripping bastards

[kmdroell]

3 Euro for nice landing 

[batmanh20]

Ryanair sell porn now

[CaptainGarethPayne]

reading all these amazing comments is well, as some of the other genuine pilots have put it we work for our customers and their safety. Flight simulators are nothing like a real aircraft and are not flying millions of pounds or dollars of equipment. Be realistic in your postings. If you dont know it. DONT SAY IT

[lando53]

@CaptainGarethPayne piss off

[syzyboy]

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IS FUNNY...ALL YOU SILLY LITTLE PEOPLE PLAYING FLIGHT SIMULATORS AND THEN WANT TO ACT ALL CRITICAL OF REAL PILOTS. HAVE YOU EVER FLOWN A REAL AIRCRAFT? LET ALONE HOLD THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MANY LIVES?? THEN SHUT UP.

[tw0str0kee]

Landing into 43 knot's would be a dream, it's the crosswind that gets you.

[MrThreeLions]

"show their quality", he landed the plane! isn't that what they supposed to do?

[markyboy28able99]

fucking irish

[Easyjet96]

Highly doubt a 43 knot wind...



[TheLifeEvents]

He probably had no choice to do it manually, with no aids. Ryan Air will have not had the computer installed on purchase of the aircraft, to save money!

[4zimm]

PR video

[ponne951]

Why wouldnt the pilots do a good job? Just becuase they are hired by Ryan air doesnt mean they cant fly. Just becuase the company has got some weird rules when it comes to the passengers doesnt mean the pilots cant land a 737 in heavy winds ;)

Nice landing to say atleast, quite some wingflex on final!

[damroc41]

what is involved in being a pilot? im really interested in them and would love to find out more

[gfruy]

@damroc41 Diligence, Passion, Perseverance, Honor to name a few... I have immense respect for Aviator's and hope to join that elite club and be a man of the skies some day..

[joshdu25]

Ryanair pilots are not allowed to go-around. Costs too much ! =D

[wolfteamfe]

I LOVE THIS LANDING !!! 

[FSXfan007]

must be a wet lease with a KLM pilot flying

[TURB0Jam]

@FSXfan007 Doubt it. Wouldn't be able to hack the workload.

[damroc41]

i wont to study to be a pilot when i finish school...should i or should i not ????

[Scrapari]

@damroc41 Yes you should, pilots make a lot of cash and it's a real easy job because the planes practically fly themselves, except for the landing. But the education for it takes a lot of time and practicing

[pocky54321]

@Scrapari Have you flown before? Do you know how much effort, skill and personal development that is required in flying? We get what we deserve because we bear the responsibilities of dozens if not hundreds of lives, and machineries that are worth millions? The next time you step onto a plane, just think about what you are entrusting the pilot with, and you might realize that its not that easy afterall!

@damroc41 Be a pilot if you love flying, otherwise you will be sick of it real soon. :)

[connza1995]

@pocky54321 Legend, Pilots take so many risks to make ungrateful people happy, a small bump "worst landing ever" any landing you walk away from is a good landing

[cat2r17]

@Scrapari oh its easy ya...come into land where the wind is gusting the rain is pelting and you can see fuck all out the window meanwhile trying to nail the flight directors and keep it on speed while simultaneously getting rocked by turbulence and trying to take in multiple bits of information be it systems or whatever then getting it on the runway and not a passenger to say thanks or good job just commenting on how the weather at home isnt like it was on holiday. stil think its easy? get facts

[Exocisme]

@Scrapari If it's so easy, why don't you be a pilot your self ?

Planes fly themselves? When you set cruisecontrol ON in your car, do you stop driving it ?

Get your facts right before you judge any..

[CaptainGarethPayne]

@Exocisme well said lol

[bajesus666]

@Scrapari pilots get paid next to shit. Their pay is their love of flying and being able to do it all day all week and all month. The computer goes out the window once you have any sort of emergency. The computer wont put out a cabin fire, the computer wont restart a failed engine, the computer wont magically land a crippled airliner in water. You should take some flying lessons and see that it is both a heavy responsibility and a passion

[141gregmor]

ryanair have the best landings because there pilots are IRISH:)

[Exocisme]

@141gregmor Well, there might be some Irish Pilots.. But i am a Danish pilot who work for Ryanair :)

[GOLD1702]

@Exocisme yeah...teell me this.... y do the seats have to b sooo uncomfortable ? :D

[Exocisme]

@GOLD1702 Well, the seat i am sitting on is comfortable ;)

[GOLD1702]

@Exocisme hahaha i meant the passenger seats and they should really buy more planes like the 767 777 787 a380 737-8 737-900 737 MAX a330 a380 and 747 tell that to O'Leary if ya see him ask him to consider that plan XD it'd b nice to see a ryanair 777 in real life :)

[FredLarsson]

I think I heard that Ryanair makes firm landings on purpose to avoid the chance of having to go around. Is this true?

[Enduro116]

@FredLarsson They do make hard landings on purpose, but not to avoid go arounds, but because it's how Boeing suggest to do it, no flare. By landing hard you get the weight down firmly on the wheels and can then have full braking authority, break through wet layers on rwy, ensure activation of automatic systems (spd brakes etc) etc. Most airlines do not do this as 'passengers don't like it'. But, the fact is, it's the right way, a good positive landing, the gear can take it. Hope that answers.

[flygavmckay]

@Enduro116 Positive Performance Landings...

[FredLarsson]

@Enduro116

Yes it does. Thank you for your explanation :)

[Enduro116]

@FredLarsson I'd be more worried about how much fuel they're carrying if I were you. ;) Particularly if the weather is bad!

[MysticoNL]

@FredLarsson

Do you know the reasons why a pilot decides to go-around?

Unstable approach

Not cleared to land

Wind shear on final

Runway not clear/vacated

Other reasons why landing may be unsafe....

Firm landings are sometimes needed in order to land proper (water/slush on runway for example)

And btw RYR has a no-blaim policy regarding go-arounds.

[benpowell001]

ive flown ryanair around 15 times and not one has been a smooth landing!

[1333iwo]

@benpowell001

i've flown RYANAIR about  20 times and not one was a bad landing

[benpowell001]

@1333iwo must havr had the same pilot all 20 times then and differnet guy for me :L

[kkdjen]

you couldnt ask for a smoother landing than that. However, ive been on some terrible ryanair landings. But then again, i dont think its only ryanair who occasionally has hard landings.. Good video

[Shemesis]

Ryanair is nothing special. There isn't much leg room on flights, anything extra you want will cost more money for a scabby amount and I'm happy to make joked about them. But they are incredibly good value and I'll never stop flying with them

[ChrizRockster]

Tidy!

[snowy1331]

hey that was a great landing! And wats rong with ryanair! i flew with them once it was great!

[favierize]

yo viage aller en ryanair asta palma y izo un aterrizage buenisimo imaginaos que la señora de mi lado estaba dormida xd

[AR123457]

Perfect landing .. well done ! Ryanair ought to get a lot more credit than they do, they are a perfectly good airline, I've flown with them and it has been fine. The pilots are just as good as any other.

[Rigglaug2]

Hard landing!

[Pvjinflight]

@Rigglaug2 In your ass

[FSXDelux]

@Rigglaug2 That Learjet 45 Simulator landing of yours was a hard landing!!

[Rigglaug2]

@FSXDelux That was the point. Not this one!!!!!

[1333iwo]

Ryanair is fantastic!!!!

[Gladioter1903]

People are always whining that they want cheap tickets. Then they have cheap tickets and of course there is another complaint... The airliner (ryan air) sucks.

[roseipk]

It's not the pilots that are the problem, it's the company's attitude towards it's passengers. They are treated like sheep, fights to grab seats and non stop selling in flight. I stopped flying with them. You get what you pay for. 

[setabretsam]

@roseipk could'nt agree more, but untill people realise that they are NOT THE CHEAPEST and try alternatives they will continue to rob the public.

[coogande1]

@ollo1982 I flew the 737 for 6 years and have 4500 hours on it, but then I converted onto to the far superior Airbus A320/A321 which makes the 737 look like a bucket of shit

[coogande1]

horrible aircraft, horrible livery, horrible airline

[ollo1982]

@coogande1 That aircraft is the aircraft with the biggest success ever in the whole world... so just shut your pai hole :P :P

[Musicman1582]

Do you want a medal for that observation? ...

[MysticoNL]

Quite funny to see these comments and than just read that over 100 ryranair pilots got easily accepted on to the 777 of Emirates...

[CaptainLongJon]

In reference to earlier comments, I am a Ryanair pilot and the training to fly our airplanes is some of the most rigorous throughout the industry!

[MrYou212]

Ryanair pilots are really goodpilots they professional and they are not bad just because its cheapflightsairline :) RYANAIR IS rreally good ouhh and nice video @mythicalireland

[shugbranke]

That was a normal Paddy-Landing , never 43 knots. Anyway Ryanair pilots think knots are just for tying-ones-laces ...... wouldn't know a knot from a 'adiabatic-lapse-rate' !

[tjs468]

Ryanair Style :)

[TheShadowPX]

Haha funny how some people think pilots of some airlines are worse/better then others.. Pilots are pilots there are bad ones and good ones and all of them have to go through the same tests and education.

[dikel18]

Ryanair has the best pilots, considering the airports they fly to...

[Ryanairpilot95]

Ryanair forever!

One of the best airlines in the world.

Ryanair: My prospective employer. :-)

[FinisDierum2027]

Well.. Ryanair got British Pilots and.. it's commonly known that british pilots are the best in all the known world.

Greetings from Italy.

[drico1243]

No way!!! It was an ILS autolanding!!!

lol just kidding, ILS or not the pilots made an awsome landing!!!

Congrats.

[cammyammy]

Ryanair pilots, as well as other staff, are paid & treated badly by Ryanair. Ryanair is a complete joke when it comes to staff wellfare

[planes142]

Beautiful landing!

[Triglavus]

Glide slope much?

[WoodstockHiker]

I could almost hear the round of applause from the passangers.

[fsxman44]

yeh good but i dont see why everyone gets on at the pilots at ryanair its the airline people should be bugging

[plasmavor1]

You do 100 shit landings your bound to get one good one ;) hehe

[leo3214226]

abc

[jura1996cs]

Ryanair RULEZZZZZ!

[inacio1barsa]

it was a nice landing, also very smooth if you compare it to other b738 landings

[Elthehablo]

See, RyanAir pilots are awesome!

[TheSweSkillz0rs]

Everyone survived now didn't they? Shut up haters.

[jonny2k100]

Just because they are a budget airline many people think their pilots get budget training. Definately not true. Remember all pilots have to pass a series of very difficult tests before they can transport people.

[TEHEPICBROS]

very skilled landing even for ryanair. unlike the other ryanair flights i've been on.....

[luckykevinification]

I think any pilot is A good pilot. After all they can do something must of the people can't

[musickills]

to be fair, ryanair does have some of the worlds most inexperienced pilots.. as far as turbine/turbo fan/turbo prop time goes. I wouldnt use the word bad, just inexperienced. ( in most cases )

[Juppie902]

Ryanair pilots were trained by Flight Simulator 98... and this course costed them around 10$ :)

[Harman999]

@Juppie902 if you're going to try and criticise, at least type in english!

[Juppie902]

@Harman999 If you're going to try and troll, at least learn how to use the internet!

[Harman999]

@Juppie902 I'm sorry but I do not know what this so called 'trolling' is. But to answer your reply, I am quite happy with my knowledge of the internet and how to use it for my needs.

I was merely commenting on the fact that many people are very envious of pilots and will look for anything to put them and the job down. It is a fantastic career but they work very hard to achieve what most can only dream of.

[menglinhai]

@Juppie902 If only it were that cheap. Ryanair pilots have to pay for their whole training, about £70,000.

[GenerationGerKiller]

Fuck ryanair

[mrswagerondeckk]

@GenerationGerKiller fuck you pussy

[tomo0086]

Yeah you pay €5 for your ticket...

Then another €200 for your luggage, then another €80 for the stuff you bought at the airport.

[ViveTuVidaXO]

@tomo0086 Well now, maybe try read the T+C and bring the right weight and sized luggage and that won't happen to you ;)

[prono36]

Ryanair is the shittist airline known to man they are scruffy assholes

[ViveTuVidaXO]

@prono36 Excuse you. Anyone who calls another person "scruffy assholes" must be speaking for yourself. I'd appreciate if you didn't tar us all with the same brush just because you had a bad experiance.

[killerpigeon347]

i just want to say that ryanair is an amazing airline... i dont no what all this crap is about them having crap pilots.. its so untrue... do you actually think a bad pilot would be aloud to fly a plane

[1065chris]

Is this video of flight similator video?

[MrFlyingaround1]

ryanair sucks ,just the pilots are good like everywhere because they dont wanna die either :D

[hasjt]

Ryanair pilots skill like everywhere esle... only Ryanair Company is piece os shit!

[FPVsean]

Where's the expected "BADUMF" that one used to get on the old 737's! Ryanair specifically were always terrible for the landing

[Ry6n]

I work for Ryanair and the training is no different than that of BA or Virgin. Every pilot wants to put the aircraft down as gently as possible trust me! we dont aim to get heavy landings. It would be interesting to see those who believe they understand what its like to land a 60 tonne aircraft, actually land one in a full motion simulator. Alot harder than you would think.

[XOROHN]

every pilot is just a fuck better then the most people here who can't fly any plane!!!

[karleriksmithson]

So Smooth

[flyzapva]

I hate how people think that Ryanair pilots are bad just because the media has a bad view of them...

[MsAnnelies97]

@flyzapva the ryanair pilots are not bad at all, i agree with you. i am going to fly with them tomorrow and i always fly with them. i love it.

[TCX757Pilot]

@flyzapva I agree, RyanAir have an excellent safety record and a Large Fleet of New and Green Airliners, The Media should give them a Break.

[hairyfatslobpig]

@flyzapva They have had what, 2 incidents??? A bird strike and an engine oil leak. Comparably and with the amount of volume, that's a superb safety record.

[flyzapva]

@hairyfatslobpig Nah way more than that but there's nothing wrong with that - happens to every airline

[hiimbrady]

@flyzapva Right. Their reputation was most certainly earned because a ticket costs seven bucks and a bag of pretzels.

[lonleyraverx14]

@flyzapva trully anoying if your a piolot you gota be good

[tylerboyd11]

@flyzapva I dont mind Ryanair it a good airline

[TheBadameco]

@flyzapva I ever read on youtube about Ryanair hard landings and bad pilots. Ever I go to Oporto airport ( LPPR - OPO ) and watch Ryanair landings... they are the best landings on that airport

[chlms3]

i don't know what to complain about, a nice flare and normaly they should only land with 30 knots.

[corkaviation]

about time ryanair

[ShamrockROI]

Everyone always slanders Ryanair, they may have a bad name but they have some quality of pilots and are usualy the first airline people will go for they're type rating (Flight Training)

[lestypuss]

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

[corkaviation]

Nice video

[fillecool2]

Actually no

[mmiikzuu]

Ouh, so great video&landing=)

[ioannis21shum]

Amazing landing!!

[armiskornis]

yeah...

loads of people say that ryanair is bad.people make jokes about ryanair

but actually it's alright if u need to travel like only 2 hours or something then it's ok and its cheap as well so what do you expect more...

a tv would be nice... naah only joking ;D

[fillecool2]

Ryanair is great

[Aviationnation10]

@fillecool2 joke?

[mido1317]

WTF Guys! That was just a very normal landing! Shouldn't expect anything worse under normal flying conditions!

[fanmanu1000]

@mido1317  it was a smooth landing

[LiamKroes]

@mido1317 you havent read the description have you??

[thehangover69]

@mido1317 It's always the guy at home sitting on Microsoft Flight Sim that has to say "that was a very normal landing" go back to your virtual world.

[mido1317]

@thehangover69 haha... You are a funny guy.. I like your imagination.. & yeah, you are right.. I use Flight Sim but without the word "Microsoft".. That's because I fly real aircraft and real simulators.. Anything I can help you at? ;-)

[hookiebookie1]

@mido1317 It certainly look like a simple landing but I reckon there was a lot more to it than first met the eye! From experience landing can be a very intense and busy experience - even in ideal conditions. And if this pilot was a perfectionist (like me ;) ) he was probably going for a centre-line runway contact. Also we can see a lot of wing flex which suggests rising airs from the runway which can cause problems! That said, it does look like a rather simple landing :)

[mido1317]

@hookiebookie1 Agreed! But are you saying that this little video is all what you need to confirm the difficulty of this approach and landing?!! Come on!! We've seen much worse..Really much worse! So unless it's a cockpit view (or at least, a R/W centerline view) with a proof of the METAR on that day (or taking a glance at the wind sock) on that landing, sorry..I still hold my grounds! It looks damn easy.. I won't give the pilots there any credit for doing only what they should do!

[hookiebookie1]

@mido1317 True that, you hold a very significant point..! By the same argument however we don't have the METAR of that day, nor do we have the IFR approach pattern which, given, can be very simple at the majority of airports, could have proven tricky here with given weather conditions of the day. However, I must confess I don't really have enough evidence to argue back so I'll agree with you. As i always say: better to stand there and appear stupid, than open your mouth and remove all doubt..!

[mido1317]

@hookiebookie1

I appreciate your way of communication mate.. Thank you!

Safe Landings :)

[gluca90]

nice video

[L1J2D3]

Ryanair get's a bad rap... I have full faith in their pilots!! I was on an aer lingus a321 landing in dublin recently in perfect conditions, but there was major floating ground effect once over the threshold, and when the pilot did get down about halfway down the runway he had to use the entire length of the runway to stop, slowing down in just enough time to take the last turnoff - the braking was so intense it was uncomfortable. I'm Irish, and proud of Ryanair!!

[TheHalofreak92]

@L1J2D3 ya i always fly with them and cant complain about them(im german :])

[OrodesIII]

@TheHalofreak92

Germans are trained not to complain, I understand.

[MrZacadinho]

Ryanair have excellent pilots. Nice video!

[jacosborne14]

thats the only soft landing I have seen by Ryanair

[747johan]

Dont like ryanair but nice landing =)

[747johan]

@FS9VATSIM haha exactly =)
