kingair gear-up landing

[Oospartan92oO]

i just tried to do that on fs x during one hour, finally, i died more than hundred times ^^

[All4Gristle]

His landings gear up are better than mine gear extended...nice work partner.

[jonshay]

that is sexy as hell

[ambrosialmien]

Noob here, but is this referred to as landing gear up or gear down or belly landing???

[ssflyboy25]

@ambrosialmien Gear up

[minimusmax]

That was actually quite a stupid idea to shut down those engines. If he messed up the approach, he has no engines to perform a go-around. Not a smart move by the pilot, unlike what the announcer said. better play it safe than sorry

[erwinhoogman]

@minimusmax

Safe would be in order for the plane not to catch fire to shut down the fuel lines, so to stop the engines. They did an excellent job

[FlyGuy2480]

@minimusmax If you are not a pilot, you should not be allowed to comment on the pilot's decisions. The POH explicitly states to turn off all engines and equipment prior to an emergency landing. This prevents the aircraft from erupting into flames. Contrary to what you think: If it's incredibly unsafe to not have an opportunity to go around, then nobody would have the balls to fly a glider. Glider pilots NEVER have that opportunity, yet most of them are still alive.

[snoopyloopy]

definitely one of the picture-perfect landings to put in a training vid...

[fsimpro]

sick landing

[Tricky2000100]

Why does the presenter pretend she knows what she is on about?

[skibumwa2001]

Nice landing.. A+ (I am pilot too )

[johncolinmclay2]

Superb !!! Wish i could do that so smooth with gear down ...But oh well , I can dream .HAHA . If anyone meets this pilot buy him a beer from me .!!!!. John . Would like to hear from the pilot if he ever reads this post . jmclay06@yahoo.com.

[Tman3555]

Ha they come out casually lol

[mandolinplayer13]

DAMN SON!!!

[blampa]

Great landing, the fuselage being so close to the ground would have given a bit of ground effect; compressing the air under the aircraft to allow it better float. Nice work, right on the centreline too.

[nsteiner23]

thats a smoother landing than i have with the gear down!!

[TheTaylorSp]

Some pilots cant make a landing that good with the landing gear working correctly.

[RobertGary1]

If this ever happens to me I'd be worried about the engine tear down. A gear up landing is certainly not life threatening, although it makes for good TV news.

[jesperH9]

now that is the best pilot i ever seen! but that reporter clearly didnt know a shit what he was talking about.

[romeox600]

this is in 2005?

[doh1959]

fukin hell great landing i would lick that pilots balls and im not even gay

[whitetrashphatty]

@doh1959 HAHAHAHAHAAa!!!

[dltodd1966]

@doh1959

I spit out a soda because of you. That was fucking hilarious.

[slamyam1]

@doh1959 now you are.

[airbus94]

That guys voice is sooo annoying, SLow it down slow it down hold it hold it hold it get it as slow as you can. FUCK what a cockhead.

[Brad1711]

That's some great flying.  Kudos to the pilot flying and whoever was in the right seat cut the engines at the perfect time.

[texashorns76]

That was fantastic

[Donteaeeeology]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeettt

[Aeromachines]

For those who wanted Make and Model: It looks like a Raytheon, Beechcraft King Air B-100.  The B has Airresearch Engines identifiable by the low, rearward exhaust stacks. The PT6 engine has high and forward stacks. A King Air Pilot. L Wiley.

[dessertjeff]

That is one hell of a good pilot sheez !! I hope he got an award or merit of some kind.

[HunterPilot24]

Very incredible!!! Text book perfect. He is probably a professional pilot flying a charter for vip's. I doubt there are many normal private pilots, even with a twin certification and complex ticket... that can do an emergency landing like that under pressure so well!!!

[duncansas]

very good job

[timuss]

What a landing nicely done!!!

[peterkarnik]

kissing the runway! absolutely fantastic landing :O

[fual23]

What plane brand / model it is?

Hat off to the pilot!

[Kcrwflyer]

I hate when they call the consultants.

[alan2526]

i hate when the journalists try to act like they know what they're talking about. I have a jrn degree and it irritates me to hear people act like they know what they're talking about when they actually don't!

[Kcrwflyer]

Are you talking about someone from the video?

[zackdl]

best gear up landing ive ever seen!!!

[guitartobi17]

good pilot

[chicoescalada]

great job!!!

[PGAtourchampion]

Nice work!

[wizziemovies]

WOW good pilot never seeing something like that.

i think the under side isn't damaged so bad .

jsut a fine landing

[stangme27]

butter

[ekimne]

imgine how smooth that landing would have been if the gear was down

[ulaaan]

imagine how he drives a car

[jotaman82]

Wow! Perhaps the best gear up emergency landing I've ever seen. From the outside the landing seems even smoother than if the gear were down! Very good control!

[stephim]

congratulations to the pilot.. very nice landing

[umk747]

Nice!

[rffmonti]

awsome landing!
