[720p] Crosswind Landing - by Singapore Airlines Airbus A380-800 【9V-SKD】

[ScrappySuper91]

And that is why Singapore Airlines have the best trained pilots in the world!

[dailypinoyshowbiz]

That is an "idiotic" video. =p

[ahernandez4110]

Scary

[Fastbikkel]

@fachy1981 , think whatever you wanna think. I have been on many 737 before, and i will get on another one without thinking twice.

Flying is safe and if i have to die in some crash, i much rather die in an airplane crash rather than in a car. At least with an airplane crash, you might be named on discovery channel one day in a program called "seconds from disaster".

[iamgangster]

Wonder why the A380's rudder is always steer to the right at the parking bay?

[mikeycbd]

Now that is amazing!

[YangsterNo9]

wow look at the rudder and elevators go!

[proditz]

i did not phucking phucking phucking phucking do anything!

hey you! don't lie thas a pho phuc lai!

[MrBryan86]

Huge plane!!

[icars98]

@MrBryan86 It's an A380.

[g17y5wb]

How long do you think it took to clean up all the vomit from 500 passengers?

[MrWhitshort]

huge plane.. but i cant heard sound engine anymore =D

[waieroblox]

hey wait a mient a fedex the have a crash landing

[jcv972]

Are you on facebook?

[sqy391]

a380 always slams onto the ground

[icars98]

@sqy391 Yeah.

SIA does not pitch up the A380s high enough on landing.

[sqy391]

@icars98 why not? is this a standard procedure?

[itstheniceguyme]

Amazing how the wings bend down when the pilot applies the air brakes...

[boettger1]

@itstheniceguyme Is that because of the brakes or just because of the lack of lift? Looks like full flaps and full brakes ought to cancel out, so I'd guess it's the lack of lift that allows the wings to return to their at-rest position...

[jeffersonkhoo]

It's not about how smooth the touchdown is alright.

The most important thing, is that you can grab your luggage and walk out of the arrival hall in ONE PIECE without injuries.

[agusamadeus]

It has not the "rotation lights " turned on....

[GDOTV1]

check the rudder out once shes on the ground. amazing landing.

[breathtakingblue]

That wing is massive.

[alquiora]

holy shittt that looks super scaryyy 

[laurensexy93]

LOL hard fuck landing!! good pilot!

[1budgies]

wow it's quiet!

[LukeEvans26]

I wonder if the captain would have briefed the passengers before the approach. I can imagine the applause in the cabin after touchdown. Just in reference to the previous nonsense of what company is best... Utter tripe. Pratt & Whitney, CFM, IAE, Rolls Royce, GE and others are all great in their own right. As are Boeing, Airbus, De Havilland, BAE, Embraer, Lockhead etc. Speak to pilots with a lot of type ratings. The have love for them all, so why shouldn't we?

[justkiddin08]

Wow amazing job done by the pilots! Great video!

[TLVspotter]

Its amazing to see how the A380 is so quiet :)

[svscared]

All I can say is good job by those pilots.

[tony2funAE]

Dam look at te wing when te plane lands fucken sexy

[fachy1981]

Which´s the BEST Life Killing plane ever?: The Boeing 737= 5900 Casualties.

Which´s the FASTEST Life Killing plane ever?: The Boeing 737= 2,5 casualties per month.

There you have Boeing beating the competition...The Best and the Fastest all at ONCE.

To save ur life...just avoid the KILLER 737.

[AckbarsFist]

@fachy1981 I'm sorry? Last time I checked, most airplane accident deaths occur at once, not slowly over the period of months.

Also, the 737 and all of its variants are the best selling aircraft in the world, so yeah, it's gonna have more deaths.

[hinnong]

@fachy1981 what in the world are you babbling on about? you need to stop taking drugs...

[itachiuchiha026]

@fachy1981 to use the average of 2.5 casualties per month is simply ineffective to judge the safety of a plane. Although the Boeing 737-800 variant is deemed to be less safe compared to the other 737 variants, the large amount of casualties are due to the fact that the 737 has been the most mass produced airliner ever. With the large amount of aircraft created, casualty numbers increase. Of course an aircraft such as the 737 would have more casualties than a less produced aircraft (Eg. L1011)

[ollo1982]

@fachy1981 Poor you... after the statistics,the 737 is ranked 5 out of 20 where 20 is the worst and 0 is the best... 737 have after what statistics says, 47 fatal crashes out 76 million flights.. i would say thats pretty damn impressive! That just show how safe the 737 have been after it came out in commersial traffic... Remember... it isnt the 737 it self that is bad,but remember that mainteinance is extrememly important,and also there have been alot of pilot errors making the crashes!!!

[fachy1981]

@virginbluedude I am idiot than you are an biggest smelly asshole in the world!

[TheUKCanadian]

What scares me about the A380, just look at that rudder defelection just after touch-down, very dangerous.

[frodary]

@TheUKCanadian Come on, nothing scary with that. Ridiculous comment.

[TheUKCanadian]

@frodary ...are you a frog?

[whitireia]

@TheUKCanadian the same type of rudder deflection you see on many 747 no doubt. Besides A380 lands at the same speed as a A320 due to the gull wing design. Probably why it requires a degree of rudder control.

[Racing600RR]

Crosswind landings are scary D:

[rodrigoborgesflores]

scary but safe

[lamolei]

Nice,nice,nice videos!!!!Thank you!!(La, from Sao Paulo-Brazil)

[dral00]

A380 engine seemed pretty quiet...

[whitireia]

Compared to 747 A380 looks very sturdy in a crosswind.

747 always looks like the wings are going to fall off in crosswind landings.

[burtonboy67]

wicked...that mother doesnt half bounce around.........excellent vid..

[punietere]

ya se me calla todo el mundo que tanto discuten aqui ya!!!!!!!! y me abren el puente hidraulico que puñetere va a pasar!!!!

[flyzapva]

Your vids are awesome!

[cerrutiboy]

you can't get anymore badass than this!!

[B777rocks]

pretty nasty crosswind, but fret not! SQ's pilot's are on hand to handle the situation :P

[piromoretta]

damn that fucker is big

[fachy1981]

Concorde and Airbus is a joint venture with the United Kingdom, and France. The United States has never put a commercial supersonic aircraft in the air, and to date do not have an aircraft to match the power of Rolls Royce engines or the power of the Rolls Royce Trent engines. Europeans can work together, unlike the Americans.

[Smoznizjev]

You do realise that the world's most powerful commercial engine is the American GE90, right?

I'm European, I love Airbus and prefer them over Boeing, but that doesn't mean Boeing doesn't build some great planes. The crap you're spewing here, more often than not vile and laughably uninformed, firmly puts you into the 'Idiot' corner...

[ACDCROCKS135]

You are a complete idiot. Have you even heard of the GE90-115B???

[fachy1981]

737 to every Boeing fan is an aircraft that needs to go in an museum as an antique. 737 is an dangerous plane to travel . If you love your life go and sit in some other aircraft. This is now nothing but rusted antique of 70s. Recently in Jamaica a rusted 737-800 of the 70s and 80s crashed. LOL the engine fell off, and the wheel colapsed LOL.Check it out American airlines DEC 22, 2009

[virginbluedude]

@fachy1981 737-800 of the 70s and 80s? the 737-800 was developed in the late 90's/early 2000's

you, my friend, are an idiot :)

[fachy1981]

sorry I am not idiot, but it was built in somewhere in late 80s, it doesn't matter but still it is an rusted design of the 70s nothing new, same old body frame, cheap material, it is old than a decade.

[virginbluedude]

@fachy1981 haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[VivaLaEmil1]

@virginbluedude to be exactly ,1998 :P

[Smoznizjev]

The engines did not 'fall off', it was a runway overrun. The gear collapsed? No shit Sherlock, it was a RUNWAY OVERRUN! And the plane was built in 2001, not 'the 70s and 80s'. You're a waste of space.

[fachy1981]

When you don't know anything, then don't talk. The ngines first fell of the wing then the wheel collpased then it overrun the runway!. Your country is not even part of AirBus. Belgium has no hand in building Airbus. I'm from Great Britain and I know. You and your country is waste of space, not me. My country builds great stuff!

[Smoznizjev]

Just like the UK, Belgium is not part of Airbus (the British sold their share), but most certainly does act as a subcontractor, building parts of the planes. And no, the engine did NOT 'fall off', the accident was a runway overrun, it broke off from the impact, which would've happened to any other plane. Read the damn reports. Oh, and you're from the UK? "you and your country is waste of space"??? THAT is the level of English taught in the UK these days?

[fachy1981]

My country is better than your small tiny country. We still own Airbus. Who fucken makes the Rolls Royce Engine, the people of Belgium LOL.

[Smoznizjev]

We're going to turn this into a 'my country is better than yours' argument now? Wow, I feel eight all over again. And no, you don't 'still own Airbus'. BAe Systems sold its share in Airbus (20%) to EADS a few years ago. You're free to look that up, not that I expect you to. And last time I checked, Rolls Royce didn't make planes, they make engines, and they do so for both Airbus and Boeing.

BTW, how old did you say you were again?

[fachy1981]

My god you are so illiterate that you have to go on line and check out if British are still making planes or not. Major structural sections of the A380 are built in France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The wings are manufactured at Filton in Bristol and Broughton in North Wales, The wings are made by the British. Stop getting jealous, as your small tiny suffocating land without width on the European map has no contribution to AIRBUS!

[Smoznizjev]

Buddy, I don't need to go on the Internet to find out stuff about Airbus, and I know fully well who builds what on the A380 and other Airbus products. Unlike you, who seems blissfully unaware that Belgian companies also build parts of the Airbus planes, such as the slats, slat tracks and actuators, the nose upper shell of the A380, the A330/340 tailcone, A340 flap track fairings, or part of the A380 subfloor structure. And yes, the UK sold its share in Airbus, it's now owned 100% by EADS.

[Smoznizjev]

BTW, you didn't answer my question about your age: how old are you?

[hagios9]

@Smoznizjev he's 5 years old.lol

[hinnong]

@fachy1981 It seems apparent that you are a retarded 29 year old. I feel sorry for you

[fachy1981]

@hinnong You don't need to be sorry for me. In this fucked up economic crisis still doing very well. Think about your own self!

[jomparinsqui]

the first A380 was build in 2005

[ARVIAON]

@fachy1981

Lets not take sides and hate, the 747 is a great plane and served its purpose for its time and has continued to serve. We should give credits to boeing. Now, the A380 has succeeded the 747, credits to Airbus. The A380 is THE plane of the future.

[qwerty112311]

@ARVIAON The 787/350 are the jets of the future. Airbus over stretched with this plane, there is simply not enough demand to warrant such a big plane. As Boeing has said, the future of travel is point to point, not buh and spoke system. The A380 will serve a purpose for something like JFK-LHR, but not much more than the big time routes.

[fachy1981]

Boeing is now 10 years behind Airbus. Airlines that use the 747-400 will be looking to upgrade in the near future and it seems that A380 is the more popular choice. Airlines don't just want another 747 derivitive. They want a completly new airliner.

Now with the delays of 787, it seems A350 will enter the market 2-3 years after 787 which should make for an interesting market. A350 can also take advantage of building second making A350 with slightly better technologies than 787.

[qwerty112311]

@fachy1981 If I have been reading the Airbus press release correctly, it will be around 4-5 years after the 787 comes out that the 350 comes out. Don't forget that they had a 2+ year delay on the 380, so expect the same with the 350.

[ARVIAON]

@qwerty112311 Yes, that i have to agree on.

But if you think to the near/distant future, as you know, we are running out of natural resources to fuel the planes. Yes, a bigger plane which can carry large amounts of passengers for long routes which is fuel efficient is the best obvious choice.(At least in my opinion) The 787 is smaller than the 777. Yes, it is fuel efficient, but we don't actually know the accurate fuel per passenger per KM.

[ARVIAON]

@qwerty112311 On that note, what i'm trying to say is that the A380 saves time and jet fuel in terms of transporting the passenger from one place to another. Yes, obviously the 787 is THE choice of leisure, medium range flight. The A380 is a huge step forward in aviation, but i don't see much of a difference in the 787s and the 350s, Unless you're talking about a airliner that can take off vertically.

[fachy1981]

Fuck Boeing 747, this is a beautiful aircraft so quiet my god!.If it was that stupid noisy, rusty, antique of 60s Boeing 747, then definetly it wouldn't have landed on the runway and it would be a turn around. If you look at the other videos, all 747 had turn around in crosswind. The engines are not noisy, all credits go to the British Rolls Royce company they are number one.

[qwerty112311]

@fachy1981 The A380 is one of the more ugly planes I have ever seen. That is not to say it is a bad plane, but it doesn't look as good as any of the other major production commercial jets.

[DeltaAirtran]

It was so quiet!

[SuperBen316]

@DeltaAirtran  now you know what idle is lol

[DeltaAirtran]

@SuperBen316 Ya. I already know what idle is. It's not because it's on idle, it's because that's how the engines are really made.

[nakmos14]

@DeltaAirtran yeah you're right

a pilot would not prefer to idle his engine when he's that far in a crosswind condtion like this

[Wolfhoundersful]

Для такого ветра - отличная посадка!

[FlufferClassic]

Вы правы ... невероятный

[kimiles1]

What a great view of the load coming off the wings once the spoilers deploy. Watch how much the wingtips drop once the aircraft settles on the runway. Amazing.

[ssodc]

Very nice video´s thx for uploading your videos.

Best regards and five* :)

[zocrokai]

ooki desu yo...sugoi~

[sealalula]

This landing seems weird lol

[18daryus]

you are from Japan ? Awsome video

[mobius5759]

The bigger they are, the more wind their bodies catch. Naught but a leaf in the breeze.

Isn't British Airways supposed to add a few A380-800's to their fleet sometime next year or later this year?

[truly0phinoy]

My Gosh..it soo scary if you see a Gigantic Plane Doing crosswinds......

[jmiller006]

fucking huge plane.

[Yuke1976]

Heathrow is currently the only airport served by all 3 airlines with A380. Twice daily by SQ, once daily by EK and I think once daily by QF

[Pilotobe]

Sydney International Airport is serving all three as well

[Yuke1976]

I didn't know that Emirates is flying A380 to Sydney. :)

[Pilotobe]

Yep. I am not to sure how many times a week they are here, but I have seen them overfly Bankstown Airport on Saturday mornings at approximately 0700h.

[rhettski999]

they fly one of their a380's on the Dubai-Sydney-New Zealand route

[revchess]

They really needed it for Sydney; 777-300ER can't make the distance unrestricted and 777-200LR and A340-500 are too small. Heathrow they can only get a few slots and so needed the A380 as well

[paescu21]

Their 777-200ER's are bigger than their 300ER's

[sleepy740]

its daily.

dxb-syd-akl.

also daily to bangkok, london, and three times a week to toronto.

[camerooniepooniepoo]

virgin have their A380 in service in september i heard from a virgin pilot in which i know!

[k0nn0r]

September 2012, yea

The A380 destined for Virgin isnt even built yet, not even the parts, let alone joined, wired, ferried to Hamburg, gone through outfitting, testing and delivery.

The first Virgin A380 doesnt even have an MSN assigned to it...

[sdrfgvrfgvsfravgdsvS]

wow looks like a toy

[LtdBudgetProductions]

How many A380's are currently in service?

[Mazarp]

Currently 17: Qantas 3, Emirates 5, SIA: 9

[aescobar32]

add 1 for air france entering service in november

[airbuslovers]

hard landing..

[steveswn]

The giant bird landed in style...nice video.

さすがプロですね！パイロットも雅明さんも.

[1887Kkkaaaiii]

He lands without the right lights^^

The red and green lights are missing, lol

[issueagent]

no need to in this weather

[SettingTheStandards]

SILENT!!!...d wing droop on touchdown was amazin!

[issueagent]

MAN! That was quiet! It is truely a whispering giant!

[breh760li]

A380 is really starting to look scary when landing...as if its size affects its every movement..for sure passengers got tensed lol

[jesiketha]

beautiful landing

[MBM001]

I wonder when the pilots get that route, they think oh shit i have to earn my money today. Thats some serious sideways action.

[smileycheek07]

I think the Boeing 747 looks better....but its not as good as A380

[fernousdu972]

beautiful approach

[maskedhedgehog]

God, why is the A380 so ugly?

[quaresmasbiggestfan]

wat are u talkin about its a beautyyyyy

[type2mike]

I think its just because the fuselage is short and stubby compared to the wings. It will look better when the longer -900 and -1000 versions are built.

[MBM001]

Youve gotta fly in one to appreciate the technology they use on these things. Yes the Flaps are noisey but all that aside the engines are almost silent and turbulence is hardly felt because of the size of the aircraft so for a passenger who wants minimal noise on a 14 hour flight from Changi to Heathrow they are the best thing since sliced bread and the Color television.

[maskedhedgehog]

Nice comparison :)

But sliced bread takes the fun out of cutting it yourself^^

I agree though, from a passenger comfort point of view it is a great achievement.

[BEARDEDMUSCLE]

lol

[mamitsumamits]

Wow, i never new about 'crosswind' landings until now! i would love to see how it is in the cockpit! such expert and professional handling...definitely an acquired skill! kudos to pilots, much respect!!

[einenrauchen]

what was the wind speed?

[jilopantat]

Wow, that sound. so nice

[Stllno]

**Mental note to self** Don't fly to Narita airport - especially in the winter!

How different is the A380 to other aircraft? The wing design itself is so radically different and how quiet is this thing?

[toy2day]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!! Congratulations!!!

[jilopantat]

how many a380 that SIA have now?

[sealalula]

they have 6 now a 7th one coming very soon!!

my national carrier SIA rocks :) !!!!!!

[zeesham13]

Singapore airlines have 6.

[youtrein]

Wonderful ! awesome touchdown and crosswind ! add in my favourite !

[JackDooner]

wow talk about quiet,,, a big difference in noise from the b474

[avcomth]

Weird looking wings. Seems to be curved from the bottom up.

[Shardith]

When the spoilers are extended just after touchdown, they do give the wings a curved look.

[DavidandI2]

man that was a bad day

I have just seen about 6 planes in 6 different videos of this day at this airport

[bkkintl]

the big beast is coming!!

[bkkintl]

very good video with HD format, give you 5 stars!!!

[TeleCumber]

high def, full screen. nice!

[TheXtremeEnthusiast]

awesome video

[BIBIBANZAI]

Whaou superb!!! Nice video 5* + add in my favourite

[MYILMAZ01]

shows how insignificant we are compared to mother nature! wow!!

[markston92]

Is Narita in Japan?

Nice landing btw

[dru4m]

All I can say is WOW!!

[incheon]

I loved the wingflex all through the approach and touchdown...

[BlackChromeJoker]

Another Day For the Pilots!

[hiepke1]

Great video!

It reacts pretty allert to input for such a colos.

[fernousdu972]

excellent pilot !!!! impressive approach !

[cypriotpilot]

WOW,that was spectacular!!! Hard landing...
