My Rough Southwest Landing into Austin Bergstrom Airport

[OpMusTi]

why is that?

[tholve]

Lol don't criticize the pilot when he has an okay landing. And I'm pretty sure you can't land this good.

[littlemancRiS]

Hmmm I expected a crazy landing but the landing wasn't incredible at all what a waste of my time. P.s. rename it as ''my stupid recording"

[flightoftheunknown]

It wasnt rough, you just cant hold a video camera still...

[tejanochris]

Actually you can tell that Austin is hilly in some places but mostly a little flatter as you can tell by the clip. West of Austin is where we have some real nice large hills. Austin is the party town of America. If you cant find a place to party then you're not in Austin Texas

[denhou1974]

Rough winds?? Haven't heard that one before. I've noticed that some of the 737's are more noisy which gives the impression of a rough landing. Wind usually doesn't make for a hard landing though. I landed a Piper in 18 knot gusting 27 winds last weekend and it was smooth as glass. Austin is a little high in elevation and it's usually hot there so ground speed may be higher upon landing which may make for a hard landing. This one looked okay though IMO.

[surreal99]

boring



[goldenkro]

what a georgous day for flying

[beaum1cah]

listen yall we cant determin how rough a flight is from watchin a vid on youtube

[kambridge967]

@beaum1cah lol true!!!

[familyguy958]

yes the landing was hard, but you just thought the approach was bumpy because you cannot hold a camera steady enough for a video like this

[dingdongditch1000]

Thank God you ain't LIBERAL!!!

[alex4525]

Southwest does not own any 600, all they have are 300s 500s and 700s. 300s and 500s types are "almost" the same, 700 are bigger. Quick way to know if it is a 700 or 300 500 type. All of SWA 700s have winglets, some 300s have also winglets. Now, those three things under the flaps that look like fuel tanks (they are not), if it is red it is a 700, if not it is a 300 500 series. Also, their tail number says a lot, if the first # is a 7-4-9 it is a 700, any other is a 300 500. This is a B737 300-500

[onechordshortofasong]

@alex4525 wow,cool info.

[countrytalk97]

wat plane

[l337Jeff]

NOT a rough landing at all.

[rushcrusier29]

looks like a 600 to me

[plane63]

Landing was perfect, perhaps not very smooth but the landing and approach were superb for the conditions

[usmeagle91]

perfect landing to me... Try landing in those conditions in a Cessna!

[jackgrocks]

wow. u guys should come to Canada. Air Canada's and Westjet's pilots are some of the best in the world. You will get the best landing of your life every time!

[harry8sally]

Hey dumbass. That's not a ROUGH landing. Remove this video for stupidity

[camthesciencekid123]

no thats pretty avrg

[Istandforournation]

How is it on a first ride of a airplane?..lol cuz i never been on one in my life and im 14.

[JonasBrotherTour2009]

Yeah I had a VERY bad landing in Austin coming ack from CA. The woind were about 45 miles per hour

[ctnpirate01]

don't u know what rough means???

[w5cdt]

Looks like runway 35L which is 12,200 feet long.

[southwest881]

Too slow :I

[GIOKMAN]

lmao rough ?

[rockergirl83]

That wasn't rough.

[PGMEagle]

That's cool how you can hear the Flaps increasing

[karpy10]

somone is aftaid of flying cus that wasint rough!

[drumgoddamn]

pretty darn smooth actually

[mfastx]

I don't know why but the flaps sound cool. Too bad the newer planes don't have the same sound.

[SeizeTheDayx3]

i was on a 737-400 a newer one about two weeks ago they sounded just like that

[drumgoddamn]

all 737-400s are pretty old

[SWA1453]

SWA doesn't fly 400's it was most likely a 300

[Kobeydurham]

soundedbad SWA is known for some bad landings

[bestpilot98]

tool

[Kobeydurham]

???????????

[usmeagle91]

bullshit

[flybynightvideo]

when was this?

[taurenspwn]

why don't you shut the fuck up you ignorant little piece of shit go fuck yourself

[Kobeydurham]

go fuck YOUR self

[Murray507]

How was that rough?

[cmhumphr]

this was not even bumpy or rough at all lol.

[alanlikebulls]

south west airlines suck

[americanpatriot1992]

stupid mexicans

[jamessfromtx]

What the hell is your problem?

[ilikeprius]

Well SW thinks you sucks

[01134hello]

let me tell u that this aint bad, i was flying in from hanoi to vietnam in a 777 and the plane had a bumpy approach all the way to the flaring part of the beginning of the runway, the pilot cut the autothrottle off and the plane slowly descended with quite a number of bumps and all of a sudden it fell that the pilot was desperate to land and just cut the power off and the plane just fell and smack the ground

[01134hello]

i flew from atlanta to memphis once and is it just me or is the american air space really bumpy and filled with rough winds

[TheZodiacPrincess]

Yeah, I have to agree with GreatLakesDrifta...my roughest landing was also flying intoChicago Midway and on a southwest flight. I remember the flight attendant got on the PA afterwards and said "Whew...that was close." I guess Southwest and Chic-Mid don't mix well.

[kickass5]

it aint rough its a bit shaky cuz tha gear is old on a older plane

[Hexify]

Wow, I don't remember flaps being that loud???

[01134hello]

i was in vietnam and was on the way to saigon from hanoi and i was in a 777-200 or 300 ER and when the pilot powered up the engine after the push back, the engine emmited a high pitch ringing sound...didnt know why...

[aircanada12]

i had that happen to me too 'cept it was in japan on JAL i think it may be new enigines.

[theone747332222001]

Those are the good old Boeing 737-300's. The Boeing 737-700 variety that Southwest also uses is more quieter.

[radjafan]

New planes are so cool.. but thing is that they don't make lots of noise :(

[austinsusairwaysfan]

Oh my god! I just had the most turbulent flight I ever had going into Austin on US Airways. But the landing was great.

[oggybodoggy]

u should be happy that there weren't any more cids on the flight

[GreatLakesDrifta]

Wow. Folks are sure hostile on this one. That WAS a hard landing (and i've flown hundreds of times). The hardest landing i've even experienced (in a commercial airliner) was on Southwest... We hit the short runway at Chi-Midway so hard we bounced back in the air, then came back down and they put on the reversers with FORCE... I like the video, though, good job!

[ruigama]

Rough????

Why rough????

[metalmulishaMTX]

chicks dig guys who put plane landings on youtube.

[bcrichplayer01]

I've flown all over the world and that landing is actually probably a smoother one

[ggreene245]

You need to make this video a little longer

[whitsoxrule]

Nothing like United flight flight 585 happened on this airline. Southwest has a good safety record; of all their plane crashes, everyone on board survives.

[drlgartner]

that was sofa king boring.

[Nukeaon]

uhhh, agreed with Jazzy one this one, normal Southwest landing, thats why I love that airline, its a fun flight....ohh that and they have only ever had one fatality (Chicago)

[Michael2125]

its cause i was buzzed!!

[SAMCAMJAIK1]

@Nukeaon They never had a fatality! The plane crushed another car which caused a death! No one in the plane died!

[spyder124]

Crybaby.

[belo4000]

That looks like a pretty normal landing

[asm757]

That was anything but rough i have flown throw thunderstorms severe and that is rough as a matter of a fact we had to divert so yeah. Wats up with the shaky camera well nice vid though.

[chaingang52]

normal landing to me..

[jazzydoglover]

Why is it called your rough southwest landing.....

Its southwest's landing.

[blizzue]

next time you think about shooting video, try not the shake the camera like you have parkinsons. christ.

[rarebasses]

THe shaking is prob from the rough winds! Can't you read?

[Freepablo]

It looked completely routine to me. Plane hits ground, bumps up slightly, then it gets noisy as hell because of the wind resistance and the plane slowing down so quickly.

[jvlinks]

your partially correct wind resistence on the airframe and reverse thrusters

[whoax]

Absolutely nothing rough about this landing. Routine if anything else. Total overreaction.

[75sevenA330]

I love the sound of the flaps going down.

[shadowmon31]

me too!

[tmont007]

Rough? You don't fly much do you pal. Wow. I bet stepping out of the shower is a chore for you. That was as normal a landing as I have ever seen. Nice vid though Shirley.

[ERAUPRCWA]

Sorry, but that to me at least wasn't a "rough" landing, trust me I've been through and have seen worse.  That was pretty decent considering the crosswind and the crappy runway that AUS has. I'm a pilot so...

[mccrocth]

The runway has seen better days by the looks of things. Other than that, all seems standard. Thanks.

[jofus2019]

Nice, thanks for this video!

[aatredes]

Good landing, bad camerawork!

[cactus743]

I can sort of see why you say it was a rough landing.

[USMarineKasel]

dosent look rough to me
