Hard Landings and Close Calls

[pikidom59]

AirPort is Tegucigalpa in Honduras

[martinairtransat]

what i8s that last airport????

[LegoDDairways787]

bouncy airplane 0:17

[johnairlines8]

0:14 WEE! :D

[dskxalive]

Why did you show the Md-11 at kai tak twice?

[ipodinfo1234]

I feel sorry for the passengers.

[Scandinavian92]

Oh my. That Swiss landing was horrific.

[leobeauty123]

great video, but probably shouldn't have watched as flying in two weeks, yikes

[Kokar96]

the first plane is a low rider with a plane kit and wings....=)

[nolifemerc]

@NewPumpkin ok you are part rigth i agree to some point here landing in Hong Kong is not drama allmost killes a hard landing witha 767 is not either, but landing in london with the 4 engine fokker is it? is and the nosegear with the 737 was, again the difiting 747 aigain landing in Hong Kong.

[xevier21]

Is it the first one just for commercial?

[phantomemail]

The last one was not a hard landing at all. The pilot was on the proper glide path.  How would you expect him to make the glide path any flatter ???

[AmericanDairyman]

I like the part where the plane lands

[Al2K3Ro]

The first one is fake, the second one is windshear, and a lot of them are nice landings in difficult conditions (not all).

[saummaysharma]

some are very fake like

[saummaysharma]

very horrible

[09Mrcreed]

1:38 That's me in Flight Simulator X

[henkiehenken]

you suck 

[ilikerio]

The last one is not hard moron...

[FlyingDutchMan225]

nice video, BUT could you please remove that berlin video link and thet other one? I want to pause it sometimes and then I click and the video is gone! xD but again:: nice video!

[ScientificExploits]

First one is fake...

[Trekker1801]

Fox News & The Sun huh? You had to bring politics into a video about aircraft landings didn't you? You just couldn't resist. Sad.

[dunhillsupramk3]

@NewPumpkin 1st rule of flying any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

[billinthailand]

kinda enjoy it

[tysongriffen]

most of these werent that bad

[ollo1982]

You should redo the title of this Video! Title should be more like: Good landings in horrible conditions :)

[derekli04]

@NewPumpkin Chill man... this is just for fun... plane crashes are serious business but none of these situations turned ugly

[westernpack99]

pilots spent too much time in the saloon. J.K My friend flys for FedEx as a captain. But the music fits it

[WhiteeRussian]

if anything these should be good landings, the pilot manged to control the plane and as for the crosswinds

[martinezbrandon32]

the last one thats how ur suppose to land wen there crosswind

[02Nawal]

Your music is horrible. My ears hurt now! Sorry ass

[polskarocks12]

Didn't some people on the first plane die?

[an1m3ferlife]

GAY

[mrlejackle96]

Isn't this song from GT5 ???

[derekli04]

@mrlejackle96 don't think so... it's the Entertainer by Scott Joplin

[chrispowerxt]

@mrlejackle96

Ye, it's the song from the garage but a different version of it.

[derekli04]

@chrispowerxt oh, I didn't know that. thanks.

[mycarvideos21]

@mrlejackle96 Yup its from gt auto :)

[hammerogod]

OK...there are Bad Landings

They do happen.

You don't have to scourge OR defend the Pilots for hitting a Mulligan once in a while.

Shit happens.

The truth is that sometimes Wind, Fatigue, Peculiarities with the aircraft , Murphy's Law and the basic Law of Averages is gonna get you cross-threaded with the tarmac.

But:

"Any landing you walk away from is a good landing"

[homoiosify]

Why cant swiss airlines land their BAe 146 smooth for one time!!!

[bloe626]

OWWWWWW! My ass hurts now!

[geertjan96]

1:17, it was just a bumpy landing, not really hard!!

[Pvjinflight]

First is fake, well second is very hard, third hard but not dangerous, fourth is just normal for heavily loaded (?) IL76 that is made to land in very hard conditions, seventh just normal little bumpy landing, not very hard or dangerous at all, eight just normal,

[GAFAAAAAA]

@Pvjinflight the IL76 was a test flight

[EightCharlieFox]

I'm just glad we have all these aviation experts here on youtube to explain everything to us. Guys, everybody makes bad landings every once in a while. From the 10 hour student pilot to the 25,000 hour airline captain. Everybody. Not really a big deal.

[murpet1988]

1:38 wasn't a bad landing? That was pure awesome Piloting skill... apart from the fact that looked seriously out of crosswind limits and they probably should of been diverting.. none the less.. awesome landing (Y)

[Zeppelintroll69]

I think I would shit my pants if I was to land at the runway in the very last clip at night very insane.I have to say it's a accident waiting to happen.

[guasuguasol10008000]

Except the for the first one, which is a computer based commercial, the BAE146 hits the ground somewhat hard but all of the rest are normal landings, with different variables involved and correct piloting techniques. People are just not used to see them, there are a lot of things involved in a flight and most people mistake them as errors or problems inherent to the flight or pilots themselves. You jerks..

[derekli04]

@guasuguasol10008000 I know that; I've been on my fair share of bumpy landings and bad-weather ones. Just because it's dangerous doesn't mean it's bad. But some of these landings are definitely not ideal.

[arran601]

@guasuguasol10008000 all those landings are bumby and hard landings stfu

[swpilot2494]

@arran601 Your first solo landing in Flight Simulator looked like 0:14, right?

[porty500]

Doesn't beat the Virgin flight we took from London to Las Vegas.

Take of was like going up a set of steps and the landing was like riding a crazy bull, bouncing up and down.

I would say easily 3 out of 10 passengers threw up on landing. It shook me up so bad i now have to take valium before i fly!!

As for the poor old bastard in the wheelchair well...

[CommanderMarines]

lol, how is the last landing hard or a close call?

the camera was just close to the aircraft

[amishpatel90]

The 747 landing was a standard crosswind crab. Those pilots are extremely skilled and that was anything but a bad landing

[Connorwolves92]

the Toncontin B757 AA was a typical landing for that airport and a good one being a VFR approach and landing. I take my hats off to the pilots who fly to that airport :D

[sarmadasco]

And this is why I carry rosaries, valium, as well as have a few bloody mary's and a prayer card.....when I fly.

[flightTime123]

0:45  Stupid italians

[briinums]

the last one was actually very nice landing in crosswind :)

[RIcciAir]

i bet the pilots in the 747 at 0:27 were like......HOLY SHIT!!!!!

[airjokerr4455]

good landing at the first one!!

[Ron444S]

Hold the button '2' for 3D !

[caralhoporra36]

isso q e pouso forcadooo!

[oilersfan95]

I love it how it's just nice music. hahaha!

[Marcus666Sund]

THE FIRST ONE IS A COMMERCIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[derekli04]

@Marcus666Sund yeah... I've gotten that comment enough already. Once again, I'm sorry.

[trhopkins100]

@derekli04 The first one was a delta commercial right? XD

[nolifemerc]

@Marcus666Sund its not but it have been used as 1. thank you.

[thelopespilot]

0.55 landing about to touch fuselage gj

[JasMasKas]

what is the song name ??? good vids

[martinethson]

The second landing shows much more than just the landing itself. It shows how well designed is the untercarriage and the structure all in all. i would liek to know what the passengers said after it and what whent wrong.

[AdamWebb1982]

last 2 clips are amazing landings. Cant see anything bad about them.

[acoti]

@AdamWebb1982 Agreed. I'm amazed at how slow the second to last one was traveling when it landed.

[atrevproduction]

The first one is fake

[yynnmmbb]

These videos were all shot before the FAA tightened up their rules on pilots, drinking and flying

[TheK4ever]

What's the name of this sound??

[yynnmmbb]

@TheK4ever "The Entertainer"

[TheK4ever]

@yynnmmbb THNX!!!

[martinethson]

@TheK4ever Scot Joblin, The entertainer

[323tiim]

0:09 Touchdown was actually pretty smooth 

[Airshow2010]

Many IL-76 (0:36) Descends to the runway and do a head down landing! I find it very weird

[fsxmaniac]

this is what happens when the pilots use too much autopilot.

[herbergreen]

Technically, the Tegucigalpa landing is flawed because the main gear touches down before the displaced threshold (that painted line right across and ahead of the piano bars).

[1966boy]

number one looked like such a computerised move lol

[superzkid]

landing at 1:35 = PURE SKILL!!! epic crosswind!

[jamie190595]

at 0:35 to much flap... lol

[masterofstuff75]

some of these landings are miracles but i think we have all been on a flight where the pilot biffs the landing and your butt hurts from it.....

[thacker181]

U put the same one on twice u thick shit!!

[Zmurex]

the first is fake!

[tylerbm1997]

@shess0501 he may have touch downed on the displaced threshold but, with that short of runway, a good pilot will use as much space as he can to slow down.

[freon1978]

@tylerbm1997 The displaced portion of the runway is simply not available for use, no matter how "good" he/she is.

Regards the runway length, public transport safety factors will be built into the calculated landing distance and it is simply not neccessary to use the diplaced portion, if it was he wouldn't be landing there in the first place.

[rodrigoborgesflores]

have you ever hear about Juliet 8 STAR on SBRJ (SDU)? If not, so you do not even know what's hard.

[volcom1722]

1st one is fake

[FSXGuy1]

How was the British Airways 757 a close call or har landing?

[rohit9729]

1.40 and 2.00 damn skillful landings.

[TheCannonofMohammed]

If I had been the pilot, I'm convinced I could have done a better job. While it is true I don't know anything about aviation, I think that just my desire could have brought these big birds to roost in a softer, kinder fashion. Does anyone care to comment on my bravado and over-confidence???

[Tomosan2888]

@TheCannonofMohammed Not really...

[NinjaMark84]

@The last landing: And that's why American Airlines is my favorite. The pilots are good.

[manifestgtr]

haha this should probably be called tough landings...I don't think there were all that many maintenance jobs here, just a lot of annoying crosswind stuff...that 747 crosswind final at kai tak is one of the most remarkable landings on youtube man....so textbook...that guys a fucking shredder...

[trapatonis]

ufo at 1:02

[franklin612]

2:12 isn't a hard landing

[Tommyponny1]

1:37 looks weird

[federicosommersommer]

First one is fake, there is no doubt about it.

[GrapefruitSalad97]

Apparently from another video I saw, the first one was fake, it was remote control, and also you got the Alitalia DC-10 in twice

[piwo737]

nice movie:-)

[swjgt]

I'm a BA 757 pilot myself and at 1:17 it's embarrassing to watch.

...Oh God, that could have been me flying that plane

[pikapoketpu]

AA pilots are the best in the world

[AsItNeverSeems]

first one the pilot was like my sister learning how to drive

*stop*

*go*

*left*

*right*

[MrSandip110]

the plane at :58 was supposed to take off.......bt i think he forgot to go to toilet!, so it landed as soon.

[MrSandip110]

the first one was amazing!

[happyhour2012]

Landing #1 is fake - there's no way it would porpoise that quickly. It's from a commercial or something.

[xJaMeSxdAxdKx]

The BA757 was a training flight... It was empty... That is why it was bouncing around... It was empty.... I think

[PrisonVoicesDotCom]

I just got this sudden craving to pull out the old Nintendo and play Mario 2.

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

They need speedbumps on the landing strips......yep, get those speedbumps in....thats the ticket, lol.

[Mav1843]

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!

[DeltaAirtran]

The last landing wasn't that bad. But the approch was dangerous.

[1961gibson]

at :22 that is just like how the plane i was on landed when i was comming back from vacation!

[aolambros]

Is there a reason you played the alitalia MD-11 at Kai Tak 2 times?

[toontje12]

That first one is FAKE! it's a commercial off a dutch beer producer: HEINEKEN! look at the hole vid!!

[peddet]

@toontje12 Well so? It's still a hard landing :)

[Cessna1541]

well first of all the first landing is just a beer commercial and the last one the pilot landed just a litle too early but was not dangerous at all

[pautpy]

@Cessna1541 Well it had to. It was a short-field landing.

[bushpilot23]

That last one was a great landing. The plane touched down right where the threshold ends just as it should.

[TonyAirlines]

It makes me smile to think that I make such better landings than anyone in this video.

[NateTheGreatPilot]

AH! What was that pilot doing at 0:34? Guess he wanted to walk off the plane w/o a ladder lol! And good choice of music lol!

[plsniper]

that first one was a fake, but the first time I saw it I almost died laughing. Awesome!

[bruno84]

The most dangerous landing ever caught on video would have to be the recent one of Lufthansa´s 737 (If I recall) in which the left wing touches the ground.

[LegoFreakFarter]

A320 actually. Sorry for being so picky!

[bruno84]

Not at all! Thank you for correcting me!

[dapster]

I know the song that's playing but I can't remember the name of it! Damn me old man!

[musico81986]

Why is the last one "Dangerous Hard Landing"?!?!

If it was dangerous, American wouldn't do it! Obviously its well within the 757's capability. Search for what use to be US Air 737 landing at Toncontin, which touched down more than 1/2 way down the runway!

[airbusandmustang]

The second one scared the shit out of me. The first one is fake.

[PowerinChrist777]

then how could he manage to do it for entertainment lol but whatever

[btbdby19]

that first landing has got to be a fake. no way that that nose wheel could take that much punishment

[MaDahTh]

the first one is a beer commercial xD

[cocoyomboykuki]

nice song

[bassbaboonmitch]

wow who is piloting these things

[JMProductionzzz]

0:34

What plane is it?

[FrozenFlame333]

@JMProductionzzz looks like a russian bird

[JMProductionzzz]

@FrozenFlame333

Yes, but with one? Ilyushin, Tupolev

[Bushuhsh]

Il76 stands on the side :)

[amediastintas]

its time for some new videos on youtube.

[chris5812341234]

:40 seconds is how those planes are suppose to land. its not common for that type to land on their frnt wheel

[LDP555]

the blue plane i think is a zoom airlines is at Manchester airport :)

[Pvjinflight]

FIrst one was part of beer commercial :D

[DrainedOutBatteries]

1:55 was @ Tegulcigulpa?

[Crashtruk2]

2:14 was brilliant. Right on the centre line. These landing are good landings (most of them) anybody can land in perfect conditions. It takes an aviator to bring in a plane in any conditions.

[EuropaBloke]

@  1:40 That wasn't a bad landing it was an excellent landing! With that much crosswind that's a landing few pilots dare to make

[jsunflyguy]

That wasn't a crosswind there's a full video he just overshot final and had to make the terrible landing, note the limp windsock at 1:32 under the right winglet.

P.S would you want the guy flying your family to be a daredevil.

[Cessna1541]

u showed the same one twice

[TennisChamp59]

The first clip isn't a real landing. It was for a European TV commercial. You showed the Alitalia landing clip twice.

[aikidotentokaixalapa]

That last landing at Tegucigalpa is much more than just "not bad"--it's nothing short of amazing. The pilot had to deal with a descending turn approach, a terrain-hugging glideslope AND a cross wind to boot, and with all that, he still landed softly, right on the centerline, at the piano bars. The level of skill here is beyond words.

[derekli04]

I never said it was a bad landing. A crosswind landing with such a steep approach is truly amazing.

[wixxer3000]

@derekli04 i think it wasn't so hard as you said

[SuperMcfly12]

@aikidotentokaixalapa i highly doubt there's an ils approach for that runway

[lothar2048]

@aikidotentokaixalapa : I agree. this pilot skills can't be described... I hope to know piloting like him just one day...

[SirThomasOfFraser]

0:30 is exactly how a plane i was on landed

wasnt too great haha

[Aviationist11]

The last one was really lucky. You would have been sucked into the engines by the in-take or be blasted by the jetwash

[fiveDOTzero]

First one made me lol, reminds me of cars with hydraulics

[07tundra6in]

the blue airplane that started at 1:07 wasn't too too bad.

[kaeleon1111]

What is this airport at 1:46-2:24 ???

[zarzykzgr]

it is Toncontin (IATA: TGU, ICAO: MHTG) in tegucigalpa, honduras.

[bravo45]

1:46 is Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, its has been closed now. Not sure about the last one.

[FrozenFlame333]

@bravo45 i think you mean 1:30 for kai tak, and sorry for digging up a 4-month comment

[bravo45]

Thanks a lot for the correction, you are right, I meant Kai Tak for 1:30, not sure about the 1:46 but its probably a South American airport.

Thanks again FrozenFlame333.

[Bushuhsh]

1:46 is the Honduras capital city airport Tegucigalpa

[365ways]

it is fake because is an advertisment for football.

Actually is suppose to be the Austrian team coming to the Netherlands and the Dutch said that they hope the game would not be as hard as that landing.

[derekli04]

LOL thanks for the info. I didn't think that was real either, but had no idea what it was for.

[Weltbevoelkerung]

@365ways

I thought it was beer advert...

[MrFlightsim]

at 0.40 what a fugly plane

[ClassicCity17]

I know, I think it is a Russian cargo plane

[636roadrunner]

I am actually getting curious because I have heard it go either way. There is one comment about eight months ago that some guy claims that it was part of a heineken commercial. I don't know whether or not its true though.

[636roadrunner]

The planes landing gear could not withstand the weight bouncing on it. In the fedex crash that happened in tokyo the planes front gear collapsed after one bounce. Another reason I think that its fake is the airline that is on the plane is called "Crew Air" and I am not sure that it is a real airline.

[TechUniverse2009]

you're right it does look fake, but it might not be

[ericclapton36]

With the ammount of G's that thing would have pulled, it has to be fake, otherwise everyone owuld be dead! lol

[636roadrunner]

I always hated that first clip. It is a fake.

[tonysaprano11]

how is it fake?

[krispykreme82603]

how isnt it fake?
