  • FO holding cam during landing... might as well take his epaulettes off.

  • You have a nice set of videos yourself JMR, sure brings back memories of the good ole days.

    Thanks for posting.

  • i don't understand , wen windshare hapen only with thunderstorm rit ? , what pilot should do go arond rit ? is dungrs rit ? i still see many pilot say i hav windshear and stil alive ? if u flying small A/C wen u expect windshear ?

  • Who in the HELL taught you how to speak?

  • english is not my 1st n i'm writinggg fast so don't be cowboy ok , i mean answer or shhut up

  • windshear is basically in this situation a downburst of cold air below a cloud. It should happen in various met situation but mainly in victinity of storm cell or rain clouds. Depends how strong a windshear is, sometimes it is just light nothing and sometimes only full thrust helps plane to recorver.

  • @602780573 To elaborate, what you are describing is actually what we call a microburst. You are correct in that wind shear can be asscoiated with a storm but it can also occur in a frontal change, the winds can shear at any altitude and in any direction.

  • I landed at Hong Kong last night, with windshear and crosswind...

    Pilots did a great job :)

  • I saw a mighty windshear once on final approach of ATR plane in Warsaw airport. I was on the ground about 1 km away from the runway 29 threshold at when all of a sudden weather turned into nasty storm with extremaly strong winds. I saw this turboprop airplane on final maybe 500 meters away, when suddenly winds just pushed it to the ground. The pilots must have shited themselves as they recovered from much to fast descent rate, just in time not to crash against the ground where I stood. Scary.

  • GPWS is standard equipment now for most airlines. It does enhance the safety awareness for the flight crew, and without it, that E170 would've been toast had the crew not respond to the caution.

  • u dont get the question eh ?

  • i understood your question, and i seriously doubt if the sound was "stolen" from boeing. i'm sure if you heard the warning in a lot of modern aircraft, they all probably came from the same avionics programming anyway.

  • Boeing don't manufacture the GPWS unit, they buy it in - just like most if not all of the avionics.

    Embraer and Boeing use the same supplier for their EGPWS units, hence the reason they sound the same.

  • When it says "caution, windshear" it generally means that it's an increasing performance windshear so it wasn't a big deal at that point in the flight. Nice work though.

  • Nice!

  • Good job taping and landing

  • Happily,the airplane landed.However,wind shear varies in intensity.

    A good signal to predict a wind shear is to look at the form of clouds,which in this video the clouds are cumulus that have a vertical development.

  • Very cool, thanks for taping it.
