Heavy landing Leeds/Bradford

[guniformtango]

Perfectly good landing for the conditions.

[MrAviator12]

Pretty standard landing in those conditions?

[vnano]

Is that a 757?

[sastemro]

@vnano

No 757.

[Damienm7]

i think the pilot needed to take a shit quick since he been holdin it since take off LOL 

[gluca90]

Nice Video i just come from leeds 

[m1a2k3o]

that wasnt bad

[TCX749]

Pilots need to make a heavy landing on a wet runway to break the surface of the water. If they didn't do this, the plane would end up aquaplaning down the runway across the wet surface and eventually run off the end.

[MrJascol]

You was landing too fast thats what made it an heavy landing..

[Slaterator]

The landing was not as heavy as expected from me but I realy like the vid. What kind of aircraft is it ? Is it a Fokker 100 ?

[sastemro]

no 757

[nemlou]

@sastemro the 757 it is not equipped with ailerons "all speed"

[ianwood15]

@Slaterator 757 from jet 2 airways

[Slaterator]

@ianwood15

Jap, you´re right. I switched it. It´s a 757. Thank´s ! 

[craig7653]

Positive landing. Very good.

[chirimanar]

it wasn´t a soft landing, but the runway looks wet, so i guess they did a positive touch down to avoid spinning

[MrJascol]

@chirimanar Wrong

[don11hur]

@MrJascol hows he wrong?

[CommanderDenton]

It's spelled arrogant and the word plane is VERY in context with aircraft. it's in fact, another word for it.

[miracleeraser]

you're getting on someone for not being able to spell? did you read your own post? arragant?

[biggestMetallicAfan]

lol yeah that could work, that could work. Yeah i have read that article in an email actually.

[twoaxis]

the landing wasnt that bad...

maybe the woman who flew it ; )

[biggestMetallicAfan]

exactly man, i hate people like him.

[twoaxis]

stupid people would say,that the contrails are fuel,which is being dumped before touch down...

[looniticontherun]

In this type of heavy rain is it possible for an aircraft landing to aquaplain on the water? or is an aircraft to heavy? Has it ever been known to happen?

[TheMephisto1995]

That's a very good landing indeed . At least in such terrible condition . Hitting the centre line and braking aren't always well . Good video .

[nse8]

The person who actually made this video... did the pilot say anything to you about a bumpy landing and where did you come from ?

[sastemro]

No nothing.

Alicante.

[Kevvo4444]

@sastemro You know I'm sure I was on the same flight,I must admit I was frightened,if it was the same flight did it appear that the pilot was undershooting the runway then gave it 3/4 thrust to compensate then drop it down heavily slamming the air brakes and reverse thrust on because he had landed too fast? Thanks for the posting I didn't know anyone on board was filming.

[bestruvaever]

Thats a perfect landing in those conditions. It landed pretty well in those conditions, hit the centre line and braked well in advance, meaning the pilots dont have to spin it at the end of 14/32.

Also for the record its JET2 , and a 757.

[IST314]

no no it is a nice landing cos of wet runway, it is a prosedure cos u don't want ur plane drift in wet runway :) u have to put the wheel hard to runway

[sastemro]

No its a 757

[rekhraj7]

but dont 757 have winglets?

[biggestMetallicAfan]

Some of them do but not all of them.

[DappaTube]

Good landing especially in the wet.

[ghtfdsr]

love jet2 love the 757 and yes its very dif 2 a 737 the has shorter wing span to

[twinstu50]

Rubbish!. This is a perfectly normal landing. Nothing broken, no cups of tea spilled, no problems.

[tom1984uk]

Jet2 757 you poo

[corsairflyfan]

757

[We8City]

Anybody landed at Samos before in Greece? Thats a heavy landing!

[sartozzi78]

Me, but you should try Vagar at Fær Øer Islands :)

[DWongster]

Definitely a B757.

[lisdoddestraat]

its a 737-700/600 because with a 757 the gear is higher than a 737 ;)

[DWongster]

Go check the air brake positions. A 737 have a break between the 4th inner air brake. It is not all together.

[flyguy281]

It's a 757. You can tell by the spoiler's deployment at touchdown. . . Go watch a video of a 737 landing and then a 757 landing. . . You'll see.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

If you new planes you would see it's a 757 just by looking at the wing.

[rickerbycourt]

If you could spell you would have said knew planes!

[biggestMetallicAfan]

Why the hell would i spell fuckin perfect!!

Dude i know your one of those know it all types but to tell ya the truth, on here i don't really give a damn as to how i spell.

So i said new instead of knew (SO FUCKING WHAT)!

[corsairflyfan]

NO you are right it's a 757-200.

It's Jet 2 airlines !!!

[waynejj1985]

surely because leeds/bradford airport is quite a small 1 in relation to alot of other airports, the pilot would need to sit the plane down alot quicker anyway because of he shorter runway and shorter braking distance, just a thought.

[dalesteel]

the runway is not short. It used to have concorde and jumbo jet 747s landing there.

[Alex180992]

ouch lol.. ive been in a few heavy landings myself.. doesnt help your arse which has gone numb from sitting down for ages lol

[gliderwickid]

Pilots are encouraged to make a "positive touchdown" in wet runway conditions to push any water on the runway out of the way of the tires. At the high speeds at which aeroplanes are landing its possible to get aquaplaning which seriously reduces braking action.

[bradders147]

in weather like that it was prob an autoland so had nothing to do with the pilot the autopilot flares the aircraft retards the throttle, so auto lands are normaly quite heavy

[TREXBORLON]

I don't think it was an autoland. the visibility looked above even cat I ILAS minima, but raher the wind shear and gusts could've caused the hard landing.

[zulquarnainanwar]

hey, its not an auto land. Bradford airport doesn't have cat 3 ILS. its nomal landing, with the autobrakes and auto- spolier implied. The runway seems to be wet so the reverse thruster is being engaged upon 100 kts.

[Zezkus]

Pilots are encouraged to touchdown as soon as possible, particularly in bad weather even if this does mean slightly 'hard'. Aircraft is designed to withstand this sort of landing and most landings are smooth purely for aesthetics and passenger comfort. Nice video.

[jacobs088]

Looks like the Jet2 757

[turbine1013]

Text book bad day landing

[AVRILSBEAN]

Just like a Ryan Air landing

[mn06cjg]

If you are going to build an airport on top of a hill then there will be rough landings!! - I have landed at leeds on numerous occasions and can say never had a smooth one!!

[YorkshireRhinos]

same here the smoothest ive had was thomsons manchester to gran canaria

[ibook133]

Seems routine to me?

[timc1987]

that's called a 'positive' landing... therefore there will be no hydroplaning, so the wheels will spin up and the anti-skid system is activated...:)

[ghtfdsr]

your compley right iam a plane mad person my self

[huddersfieldno1]

was that a bad landing?

[marcelodelagoXD]

is that a 757?

[sastemro]

Yes

[quwers]

It's an Easyjet 737-300.

[shadddey5]

no no it's a 757......ya it's a 757...you can tell by the flaps

[lellric]

It's a Jet2 323 - I was on the bloody thing!!!

[shadddey5]

?wtf you talking about?

[lellric]

Its a Jet2 - Easyjet don't fly out of Leeds/Bradford

[ghtfdsr]

your and why would ppl think its easy jet they have orange piant with whit not red and silver

[quwers]

Clearly you are all noobs.

[flyguy281]

I thought it was a 737NG without winglets.

[team1200]

Americians are dumbasses, go CANADA! AND I LIKE ENGLAND TO,

[flyguy281]

Cool. Nobody cares

[team1200]

Typical Amercian, and FYI I dont think anyone said u could talk so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[flyguy281]

Okay, and who asked your opinion?

[HIFKhockey90]

i have a question... i am 13 at the moment and i am hoping on becoming a pilot when i am a little older... i do however experience some slight headaches after take off in planes very often... do pilots usually have these slight headaches? can i still become a pilot?

[slipstream86]

Hey mate. Good luck with your flying career! If you pass an examination by doctors called the "Class 1 medical", then you are medically fit to Hold a CPL/ATPL (your commercial pilots licenses) and work as a pilot in the governments eyes.

Might not be flying that is the cause tho? could just be a coincidence.

Obviously there's lower pressure in the cabin when the A/C climbs after TO. You may have a sinus/nasal/ear problem causing discomfort. Dont abandon your career,go get it checked out!

[HIFKhockey90]

hey thnx... btw, is it true that airline pilots have 50% more radiation than the average person because of the long hours at high alitude? (p.s. this wont stop me from being a pilot unless it is very unhealthy:)

[slipstream86]

I'm not sure mate. I doubt if any long term study has been conducted to determine if there is any effect. The vast majority of pilots live long and fulfilling careers without developing strange mutations or skin cancers!

[liascm]

yes this is true, im a pilo and im shooting radiation out of my body ike a flame thrower, my boss told me to stop being a pilot so i fryed him!!

[flighsimer]

no, it is not true about the radiation stories...

[American767]

good vid!! shame about the mannerisms of the commenters on this video -

this video reminds me of a dry landing with Ryanair haha!!!

oh well... im still alive I guess!!

[Voloda21]

O my god...where did football came from? Americans are dumb(well most of them) and English did not invented football:)Guys...is that really necessary?:) Arent we sort of like...all the same?People?

[xbeckyxbooxx]

ibflyboy,you cant even spell America,you thick yank.

[juanca923]

porque saco los speed brake en el aire donde llegase a caer en perdida se llamaba

[rarebasses]

Landing hard in the rain/wind is actually a good thing. The last thing you want in that situation is to let the plane get loose on a wet runway. It's actually taught in flight school.

[yorkiemarillion]

Landing looks OK - Leeds Bradford is famous for heavy/windy landings - believe me, I have been on much worse there!

[josh4hire92]

Jet 2 is so bad..

[namboozleUK]

was this jet2? and is it a 737 or 757??

[sastemro]

Je2,757

[iceflyevents]

757

[brittania1974]

No you dumb fucks it was a heavy landing because Sharon Smith and Tracy taylor from Pudsey were sat in aisle 14 and they weigh 50 stone a piece, fortunately they had both taken a shit at the other end before getting on the plane so the flight was at least 2 stones lighter.

[Childrenwithguns5000]

lol how are you watching this you americans are so thick you dont even know what leeds is

[brittania1974]

Shur up or ill nock yer ed off wiya stik. I am from there, lived in America 13 yrs cock, The americans aren't as dumb as you think, they just put that on to fool ya, behind that they are RIGHT CRAFTY GREEDY bastards...TRUST ME!

[Childrenwithguns5000]

wouldent say that in england mate the next thing coming might be a knife to your throat not from me though

[brittania1974]

mind your own business

[Ibflyboy]

hey go get a life cwg5000 you play vidio games all day long and who are you to talk plus I was just there and your people in england are bland and so is your food so dont talk about amereica that way you FAT NERD

[Childrenwithguns5000]

no im a football player oh im sorry SOCCER player the stupid word you say for footy

[Ibflyboy]

Whatever im a soccer player to and we watched you people over in the uk play soccer and you guys look like a couple of Fags running around touching each other and you guys suck you should be ashamed you play soccer over there come to Americe and you will see realsoccer players

[PuffMac]

is that why england invented the game. before you even start on touching each other, have a look at your so called 'football' wich isn't football, because you use your hands. and our game aint soccer, it's football - we use our feet :). do you even have a national team that can make it into the world cup? americans cant play soccer for shit! search some of the best british teams: liverpool, manchester, celtic... and you will see how to play football.

over and out,

Fag ;)

[DWongster]

Manchester United FTW! :)

[Kobeydurham]

soccer is a GAY sport

[tedisking]

lol pussy btw your youtube page is amazing :O

[tomhoppo]

u got rinsed by beckyboo

[Grizli12345]

@ Resolving well id rather the pilot make a go-around then make a heavy landing, 1. the planes wings could fall off. 2. the plane could split in too. 3. it could skid off the runway.4.the wind could make the planes wing bank to the right or left and hit the ground killing a lot of people, yes i know these things dont happen often but still why take a risk when you can make a go-around and land with any problems

[samsungsg45]

The wings wont snap off you dozy plantpot. Thats nothing compaired to some of the landings you get at LBIA.

[BenLHuddersfield]

Having flown into LBA a few times that looks fine to me & even if it had of been a rough landing you should be thankful because the pilot & first officer used their skills & expertise to bring you down well in less than perfect conditions

[Yahya66]

oh and nice landing..

[DirtyThing20]

not nice..too hard..bad pilots..

[Yahya66]

because there are some pilots on here...i would like to say some of you are bastards for wacking thrust reversers on....can you guys not come all the way to the other side of the runway so every one near that grave yard spot can have a better look....:D

[Flighty31]

It wasn't fast or heavy. Its a wet, short runway, that's how you are supposed to land. Still impressed about how you back seat drivers know the airspeed from row 16 or your desk. Really fed up of idiots offering 'informed' opinions on aviation.

[PMN]

That isn't a heavy landing at all, as anyone who's flown into LBA more than five times knows. And the aircraft wasn't coming in too quick. If it had been far too fast on final, it would have gone around. Airlines simply don't risk 230 lives for the sake of burning another ton of fuel executing a go-around. There was no problem with either the approach or landing whatsoever.

[nse8]

u beauty gd old LBA landing

[ResolvingChaos]

So many stupid comments...

I'd rather have the pilot make a "hard landing" in severe WX then stay in the air trying to make a "perfect" landing and encounter microburst/windshear and end up with a crash instead.

[totoni2000]

this is not a bad or heavy landing!! Perfect landing yes.

[EinkOLED]

Pilots don't make it imperative to land with passenger comfort in mind, just safely.

[BMIfanatic]

bmi?

[sastemro]

jet2

[simonthetree]

"for £70,000-£100,00 a year every landing should be a perfect landing"

on wet runway ops you should never grease it on. ideal landing technique for the wx.

and how the hell can any of you tell how fast he was going. get back on your flight sim's!!! ;-)

[melbsweetheart]

economy class passengers! yucky poo!

[americankingping]

don't be dumb. melfiires right they was comming in way too fast

[adouglas333]

This is not a heavy landing. You would not know what the airspeed was by looking at of the window. LOL!!

[rocknrolldogg]

maybe he learnt on GR4's..

[tazibiza11]

thats jet2 for you !!!

[G0tNicked]

Lol yea realy too fast and maybe . i think . that was a bit too loud for a landing :DSlow down :D

[PilotOfNorway91]

I think it was not hard...It just sounded. If this is a 757 or a 767 they always sound hard when they land. I sat on the last row ona 747 landing in CDG and it was a very smooth landing, but still it sounded like a hard landing. It looked normal, but yeh, the pilot could have flared a tad more. But good landing anyway. I think so passengers take it that the pilots should always make a nice landing, but they sometimes forget that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing... :)

[geo197730]

for £70,000-£100,00 a year every landing should be a perfect landing

[melfiire]

is it just me or are you coming into land a little too fast

[minimashup]

haha landing fast on a wet runway, good idea :P

[iNewsie]

Only cells phones and computers are an issue. They constant send and receive data wirelessly. Pilots use ILS or Instrument Landing System on approach to a runway. They're using radio signals to guide the plane in on the correct path. The fear is that cell phones/computers can hamper it. Video cameras don't send or receive wireless signals.

[SobaniForce]

I know mate. But you are still required to shut off all electronic devices prior to departure and take off. Actually, the amount of emf interference that actually makes it through to the instrumentation is extremely small, the atmospheric radiation interference affects the circuitry many times more than a cell phone would (as long as it wasnt pressed up to the instrument of course.

[Hotasflames99]

They were landing.....you can turn it on during flight, just to tell you

[zzddytt]

non-sense.

what airline is this?

[sastemro]

Jet2,From Alicante.757.

[colesy93]

Salute Alicante!!! ; ) It's great there!

[yamarspussy]

sum body left that plane with a sore ass

[chesmurphk9]

looked like an "ok" landing but you can tell its bad by the way it feels

[kloaRichter]

holly crap man, that looks like some bad ass overspeed lol

[oafctidfly]

lookd like major overspeed to me

[bctomuk]

I landed at LBA last Christmas on a flight from Prague and the landing was scariest I have ever seen. It was thick fog and we couldnt even see the runway out of the window when we were on it!

[123soccer45678]

It's not a 737-400/500 it's 757

[Pr3s3ntBoY]

wow

[CornwallisFelder]

2 things:

1.A bad landing at all !!!

and

2. I think its a Boeing 737-400 or 500 ^^

I come from Germany by the way ^^^^ XDDD

[looboy1]

what aircraft was it?

[sastemro]

757

[SgtSavage166]

lol *thud* at 0:20

[alexthebullo]

I can't judge anything,I'm not a pilot,but it's good to know that it went ok.

[craigjohnson12345]

Thats funny. Not bad though. Any landing you walk away from is fine.
