  • すごいー

  • very smooth landing!

  • Great vid!

  • never seen a softer landing. you can hardly tell the moment it touches down

  • AMAZING Landing!!!

  • NIce video and Landing, but why the Waypoint are connect with a green line, it must be a magenta line?

  • that was a soft landing

  • nice landing!

  • Get yourself some night flying experience and then comment on the use of lights before blurting out a critical observation. It's to do with the human eye than just having forward beams switched on or not. Then apply under CRM...

  • 参考になった!

  • wow

    amazing...its ILS, right??

  • Another Typical CATII landing

  • is it illegal to land visual at night in a heavy and when using ils it looks like the pilots are controlling the throttles, why isn't the autothrottle controlling the throttles up until touchdown

  • Intersting question... I don't think it is illegal as such to land a heavy on visual at night, maybe poor airmanship if the weather conditions posed a threat such as fog or windshear. As for the throttles, controlling them manually aften gives a quicker response than that of the autothrottle and I believe it's perfectly fine to have it disconnected during a CATI/II/III approach.

  • when landing a heavy visually it must be very difficult to only look out of the windscreen if you don't have a HUD will pilots establish themselves on the ils and use the feathers to aid them down or simply land the plane out the windscreen?

  • If the plane is established in 'approach' mode on the auto pilot, the plane will land its self regardless of the visual reference the pilots choose. The auto pilot is usually disconnected at some point during the final approach (even at night) as long as there is sufficient visibility. In this case the plane is landed out of the windscreen with the feathers used only as a reference for the pilots to glance at, as attention should always be focused outside the window on the runway threshold.

  • It is not illegal to shoot a Visual approach at night in a heavy , I work tower / approach at a joint use field. We have commercial stuff, corporate, and a lot of military stuff to include 55 H/C-17s. They shoot night VAs all the time.

  • ILS, Instrument landing system. It has the vertical and horizontal bar with a moving diamond shaped object which will indicate to the pilots if they are too high or low on the vertical bar. So if the diamond stays in the middle of the bar, it means they are on the GS, glide slope.

    The horizontal bar diamond will tell them if they are left or right away from the runway.

  • You do not slow the plane down with the flaps. The flaps are there to provide extra lift while the aircraft is flying slower on approach. Depending on your weight and desired landing speed you use anywhere from 20-30 degrees of flaps in the 744.

    The spoilers, detach the low presure stream on top of the wing, and apply preasure pushing the aircraft down on the main gear to allow the main gear brakes function. (Spoilers alone provide little braking moment.)

  • great video! i mean it..

  • The landing is very smoothy !

  • What's that buzzing sound as if the pilot is constantly adjusting his seat?

  • The sound is when the crew is adjusting her seat foward or back, on the 747 this made with an electronic system, not manually like it works in a car.

  • You mean at 1:48 when touching down? That's the sound of the auto spoiler. The motor is active to move back the spiler lever extending spilers on wings. But as Tovkal said it does sort of simular sound when they are adjusting their seats.

  • Yes that's exactly it! thanks. I was thinking that it's a very awkward time to be adjusting one's seat!!

  • the autobrakes do most of the work if they are engaged, the reverses are there to reduce wear and tear of the carbon brake disks

  • flaps can be deselected to 20 on landing and brought to takeoff figuration( 20 percent)as they may need to preform a touch and go on landing

  • Dear manchesterbob92.

    They will retract flaps immediatly after landing when they have tail wind.

  • Mate, you need to know your aerodynamics before you post your responses.

    The air brakes are required to slow down the aircraft and break up the airflow on top of the wing to stop lift being produced. Flaps are what increase lift and are not needed when trying to decrease lift after touch down.

  • i see, but i thought flaps 5 or 15 for 747 create lift and flaps 40 creates drag? and why is it that all pilots leave the flaps down until they exit the runways? thanks

  • Even flaps 1 create some drag, and of course, 40 will create alot of drag, but drag is a side effect. The main reason for having flaps down is to create extra lift at relatively lower speeds, and yes it will slow the aircraft down while in the air. However, once the plane is on the ground, the the drag caused by the flaps are insignificant, as most of the work is done by reverse thrust and air brakes. The airbrakes not only create drag, but also prevents any lift being created.

  • A wing will create lift when there is lower pressure airflow over the wing. Once that airflow is broken, the wing will no longer create any lift.

    It doesn't matter that much when the Pilots leave the flaps down or retract the flaps before exiting the runway. It makes no difference really. Also, the flaps extend and retract quite slowly, as when you're a passenger looking out the window, you won't notice the flaps being retracted until you stare at it while it does.

  • Nice Landing!

  • you won't need the extra lift if you're already on the ground...

  • what is this song called

  • i think they just did...

  • what is being shifted after throttle

  • Thrust reverser and speed brake

  • thanks,Vontrousers

    Ken

  • what a nice landing, they make it seen easy

  • Im a senior first office piloting a 797-400 for Dan Air, and that was a very good landing

  • that's gotta be the SMOOTHEST landing EVER!
