Strange how the windsock is so limp for what are supposedly very windy conditions, now to be honest I haven't piloted anything in over twenty years and never anything larger than Cessnas, but I'd bet this ancient Chinese laptop that this guy turned final way too late and the results are as we see.
@francovance1 its not due to pilot error or wind. its due to the location of the airport. its basically in the middle of hong kong meaning that planes have to avoid the buildings on approach, which leads them to an s-shaped approach such as this one.
"Hello this is your captain speaking, we are experiencing some weather difficulties and the flight attendants will come by to make sure you are safely buckled..... " WTF BOOM! "Thank you for flying with Hong Kong Air."
in flying we deal with facts and not your fuckin emotions mark!i wasnt there to pretend i could or couldnt do it...i dont know what led to the screw up buy the turn was not anticipated well enough in advance and they were lucky to get away with it...Captain might very well have taken over.On what account do you bet that I couldn't have done it?I have landed a Tristar there on several occasions with windier crosswinds.What have you ?...?Speak up!
@CaptenSmoochie why cant you just accept that he did a good job rather than finding all the things he did wrong, you may well have landed there, well done, but why cant you admit that this guy did well
it looks good to the layman's eyes and no doubt was a last minute salvage that would have otherwise required a Go Around. i dont know if you are a layman or a pilot but from a pilot we look at standards.De crabbing is about timing.If he got thye timing right he would have touched down with the upwind gear first as is the requisite technique.That kind of touch down imposes severe strain on the Landing gear.Look at that quartering tailwind...its not that much of a crosswind is it?an overshoot!
more like course overshoot and desperate attempt to line up.Check the windsock-nothing alarming about it.Touchdown on downwind gear must have imposed some stress...if AIDS was installed..the pilot must have been bollocked...not layed!
Looks spectacularly to the layman though!Full marks for that dramatic swing skip!
emmm! hold your horse viewers.THAT WAS A SCREWED UP LANDING!Am sure if you had popped in the cockpit soon after that INCIDENT you would have seen a red faced crew trying to hide their 'skilfull' heads under their hot collars!
Fact 1) judging by that impotent like windsock...there was nothing extreme about the wind velocity.
Fact2) whilst the Kaitak Landing can be a challenge-it looks like a course overshoot and last minute correction touching down downwind rather than upwind of the crosswind

there was a problem with the plain's systems...it was very fast when about to land and it was a trick that was done by the Pilot to slow down the speed by lowering it side ways.... it was an act of a brave, intelligent and skillful pilot....Detailed documentry was made on it by NATIONAL GEOGHRAPHIC SOCIETY
@tawahdi: No, speed had nothing to do with it. Any qualified pilot can tell you that what was demontrated was one of two possible techniques for crosswind landings. This one is known as the "crab" approach. The other is known as the "wing low" approach.
@chrigiammann I get the impression most commercial pilots get kinda bored making their daily "runs" & any opportunity to REALLY fly their aircraft breaks the boring routine. See the guy practicing the 757 doing the zoom climb? The performance of airliners changes radically when unloaded with no passengers...making for a fun ride.
Did you see him pop the spoilers on the starboard side wing just as he touched??? He knew he had to kill the lift on the right side so the crosswind wouldn't blow him over....wind getting under the right wing would have lifted the right & he'd have to go around.....wicked pilot skills. After he got all his gear settled you can see both side spoilers pop up.....watch the top of the right wing!
@RichardEllisxyz totally agree with you..these are some mad pilot skills! However, he didn't pop the spoilers "just as he touched". In the 747 the spoilers are used as ailerons as well. When touching down the computer will extend the spoilers automatically (when activated). Thesedays a pilot cannot extend the spoilers seperately...but nice thought there! :-)
No, u guys are all wrong. The pilot did that to slow down the plane by increasing the drag, since passenger planes don't have flaps to do that themselves.
glaub mir, bei 'ner 747-400 ist die größe der Bahn nichts wert... da is die bahn auch mal ganz schnell zu ende - unterschätze die geschwindigkeit beier Landung nicht von diesem monster!
its not that bad cause he turns into the aparent "wind" thats so "strong" but then he straightens up, if the wind was that strong, when he straighened up he woulda been blown right off the runway again
Did you see the wind sock? Do you know how to read one? As a pilot I can tell you I have landed in MUCH worse with less drama. Granted never flown a whale or one into HK, but it was a 15kts crosswind maybe, more like 10kts.
Point being, this is a lot more dramatic than it had to be.
the Captain should have aborted the landing attempt. This landing is good, however it goes against everything pilots are taught about stabilized approaches. This approach to landing was terrible and they should have never attempted to force the landing unless it was an emergency.
their good at landing and well experienced probably because most of the Korean Air pilots had training from the Korean Air-Force before since Korean born South Korean are drafted to the Army at the age of 20.
and a quaint human fragrance befitting to deploy oxygen masks on full 100%O2 no doubt.Do cabin cleaners use vacuum hoses designed for humanitarian work?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What you are watching is an INCIDENT. Please note No 1 engine strike the runway on TD. This pilot will be doing cargo loading by now. The skill in comm aviation is NOT taking undue risk. This guy made a Bad Decision, and then Took Risk....with a 200 million dollar aircraft . It is unlikely that he/she is still flying.....thank goodness.....
@tasman763 The engine never hit the ground you dumb fuck. This is a great landing. Maybe you should learn what the rules of aviation are before you tell us ok? I am a pilot and what that guy did there IS in our training. It's a little easier then it looks actually... So please, do everyone on here a favor and keep your stupidity to yourself.
whats the name of this airport? theres an air port over in the east where pilots HAVE to land like this, due to the elevation of the airport and the mountains keeping the plane from making a normal landing. instead the pilot has to go in and land on a 90degree turn.
In flying we deal with facts and not your fuckin emotions mark!i wasnt there to pretend i could or couldnt do it...i dont know what led to the screw up buy the turn was not anticipated well enough in advance and they were lucky to get away with it...Captain might very well have taken over.On what account do you bet that I couldn't have done it?I have landed a Tristar there on several occasions with windier crosswinds.What have you ?...?Speak up!
aint this vid from someone else? i have seen it quite a few times too, it a crosswind landing at old's hong kong airport which, now was replaced by a new one with 2 runways. =,= stop copying others.
this is not skilled pilod, if he was, he would have normal approach, skilled would "go Around " and don't tell me that was crosswind, becaouse in crosswind you still fly straigh with rounway only position of the aircraft change, and in crosswind you make correction using rudder not controls !
you can even watch the last few secs right before the end of the vidoe ........even once landen on the runway he still vears off course....which u can tell is crosswind....once again .......fucktard (sry but i hate dicks who think they are right)
Haha, I have absolutely no idea on why you are rambling. I know it's a crosswind you moron. As a pilot myself, I would know just a tad bit more than you Mr. Expert RC pilot man.
He started his procedure turn too late and the strong crosswind pushed him off course. It would have been much safer to go missed but he opted not to.
rippedwookie....how else can a plane fly like that.....its fucking crosswind u idiot......he is flying into the wind then turns to alighn with runway....and to say i know hardly anything about planes other than model rc airplanes........u sir are a fool.
how can people say "this isnt that hard" its a soundless video? you have no idea of what force the wind was! and as someone said below (not confirmed) it looks like a 747 which would make it much much harder.
your beyond dumb cause your doing it right now. why dont you go look in the mirror cause you are colossal yet so much more than retarded. What are you a lonely mexican?
I agree with Shiro. He Is right. And whiteass, I used to be MacFan2011 now I'm MacFan2012. I'm back to argue with you. First off, your a liar because you don't work for an airline and if you do, you only the senior captain. FAILURE! Also, no one cares about your son so don't bring him up again.
Its not harder all you have to do is turn the rudder. My dad is a pilot and I think I would know how to turn a plane doing a crosswind landing. And you don't skillfully turn the rudder, you just turn it. Duh
haha, if you don't mind i have been a pilot for 23 years now, nearly 24 and trust me that takes skill. You can not make comments on something you have never done. Belive me you couldn't do that. Danny Sarath, Senior Captain, Emirates airlines
Well obviously, Emirates airlines doesn't teach there pilots right, or your just stupid. And no body cares about your six year old son, because anyone can land a 747-400 in flight sim. Plus your son probably has it on autopilot or you are helping him with the joystick. I will check with my resources to see if you really are a pilot. Oh bull, I could do that better than you.
ok call me Danny, and are adults not allowed to say "haha"?, and ok, i am stupid, a BA Honors degree in Mechanics, 5 O-levels,same as A-Levels, and an ATPL, and a job with one of the worlds best airlines, ok i am stupid pal
i beg your pardon sir, ok, i shouldn't have to prove myself to people o don't even know, but on this occasion i shall. Add me on bebo, just look for Danny sarath, i think its sad that people actually think i would lie about my career, BUT there you go. add me
i am sorry but are you a pilot?, are you?, no so go and play on flight simulator little boy, my 6 year old son can land a 747-400 in the 200kt winds on flight sim, but he couldn't do it in real life.
nooo, do they hell, they just let us play on flight simulator until we can land a plane, then let us fly there a340's. You immature little boy, you have never flown a proper aircraft, by that i mean a commercial aircraft, and i might add, never will.
this type of landing is called crosswind landing which every pilot should know ....this is basics for every pilot. but to do this type of landing very good and easy u have to be pretty experienced. im 15 years old and i can play flight simulator x on my laptop on hardest difficulity =-D
being a pilot is my dream job. got to hard work....
In answer to your questions: Yes, the passengers would have felt the heavy swaying/tilting of the plane.

GTAstuntman101 2 years ago
It's "lump" is rather large and characteristic of that of a -400. Also, as chanman4rings stated, it has winglets, thus further verifying it's a -400.
RippedWookie 2 years ago
OK, but, does the -300, -200 or -100 have winglets?
GTAstuntman101 2 years ago
Not that I know of. That has always been the number 1 characteristic of telling the -400 apart from the rest.

how can people say "this isnt that hard" its a soundless video? you have no idea of what force the wind was! and as someone said below (not confirmed) it looks like a 747 which would make it much much harder.
kibaXxXhinata 2 years ago
this is not as hard as you think.
all the pilot did was correct with the rudder pedals.

the full force of that landing was taken by just one set of wheels.
amazing how it could hold all that weight

Augh. The old hong Kong airport was very infamous for how hard and dangerous it was to land. Good thing the new one is better :D

I agree with Shiro. He Is right. And whiteass, I used to be MacFan2011 now I'm MacFan2012. I'm back to argue with you. First off, your a liar because you don't work for an airline and if you do, you only the senior captain. FAILURE! Also, no one cares about your son so don't bring him up again.

aztec1337 2 years ago
Wow, the planes wheels must be strong because it landed on one wheel (0:12 ) think of all the weight and forces, all on one wheel. : - ]

Its not harder all you have to do is turn the rudder. My dad is a pilot and I think I would know how to turn a plane doing a crosswind landing. And you don't skillfully turn the rudder, you just turn it. Duh
MacFan2011 2 years ago
haha, if you don't mind i have been a pilot for 23 years now, nearly 24 and trust me that takes skill. You can not make comments on something you have never done. Belive me you couldn't do that. Danny Sarath, Senior Captain, Emirates airlines
whiteass92 2 years ago
Well obviously, Emirates airlines doesn't teach there pilots right, or your just stupid. And no body cares about your six year old son, because anyone can land a 747-400 in flight sim. Plus your son probably has it on autopilot or you are helping him with the joystick. I will check with my resources to see if you really are a pilot. Oh bull, I could do that better than you.
MacFan2011 2 years ago
haha of course they dont teach their pilots properly???
whiteass92 2 years ago
Yeah, obviously. Or your just a stupid white ass. And you don't sound like an adult either. You keep using "haha".
MacFan2011 2 years ago
ok call me Danny, and are adults not allowed to say "haha"?, and ok, i am stupid, a BA Honors degree in Mechanics, 5 O-levels,same as A-Levels, and an ATPL, and a job with one of the worlds best airlines, ok i am stupid pal

This isn't skill, its called turning the rudder. Duh.
MacFan2011 2 years ago
Wrong,it's called "crosswind landing by skillfuly turning the rudder that saves 150 lifes".Now that's a bit harder :P

i am sorry but are you a pilot?, are you?, no so go and play on flight simulator little boy, my 6 year old son can land a 747-400 in the 200kt winds on flight sim, but he couldn't do it in real life.
whiteass92 2 years ago
nooo, do they hell, they just let us play on flight simulator until we can land a plane, then let us fly there a340's. You immature little boy, you have never flown a proper aircraft, by that i mean a commercial aircraft, and i might add, never will.

this type of landing is called crosswind landing which every pilot should know ....this is basics for every pilot. but to do this type of landing very good and easy u have to be pretty experienced. im 15 years old and i can play flight simulator x on my laptop on hardest difficulity =-D
being a pilot is my dream job. got to hard work....
