Crosswind Landing - by All Nippon Airways (ANA) Boeing 777-200ER 【JA717A】

[gangster3591]

A 1st rate pilot flying a great airplane. No problem

[33GeoStef33]

I love it

[STALKER0809]

So fast approach!!! Cool

[crew080]

何というハイスピードアプローチ・・

強風に打ち勝つためですかね



[runaway09right]

the pilot flared but that brought the plane floating did you notice? Nice video.. thou I was wondering if I were sitting on that plane near window.

[RightWingAviator]

YOU CAN DO IT!!

[ShelbyGT500TT]

ok most of the vids that you have of planes landing um was there a storm goin on or somthin???

[pacificbound67]

A great landing considering how bad the conditions were.

[TheBreakdanzkat]

Pilot: Land, god damn it!

Boeing 777: No!

[ollo1982]

@TheBreakdanzkat LOL!

[marioyuc95]

This fucking pilot is my idol

[marioyuc95]

Awesome, this is the best crosswind landing that i have seen

[unixkid52]

wow

[Leeanmarjon]

so loud

[rintindumb]

this is where training comes in handy

[X22Mrkiller22X]

it looks like if the plane was drifting on air xD

[ThePeterfp]

Wowowowowow my god.........Nice video!!!

[mefenho]

He did a bad flare, made the plane run ahead from the touchdown point, making it a rather dangerous landing than what it was supposed to be under these weather conditions. I think he was too high, came down too quick and got a little speed before flaring.

Notice that he plane drops quickly before the touchdown. If the plane was a little higher than that, you could have damaged the plane and injuried some people.

[BassGuy128]

Does the autopilot handle landings or are landings the pilots job? Or is it like half and half?

[ImmortalSynn]

@BassGuy128

For many of the most modern aircraft, they can autoland if they have to (and if the airport has the proper runway category)... but for something in conditions like this, the pilots are definitely in full control.

[flyingdino68]

In my opinion the flare was too long. The pilot should land the plane exactly at the 1000 feet point in these weather conditions. The additional approach speed should be bleed off over the threshold allowing the plane to touch exactly at that point. Flaring with gusty winds near the ground is dangerous.

[srsparky32]

@flyingdino68 and you would know, because youve done it before? that shit isnt easy to do. and when he flared at the end, that was wind shear pushing him down. that pilot is amazing to keep control of the plane with that much wind shear.

[flyingdino68]

@srsparky32

Yes I landed in these conditions quite a lot of time. I'm an airline pilot.

[flyingdino68]

@srsparky32

Yes I landed quite a lot of time in these weather conditions. I'm an airline pilot.

[zdrasvui]

crazy landing!! great pilot!

[Shmaaaaa]

WING FLEX!!!!!!!!!

[arugila27]

Holy crap!!! dont watch this video when your drunk...its freaks the hell out of you!!! I thought he was gonna wouldnt have enough runway to land!!!

[franzh0001]

He was luky because had an enough long runway

[TheLonestar1969]

Outstanding work by the pilot...That approach must have been a real ball bust!

[SFConifer]

one of the best captured landings. you can compare to his other videos by the trees at how far the wind is pushing him

[jetairways773]

Being on a plane landing on those condidtions would have scared the shit out of me. Anyway, I'm glad he landed that big bird safely.

[appleglory]

He had quite alot of air speed, but thats normal on gusty conditions as you dont want to be caught out by wind shear

[Dermustafafenin]

Nischto Ohaaaa TO MITIRASIN GG EINTO RRRRRRRRRRET JAPAN

[chacho980]

Estimado MasaakiAsukayama le agradezco por compartir estas joyas de vídeos con todos nosotros, realmente son de una elevada calidad. Y así el hombre aprendió a volar en máquinas más pesadas que el aire, sus vídeos nos muestran a los peligros a que nos exponemos por haber expugnado las alturas. También me gustaría destacar la habilidad de estos pilotos, realmente héroes del día a día. Que DIOS bendiga las manos de esos intrépidos pilotos siempre, desde Argentina saludos.

[itachiuchiha026]

Absolutely excellent work by the pilot

[astoniz]

I like the Crosswind landing :D

[Flightsimxperts]

What the hell is that guy doing!! He flared way too early!!

[zSnoWMaYnE]

Look at the wing flex, aa very hard landing much props to the pilots, any1else agree?

[Andrew12949]

wow superb follow through

[justkiddin08]

Nice video!

[yugiohg5d]

nice landing

[1982FMJ]

i've always wondered that in strong xwinds landings do they keep the localizers centred or do they fly to the side of it to compensate for the effect of xwind. do they drift from the localizer in xwind landings

[HEDGESqva66]

@1982FMJ Airliners fly crosswind approaches using the crab method, so they fly at an angle facing into the wind so that the aircraft tracks the final approach course (straight in, no localizer offsets) and then just prior to touchdown they will kick the nose of the aircraft straight (or straighter) down the runway to prevent excess sideload damaging the gear.

[1982FMJ]

isnt there another method also where they yaw the nose straight all the way towards the runway and use alieron to counter the effects of yawing. In the technique you described they have to counter act they kicking/yawing the nose straight withopposite alieron. they get out of the crab and into the banks so they touch down first on the upwind wheel. it must be tricky in super strong xwinds as the nose will be facing away from the runway at 1 or 2 oclock in strong wind test flights

[HEDGESqva66]

@1982FMJ Yes there is another method called the wing low method which involves flying banked and yawed for the approach and then landing on the upwind gear. However this is impractical to airliners as it involves an extended period of sideslip which is uncomfortable to the passengers and landing banked is to be avoided in airliners due to the possibilty of an engine strike and the last minute corrective measures for a level touchdown are greater then that for the crab method.

[HEDGESqva66]

@1982FMJ Also, the crab method if executed properly does not result in a banked landing, as the correction is made just prior touchdown, leaving the wing no time to accelerate and bank, yet the pilot still anticipates any bank and is ready to apply opposite aileron if required. The pilot doesnt have to correct fully so that the nose is travelling directly down the runway, they only have to minimise the angle to subsequently reduce the sideload on the gear, then align fully after touchdown.

[Corinne6531]

I really like your videos !

[lois341]

skilled pilot good job

[jamiekenta]

very nice landing!

[Sidtan33]

A++++++++++ for this nippon pilot

[bkboeing]

Talk about Wing Flex.

[fightingtemeraire]

Brilliant landing but with hindsight he probably should have made a go around when he got stuck in the ground effect, that ate up a lot of runway.

[guastalla1]

Amazing!

[marlin610]

i can Smell the passenger stufff till hear

[pilotwave]

pure airmanship! that was amazing flying!

[bibleisfake]

Wonderful airmanship.

[yournameiswrong]

強烈な翼はフレックス非常に！

[felp23]

Nice wing flex and scary too imagine a 787 landing on this conditions with the insane wing flex !!!!

[scaremenga]

@felp23 Why would it be scary? The wing flex honestly looks the same.. and the wing is meant to bend that way.

[felp23]

@scaremenga what i say was that "the wing flex was nice and that is scary to imagine a 787 landing on that kind of conditions "a little typo mistake on the "too

",also thanks for the heads up Mr. smart a** airliners wings are flexible because no flexibility can cause the hole structure to collapse due to the high stress (learn that on school) and if the wing flex looks the same on your video you need to upgrade your pc for something more HD or get some glasses.

[scaremenga]

@felp23 Am I supposed to know your intentions? You put "to", not "too", and in this case both versions of that word were acceptable, so I assumed that's what you meant to say. The only reason I gave you tidbit at the end was because I thought you didn't know wing flex was a natural phenomenon, implied by your comment, not my thoughts. Before you call someone a smartass why don't you consider why they corrected you. Because it sure as hell was not my fault that you spelt "to" wrong.

[scaremenga]

@felp23@felp23 Obviously I know why the wing flexes, I told you that it's meant to.

Just so that I can't call you a smartass by assuming what I meant by wingflex, here's what I meant to say: "The 777's wing is relaively flat in comparison to the 787's wing before lift is added, the flex on the wings seems to be the same." Meaning, the wings get the same amount of flex, but one looks more flexed (the 787) because of it's stationary wing strucuture. Got it??

[ROBLOXROX007]

A landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

[antoni2nguyen]

I've flown with several airlines and saw that Japanese Pilots are most skilled in crosswind landing. They did every landing very gently.

They are like that because there are many strong winds in Japan.

[pompheaded]

using less flaps helps to keep the plane more stable by giving it lesser speed to land, u dont wanna land fast in those monstrous crosswind,

[tinkandtory]

@pompheaded yep!

[bixdude]

That must be one of the worst landings I have seen for a long time... much too long flare, misjudgment of height, over-control... should probably have made a go-around... and yes, I fly the 777.

[scaremenga]

How does it handle in crosswinds?

[megathumper777]

wow, I totally aggree, did you see that nose down application?? Scary sh*t

[Alex320014]

who cares, he landed

[TCF40]

@bixdude

Jackass, the only thing you fly is a paper kite--perhaps an A380 too on MS flight sim. You probably stayed in a HolidayInn Express last night too. Anyhoo, flying into Narita can be a biotch. Winds that day were almost 30kts on a direct cross, with gusts. And a gust or two clearly ballooned this aircraft. Wasn't pretty, but there was no "over control" and "misjudgment of height". BTW, what is "misjudgment of height"? Was that something SAS taught you in the sim--ha ha.

[MrExspert]

agreed.....landed long and the normal landing runway at Narita is only 7 or 8,000 feet long (been awhile since I've been there). Fortunately the 777 stops on a dime.

[blueflame53]

that was impressive.....and don't care what kind of aircraft it was

[1091Alcatraz]

este piloto si que es un chingon

[32574]

puta este piloto si que tiene los huevos mas grandes que los d un elefante !!!!

[MsTommyknocker]

I've flown once with ANA

[fmatos22]

oh god! good job for that captain

[dave4shmups]

I'll say! That's the first crosswind landing I've seen where both of the back landing gear touched down at the same time!!

[FSProductions10]

What a flare

[Darkonomist]

This is the best crosswind landing on YouTube I think

[dedicatedsimulations]

that was dramatic!

[piromoretta]

damn.......good landing

[Scandinavian10]

Narita International Airport - RWY16R End

(NRT / RJAA)

Date : 2009-2-14 (07:35 JST)

[FatMancubus]

Sick

[ken92660]

Okay, this is by far the best crosswind landing vid I've ever seen before!!

That was just sick!

[Planeyogurt]

これすごいな！

[Durdurdetrebebe]

even if he had already cut the power, wind could still 'blow the plane up' by adding some airspeed to it. =]

[34567k]

????!!!!! i have had like 35 kts gust 60 xwind about 27 -30 kts stright cross and i dont jerk the controls like this i wonder why he is over controling it .... i think aiming for smooth landing welll any landing you can walk away from is a good one loooool

[Scandinavian10]

Have you flown a real airplane from the pilot seat?

[34567k]

yes i did have you ever done that before if you havent come let me teach you

[FreestyleBoy001]

hahahaha what for a landing

[whayever22222]

if he didnt cut the power at the flare

u will not neet all that roll correction

anyway he got it finally

nice landing

[rachaelmatt]

excellent video, bet the passengers wer cacking themselves

[jnrolf]

10/10

[srsparky32]

this pilot has my respect that is one difficult landing and he executed it A+++ by textbook. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up to this all nippon pilot.

[monstahhh12]

@srsparky32 how do you know the pilot was a he?

[ehsan719]

@monstahhh12 because women don't have balls

[MaDahTh]

Wow Insane wing flex XD That was scary too. 5!

[DanDFriend]

Holy that was wobbly!

[dymeksk8]

cool !!!

[omar2726]

Nice landing! Just look at the wing flex, and how the elevators kept on adjusting to stabilize the plane! 5 stars!

[ilamk54]

Does Narita usually have like... strong winds around the airport? A lot of the videos I've watched seem like the landings are a little bit wobbly, but all very perfect. I landed in Tokyo about a week ago and it was the shakiest landing I've ever had... just wondering if it has something to do with the terrain? Lots of wind there usually?

[srsparky32]

yeah Narita is known for its winds.

[TheAdhocrat]

He came in a little fast which caused him to go sailing down the runway.

[trancebeliever]

we need more speed to avoid stalling during crosswinds landings

[TheAdhocrat]

I didn't know that but it makes sense!

[marshalcraft]

@trancebeliever i was wondering also do you use less flaps when its windy cause i would think more flaps would cause you to get thrown around by wind more so you would use less flaps and come in faster

[fastermasterstudio]

Bravo!

[gaberhunter]

talk about wing flex... wow. :D

[SettingTheStandards]

dat was reeelll intense..nice video!

[Engelton182]

pretty loud

[sanmalav]

nice video, congratulations

[penzyon]

すごい揺れてるぅぅ～

[trancebeliever]

Jesus! Thats unbelievable! Fantastic video and pilot

[kennyming1524]

excellent

[silenthill307]

WOW !!!! that is one experienced and well trained pilot !!! AWESOME

[fernousdu972]

impressive approach ! there was a lot of wind I suppose ?

[jnbedros]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!

[slovely08]

Nobody got hurt and the plane wasn't damaged. It was a good landing.

[calipilot227]

@slovely08 A good landing is one you can walk away from. A great landing is one where you can use the plane again. :P

[nav3103]

we just can see how these pilot tried to float on the runway by looking at the pane elevator at the back..

[muthatrukka24]

excellent landing

[ajthompson34]

Amazing video, nice filming position!

[Megavids3]

eek some bad winds there! 5/5

[cleo0399]

holy smokes that must have been some wind sheers to move an aircraft that size around like that..you see the dip right before it touched down.

[fightersship]

風　強そうですね・・・・

客室にもすごい衝撃だったでしょう・・・

[854k]

Look at how the wing flex

[zzddytt]

damn this is a smooth landing, a very difficult task to perform under that condition. unfortunately, the fedex pilots flipped the plane.

[flyer176]

@zzddytt true, but you can't compare the 777 and the md-11. The Md-11 has an active system that corrects the pilots inputs to try and compensate for the md-11s small elevator and apparently, it is very annoying and the pilot has to fight it every second in some situations. The 777 has fly by wire, but it doesn't have a control augmentation feature.

[MrExspert]

MD-11 was extremely pitch sensitive, while the 777 is roll sensitive. During a gusty landing (crosswind or not) the sensitive pitch could be a handful on the MD-11

[talzangel]

creepy - also will b flying there to narita for my first time and with ANA

[IdealistDreamer]

great vid!

[JackDooner]

difficult!

[lostinthetriangle]

Wow!

[rontayan]

OMG! I'm flying into Narita for the first time PLEASE Tell me all the landings aren't like this!!??!?!?!? *freaking out*

[Stratoliner777]

You can check the weather conditions for Narita for the day you arrive, sometimes it can be windy but there are smoother days too.

[patricklatini]

I wish I could see it from inside of the cockpit...great video! great pilot, 5 stars.

[avcomth]

Whoaa, never before on YouTube have I seen aircraft's wings FLEX so much as the ones filmed at this airport. Must be some crazy wind around there.

[joho8705]

Ride any 777 anywhere, the wings flex due to the lift of the wings vs the weight of the aircraft. Amazing landing!!

[vonjager]

he got hit by a hard gust at :57, damn near lost it. Fantastic reaction time. Good pilots. Rough landing for the passengers!

[arkobayashi]

Even with strong crosswinds and a litlle longer flare its seems a smooth landing. Shows the skills of the pilots in adverse situations.

[Kurtfr0]

I tried doing this on a video game. I blew up.

great vid 5/5

[BIBIBANZAI]

Nice video 5* + add in my favourite,the last weekend I did the ANA CDG I was happy!!! (^-^)

[ray0655jp]

I've flown on JA717A before from SFO-NRT. Having been on that actual plane before...I must say being in it during that particular landing must have been really interesting!

Great video, Asukayama-san!

[x303Kingzx]

DAM!!! He Didnt Even Touch Down For Awhile! It Was Like 2-3 Miles From the Landing Spot!

[stockhus]

He floated =)
