Landing at windy Lanzarote Airport

[rubberballz]

great video. not as good as mine though... lol

keep up the good work...

[nickfowlerflap]

MADDOG CRY! 0:50

[flyzapva]

What airline?

[flyingdutchmanpilot]

smooth

[AndrewGreatrix]

landing the plane with one hand what i legend

[Alwayzsmilin]

@AndrewGreatrix  Umm, that's normal. Other hand controls the throttles.

[gbriff]

looks like a dc 9

[lufthansa330pilot]

@shionycool what?

[FSXISCOOL]

like riding a bike..easy when you do it everyday...money for old rope ..pilots=luck sods=easy well paid hobby!

[GinoRc]

Lindo video, gracias

[bernard240vdc]

i aggree with Relativeair its obvious that if you push foward on the yoke and the nose pitchs down the airspeed will increase even without engine power that guy Tommyadey said the nose would pitcht down and airspeed reduce either he misprint or has absoloutly no concept of logical physics he should stick to guitar playing i looked at his profile even a car going downhill can accelerate without engine power

[LanzaroteExperience]

Interesting video. in our channel you can find a girl presenting the airport of lanzarote

[RUSSSELLLLL]

excellent!

[onefugowie]

i think he had a hard time of that one

[gilz16]

Exocisme and themonster75 Ima have to disagree with you guys.I doesnt matter if you are approaching in VMC or IMC, even though they are visual they have all the navs set and running. It is part of enhancing the overall situational awareness. That unless they ask for a visual approach which is also an IFR procedure conducted under IFR in VMC.

[SB9P4]

old pilot

[headgalskit401]

yeah so, with older comes an older experience.

[DinamiteBoy90]

MD-83

[martinalex123]

nice video,what is the plane?

[GeneralRaddek]

Thats a pretty kool vid. Its nice to see that the pilots dont freak out up there when they are dealing with cross winds and what not. lol

[Flow198812]

what's the strange sound at 0:50 ?

[EnkyNakamura]

it warns about the minimum height (usually 300 feet)

[teenhakker]

well, i don't hope i'll ever be in a plane that flies fully by an computer without a pilot aboard. a computer an easely make mistakes, if the altimeter or speed meter is broken or the altimeter isn't set correctly, the plane coult easely crash. a pilot can prevent that becouse he can see what the plane's doing

[ollo1982]

@teenhakker A computer CAN NOT do anything wrong as long as you dont tell it to do wrong...A computer simply does what you tell it to do.. if it do something wrong,YOU that is behind the computer have set it wrong... there are so many backup systems on a plane,that if one instrument or computer fails,backup number 1 takes over...

[dabertl2007]

how old is that guy?

[madman2swords]

Whats tommyadey on about - come up and do hammerheads with us and see if the airspeed increases on the downline!

[Sizzonz0r]

im going to lanzarote tonight!! so excited!! gonna be so gr8^^

[hosscollar]

Wow. The pilot was workin' that stick like a cheap hooker.

[Exocisme]

I love classic cockpits !

[subbanda]

looks like way more fun. the new style of flying is too computerized. Soon we'll have just programmers who will be flying the planes and not pilots.

[Exocisme]

We already do have a program, it's called ILS it do land the plane by it self, but in very windy conditions the pilot is taking the controls at about 200ft above the runway, i am a student pilot. And i don't think there will be planes without a pilot in our lifetime (: - Maybe later, but not commercial

[mitgolden76]

UAVs already do exist, and do fly out of our airports today. I know for sure the military uses them, but i'm no expert on that.

[Exocisme]

Yes, but when there is a accident you have to look at it from the plane, not in a box on the ground, you have to see what's happen LIVE and not on a tv screen, the best example for this is the landing on the hudson river.

[themonster75]

I thoght they only used the ILS IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITONS ONLY??

[Exocisme]

No, they use it if there is alot of traffic too. Because then they use the SID so they know the planes are exactly when they need them :)

[lunchbag08]

The ILS or any other precision or non precision approach is used when weather conditions are less than VFR.

[lunchbag08]

@themonster75 not not at all

[lunchbag08]

if the weather conditions were extreme the pilots would not be landing there they would divert.

[Supreme10000]

Hi m8. I was just wondering if you might know what the button is for that he presses with his finger at 0:47. Btw i wanna be a pilot aswell. Maybe you could give me a Jumpseat ride at some time ? ;) Good luck. I hope you are gonna end the studies and have your dreams come true mate!!

[Exocisme]

Either is it the autopilot button or some trim settings :) - But it's the MD-83 and it looks like they disengage the autopilot :) - And thank you :)

[EnkyNakamura]

to disconnect autopilot, usually at minimum decision height 300 feet

[firestarter321]

yea thts never gonna happen....even if the plane is a fkin supercomputer there will always be a pilot on board....computers can never be trusted even if they invent a zeus auto pilot system....

[rudyyoungblood2223]

imagine tht.... ctrl+alt+del whilst flying

[TimeMeddler]

Would have liked to have seen the view out the window of the landing. :(

[luca8121]

where did yuo sit ?? There is no jumpseat on the left side on the CAPT ....?

[ivanraYT]

as you said, there is no seat there....

[luca8121]

Ahahhahaha ! when i was a small boy my dad put me in the same place ! Know we fly together on the MD80 AHAHAAHA

[panictactics]

'Know' we fly together? DUMB F HEAD

[luca8121]

Now!!!

[mjksoccer]

how u fly together ?

[Navahoagm63]

@ivanraYT lol

[stozza4eva]

dont you even see the pilot is flying a plane with only 1 HAND!!!!!!!! on the controls

[spitfir3ace]

the other hand's on the throttle levers :p

[delherete]

all pilots do, its a procedure.

[Tommyadey]

yh true,that because power(throttle) contols the rate of descentin general(altitude),while control column controls airspeed,during final throttle is more like a flight control itself.

[relativeair]

i dont understand??? control column controls airspeed???? thrust levers control that! and control column controls rate of ascent and descent!

[Tommyadey]

yh when landing throttlle controls the rate of descent because if u increase power the aircraft pitches up and vice versa,and for control colunm when apply forward pressure the nose of the aircraft pitches down and the airspeed reduces nd vice versa,that y u see pilots pitching down during final,its all part of the landing configuration,when in the air after takeoff the control colunm of course controls altitude but in landing using the colunm for can cause stalling of the aircraft.

[rmetal]

Don't speak if you don't know what you're talking about...

[Tommyadey]

yh,so wat do u think,since u know so much.

[relativeair]

your trying to sound like you know your shit! you are talking out your ass! you stated when forward pressure is applied on control column, airspeed reduces? how can it when the plane is descending you idiot? thrust is reduced to reduce airspeed and vice versa and the reason the thrust is used on final is to maintain the desired landing speed to suit the current atmospheric conditions and the current state of the aircraft! man i can tell you don't know fuck all so i think im wasting my time!

[Tommyadey]

did i sorry that was a mistake,anyway well i fly and thats wat i av been doing,if u r thnking i wud be arguing and cursing with u sorry mate i dont hav time for that anyway see ya.

[rmetal]

Fly what? How could you even pass your private with such a poor understanding of theory like that.

[panictactics]

Baaahahahaha! Tommyadey, you're a fuckin' tool!

[flyingv747]

Pitch (control column) for airspeed and power (thrust) for rate of descent for all flight manoueuvres including landing.

But during ILS landings Pitch is used for rate of descent and power is used for airspeed. (try this on simultor and you will know what I mean)

[relativeair]

come on man i know what im talking about! obviously if you increase thrust, the wings are creating more lift due to the increased airspeed, therefore require less A of A! but it is not totally the thrust that is controlling the ascent and decent! the other guy had no idea what he was talking about that was why i was correcting him....anyway!

[flyingv747]

Yes, I just noticed that you were correcting the other guy. Thanks :)

[YYZZZYYY]

Having that mentality is unsafe for someone who is in the cockpit. If your part of a flight crew one day which uses CRM (crew resource management) you can't always say i'm right to the person next to you, part of CRM is getting the opinion of the person next to you. So don't single the guy out for saying you don't shoot an ILS approach using VSI as pitch because he is infact right. The VSI is your primary pitch instrument for an ILS approach, not your airspeed.

[relativeair]

you obviously misinterpreted what i was saying! i cant be bothered explaining this to you mate, i in fact am a pilot and fly myself in a 208 caravan so i have no need to be explaining facts to others that can't understand!

[YYZZZYYY]

So as a pilot you would know that your primary pitch instrument for an ILS approach would be your VSI.

[relativeair]

obviously, however that was not the direct point i was arguing!  you can't tell me thrust has nothing to do with a climb or descent! its obvious, even a three year old would know that!

[YYZZZYYY]

Yes, of course thats true

[nadvad22]

just got bak from lanzarote its mint

[aerialpic]

Might as well of been shot in a sim. No view of the outside.

[delherete]

no0b

[TWA717]

Yep, an MD-80...

[Sterlingjob]

Also goes to show the pilot flying with one hand on yoke and other on throttles! Airbus anyone?!

[mgardiner2725]

Well any aircraft really. The pilot flying on landing will always have one hand on the yoke, and the other controlling the throttles.

[SuperAbram]

yea for real, in flight school my instructor would always pull the throttel out on me if we where landing or taking off if i took my hand off the throttel, scary shit :)

[skyyguyy]

Airbus cockpits are equipped with control-sticks.

If this video was shot in an Airbus, you wouldn't see the pilot's left hand. The stick located to the left of the captain's left thigh.

[Sterlingjob]

Really? I didnt know that, i only work on them for a living.....

[lmpsp]

thanks for posting this video

[andytsai0131]

that's so interesting!:)

[luto16]

bu ne ya anlamadım

[pilot696]

Its an Iberia or Air Comet MD-8X ,they speak spanish

[ivanraYT]

Swifair charter

[fs9gucal]

that is a sas md.8x right?

[fs9gucal]

that is a sas md.8x right?

[suekar]

The sound is a warning for approaching the deceison height.

When this sound is over you normaly hear a peep or an automatic callout "minimums".

This is a signal for the pilot to make a deceison for landing or going around.

This is given bei the GPWS (ground proximity warning system"

[tallyhoviper]

Toy gun, lol, i think auto pilot off..

[olsonr]

what is the noise at 0:50?

post back if you can...

[DanielMC75]

Is the sound of AutoPilot disconnecting

[75sevenA330]

A/T

[75sevenA330]

No wait it is the crazy sound from MD when you are getting close to MINIs

[HernanyModesto]

How can it be the auto pilot disconnrctin if he is controllin the plane with the yoke!!???

[duranelton]

lol!

[75sevenA330]

No wait it is the crazy sound from MD when you are getting close to MINIs

[ivanraYT]

below minimun alarm

[Str8KOS]

wierd sound, I'd have said AP disconnect, used to the 'Minimums!' announcement tho

[pspfanboy100]

i think it was the radio

[germanlanzarote]

que estilazo tiene el comandante,jeje,veterano y muy serio...su profesion es mi sueño imposible...

[wigram]

Give me an older Captain anyday! I don't like it when there are 2 young guys in command.

[danefox82]

wigram, I'd say sometimes it might be better to have a young guy up front, most likely to follow SOP's to the letter and everything still fresh in their mind, and very eager to do well.

[Brento9]

Who says an 80 YO can fly!

[ivanraYT]

Of course Capt is not 80 YO, What i see is a more than 40.000 hours experiece pilot.

On this cas I say, Ignorance's mother is insolence

[JRP1977]

Was a light hearted joke guys....

[sjwallace9]

Not much wrong with that. The other hand will be on the thrust levers.

And jrp1977, you can always walk or take the boat to LZR.

[JRP1977]

good god...was he pissed? makes me think I could fly a blooming plane!! Just wiggle the steering wheel about and hope fort he best...madness!! But at least they landed safely...

[Vanhallo]

I don't know you but based upon your comment I'd say you couldn't fly a plane (only the ones not familiar with aviation would give such a foolish answer). The reason the captain is struggling with the controls is because of the wind.

[rave747]

it`s windy thats why the capt. is struggling.

[jay4398]

must be spanair?

[submarinis]

Muy weno el video0.

[bmused55]

Slick landing :)

[condaly]

One handed! Respect!

[ivanraYT]

The other hand, is over trust controls.

[condaly]

I was Joking.

[teedot]

lol you would be frowned upon by instructors and other pilots if you didnt have that second hand free for the other controls :P

[cheluprimo]

Muy buen video, si señor. El comandante aterrizando el avion. Primero, eso no es lo normal. Lo normal es que aterrize el copiloto. Pero es que hace un viento de co...nes. Interesante la lucha del comandante con los mandos. Parece que este pilotando una Cessna como yo. JEJE.

[toritogatito]

normalmente se reparen los turnos. El vuelo de ida el comandante y la vuelta el copi. Mas que nada para no perder la mano al aparato. Un saludete.

[CapIto]

_Tal como te lo puse en el otro video del MD80.... Excelente video!

Salu2 from México!
