DC-9 BOUNCES ON THE RUNWAY [HD Aviation Video]

[lelemdronik]

who knows why it bounced it up upon touchdown? The reason?

[planegaper]

looks like my cat trying to put her back feet in the water

[andrewfrazee]

HAHA holy beans, he caught major air!!

[henrycastillo]

why did it bounce? was it because it was coming down too fast?

[andrewfrazee]

@henrycastillo looks like he had some speed so when he was flaring, looks like it created enough lift to fly again, for another 2 seconds :)

[henrycastillo]

@andrewfrazee Thanks for the info, is so nice of you.

[PiPoohStaar]

wow nice!

[wdwron08]

That happend to me when I flew on a Southwest Boeing 737-700 from Columbus (CMH) to Chicago-Midway in 2005 we bounced twice before the Pilot activated the Thrust Reversers while the nose gear was still off the Ground but we landed safely. Must have been the head winds that day

[GoPensGo377]

sometimes i lay on my bed thinking im a carrot

[yankscatch]

At least he has an excuse: He drank too much coffee before the flight

[jslat111]

Wow, that is embarrassing, lol

[apoure25]

It's because of the rubber bands and duct tape holding the 40 year old flight controls together.

[MrTornadoman97]

Love to see how the passengers reacted :P

[AirbusGuy1207]

Windy... I hate crosswinds.

[mmichaeldonavon]

Nothing out of the unusual!

[willettgarrett2]

I hate when I'm on flight simulator x and that happens!

[cabrame]

Mo bounce to Da ounce.

[cgrazko]

HA whoopsie daisy

[Swissflier101]

2 for 1 landing!

bouncy bouncy lol nice video

[jdcpilot]

I have thousands of hours in the DC9 fleet including that same plane when it was operated by NC/RC and NW. What happened, the AGS, Auto Ground Spoilers did not deploy for whatever reason, wet runway, system problem or not armed. They are normally activated by main gear wheel spin up. The AGS are used to kill lift of the wing upon on touch down. The -50 skipped, not bounce.

[MrMadlion24]

nice suspensions on that plane

[moonrunnerlawl]

That was an amazing recovery

[santicapo10]

that happened cause he flared too early, so he lost speed, and then had to flare even more, so he lost even more speed.. voila

this would happen to me a lot when i was practicing 737 landings in FSX, the only solution is to land faster and flare a bit less so it doesnt drop.

[jonahair747]

She floated there for a while, she didn't have a lot of room to slow down. The parking structure is right by the end of the runway which is where (Cessna154) filmed off of, which means if he pointed his camera off to the left just a little bit more, the runway ends right there. DC-9's stop fast never underestimate them.

[Anguilla2001]

not the best bird to land in the first place

[jejin11]

was that a normal landing procedure?

[9753241860hb]

Pilots on the 767 were probably like LOL!

[mzladyheat]

dats called landing and take off in 2 seconds

[howardflight09]

LOLOLOLOOLOOLOL

OVERSPEED

[wdwron08]

I ment Gutsy soory for the Typo

[wdwron08]

Wow a very Gitsy landing but i saw many jetliners do that

[greasemonkey981]

Padding the logbook again captain? Okay fine, I'll give you 2 landings, 1 full-stop. You owe me tomorrow.

[theflyingjackass1522]

and tht is why u do not let cats fly aircraft

[C4FishingTeam]

In Soviet Russia this dosent happen period

[furiocity202]

passenger to pilot " did we land or were we shot down'?!

[Aero1000able]

I've once experienced a very hard landing before during heavy rains on final approach, we're flying on a Q400 and it felt like the last day of my life...

[68rapes556]

@balamut505 their hair?



[ijzerkoekie]

Meh, see landings like that all the time at smf.

[jmart680]

Stupid slant eyes cunt!

[F110GE129VIPER]

Very nice recovery.

[sdrawkcab96]

It wasn't that bad?

[bljkhaikal]

wonder how the passengers inside felt.......

[Evnted]

In his logbook-

1st landing-on time.

2nd landing-record setting early.

[WillFlyfourFood]

He is still practicing his landings haha

[guitarb3ast7x]

What's so amazing..I thought these were pretty common.......

[rockymountainrandom]

I love the DC-9...what a rough landing though! The plane almost looked as if it were scared...

[SlobusNS]

Ain't a good landing without a good bounce :)

[EHYR1997]

woof woof woof

[mitsumi9941]

My dad flies for delta and says this has to do with the air or something but they got to study this stuff like all the time

[dantheman167]

he appears to be coming in too fast with a bad nose angle. seems like an inexperienced pilot.

[TheBgrchan]

@dantheman167

lol there is NO way you can verify anything that you just said...you sir, are a retard

[BPwhistleblower]

Everyone is all of a sudden an expert on the internet, but a tool in real life.

[newsnetuk]

Two landings for the price of one ....what's to complain about?

[NADOSKATEBOARD]

how much are they paying the pilots these days?

[TheFeverything]

i had the same in a klm fokker 70, i think mine was even worse...

[cfi2927087]

Probably an FO on IOE. He was kinda hunting for the runway. Passengers can feel that unfortunately.

[dredloc121]

I'm a pilot...I don't get the big deal??

[YagoRj357]

@dredloc121 So tell me what went wrong... Was that crosswind? Pilot didn't flare the necessary? too fast?

I don't know...

[dredloc121]

@YagoRj357 It look's like he came in a bit hot...It didn't look like any crosswind. But the passengers most likely wouldn't of noticed much. It just wasn't that unusual of a landing.

[YagoRj357]

@dredloc121 Yes.. not a bad landing actually

[newsnetuk]

Hmmm- Not too bad a landing. Perhaps the pilot was just a bit late deploying the speed brakes to destroy the airflow over the wings - but he had it all under control by the half way marker. .

[uofmiamifan]

Will he count that as 1 or 2 landings in the logbook?

[AnInsecureZebra]

@uofmiamifan I say, 2.

[Rubes2525]

I'd give that landing an 8, on the Richter scale.

[hd5770Gamer]

@Rubes2525 HAHA xD lol made my day bro

[AirlinePilotStuart]

Saw this on the homepage,

Nice video Cessna.

[tukcdohman]

Some of you question this pilot's skills. Whether it was external factors or the pilot wasn't at his or her best it still landed safely and the passengers were on their merry way.

[micahmx85]

dc-9 or md80??? im confused

[Supershanker123]

Pilot: Watch I'm gonna grease this shit!

Co-Pilot: YOU CRAZY!

*Plane Bounces*

Pilot: Hows that for a greased landing?

Co-Pilot: *sigh*

[fryanventu]

Question for a pilot: was that bounce caused by an unexperienced pilot, or maybe the ground effect or the wind made it bounce?

[tukcdohman]

The pilot had to get the plane on the ground, because of the ground effect. Maybe strong headwind, fast approach, or a combination of the two caused the plane to lift after first touchdown. As a pilot you have to learn to be aggressive with the controls when landing, especially during strong winds

[fryanventu]

@tukcdohman thnx tukcdohman!

[geekpeptalk]

@betsiej I do too. However I hold a Private Pilot Certificate as well as a instrument rating. I am now in the process of getting my commerical. If you dont call that a pilot, then I dont know what a pilot is to you. No pun intended.

[MrMaster767]

Really cool

[TheDutchWings]

What would the pilot do when his/her 747 or A380 bounced like that? Would they just try to land or go around since those 2 are big planes

[tukcdohman]

@TheDutchWings From my experience, go-arounds are made because the pilot determined the landing conditions aren't safe, whether it's strong winds or the approach is too high. Even if a 747 or A380 bounces it's absolutely necessary to get it on the ground. A go-around would out of the question.

[TheDutchWings]

@tukcdohman Ooh ok, thanks for clearing this up! :)

[jetblueilikeful]

I love the DC-9 i see it Everyday at Providence T. F Green Airport b Airline owner Delta but it is a noise play can you do a Providence Video

[tukcdohman]

Maybe some tail wind caused the pilot to touchdown prematurely. Then when it bounced the first time the pilot pushed the yoke, because the ground effect would keep the plane floating. The second touchdown was harder, causing the plane to bounce a little more.

[harmgb1]

Not such a bad landing.....er, landings.....

Sometimes the plane will skip slightly, then the spoilers come out

and make your second touchdown pretty firm. Doesn't look like that's

what happened here, though, just 2 decent landings for the

price of one, LoL.

[123qwerty]

why is this featured?!?!

[md82aay]

This is just Delta trying to rid their airline of DC9s..... again

[MrWatzuppplz]

Delta sucks !!!!!!!

[Phailurism]

press 7 it sounds like the looney toons sound of someone taking off running

[AciDXRaiN27]

god i hate dc-9's. they are the shittiest planes there are. i have to load them all the time (i work for delta in Atlanta) and they break all the time. and the damn air extensions you have to use to hook up the air. that is the only plane you need the extension for. one of the smaller planes and yet you need a damn extension so you can hook up the air. stupid plane. the need to get rid if them. they're from the damn 60's. get some new planes already lol

[tukcdohman]

@AciDXRaiN27 True. The thing is the planes that are easy to maintain and cost less to operate are the ones that keep flying. And sadly because of the airlines' massive debt it wont be a while before they start to replace old planes like the DC-9.

[AciDXRaiN27]

@tukcdohman theres no way they are in debt. they made a huge profit last year. and i still think it will cost less to get new planes than it will to fix the dc-9's over and over again. i think they are just lazy lol

[UnleashTehNoob]

The pilot on a flight I was on a long time ago (a Continental 757, I think?) did this too... except he bounced about 3 times before landing...

[rezenatore]

press 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 for a stop motion and a safe landing

[95planes]

is it jus me or was there dog barking at end of video 0:40 ?

[UltimateWheelman]

Bounces? More like "a bounce". :P

[beefygreenapples]

you've never seen a pimp put hydraulics in his plane before?

[bestamerica]

'

where is this airport area

[illustriouschin]

i bet that was bad for the tires.

[rideordie650r]

looked like one of my rc landings

[trinimark123abc]

A fat ass was on it

[1yoyo105]

@trinimark123abc If a fat ass was on it it wouldn't have bounced! -.-

[10newsrox]

You get more than u pay for.

U pay for 1 landing and 1 take off.

BUT

you get 1 takeoff and 2 landings.

[chromelleader21]

Doesn't

Ever

Leave

The

Airport

[airminnesota]

thats look like me on a flight simulator. except i bounce five times instead of once...

[175gaara]

BOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCYBOUNCY BOUNCY BooOOOOUING!

[c0string]

And this is why we have simulators... probably the guys IOE

[Cre8Thought41]

Was it a safe landing? Yes. Was it unusual? Of course not. Apparently Jethro here hasn't seen too many landings.

[Nestor1972]

is not as good as I do in my FS9, but still a good landing...

[tukcdohman]

@Nestor1972 Well you have to understand real life landings are much more unpredictable (assuming your not being sarcastic lol)

[Xx11HaloGuy11xX]

Great job on getting featured man! Have you had a featured video before?

[thecoolcamcam]

I wonder what the other pilots where saying wen they saw that

[SunStarAngel145]

it may have bounce but truly it didn't look that harsh. wounder what that would actually feel like if that happened.

[itshammer]

cool videos and channel.I subd

[johnolazabal]

they probably counted that as two landings and charged double

[N8908E]

a little too much airspeed on short final. The plane wasn't quite ready to quit flying.

[prognosis2001]

So when are they going to put the stickers on the back of the plane saying, "How's my flying?" with an Eight hundred number?

[crapper1]

the boeing goes boing boing boing ( i know its a DC plane but its still funny)

would have loved to be on that one

[NoPancakeMixxx]

Cool

[IamtheBurceDickenson]

I know that when maintained properly aircraft can have a very long life but even the youngest of the DC-9s must be about thirty years old. How can they keep them flying for so long. Isn't there a limit? Don't you get to a point where the skin just can't take anymore pressurizations?

[xranger56x]

@IamtheBurceDickenson i believe after 25 years they are supposed to scrap the aircrafts, however the airlines take cuts and keep them flying. hence why u hear of places crashing like once every other week or so >.>

[IamtheBurceDickenson]

@xranger56x It has been years since one of the mainline cariers has had a crash so I don't understand what you are trying to say. 

[HVACarchives]

@xranger56x Airplanes can fly until they reach their cycle limits (E.G. 40,000 flights or 20,000 hours. Short hauls do more cycles than hours). If the airlines want, I think they can do some serious maitenance and make the aircraft operational for longer. In the mid 90s, most Dc-9s were probably around 60-70,000 hours, probably around 70-80K now...

[HVACarchives]

@IamtheBurceDickenson Yes... It is called the cycle/hours limits. DC-9s are 60s jets though... Should last for a few more years... I think the Fokker 50s would be more likely to be retired now, rather than 20 years on, most of them can handle 100,000 cycles (but, that makes them usuable for about 20 years). I think the aircraft can be upgraded, remember Saha Air in Iran still uses 707-320C for its PAX flights

[benmodo]

Commercial Pilots need a raise in pay!

[TheTurbinator]

Death Cruiser.

[nickygrazer]

wow.. that must've been a very gusty day

[dalebfast]

It wasn't that bad. I've been in worse- the plane dropped the last 5 feet or so into Newark, in the dark, in the rain. Everybody said 'Oh!' not quite a yell... :)

[jdale2267]

Tip toe thru the tulips. That doesn't seem like it would have been too upsetting to the passengers though. I love the sound of the DC9's when they "put on their brakes." I would use the term "reverse thruster," but that doesn't seem correct. Do you know anything about mechanisms on the DC9's engines that fold out to slow the plane? I use to live across the street from the runways @ Memphis International and spent hours watching them as a kid.

[jimmyboblikeschicken]

which airport is this at

[moneymoney43]

I love Delta airlines :)

[DeltaAirtran]

Thumbs up!!

[arran601]

ok well i've flown delta many times, they're fine they've improved so much and they are the worlds largest airline so they cant be that bad my dad has over 500000 skymiles with them

[KIBProductionz]

where were you when you captured this? in the watchtower? Can anyone (with permission) go to a place to capture the aircrafts land?

[pocomedy]

how busy is MSP?

[drummerjoshy89]

Well, I guess he was trying too hard to make it a smooth landing for the passengers, which pilots tend to do even against regulation. Then like Cessna154 said pushed on the controls causing the plane to lift slightly off the runway.

Common problem, and a very high quality video Cessna, I enjoyed it.

[mmbaseballlf]

Great  Camera

[all4golf]

@AaronzChannel - Hmm, I know they flew the Dallas Stars into CMH to play the Jackets along with another team in December using a 762 (N767MW) two different times under the name Swiftair with that same paint scheme. That 734 looks to be N802TJ. They may have borrowed it from MLW Air for that trip, don't know.

[Chaoticbravo]

Oh man...How I miss Douglas commercial jets...Since I was like 5 my favorite has always been the DC-10.

[ThePlaneShow]

please answer - how can this video be for educational and instructional ?

[tukcdohman]

@ThePlaneShow Well it can teach what a pilot has to do when the plane bounces. The ground effect would have kept it floating for a few seconds, but he or she did what they had to do: get it on the ground.

[Giselle76502]

That must have been me. (my FSX lands are sometimes like that LOL)

[thehazzer09]

i wounder if they have too pay 2 landing fees??

[Danielkchoi]

I bet our cameraman (You) here could land better but then again everyone makes mistakes.

[megaplanefan]

Rough, good old mad dog though.

[SeanBreen]

I would love to have had a glass of something in my hand  ,,,,,

[computer305]

what makes a soft landing?

[dellave11]

i like to see the same landing but with a B747-400 of Delta

[Caleb4100]

I haven't seen much DC-9's land, but it did look like he was coming in a little fast! GREAT video!

[ICBE300]

and hes a professional pilot

[unclefester420]

I think he needs some landing tips Steve!!! Has he NOT watched your videos?

[Ps3capt]

did you hear about the airbus a380 that clipped the smaller regional jet at the airport?

[TheThomasTT]

God i love DC-9 , but its now quite old plane and rare.But why did it bounce? Was it windy or what?

[Cessna154]

@TheThomasTT I have a feeling that the pilot thought that his flare was a bit too much and pushed down on the controls just as the wheels touched, so the bounce happened.... Also, it was pretty windy so a gust of wind could have caused trouble for the pilot. It was a safe landing.... :)

[TheThomasTT]

@Cessna154 Ok , thanks for helping.Great vid:)

[VPmagal]

@Cessna154 yes exactly! that's the technique (my IPs called it the Boeing flare) used to control the angle and momentum during the flare. you'll notice the pilot make about 3 angle changes, and "push" about a few inches from the first ground contact. You'll get that bounce especially if the spoilers are not deployed on initial wheel spin up (a la B727)

Great video...thanks for posting this, it was a pleasure to watch it.

[trainfreak7745]

@Cessna154 hey do you think you could get an AirTran before they all disappear thanks :)

[sk8drumdie0116]

@Cessna154 Agreed.

[blast616]

@Cessna154 Well if he had pushed down on the controls as the wheels touched that would of prevented the bounce, not caused it. He was probably just a little fast and got a gust before he could apply forward pressure and the plane got airborne again.

[geekpeptalk]

@Cessna154 Being a real pilot myself bounceing is natural when your flare and airspeed dont add up togethor. He probably gave his passengers a scare.

[nomad1545]

@TheThomasTT He sneezed

[Transam941]

@TheThomasTT Simple. He was too fast.

[kickass5]

@TheThomasTT happens to the best of em my friend.

[xxlvl3fmxx]

@TheThomasTT there was probably a lot of head on wind that made it hard to adjust the nose of the plane. and couldnt set down the back of it, there for he bounced

[thestickysoldiers]

@TheThomasTT there is old caricature about the dc-9 and the a320, where the where the dc-9's cockpit is filled with switches and gauges whilst in the a320 there are 2 buttons: up and down

[thestickysoldiers]

nice flaring
