United Boeing 757 landing - Washington, D.C. area

[RF15T1]

Boy, it seemed to me like he used every inch of the runway there!

[grassroot3]

@SkyWestCRJPilot that's what I am looking for, flap sounds on the 7-5 are the best

[Jetbluerox09]

what seat are you in?

i might be taking a united 757 from ORD to IAD in June and I want a window seat behind the wing but I don't know what row number to choose....

[heelswinagain]

4:20, couldnt have picked a better time to land

[CL747]

iranair got a video of a landing plane in washington..... crazy....

[777BACAPTAIN]

Great! lovely touchdown.

Love the 757. 777 beats it that little bit though. Not that I have ever flown the B757. haha

[aviationwingnut]

I really pity the poor person(s) who had to be in the same row with shrieking baby. That kinda thing really gets on my nerves. I went through it having a daughter of my own but, those days are far behind me.

[the2belo]

"Thank you for flying Shrieking Baby Airlines". I like how the kid immediately shut up when they turned the thrust reversers on.

[nyyankees10389]

that was one of the smoothest landings ive ever seen in a 757. he overshot his point by about half a mile though lol

[CRsBeem]

Well, he's got 11,000 feet+ to work with, so he can be excused! Dulles is a great airport for pilots; not quite so great for passengers!

[issueagent]

United Breaks Guitars

[adamski895RS]

[Pedrito2513]

Does United and US Airways are the same. Cuz' I buy a ticket for US Airways and in the internet it saids "Operated by United Airlines"'?

[uarulezzzzzz]

[Pedrito2513]

[maza95]

[alesonline92]

All American airlines are good for flying to Washington.

greetings

aleS

[maza95]

well, its kinda tricky, cuz we are leaving from EFHK (Helsinki, Finland) so, if you know anything it would be nice.

[goingtobeapilot]

My favorit is continental, but I'm not sure if they fly to washington, do you mean Washington or D.C.?

[maza95]

D.C., we are maby gonna do it like; EFHK to TPA (for a weekend or so) then chillin' a few weeks and head off to D.C. where we would be flyin to L.A. and back to EFHK

[goingtobeapilot]

Sounds like a pritty cool vacation!

[ASSHOLESHITBITCXH]

try lufthansa ( you would have to take 2 planes ) and go tu munich - they use airbuses from munich most of the time. if you dont want to use lufthansa, try finnair - if it flyes there.

[SlipknotDJ]

wow that landing is kinda weird cuz he didnt use the flaps at low altitudes and didnt fully deploy them

[apodino]

They looked fully deployed to me. I do believe that the 757 can make a flaps 20 landing under normal conditions, which might have been what that was. As for not fully deploying flaps, Potomac Tracon often has flights maintain fast speeds until right on the approach in IAD, this may have been the case here.

[SlipknotDJ]

lol yeah they were i said the comment in the middle of the vid

[CRsBeem]

Surely looked like full down to me. But I did have a "without delay" landing once ahead of a DC-10. Thought I was going to get sucked right back into its P&Ws!

[Cessnapilot03]

That is the greatest Airline ever!!!

[pega57]

pretty fast landing!

[Gidien2000]

OMFG, someone kill the kid

[aaroncar]

Nice Video! GO BOEING! Love those 757s

[gplpark92]

Nice shot of the potomac at about 00:30

[speeds060]

great video, i don't appreciate the baby in the background screaming and crying, jeez i hate those type of flights. sorry if it is your child screaming, but, i just hate those flights...

[travelsonic]

That is bad.

I was once flying Business class on American, JFK - LAX, and had a kid screaming behind me for all 6 hours of the flight. ~_~

[speeds060]

wow. that really sucks.... and that is where you wish you had a parachute so you could jump out the plane... haha.

[ohawarrior02]

They Scream Because Of the Pressure in their Ears that cause them pain.... I am a preschool Teacher so I know!

[louie77]

dont have to be a pre-school teaacher to know!=)

[N734LQ]

I hate the parents who talk to their children all flight in a little kid voice.

[rbm7101]

Good video, real crystal clear sound and picture. I love it when they drop thr gear and flaps at the last minute, love that rumbling sound as the plane gets dirty. I fly as a passenger in and out of Dulles all the time and have made that same approach most of the time. It seeems like they seldom make a straight in approach when I come in, it is usually the circle around approach.
