Crosswind landings at Dublin Airport 3

[luilory]

Which is the last MD-80?

[50dsof]

I notice the upload date is 26/05/08- Did you film it the day before by any chance? I flew in on 25/05 on that runway heading, and it was a very interesting approach I have to say!

[eradiacal]

what happened to the last one, with the cross-wind take off?

[mythicalireland]

@eradiacal Don't know but it was quite bizarre.

[Aviationnation10]

@eradiacal just as you said your self crosswind...

[daletheguvnor]

i've had a few landings like that at dublin over the years........ brown pants....

[saddlebackdude123]

atr's look like a bitch to land.

[Cliffs12345]

i sure wouldnt wanna be on that arann plane that looked like it was rough

[ALGWAD971]

Don't mess with mum nature.. Good Lord, that was something else!

[oakld]

I once landed in Dublin in a storm - it was like in catastrophic movie... Engines quite then roaring, the plane was shaking, rocking, dropping,... Well we made it, but we were the last plane to touch down. They closed the airport. The ground stuff couldn't get our luggages for an hour or more, they broadcasted it's too dangerous to go out and retrive it from the plane(s). Next day, a good chunk of Ireland was without electricity...

[mossiemoopers]

@oakld How long ago was this?

[oakld]

@mossiemoopers

Hi, It was after New Year, I guess 2007 (or 2006 or 2008)

[Ben123planes]

1:45 was that birdstrike?

[pre3dfs]

Why does a leprikorn wear two condoms when he's filming planes? To be sure to be sure

[gustavo87467357]

what a wonderful winds!!

[VirtualPilot13]

They don't actually need to follow the runway heading if that's not part of the instrument departure-procedure they're flying. In the situation as which was in your video I'm sure that the pilots were aware of that slight turn they commenced there.

[Locker10a]

Cant wait to see the Aer Lingus ATR's !

[ADAM6145]

at the aer lingus landing at 1.98 what are the flap things sticking out of the engines????? nice vid

[mythicalireland]

Reverse thrust! Helps the plane to slow down on the runway. Basically the flaps allow the thrust from the engine to emerge towards the front instead of behind, therefore slowing the plane.

[ADAM6145]

I Know im not tick

[tombobadillo]

Then why did you ask?

[ADAM6145]

that was somethin else

[Locker10a]

@ADAM6145 ya ! sure !!!!!!!

[flyzapva]

@mythicalireland Also producing lift so therefore the plane won't thump. Unless it's in DUB!

[ManxyBoy1]

god look at the Aer Arann atr 72

[ryanair737400]

whar airline was the md-80???

[POLLOrush]

i think it`s private.

[ManxyBoy1]

no its an aer arann its not private ive travelled with them 8 times

[disneyfreak65]

Poor little Aer Arann with its propellers :( The wind didnt want it on the runway haha. It had a hard time getting a touch to the pavement

[Ben123planes]

0:57

Landies and Gentlemen, as you are now painfully aware, we are no at Dublin, please keep your seatbelts fastened as Captain Kangaroo speeds us to your gate, once the seatbelt sign is off and the tyre smoke is cleared, you make pick your way through what's left of the plane to the terminal, Thank you for flying with us.

[dukeofstradone]

aer arann pilots are a joke

[don11hur]

nah man its just the atr is shit to fly with a cross wind.high wing etc.. theyre act pretty good pilots :D

[KairalaFC]

ATR's are not very keen to handle in windy conditions

[greengoblin200]

ryanair pilots seem to always come in too fast... :/

[TheIrishRanter]

They ain't messing when they say it's what pilots get paid for!

If I was me I wouldn't sit in the seat that I vacated after one of these landings ... if you know what I mean :p

Great video!

[mythicalireland]

Yes, I'd say there were a few dirty seats when they'd finished !!! LOL

[XxXDELTAxFOXTROTXxX]

ATR pilots need more training.

[Priest945]

ATR?

[XxXDELTAxFOXTROTXxX]

ATR is a plane.

[hill1669]

would not have like to have being on that Iberia flight.

[accxer]

nice video, watch that bird on 1:45-1:50 looks like plains turbine got him

[Ben123planes]

no, I think it went under the wing, but the turbulant air underneath the wing blew it off course a bit.

[QuiteSpyrtY]

nice video, keep on uploading that kinda interesting videos :) i watched all 3 parts

[mythicalireland]

Thanks very much, will do !

[Ben123planes]

0:55 ladies and gentle men plese keep your seatbelts fastened as captain kangaroo bounces you to the terminal.

[mythicalireland]

Brilliant, brilliant, LMFAO. Funniest comment I've read in ages. Captain Kangaroo!!

[scouseflyer]

I used to love saying that over the PA on the aircraft lol.

[shaneoconnor123]

i love watching the ATR its so funny. Great video Anthony

[mythicalireland]

Yes, it was a wheelbarrow job. I imagine the crew had to clean their seats after they left the cockpit !

[Squared2Productions]

Well when takeoff clearance is granted on a crosswind runway, usually the controller advises to turn into wind (they give a heading).

[ronald73blue]

ww certainly some good action happening in ireland you guys over there have a huge variety of airlines to choose from in australia our main airlines are mostly Qantas Jetstar Virgin Blue and tiger airways so not much to choose from there im so jealous!

[mythicalireland]

Yes it's great here but some airlines have disappeared to, such as EirJet and Futura Gael. Plenty of action and variety left though!

[pilotanthony]

but runway heading? :S

[Locker10a]

Brilliant please make more !

[mythicalireland]

Thanks, I'll do my best!

[jazzyjeff19]

I was a ryanair flight that landed in the same way that the first flight in this one landed. Ryanair flights, in my experience, always have fairly bumpy landings!

[mythicalireland]

You'll probably find that's not really true, or fair. I had two landings last week with Ryanair, both of which were fine.

[draoi99]

I flew Aer Arann from Luton to Galway two weeks ago. Very enjoyable flight on an ATR-72. Landing was very smooth, we were down before I even realised it, no bump at all.

[crazymxrider]

Those small thingys at the end of the wings, those are stabilizers right? If yes, why doesn't all planes use them? If no - ignore last q :)

[mythicalireland]

There is the horizontal stablizier PLUS the elevators. The stabilizer is usually moved using a trim mechanism in the cockpit. It it set before take-off and only usually manually adjusted after take-off and coming in to land. The elevator is what forces the nose of the plane up and down and is controlled by the forward and backward movement of the yoke or the sidestick.

[don11hur]

i think your talking about the winglets is it? the winglets are there to reduce the drag that is formed by vortices that are created when the aircraft creates lift this increases fuel efficiency which means more money for the airline! :P  also they look pretty cool! ha! theyre not really there to stabilize the plane ;)

[evilsmiley123]

prop bouce at 1:04

[mythicalireland]

Indeed. Say the passengers were glad to get off that plane !

[18daryus]

Soo nice

[JackDooner]

god that aer arann is desprite at landing lol id hate to be on it lol

[carlonwheels]

Arann is a cargo plane I think, I think the only people on it are the pilots

[liklik4]

its not it flys to airports all over the ireland and the uk even some in france its based in galway and flys to the aran islands for free

[carlonwheels]

No you have to pay to go to the Arann Islands!

[liklik4]

realy from clonimara it was free for my gran

[carlonwheels]

Well, I was in Galway from last Monday to Wedensday, and I went a bit north of Galway to a small Aer Arann hanger, and I had to pay to go to Inish Mor.

[don11hur]

i think older ppl go for free

[worldwarfighter92]

Looks Like On Windy Days Aer Arann Are Oferring A Flight And Roller Coster Ride All Together

[mythicalireland]

Hee hee hee, don't you know it's so true! :D

[bananamanuk]

a cool video indeed, nicely done. Dublin is a windy airport, planes always seem to have a very fast approach in, certainly appears that way compared to other places i've been to. As for the ATR, I bet it looks worse from the outside in, a bit bumpy of course, but they really kiss the tarmac because they are a lighter airframe. I've been on some FR flights that thud to the ground - in fact my last flight back to STN did just that!

[mythicalireland]

Windier at times, but not faster. Planes such as the 737 always add 5 knots to their final approach speed for wind, regardless. These planes are landing at the same speed they would anywhere else. Final speed is dependent on weight more than any other factor.

[uploader1010]

lol @ that ATR, good vid

[xJaMeSxdAxdKx]

the ryanair and aer lingus's coped very well but the iberian and aer arann were desperate

[mythicalireland]

I'd hate to have been a passenger on the Aer Arann!

[xJaMeSxdAxdKx]

wouldn't go anywhere near one of those atr's if my life depended on it

[mythicalireland]

Ah they're not that bad, but they do wobble about in the wind alright.

[Iamfukenripped]

yer rather go on an ATR than a dash 8 in my opiniion.

[Locker10a]

i flew in one last Dec and was expecting the worst! but infact they are quite powerful to my surprise and are very jetlike when your sitting inside them ! we had a firm landing like a jet that i wasent expecting and since then i love those planes !

[samrammstein13]

Were there any go-arounds that day?

[mythicalireland]

Not while I was there, no. Surprisingly enough!

[jackd166]

Graet crosswind videos!

What video camera or whatever do you use?

[mythicalireland]

Thank you. It's the Canon XL1s. They used to be used by TV companies and professional video makers but there is better technology available now. The XL series is still popular though.

[JamesLiveProductions]

Definetly not runway heading!

[rodgerjohnson]

psh ive done 24 knot DIRECT crosswind in a C172, real life.

[JamesLiveProductions]

O you're great!

[mythicalireland]

I'd say the aircraft was doing a lot of floating!

[rodgerjohnson]

Haha yeh it was

[don11hur]

no crosswind limit in a 172 no? :P :P

[tisom2]

Nice vids with wind fer shure! The Arann had me hanging on to my seat!

[Locker10a]

Hey mythicalireland i love ur videos at Dublin Airport !!

Please make more soon thers brill!!!

[JCRailAirProduction]

very impressive pilots, never failing there jobs. must be pretty tough though for them.

nice vid btw, thx. *****

[matttuck5]

aww i felt sorry for the ppor little atr72 the gusts wudnt let the thing land lol.. great vid . thanks

[ddevlin721721]

the ryanair handled it very wel

[ddevlin721721]

talented pilots

[Sulllie]

Loved the vid. Iberia was the best. Keep them coming!

[MitchelHighFlight]

airplanes having a hard time... love it!!!

Really nice video!!!:P:P

[nuggetclv1992]

i think the dept. , maybe because of the wx, was given d-> LIFFY, which is one of the main departures.

[FPVsean]

HAHAHAHA! look at the little aer-arann! jesus, that thing'll never land!!! hahaha

[jemmarocks2006]

thanx 4 clearin dat yp about the runways :)

i think ive only ever landed from the direction of the sea - we always seem to go over the sea and pretty much straight in (well it is much faster when you're up there!)

that much be a bit tricky for the pilots having to go over the sea into ireland and all the way round for the different direction...or do they just go into ireland a different way do u know?

[mythicalireland]

The most commonly used runway at Dublin is 28, which takes traffic in from the sea near Howth. During the summer, there tends to be a coastal breeze from the east, so 10 is often in use during the summer. During very strong southerly winds, runway 16 is used. That runs down from roughly north to south, joining runway 28 at the end. It's not trick to use RWY10, it just takes longer if you're coming in from Britain or the continent.

[jemmarocks2006]

is this a different runway to your previous vids? sorry only know dublin to fly into! but the crosswinds r always fun to watch

thanks v much 4 the vids keep em comin wish i lived in dublin :(

[mythicalireland]

It's basically the same runway, except they're landing from the opposite end. It depends on the winds. When the winds are from the west, they land from the east and it's runway 28. When the winds are from the east, they land from the west and it's called Runway 10. Runway numbers are determined by heading. Runway 28 has a course of 282 degrees. Runway 10 has a course of 102 degress. Hope this helps.

[Kevinegan21]

nice one anthony .. have to say the boeing are that bit better in the wind .

[mythicalireland]

Yes, but generally I find the Aer Lingus pilots are smoother and calmer under pressure. The Ryanair landings can be very bouncy.

[neoncircles]

well done anthony =3

[AERTANK]

Very enjoyable Anthony, once again thanks for sharing them!

[mythicalireland]

The MD80 at the end finally corrected back right to runway heading after I stopped filming.
