Difficult Landings, New Zealand Commercial Aircraft

This is why you pay for the best pilots to be flying the public. Remember that when you complain about ticket prices.

and BTW the Korean 747 did align the Rwy 10 or 20ft too soon,you can see the aircraft gets blown away to the left side and the engine n° 1 cowling almost gets in contact with the Rwy.

@UnDeCiDeDCnR Yes they can,it's a simple matter of aerodynamics. Aircrafts can crab or drift,crab is just rudder input with your feet to get the nose of the aircraft into the crosswind just to keep the correct heading. Drift is simple (hum) obtained by inversing the flight commands,to for ex. loose much airspeed (bad aerodynamics) without loosing altidude. Usually commercial planes do not drift. And IMO,I don't see in this vid aircrafts drifting,only crabbing,it's not the same.

@justanothergreysky LOL seaside airport is/was Kai Tak in Hong Kong,closed now because too dangerous. And that was NOT an airshow,just a regular commercial flight dude...! Useally 747's don't do airshow,very very rare,it's not a Piper Cub and the running costs are a bit higher... Ask John Travolta..!

A lot of these are test flights. They do these crosswind "crab landings" as part of landing gear stress tests, not during regular landings. Several of the planes had obvious markers of test planes (like the one simply tagged "Boeing 777"). Others were part of airshows or stunts, like the 747 landing on the seaside airport.

I never knew planes could drift in the air :o

2:01 The good ole days when you could run onto the airfield to film the landing.
