This is a recorded flight from take off to landing. The take off takes place at Norway's biggest airport; Gardermoen International Airport. Just outside the capital, Oslo. The plane is a TAP Portugal Airbus A320-200. In the start, the camera is recording from seat 21F from runway 01L at Oslo Airport.
Note: It was very hard to focus through the window, because of all the raindrops outside the window. So I couldn't zoom completely out before we was airbourne. Therefore the acceleration at the runway is recorded with a slight zoom, so I focused on the outside instead of on the raindrops on the window.
The take off was very steep (4000 feet per minute) and we was in the clouds after just a couple of seconds in the air. After some minutes, we where over the clouds, and set our course towards Lisbon International Airport, which was our final destination. This aircraft is acctually a bit rare, because it was painted in Star Alliance colors. TAP got 20 A320 in it's fleet, but only one A320 with Star Alliance colors.
We flew a pretty direct route all the way to southern Norway, out in the ocean and over England and London, over western France ( Normandie ) and over Northern Spain before we crossed the border and flew into Portugal.
Our flight number was TP507, cruise altitude was 36.000 feet and we had a cruise speed of 480 knots. We was about 20 minutes late, but we had a fair tailwind, so our ground speed was between 880 and 1100 kilometers per hour. The flight was planned to take 4 hours and 10 minutes, but did only last in 3 and a half hour. When we was on our final approach to land in the Portuguese capital Lisbon, some serious wind kicked in, and it was a very bumpy ride all the way to touchdown. Some of the turns was over 30 degrees, and we jumped up and down all the way. It was a really turbulent approach with a lot of turbulence. When we was about to touch down at runway 03 the left main gear dropped down and hit the ground first. The pilot tried to straighten the plane back up and slammed the right main gear into the asphalt. Just after the first impacts the nose wheel slammed into the ground as well. It was a really rough crosswind landing. All the three impacts was very rough. The braking was really powerfull ass well before we turned out onto one of the taxi ways. You can hear screams in the cabin during the approach and landing.
Please Enjoy

  • it is at 8:25 untill 8:30 at the wing something goes up ?? do you know what that is ?

  • @girlattack08 Oh, that is called Spoilers or Airbrakes and is a normal thing to use when they're braking the plane down when after touchdown.

  • what happend with the wing something popped out of it??

    was it because of the rough landing?

  • @girlattack08 I didn't see anything popping out? :-S

  • Is it scary to be in a plane?

    I mean, I want so very bad to Japan...

    But I'm scared to fly with a plane T.T

    Can you pleas tell me how it is in a plane? Pleas!!!

  • @kagome123654 Personaly, I can't be in a better place than a plane, I love it. And if you didn't know it, to fly is the safest way to travel, infact, it's many many times more likely to crash in a car than in a plane. If you very badly want to go to japan, go to japan! Even with this kind of winds as in this video (very unlikely) it is actually more fun than scary. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking

see all

  • @kagome123654 There is nothing better than flying

  • Clapping = cringe

  • Respond to this video...  and y was the wings like fully up near landing

  • @Larsnero14 speed brakes

    and the things that go down are called flaps used to slow the aircraft down

  • ears popping cant stand it

  • @Larsnero14 He ment the ailrons/speedbrakes

  • @girlattack08 They're also used for slowing down the aircraft during approach, but the main use is stopping the plane ...

  • TAP PORTUGAL Did you know that TAP was considered the 4th safest airline in the world? TAP is 4th in the annual ranking provided by Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Center, which analysed the 60 greatest airlines of the world. :)

  • @Larsnero14
