Landing at Changi Airport on this Singapore Airlines B777-300ER (9V-SWB) at 12pm. You can clearly see the aircraft pitching its nose down as flaps were further extended at 3:19, to compensate for the increase in lift in the wings and perhaps to intercept the glideslope at the same time. We were assigned to land on 02L so during the final approach you can get a good bird's-eye view of the South-east side of Singapore, which includes Marine Parade, Bedok, Simei, as well as Changi Business Park! Probably one of the smoothest landings I've ever had!

This video was filmed from seat 38A.

  • i didn't know pilot can deploys spoilers in mid-air, don't it disturb air flow on the wing and kill the lift and cause stall?

  • @energycondensed That's the whole point of it. The pilots deployed spoilers to slow down the aircraft as well as to make it descend faster to put the aircraft on the right descent path.

  • Where from?

  • Hong Kong.

  • What camera did you use?

  • Hi, this is filmed with a Samsung HMX-U10. ;)

  • Actually when airborne, it's called Speed Brakes, on ground, it's caled Ground spoilers and those work also together with flight controls to optimize the control of the aircraft at low speeds

  • bit rough lol

  • that flaps sure is extended fully..

  • @energycondensed most of the small movement the wing is making on this approach is automatically done by the plane

  • Fairly good vid...but crappy sound.

  • @greatflyer96 The pilots use the spoiler in air to reduce the speed.

  • SQ1?

  • like 777

  • And really smooth landing
