[KLMMD11B747]

very bad landing

sorry but I've seen better landings from SLM.

@KLMMD11B747 Me too. Still, KLM didn't do any better a little earlier that day. There were some strong winds. Search for "KLM MD11 crosswind landing at SMJP".

@FlexyDemon hij vangt gewoon veel te hoog af, en dat kost je een hoop runway (kan gevaarlijk zijn). Dat doet die KLM niet.

[FlexyDemon]

@hermanshermits124124 Hij vangt inderdaad te hoog af maar Johan Adolf Pengel International heeft heeel veel runway dus altijd genoeg ruimte.

This is an A340 not an A330.

[FlexyDemon]

Off course you are right. Sorry for the typo, corrected.

Dammit... that was the longest flare ever... it was just a few percents too much engine power there, but still, managed to put the plane and the people safely on the ground so good job.

@FlexyDemon my dad flew the MD-11 search for MD-11 cockpit video's bonaire lima quito or happy landings. now he's flying 744 but he told me.

with crosswind the MD-11 is the hardest airplane to land. You got a nice MD-11 crosswind video that shows it's not easy.
