Landing at DFW on AA Super 80

Landing on 18R, followed by taxi to the Bravo bridge. Taken from seat 24A. It was a strange landing, we were throttling up until we hit the ground (rather roughly). Onboard AA 2334 from AUS

that wasnt that hard of a landing. that right there is normal for a s-80

It was harder than the video shows. I've experienced hundreds of landings on the Super 80, and this one was certainly harder than most. That being said, it was by design. As others have mentioned, the winds were gusting, and they're supposed to set it down firm.

Thanks for watching!

i worked at the airport theyre landing at for 2 years at UPS and IAS..even drove terminal buses. kno every plane sound by heart now lol..yea the MD 80's are the loudest ones out there. more so than the 777, 757, 767, md-11, even the L-1011. Yon can here those things forever

Ha, you worked at Integrated, too? I worked there this summer in AUS. Did the F9 ground handling. Lots of fun!

year pretty much what DVA5656 said. Yall may have been about to stall, so the pilots added more thrust

[Longhornmaniac8]

As said previously, I'd expect that it was due to some winds, rather than a "near stall." But who knows?

im gonna be a pilot:)

I didn't see anything wrong with this landing to be honest, good approach and a solid touchdown. MD-80 being as long as it is makes it look like it is going at a downward angle more than it is. He touched down after the piano keys so was just fine. Looked like he was battleing a lot of winds but all in all your still alive, a good landing is one you can still walk away from.

I have taken the MD-90 s about 10 times and all i can say : everytime before tochdown it makes me say hurraaaaaaay!!!!! we r falling down yeaeaeaeaeah!!! XDDD

[camcamepictv]

The MD-80s flaps are VERY strong due to the airplanes very small wings. Its normal to have power even for a landing and the MD-80 loves to rattle and shake on takeoff and landing. For a Super80 great landing!
