The pilot surely need a new pair of underwear after that one. Good save.

TOGA!

too much tailwind?

@Axmedkoole I would rather say it is a strong wind shear at the runway coz if u notice at 0:14 something is flying across and I don't think its from the plane's thrust

yikes

Good indication that something is not right about landing?. Nose diving airplane. (245 hrs of flying experience)

@shooooota you're right about that, sorry for laughing. I know the term, too, - just used to it in my own language, so I misread your comment. Guess it is not you, who should read your comments again, but me... Anyway, you still have a typo there ("aspecially"), what probably contributed to my persuasion that the altitude thing was an error, too.

[shooooota]

@ymrich Well i have no flying job but i have my certificates in hand. There has been a little bit of study until this. Low density-altitude (note that density altitude refers to one thing, and the low and the word density is actually separated) is colder air and lower pressure alltitude (higher density). High density altitude is the oposite.

Get yourself a whizz-wheel/flightcomputer and read the window that says density altitude. Now look what happens to that value when modulating temp/alt

[ymrich]

@shooooota: LOL you should read your bits before you post. Not only can there be no "high density altitude" (thats like high density distance :) ,but also at high altitudes air density / pressure (what you probably meant) is not high, but low. (The air is thin).

Those Santa Anas are no joke.

It's a crosswind attempt,

but failed.

oh holy shit
