bloody hell.... didn't realise the pilot had to wrestle like hell with the controls... always asumed he moved them slightly, even in heavy weather.. makes it look a harder job than I'd thought. Respect.
It's common. When your flaps are extended and flying at a lower airspeed it takes a lot more motion to make a little movement, but the idea is to jocky the yoke so as to always create constant pressure on the surfaces for quick adjustments
Not bad weather, just ordinary weather. I loved the 727 as well. Very nice and tough airplane. Too bad is gone from most markets. Nice landing too. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for all the comments, it was not the nicest of days. Kerry is not the longest of runways for a Super 27, all those years struggling to take-off then the tables are turned and the landing performance makes your hair turn grey hehehe
Adrian G. Pop TAM in Bolivia still uses the 727 (at least in late 2012 when I was on one). Inside the cabin I found this plane actually rather quiet, being seated on the second row far away from the engines in the back might explain that.
The pilot's did a great job, interesting to see how many steering corrections where necessary during the approach and landing, sometimes I have to do the same on the transceiver for my modelplanes when landing them in strong wind. I was surprised that this big plane also needs similair corrections as well.
I spent 7 years on the 72 and really enjoyed it. Likely the best jet for a rough approach. It has a high wing loading (somewhere around 140 lbs/sq.ft) and that can bite you but it takes a beating if you stay ahead of it. The only thing I wish it had was more thrust, like the 75 or 76. A quieter cockpit would have been nice too, but a great great ship.
As an aircraft slows, control effectiveness decreases, requiring larger and larger control movements to get the desired effect. That is why it appears he is jockying the yoke around so much. That and the turbulance from the bad weather. You should see how much I have to move the yoke in my C 182 during approach in turbulance, it looks like a fight in the cockpit.
+scdevon Sorry for the late reply, since your post is over a year ago....just saw the video and read the comments. Why do you say lots of crosswind. What I heard the controller say was 27 degrees at 23 knots [ 1:37 ] so considering the plane is landing at Kerry's runway 26, there really is not much of a crosswind factor.
My semi-truck and that B727 have a lot in common. Gotta work that steering just to keep 'em str8 down the line. Guess that means I'm qualified to drive that B727 too. Bring it on, I can handle it.
I never realized how much the steering yolk seems to have a ton of lash.. it going left and right and in and out considerably with what looks like not much reaction from the aircraft. I've noticed that in other vids too.
Adrian amazing seeing that video on here. I recognised you both and in 2001 I went to Kerry on a flight and there was a nightstop. I don't remember the crew though but it must have been a different flight as I was in the FD and I wasn't taking any film on that day. Where is Caroline now ? Cheers Murray
Here you have a million dollar plus aircraft and wipers that belong on a clown car. The mix of the two gave me a smile. Great piloting.
+Cathy Meyer ha ha ha.. absolutely agree. it was funny
I'm searching on Ebay for a pair of Boeing whipers. What an amazing touchdown in case of the conditions. That's more than just a profession Sir.
Jeez are those wiper powered by hamsters!? lol
Nice landing !
The landing was really smooth when you think how awful the weather was. Good Work
Wow! what a landing! The pilot really had to take control of his plane on this landing. Great video!

Very nice landing indeed! Which airline uses the 727?
Not sure if anyone still does other than in Africa. They are too noisy and thirsty.

Adrian G. Pop There are quite a few 727's still flying around in Canada, all Cargo though. Cargojet and Purolator are two...
Thanks for the post. Love the 727.
Love the way you wrestled her down to the runway!
Yankin' and crankin' that yoke!
#B727
A+++++ for this video. Great plane, great flying, great ATC, the not so great, the wipers, of course lol.
This and the Dubrovnik MD-80 landing in Nice are my two favourite cockpit crosswind videos out there...
Love you Anita xxxxxxxx :-)
Just another day at the office\\TOP JOB.
good workout there captain!! I should know, I flew that bird over 12,000 hours...I do miss flying her, without a doubt my favorite jet hands down
Real Irish weather. Runway heavy rain. Terminal sunshine.
Nice video and an excellent job by the crew on landing in such weather!

Obviously no power steering on the old bird back in the day !! Thanks for posting.
That was a difficult landing, good job Captain.
That was AMAZING piloting!!
Thank for new experience
Haaaa - the good-old days (when sex was safe and flying was dangerous. ..).
Nicely done and filmed.
No sophisticated avionics, t-tail, and a yoke, what more hard thing can u ask than commanding a 727 spaceship? bravo capt!
Very nice video again, JustPlanes.
Them fucking windscreen wipers are crazy!
LOL..Who goes "Let's make a smoothie in the blender on final approach in bad weather!"
Jeff Thompson Best comment I have read for a long time. Haha
wow those wipers sound archaic. the pilot was excellent in handling the plane tho. great vid!

I would have thought the cockpit was quite peaceful seeing as the engines are so far back on the fuselage.
It wasn't the engine noise, it was aerodynamic (wind) noise that was very loud.@@BRaff-hl4ip
Sweet!!!! Love the 727 xD
Nice job Cap! even in nice weather the 27 is a sporty airplane which is why pilots loved it-
Loved them 727's
well done! congratulations.
Old school for sure! Love this vid. Who is at the helm
Great skill!
The Yoke looks more like an exercise machine at a gym!
Good stuff!
Good job!
dublin airport always windy ~~ salute to da pilot~
As an aircraft slows, control effectiveness decreases, requiring larger and larger control movements to get the desired effect. That is why it appears he is jockying the yoke around so much. That and the turbulance from the bad weather.
You should see how much I have to move the yoke in my C 182 during approach in turbulance, it looks like a fight in the cockpit.
amazing!!!
I read this and was thinking "How on earth is this related to the video?"
And then I LOL'd!
First time I watched it, I skipped to the landing. Thought the noise from the wipers was the captain going "Ahhhhhhhhhhh....."
Steady hand. Skilled pilot.
The 727, and 737 needs large control input to get anything out of the ailerons. This is an easy landing folks.
Man its like old School boxing shit
OK, now that video was damn awesome.
Good work. Lots of crosswind on that one.

Typical Ireland, soon as he gets the plane down and taxis to the terminal the sun shines. God I love this country.
Now that´s a great pilot.
that was a handfull even at a crosswind at 23kts. fun to watch
wow that was excellent
good job

Nice! Way to work it!
That pilot is a boss.
Talk about a cross wind! Well done, Captain.
Heroic touchdown!
let's see a scarebus pilot do this!!!
carleton morris Why?
Airbus relies too much on technology, these guys however have to do it theirselves, more control
+carleton morris How about a Russian pilot in something like a IL62 without power assistance. *Thats* flying.
+Aertraveller Shhh... let 'em hate. They don't know yet 777 and 787 are fly-by-wire too.
Your ignorance is simply amazing.
Like A Boss
I second that! :)
great landing!!
very danger,perfect landing,congratulations mr commandant
I never realized how much the steering yolk seems to have a ton of lash.. it going left and right and in and out considerably with what looks like not much reaction from the aircraft. I've noticed that in other vids too.
some loud wiper motor, but great job putting her down
This is who I want flying my plane.
Well done.
I would have got hypnotised by the wipers.
that was a grate landing
good landing captian

By Caroline I presume you mean Anita the F/O? Last time we spoke, she was globetrotting with her sister having a ball :))
Those sound like some high quality wipers.
i know that air port well, have flow in there a few times and its nerve racking in bad weather.
That plane looks terrifying to land. It seems like the controller is not accepting all the inputs the pilot is making. Great video.
You have nerves of steel capitan , nerves of steel !
Great landing. Thats what pilots train for!
nice landing
wow...great job, Pilots! You tell that plane who the boss is!
Cap'n had his hands full on that one, but he still made a nice landing. Kudos Cap!
The wiper motor did it's job. A little loud? Classic....
That reminds me, never to go to Kerry... and yep those wipers are horribly annoying, but good job on the landing
270° 28Kt ! Nice !!
Will someone mend the damn wiper
Gute Arbeite!
Scary!!! Way to go captain!!
SpeedCat I think is a cargo callsign? Also the Papa at the end of the call sign denotes positioning flight i.e. it's empty
Speedcat was the Callsign of Cougar Airlines. The official designator being GCR365P which you stated correctly was a positioning flight. :)
Look at those wipers go....................fuck!!
It's not, it's just the airplane that's fighting the wind...Any aircraft handles this way under this kind of weather.
It seems like they're moving the stick really far.....do you have to move it that much to control the plane? I thought it would be real touchy.
Done that in a 182.. :-) Full deflection of every control just to keep her on point. Good times. Wind 30 knots at 30 degrees and shifting into KMTP.
indeed that's hardcore flying.
Cougar
I pay attention to the wiper LOL XD
They'll be no point buying the DVD as we've seen most of it on youtube :D
Just kidding ... keep it up Just Planes !
hey have you ever tried to land a plane with strong cross winds ? i have its not as simple as keeping the yoke straight .
Is this still used in passenger service?The "newest" 727 is 29 years old
Paper maps and wind up wipers, humans at the controls!
those vipers are funny haha
controls really fighting with ya on landing.
