Jose Carreras Actually no it can sound with the landing gear down but the pilots on this plane were probably hearing their approximate altitude(50..40...30...20...10)
Should postpone clapping until the place has come to a safe stop. It'd be strangely ironic if the passengers were clapping as the plane flew off the end of the runway and exploded into a huge fireball.
That did actually happen to one flight that was coming in for a landing in Canada. The plane tried to land during a rough storm in Canada and as the plane landed on the runway and the flaps were raised to slow down the plane everyone clapped...until they noticed that the plane did not slow down at all continuing to roll down the runway at full speed. The clapping turned to screams until finally the jet ended up in a ravine at the end of the runway. All 200 passengers got out of the plane in 90 seconds using the emergency shoots before the plane finally exploded in a ball of fire. You can find this incident documented on CZcams with the surviving passengers telling the reporters how everyone clapped and then suddenly screamed when they saw that the plane was not going to slow down or stop.
procksomaterman Maybe it is because firm landings are because of bad landing conditions and therefore more difficult for the pilots than usual, so everyone claps?
procksomaterman well, you applaud when you ride the roller coaster. When do people applaud when sitting in a SUV traveling in the highway? I guess sitting in the cabin of a dramatic flight is the best free entertainment people can get cause they don't know whether the drama is for real or just some daily routine of a highly skilled pilot.
the pilot just did a short field landing. It was a short runway so he didn't flare as much. Because if he did he would have floated and missed out on a good portion of runway. So he stuck the wheels down hard to give himself more room to stop.
The purpose of a flare is to slow yourself down, which decreases landing ground roll. Short field landings still require a flare, and it's recommended to do so. The more you flare the less you roll.
Aleks Biteman that's true. but you wouldn't flare as much on a short field as you would on a normal. Because of ground effect u might float and miss good runway
If anything you flare earlier to get moving slower, allowing you to touch down sooner. Ground effect takes place no matter what, and the faster you are moving the more lift you maintain due to ground effect.
You got that right, Toncontin is one of the world's most dangerous commercial airports. On 21 October 1989 a a Boeing 727 from SAHSA (now defunct airline) crashed on approach to this airport. My father was on that flight. The crash was determined to be due to pilot error. Most everybody perished, including my dad. The pilots survived. Right after the crash the locals rushed to the site, and looted whatever was available, luggage, personal artifacts, and jewelry off of dead or dying passengers.
I am very sorry for your dad, really. From what you are describing, they seem like horrible people. I have heard that Honduras is a horrible country for women in particular, with a lot of rapings and killings.
I fly in to this airport all the time. It's pretty much a 50/50 of how this landing goes. You either hit the seat in front of you because of the huge jolt, or you feel it barely at all... Definitely a memorable flight for first-time fliers
+Riswan Ahmad P Most fsx pilots are young people probably teenagers like me and they say that they can fly get them in a real plane they probably will crash the thing before they get it in the air pilots know what they are doing like what riswan said hahaha
The door to the cockpit is usually closed and locked as long as there are passengers onboard, the pilots wear headsets and are listening to and communicating with ATC. And don't forget the noise from the engines. But I guess it depends on what plane we are talking about...
***** The flight attendant can hear the clap, they usually gonna tell the pilot later when they land, it's pretty obvious the pilot would know if the passengers cheers or not
Ah, TGU... I hated flying in and outta there as a flight attendant for American. That landing freaks everyone out, including flight attendants. We had to take a special class to be able to work those types of flights. The pilots received extra training as well. Great video, thanks!
I tried flying this on Flight Simulator X, and its pretty intense :P I got my dad to try it as well (he's a pilot with Air Canada) and he says its one of the hardest approaches he's ever done, and he's flown the checkerboard approach at Kai Tak airport (watch a video if you don't know what that is).
I also live in Honduras. It is bad lmao i live pretty close to the airport and shits scary, must be hell landing here when you come from a big country lol
It so annoying that people write comments saying he was coming in way too fast or even better say pilot was at least 20 knots over the correct landing speed. You are watching a low res camera with a side view. You have absolutely no way of knowing if this was too fast or not. Sure it looked fast, but so does looking out the side window of a moving car or train.
I agree with you there, however, I can safely say, with experience with aviation and watching planes take off, and land, including hard landings, this landing could have been executed a bit softer, but at least they landed..
I love flying with cabins like these. Instead of freaking out every 5 seconds, they laugh off the rough-ish landing and give and applause for the little rollercoaster-esque moment.
Fucking talks stupid shit "We're gon circle, drop and hit the breaks for what we have left" *then you should have known how to hold the camera correctly so that you don't drop it, dumbass*
Damn! Hard landing! Looks so much fun!! I'm going back in July this year! I love how this is really the only airport people clap once we land. From 180 down to 15 miles per hour in less than 1.5 miles. Hell of a ride!!
This is the most awesome landing I've seen on CZcams. Got to love Continental 737 pilots. I live on Guam in the middle of the Pacific and CO is usually the airline I take out here. If you ever try flying to the islands of Micronesia, these guys land on runways as short as Toncontin, but they fly over ocean then you touch down on the runway. Great video.
To all that people that say "Why the Drama?" That was a landing in Toncontin Intl Airport. Toncontin is one of the worst airports in the world to commercial airplanes. (sorry for my BAD english)
Nice job, pilots! That’s very hard work going in a circle like that and lining it up perfectly. It was a hard landing but it was on the landing marks right in time
Jakob Nilsson that dont mean shit.some of these pilots get over worked under paid half a sleep on coke etc.they be working the shit out of some these people man.im surprised there havent been tons more causalities
Nice landing. It is a dangerous airport and so reflects the passengers responses. If it were a smooth landing then it wouldn't be a dangerous airport. Duh-huh...
Gotta love canadians on a plane!!! Hard landing and everyone appriciated it!!! Telling the landing was awesome whereas most pilots are like: "That's not fun I dont like this one, it's scary as hell." Most of our dutch will shit their pants as they alway's did, Go Canada!!!! I'd really like to land there once, looks so great! Very nice clear and vivid vid you have here :D
wow, pilots must have real balls to fly to this airport, such a small room for error..., it can easily go so wrong, if only people knew of the actual complexity of this landing, im allways thrilled even when i do it on the flight simulator...
dronne Its ridiculous. They do it on a daily basis so for them it isn't difficult at all. I don't clap when a bus driver arrives at the station. A simple thank you on the way out would make a lot more sense.
Anton Antonovich But trained pilots find landings like the one in this video easy. It's there job to do it. It's like you were expecting the plane to crash when in reality flying is safer today then ever before.
That was a beautiful approach. I'm glad though I'm only watching it on YT and not on that plane because I am terrified of flying. But watching the videos helps me overcome it

Landing at Toncontin? All airline pilots have to be certified to land there. That approach will make you shit your pants... A descending left U turn into a valley to land on a 6000 foot runway with a cliff at the end. No margin for error. I'd have to have a drink after every landing....
+Rafael Santana Overdramatic...? On the contrary, it should NEVER become routine. Safely piloting a 70 ton metal tube through the air at 500 miles an hour. Not to mention the potential for human error, inclement weather, equipment failure etc. Ain't nothing routine about that. I've been a passenger and a pilot. I have some hours in a single engine piston. PA-28 Dakota to be exact and none of my flights are routine.
I remember travelling to Cyprus not to long ago. We came down and we're going to fast and we (at least what felt like) bounced on the runway. Everyone else screamed and I cheered for some unknown reason
Rafa1589 The approach pattern for Honduras calls for high speeds and low altitudes. The pilot's are specially trained to land at this airport and need that training in order to legally fly into this airport.
No, that's just what you do. After flying in with a lady who has flown in over 15 times, it's the way of thanking the pilot for landing safely. The roughness is just all part of the experience ;)

I feel sorry for the guys in the cockpit. All u could prolly hear is terrain terrain terrain. Lol
Sorry but this is not true
@altair could be possible because there are a lot of mountains
Whoop whoop pull up! pull up!
Wrong, that’s impossible as the terrain warning does not sound when landing gear is down.

FlightAce100 who knows, one time i was flying and the pilot land quite firm, and he/she got an applause, despite great flying conditions

...only 11:15am...and already a typically very active-looking, unstable Honduran sky. Outstanding piloting for that challenging approach.
Damn you talk too much.
The pilot had an extremely fast final approach so when you said " hit the brakes for all were worth" you were right

A properly executed short field landing is never a smooth landing.

Well the average landing speed for an aircraft this size is around 140 kias (160mph)

“Like I said, like I said” 😤
Ikr , if they can't handle turbulence then walk the boulevard
On our flight from
Miami to Honduras they offered free drinks. I refused but the attendant said, “I would take some if I were you.” I am glad I did!
This was awesome!
Ryan air must land there...
oh look, there is a mountain above us :D
Oh look I liked a 5 year old comment
Pilot: Should we give em' a good scare?
Co-Pilot: Go for it, slam down this puppy
Oh my god, that was amazing.
He just used the kangaroo system for landing...
I've seen harder landings. That is a difficult approach though. Special certification is required in order to fly it.
" First time flying"... YEAH..." Oh, we're going around a mountain! 🤯
You mean UNDER a mountain
That is amazing! I need to go there by plane NOW!
For Ice Cream!
But do they get it? ;)
I hate how everyone claps and cheers as soon as they hit the ground. Like buddy, you still going very fast along the runway
Exactly, you’re in one of the most dangerous phases of the flight at that moment
They would've looked like idiots if the plane overshot the runway and they clapped
That was a BEAUTIFUL landing for Honduras
I personally think the cheering was appropriate, so was the clapping, it was an exciting experience.
So... Did you get ice cream in the end?
1:31 JEEZ THE PLANE WAS SO LOW THE LANDING GEAR MUST OF GOT IN SOMEONES PIE
Or some guy ice cram cone u_u poor guy
My dad would tell stories of landing at Kai Tak in Hong Kong back in the 80s. Sounded like it was quite the ride!
The landing is definitely scary but the very fact that you're in Honduras is enough reason to scream.
