- A Lufthansa Boeing 747-830 (registration D-ABYP) bounced on the runway during a landing attempt at Los Angeles LAX. Flight #LH456 departed Frankfurt at 11:20 CEST this Tuesday, April 23 2024 for a 13-hour flight to Los Angeles.
The aircraft, on final approach to runway 24R, made a hard landing forcing the pilots to go around.
The event was caught on CZcams by AIRLINE VIDEOS at 1:05pm PDT. The Boeing 747-8 landed safely on the same runway about 15 minutes later.

This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations.
To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package.

I’m a commercial pilot and it can happen to any pilot. IT HAPPENS and the go around was the best decision. Congratulations to the crew
Technical explanation on why such a hard landing ?…microburst ?..miscalculation of the speeds registered?…wind shifting at the last moment ?…flaring too late ?…unstable approach can include a lot of variables…
I would not want to be in the shoes of the …copilot!…🙄😉
Little pilot grounded too early in his lifetime 😢
@@gillesbueno1153 surely it was not a microburst or a windshear because the weather was good, the aircraft comes smoothly and there are alerts about it. Probably the flare was too late
@@eduardoveiga245 Check.thanks for answering me
Writing from France…
@@gillesbueno1153 you’re welcome. Writing from Brazil
Your thoughts on Boeing planes? Thanks. for your service.
Passengers who were used to fly with Ryanair: "Normal touchdown." 😅
🤣
I can confirm. 😂
This is more than normal for me I'm Ryanair's passenger 😂
Ì love Ryanair 😂❤❤❤
It happens. The crew did the right thing choosing to go around.
That’s it
I am admiring how the pilot keeps calm during an emergency situation such as this one . He turns around and successfully lands safely. Amazing ! Bravo !
This is not an emergency situation.
Emergency or not, the corrective action was so quick. It goes to show why airline pilots are deserving of their prestige right up there with doctors, lawyers, scientists and engineers. Absolute consummate professionals.
A very good man❤
@@alexanderpatrick4866 I hate to rain on it, but they could've (should've) reacted even sooner... they really risked wheelbarrowing. I doubt there's a write-up from the cockpit, but it's entirely possible the captain took over in the middle of that.
lol, “emergency situation”, what? This is no Emergency Sit by any means…
People should never be afraid of turbulence again after seeing this….how these machines are made to super flex and bend and still fly just fine. I’m sure pilot feels stupid and will be obsessed with never letting this happen again
Go around is part of the landing procedure. He handled it just fine.
If you bounce then go around. The other option is a pilot induced oscillation!
@@annyer262 Yep, came very close to starting a real PIO.
I kind of disagree... the PF tried to fix this by derotating further and almost nailed the nose-wheel. "Just fine" would've been skipping that part and going around right away. You can see the insane amount of extra energy by the fact that started to climb away with the spoilers deployed.
@@BruceWatson-dw3ro I remember my instructor yelling at me about this. "Just go around and try again. Otherwise you will damage the plane!"
Wasn’t my fault, wasn’t the first officer’s fault, it was the asphalt!
Viva 747, The Queen of the Skies
I love how the Lufthansa pilot didn't want to say that it was a hard landing, just "go for another try" 🤣
Because it wasn’t!
To be honest, he mumbled something like „it was my landing“ as well.
@@user-kb8gh5jv9t Of course it was. Are you blind?
He said "[it was] just my landing". Are you deaf?
@@Sp3llw0rk , I can’t help that you are challenged in comprehension. Study it…🤦♀️
Can happen to any pilot, any time. To go around is part of the training of the pilots from the beginning.
👏👏👏
I'm a Ryanair pilot and we land like this all the time. This is the normality in our company.
😂😂😂😂 is easy jet better?
the second landing was a masterpiece
Butter!
There was a definate porpoise on the second landing also. Some reason for a noise forward dip which you would not often seen on a big heavy, especially a B747. Did they push the yoke forward a bit much? Would have expected better from the Germans. Poor airframe and poor passengers.
Fue horrible también como el primero, pero con una suerte un poco mejor.
No mate it was not so good ( I’m talking about the 2nd)
Thanks, Kevin, for sharing the video.
People who don’t fly the 747 have no idea how difficult it is to judge altitude and speed. The altitude of the cockpit when the mains touch is higher than the 50 ft call on most airliners. Transitioning to this plane of other aircraft can be extremely challenging. It’s not unusual for this to happen during this time.
Thanks, I was wondering if aircraft type was a factor.
No.. ..pilots do a lot of training and had to do these type- ratings..and : yes, they have the skill to land a 747 in the right way ( unbumpy and smooth).
The " high- above- cockpit- position " is not an excuse.
With the first 747 ( 747-100) the untrained (!) test- pilots made an excellent job: they had to " come - in - hot " too, because of a retracted- flaps-landing...and they did it perfekt and smooth in front of a big crowd of the visitors, customers, engineers, press and so on..
May be wind shear was a factor.
But the pilot did not mention something like that.
Never flew the -800. I have flown all the others. The B74 is the best landing airplane I've ever flown. The B73 the worst. I can attest that the landing gear is bullet proof. Hope no one bite their tongues on that landing.
But
@@BadToelz23 I'm sorry, but you are orating from the inner spaces of your colon through your sphincter. Here's some trivia to micturate all over your assumption. When the 747 was developed it did not have an automated Radio Altimeter count down. "50-40-30-20...." and guess what. The Boeing test pilots were smacking the hell out of the planes and beating the hell out of them. EYE-HEIGHT is a very real phenomenon in large transports. So, the count down RA was born to give pilots an extra tool to determine their flight path during the last 100 feet. Most any narrow body pilot who transitioned to a WB will tell you that difference in EYE-HEIGHT is an important criteria when transitioning to a WB aircraft. And yes, I am a pilot who "did a lot of training" and beat the hell out of a very nice 767-300 on 4R in BOS on IOE during my first WB landing. Thankfully I never did it a second time.
It's not her fault if she bounced a little. She's a well endowed bird.
true
Cool to see the correct channels used to obtain the video and the transparency of the communications, well done!
Thank you!
I've flown on LH456 dozens of times and have never had a landing like this!
The captain saved it by doing the right thing with the go around. The developing gallop that was starting could have transitioned into a loss of ground control with devastating consequences.
I’m not an expert but what you’re saying makes sense. 👍
@@Plutogalaxy
Most probably.It was a trainy pilot who did the landing.
After being a captain for 24 of my 28 years with a major airline I kind of guess I know.
Correct, see crash in Moscow years ago and burned plane at the end.
@@Danielka80 Or the variety of MD-11's that have done that.
Wow. No problem for that solid built landing gear from that massive 747-8i.
SAFRAN Landing Systems 👍
I like the fact that you asked and showed confirmation of permission for use of the video. Class act on both channels!
Thank you! 🙏☺
It was windy yesterday. I live under the flight path. The white rectangle he went over is the Santa Monica Airport. The flight path on the go around has two levels so that the traffic does not encounter wake turbulence. My impression - he was going to fast even though ATC told him to slow down.
As a pilot that flys for a US carrier, if he was flying a fast approach speed, would actually help him arresting the descent (sink) rate and he would’ve floated for a long landing. Unstable approaches do cause landing mishaps, however, if he was unstable, he would’ve gone around at 1000’ above touchdown zone. The fact that the plane landed hard was, in my opinion, he did not carry enough power into the flare or the approach speed was a bit slow so the plane sank down. It does not look that windy and believe me I’ve done landings in winds that makes this looks like a calm day.
My impression is the radio altimeter countdown startled him in which he pulled the yoke back further causing the mains to pound into the ground compressing the struts to their limits. I am “Monday morning footballing” ⚽️ for full disclosure
nah, ATC told them wind was "13" on their second approach ... that's not windy. also, look at the surrounding vegetation...not a blade of grass or flower petal is moving around. They screwed the pooch. Simple.
@@loveguitar2x I'm voting in the other direction... new guy not used to large eye-wheel height, flares late, too much energy (which I think you can see from how easily it climbs away with spoilers deployed, certainly out of ground effect).
Unstable approach? He was coming in hot!
Coming in hot is an unstable approach.
You have zero idea of what his actual speed was.
If he was fast it would actually help his sink and descent rate. But it would cause a long landing. Usually 1000’ above touchdown zone if where pilots decide to continue or go around if the plane is in unstable criteria, meaning faster than 20kts than target speed, not configured or high on glide path.
@@loveguitar2x ....and of course if it becomes unstable below 1000'.
@@lbowsk Me neither, but the ATC call to slow to approach speed, combined with how much energy they had (as you can see from climbing away after the bounce, with spoilers still deployed), shows they were at least a little hot.
Airline video live is the best i love watching kevin every days live❤❤❤❤❤
1:47 "It was just... uhh... my landing"
yea thats what i heard baha
@@gustafpeyron mostly because he said it :'D
@@boahneelassmal id know! im german
Thought I heard 'bad landing'
@@gustafpeyron schön digga
At time-index 1:43 or so... Think this is what I'm hearing: SoCal Approach: "What was the reason for the go-around?" Lufthansa 456: "Ah, it was just a wild landing so we have a--do another try.'' (comment edited after a re-listen on headphones)
Saw this live on AVL! I reacted just like Kevin! Wasn't expecting to see Lufty do that!
I also saw it live and I said something not as diplomatic as ‘Holy Moly’...
Lol. No doubt.
it happens, no matter how experienced or how many times you have landed they wont always be greasers...
I have left a little EGO on LAX 24R several times. And always picked up some Humble pie in return. 😏
Fifty..Forty..Ten
So cool to see. What an amazing piece of machinery and human skill at work! Stunning!
Great coverage!!
Thank God you lived to tell the story ! Thank You for your service Sir !
Haha what was the reason for the go-around? "mmh eeh joah nix, nur so xD"
Exactly what I heard, too 😂
Or….check the news tonight
I'm sure the ATC at that time knows what happened then now 😂
Amazing guy ... He handled it so superbly.
This can happen,the pilots handled it just fine.It looked worse than it really was. The 747 is a very,very strongly build aircraft with a very forgiving landing gear snd a strong construction.Joe Sutter developed a flying tank. This Queen had no issues and flies her regular service.
My guess would be an inexperienced FO did the landing and the captain then asked to go around when it bounced, I think if the captain did this bouncy landing he would have probably continued it even though a go around was the safest option.
Trainy pilot.
No, I think if the captain had done it, they'd be much faster on the go-around, and not starting the PIO, which kind of shows it was the FO.
awesome video footage,
Tell you what……..job well done !!!
A pilot in training …..can’t imagine how surprised and finally stressed he was and still…….got the bird back in the air.
That’s what balked landing is all about, a lot more difficult than a missed approach.
So……spare us the Schadenfreude.
Scrolling down the comments is just pathetic……just a bunch of armchair romons.
As to the approach speed, LH acknowledged WILCO……meaning understood, complying. It had nothing to do with the event. The pilot didn’t flare enough and when he finally did, it was too close to the ground. He just added vertical speed to the gear on top of the aircraft’s. Well known on the 727.
Best would have been to do nothing or just go around.
Thank God there weren’t any clowns like you watching when I did the same on a A380
Bruno didnt you mean 747 above not 727
@@jh6273 I did mean the 727 ……any long fuselage aircraft carries the same risk of a tardy flare ……better off doing nothing or go around .
Had he done nothing it would have a hard landing but certainly not what happened. However I think they came out brilliantly given the rather stressful situation.
@@Bruno-tm3xo noted Bruno thks
Agreed, but with a hard enough smack, there's an argument to be had for not going around in case there's serious damage. Just have a look at the AC621 crash.
Damn, that was a spine-breaker right there. RIP passengers.
ugh those hard economy class seats ouch
Passengers who were used to fly with Ryanair didn't note any difference... 😅
After 13 hour flight....Fatigue??? Even if they have 2 crews.....youre still stuck in a tube for 13 hours.
I’ve been on that flight inbound to LAX-several times, never had a landing like that. Wow!
It doesn’t look that bad. He blew the flare and touched down a little hard. It doesn’t look like he did any damage. Thankfully no tail or wing strikes. He just bounced on the main gear and went around. Granted if he did this on any more modern aircraft the wheels would have been flying off in every direction. But a 747 can take a good hit and shrug it off.
Though dramatic, a bounce is just a bounce.
A rare piece of positive news for Boeing. I have to agree the air plane is well built.
We all have those landings we would like to have back. Had a Take off where a gust lofted me well below T.O. speed had to land quick and build speed .
Flared too low low/late and slammed the landing gear into the pavement. Ooops!
Yes...we know. We watched the video too.
Looks like 2 airports and 3 airstrips all really close to each other. Air traffic must be a nightmare
The southern airport is long beach, there’s also a navy base with landing strips and even more airfields than you can see here in this area. There’s also Torrance airport a bit more south closer to the coast. Burbank just to the east as well.
my mom took flying lessons at Hawthorne. The IFR lane everyone uses to go up the coast crosses the center of LAX, perpendicular to the runways! Your tootling along in a 170 and A380s are landing on one side of you and taking off on the other...
@@confuseatronicaI assume you meant vfr
All traffic in Southern California is a 💩show!
LAX is always a nightmare in every aspect.
I would trust a LH crew just as I do a BA crew. They are excellent in terms of safety and although they don’t need to explain, usually they do, which just helps us know how good they are at the job. A go-around is a sign of a flight crew that’s willing to put your safety ahead of everything else.
I guess I trust them similarly... though keep in mind that LH is one of the few airlines to actually crash a 747.
You’ve got to get pretty low in order to land-Ted Stryker
Interesting: They landed a 747 on one of the shorter RWYs. Wonder if there mhb unreported windshear over the airport as well.
Not sure why this is even News! Bottom line is, they made the right decision to go-around. If you have flown long enough and different types of aircraft you will have one of those landings!
This is now a required maneuver after bounding on landing. It’s in an abundance of caution.
Im not sure that the American version of "Jerry" from BigJet TV has quite the same vibe.
as for today Bigjet-TV has 415k subs and AirlineVideos has 778k subs
BigJet would still be screaming Oooooh Ooooooh
Big jet would scream louder
Would have been a great time for the ground controller to tell the Lufthansa pilot, "taxi what's left your airplane to the gate".
…….and that would have been both stupid and unprofessional…..a lot like your comment
@@Bruno-tm3xohave you ever watched Kennedy Steve?
@@Bruno-tm3xoChill dude, he’s probably not serious
@@mintmallow4503 well ……when i look at his picture I see something else…….
Well it’s kinda obvious for the reason, so why say
This has been happening for the last 70 years...now, there is an audience.
Practice (Training)FLIGHT. LUFTHANSA told a german newspaper 😊
did anyone find cabin video of this bounce? It looked kinda screamy...
The fact the spoilers deployed then retracted in time for a safe go around without scrubbing too much speed is amazing
He pressed TOGA on a 747 u will feel the power. Experienced a go around once its pretty strong
LH Pilot sounds shook After that fugly landing!!!!! ATC did advice them to reduce speed before landing.
They advice them not to make landing easier, it's for patter work.
It's better to do a circuit because of a hard or unsuccessful landing, which a pilot in training had apparently botched, than to directly lose the main landing gear of a Boeing, or how do we see that?
Were similar as a lot of hard landing of the Mexicana airlines DC10- 15 of the 80’s everywhere it were flying. “ Ida Al aire” wow!
Is it mandatory to state the reason for go around? Legal requirement or just for convenience and paperwork?
Could it be a training landing going a bit wrong.
It was
US pilots often let the copilot do a landing and the approaches are sometimes wobbly with short late power adjustments and rough. Maybe the Lufthansa copilot did the first attempt and the pilot quickly took over to make the go around and landing.
? The "copilot" does the landing every other leg....
PILOTING HEAVY PASSENGER PLANE is HARD TO LAND.
I TRY LANDING IT IN VIRTUAL SIMULATION BUT I FAILED ALWAYS.
HEAVY PASSENGER AIRLINES LIKE THIS is VERY DELICATE PLANE TO HANDLE.
As a non flier my assessment is that pilot flared his plane and generated the landing descent in single instant instead of smooth sequential progression. In the final landing too the plane flares and simultaneously tries to touchdown, before the final butter butter .
As far as I know Lufthansa confirmed it was a training flight
ya, that’s the message they want out there to the press and social media - - it was released before they arrived at LAX gate 🙄
Strange to hear that ATC has to ask question while the pilot is in the middle of trying to land that big 747 on second attempt. ATC could have waited until the plane landed.
I think she was frustrated that he didnt give a clear answer first time
They always do this. It’s dumb and annoys the crap out of me.
I missed her asking the pilot for an immediate written report sent via email while the 400 ton plane was still on the down leg as if he was driving a delivery van and missed a left turn into the ghetto.
True, but the pilot monitoring (and dealing with radio work) should not be the pilot flying, otherwise Lufthansa has even bigger problems than this. Besides, ATC wasn't going to get another chance to ask (and it was asked before by the other controller and the pilot was evasive)... after touchdown, he was going to be sent over to ground quickly, missing the window.
@@BruceWatson-dw3ro For some reason the pilot flying was also the pilot communicating ( stress very evident in his voice!) which I agree is somewhat odd (what was the other pilot doing?), but an experienced controller would have noticed this special situation and would have acted accordingly.
Windshear?
Did they not say ‘On the go’ or did the tower figure it out first?
Seems to be like a kiss landing for a Ryanair passenger 😅
Looks planned to me. That's landing and missed approach currency requirements done and dusted! ("I need 2 more landings, so I'll get them done at the same time!")
Out of curiosity is a Go Around a pain for ATC? ATC expects the aircraft to land. When it doesn't isn't that an issue for ATC?
Because of its size it's actually easier to land than many other aircraft. Drop a small airplane in from 2 ft above the ground and kablamo. The same 2 ft would be nothing for this and it would be a smooth landing. This was a horrible landing, but was handled correctly. German pilots do not get much landing practice in training because of the high cost per landing over there. And with long haul flying you're lucky to get a few landings per month. Less if you're flying was a relief pilot.
I am quite surprised to see the landing fumble by 747-8 experienced crew. It could have gone south with serious damage to nose gear however go around was timely. Second approach was good.
Happens to the best .
This was a simple fuck up by the flight crew that could have been deadly. That said, they were calm and made the right call to go around. This is now a required maneuver after a serious bounce. The captain will take shit for this since he point blank lied. “Go for another try?” 747’s with passengers don’t make touch and go’s. This mistake was serious and must be addressed.
Unstable approach, high sink rate, flared too late.
Not sure about the sink rate, but flare was too late.
Is anyone else surprised that ATC cleared another aircraft for take off from this same runway within a minute or two with no thought of doing a runway check?
Where are the People with that fine landing expirience of a Lufthansa Jumbo in L.A.??
Lucky there was no tail strike!
How's the aircraft? That was harsh.
I've never seen a 747 do that except in bad weather.
yeah were just doing some touch and goes
Did the pilot say 'Pilot training' as the reason for TOGO!
Pilot error. Great recovery.
So does something like this have to be reported to the airline? Are there consequences to the pilots? Does the aircraft have to undergo a more thorough pre-flight inspection after a hard landing like this?
Yess in this case like in every other company an internal event will be set up as this will have to be reported to authorities because it is a flight incident. Hard landings are defined in different phases to determine if it can continue or not. Anyway it is likely that it undergoes for a deeper specific inspection. In case of findings it can take months before being back in the air.
I feel so sorry for these guys. Hard landings happen every day, they took the correct and safe way out of the balked landing but it now gets viral because there happened to be a camera and some IA algo decide to make it viral. Check & reset.

I'm sure that was the first officer.
Hahahaha, Captain Kraut almost botched the second landing...
Traffic control main goal was to understand the reason behind go around {for paper work} rather than helping landing safely! I understand the airport arrival is jammed, but it's never a reason to prioritize paper work on safety! That pilot is going nowhere. after he lands you can ask him all the F questions you want! Where the F is America going?
If an accident happened, they would've blamed Boeing for that
