Ryanair uses the force of a hard landing to wake sleeping passengers up so that they can feel fresher once they reach the gate - it’s the little things that make up great service.
Yup nothing wakes and freshes you up as a thought you might die. I once almost fell asleep at the wheel, woke up as a truck was blowing its horn, I was in the wrong lane... Sleep was instantly gone and later I was as fresh and concentrated as ever. Since then I do not drive when tired.
Yeah i agree that it totally dosent make your heart skip 5 beats, feel like the landing gears are going to explode, and if your sleeping u dont jolt out awake with 100% of fear and 0% fun, also that u feel like you just broke your butt on the landing cuz it was so hard. Nope those uhmm "totally" didnt and wont happen...
@Khalid Hadian fair question. It's mainly a combination of type of aircraft and airports we fly into. The 737-800 that we mainly fly is an aircraft that needs a firm touchdown by Boeing procedures. Due to the design you also feel it more than with other aircraft e.g. A320. We also fly into a lot of smaller airports, with often shorter runways than the major airports. This makes it even more important to make a firm touchdown on exactly the right spot.
@@SloBar Fascinating info. Thanks for it. I've flown RA into Dublin from BHX...we did a go-around on that flt, but RA actually has a good safety rec, & a go-around isn't anything big. Good to hear info from an actual pilot.
Some of the most enjoyable takeoffs and landings I've had as a passenger were on Ryanair flights. The one to Perpignan once had what sounded like an ex-Mig pilot who tannoyed, "hello welcome to Ryanair flight FR34 to London ok we take off now" followed by instant throttle up, full speed start and a military stick pull to a mad ascent angle 😁 I was loving it! The landing at the other end was absolute butter too.
@@lanzortiz3199 there's a flip side to that coin. I was on a Ryanair flight where the pilot dropped it out of the sky from cruise to approach in such a steep dive that it blew the membrane between my eye socket and nose. I can blow air out of my left eye. Hurt like fuck too.
@@user-yh7zc9ke4s No not really, I had a bad cold at the time. The pressure had nowhere to go. It doesn't bother me now, but it hurt like fuck at the time.
@@capnskiddies IIRC, airliner pressurisation systems have delay built in, with maximum rates of change - though there are automatic safety valves in case of emergency which can operate quickly if needed. In any sort of non-emergency descent, you'd be hard pressed to reach a rate of cabin pressure change that would cause injury, without some other factor - which you say was present, as you had a bad cold - this was most likely the cause unfortunately, not the rate of descent :/
To be honest, when I am paying 20 euro for a roundtrip ticket with RA, I don't care if the plane jumps 3 times on landing. If I get home alive, it's happy days. For those who don't like it, British Airways will happily accommodate you for 10x price.
I was a frequent flyer (20-30 flights a year) and I don't remember any difference between Ryanair and British airways except for the meal and age of the flying attendants. Ryanair has better coffee though, love those cups with an in-built filter unlike Wizzair crap.
A good landing is a landing you can walk away from. A great landing is one where the plane can be used again. Anything beyond that, you're just showing off
@@Deadeye313 Lufthansa has god-tier pilots. I’ve flown in their A340s and 747-8s probably a hundred times now and it’s been smooth landings all around. Very experienced pilots, even got to experience one of their pilot’s last flight which got a nice farewell water show from the fire brigade upon arrival. Cool stuff.
In the US there is a saying that goes around that you can tell the difference between the Air Force and the Navy pilots when they retire and fly for airlines. The Air Force pilots float down softly, and as you're reading your magazine, you look outside the window and say "wow, we're here!" The Navy pilots say THERE'S THE RUNWAY.
One time my ryanair flight’s pilot pulled a thirty-degree bank in less than 3 seconds and hurled my inflight beverage straight to the other side of the aisle. If our flight was anywhere further east of Hungary, I would’ve genuinely believed that the pilot saved us from an Ukrainian Separatist’s surface-to-air missile. I spent $40 for that flight though, so I couldn’t really complain.
To be fair to Ryanair, they do operate out of secondary airports to save on fees, which usually means a shorter runway. For safety, they land near the numbers with a firm touchdown to give maximum braking action and available runway length. At larger airports, they can land softer though they may already be in the habit of landing 'short-field' so they might still put it down a little rough.
I always avoided ryanair, but they were the only option for a trip some time ago and I was almost disappointed at the smooth landings I got. Was filming and everything. Good job by the crew that ran Porto to Terceira in October :D
Fly in to Dublin in winter time (October to February) and you'll get the Ryanair landing you want. Fuckin lethal so they are, nearly go off the runways everytime
One time, following ten minutes of over-corrections, we all knew it was an amateur landing us on Ryanair. All the overheads crashed open. Some passengers screamed. Massive bang. "As you may have noticed" said the hostess.." we've now landed at Malaga."
As a student I got to see the world on a shoestring, thanks to Ryanair.They had the newest fleet of any carrier.The staff were always polite.The take off and landings were uneventful.Thanks for the memories and the photos Ryanair.
The staff were always polite? I thought they had a policy of employing at least one grumpy wench per crew, to act as enforcer/mammy. Not a complaint, I've seen them needed by times.
I remember landing at Prestwick with Ryanair, it was dark wind and wet. The landing was so smooth and across the tannoy came a very deep, OH YEAH even the pilot had impressed himself with the landing.
The 737 is built like a bunker. There's still a lot of 1960s pig iron engineering in that thing. There are vintage 737s that land and take off daily from gravel and they're still trucking 50 years later.
whats all about a hard landing? since no the carryon bags fall onto your head.. anyway on landing u should be awake, not drinking anything, strait seat pósition.. bell buckled ..so if thers not any structural damage on the plane its a perfect safe landing, even if u liked that no one notice that already landed... Im jealous of those that can use this airline! i like all my landings like that! my "heaviest" was in an B737 with heavy crosswinds and heavy blizzard, 0 visibility, at night and even on the window i couldent saw the runways side lights or the city or airport buildings lights.. and have a lots of banks side corrections and all noted when "touch down" because was really hard, and in the second our plane landend..the airport was closed so the 2 flights that came right behind us..were diverted to the alternative aiport..this was on Ushuaia and yes..I liked the experience! hehe
I like to think the landings depends on the mood of the Ryanair pilots. If they’re feeling good, it’s gonna be butter. If they’re irritated, it’s gonna be a carrier landing
This is why Ryanair does not serve beverages and food on their flights. Imagine all the hot boiling liquid and food jostling around the cabin during the landing. That would be extra cleaning costs.
They already do! Boeing makes an adapted variant of the 737 with a staircase built into it, for the times passengers need to board without terminal ‘arms’.
@@mwbgaming28 Would’ve been helpful, but no 😆 The variant of the 737 that Ryanair uses requires a firm touchdown as a result of a slight design flaw in the landing gear’s lubing system.

Yes, they are proud of their early and "definite" hard-decelerating landings, I'm sure. Probably part of the company identity. Experienced a few times, never disappointed.
Summer 2021, landing in Sicily: I've been on many Ryanair flights on this particular route, and in many times of the year too, but the turbulence we got this particular day was so crazy it even got me cringing. I usually find the jostling during turbulence fun, but when you're an idiot that keeps the seatbelt wide like me and you feel your whole ass lose grip with the seat it's not fun anymore lol. Some guy behind us started loudly reciting the rosary and every greasy sicilian grandpa on the flight was having WWII flashbacks, they probably thought it was the americans all over again. We finally touch ground and it's almost like instead of the smooth runway, the plane has landed on one whicever swiss-cheese-style roads on the island, basically already preparing everyone for what it's like to drive around in Sicily. My overpriced chips were experiencing what it's like to be in space and the guy who was reciting the rosary was at that point done trying to bribe god to let him survive this flight and had now resorted to threatening. One of the greasy grandpas yelled "this one is crazy!", referring to the captain, who thankfully couldn't hear him and would probably not understand this particular iteration of the palermitan dialect regardless, given the very heavy german accent he had. I fear if he had he would have taken flight again and tried to crash the plane for a second time lol The very young, snazzy crew of flight assistants was cackling at the whole ordeal though. Indeed the shenanigans by the god fearing sicilian grandpas were hilarious lol And yes I have worn the seatbelt properly ever since. (Jokes aside, this was a one off and I've had a great flight experience with this company during the years 😂 the only issue with this company is that they refrain from letting passengers know that the seats and subsequent leg space are designed for smurfs, small mystical creatures and children under the age of ten, and not normal-sized adults.)
Landing at Stanstead was an experience, fast landing, fast to the terminal then he must have had an emergency switch as everything went off at the same time (engines lights the lot) and we came to an very abrupt halt where I hit my hand on the seat in front of me.
You mustn't of paid the extra for "proper debarking". They then resorted to military techniques: Gas the cabin, bag people's heads and throw them down the slides 😂
it's actually a really good airline with extremely affordable prices and beautiful 737's, flown it many times, no complains at all, most landings were pretty smooth, besides, bumpy landings can happen to any airline...
I only flew with them once (round trip), but both flights arrived early and I had no issues whatsoever. First landing was butter smooth, I was distracted by another passenger and didn't even notice the touchdown. The second one felt like we slammed into a wall though.
True story...I was once on a train that was about to leave London for Scotland. A Ryanair pilot entered the cabin (in full captain's uniform) and quite rudely said to a woman blocking the aisle as she loaded her luggage "Excuse me, I'm a pilot", as if that gave him some sort of authority to get her to move out of his way. To this day I regret not asking him if he was needed at the front of the train to fly us back to Scotland. What a dickhead.
People saying in the comments hard landings like Ryanair are unsafe: No, it’s the opposite. By getting to ground earlier counter thrust / braking can be applied earlier and therefore less runway is used to stop (advantage for Ryanair: get an earlier taxiway to the gate to minimize ground time)
@@D3nn1s The airplane is not your bicycle. The landing gears can sustain a lot of impact. In some weather conditions the airplane is supposed to land harder. Some of airplane's landing systems like lift dumpers could depend on landing hard enough to trigger these systems. Lift dumpers are almost always deployed automatically on touch down. If landing is too soft they could not be deployed that could cause even a fatal crash in some conditions.
You can find landings like this with any airline. For all aplly the same rules and standards when it comes to qualification. It is not like there is a PPL pilot behind the yoke.
There is something to it. Ryanair run really tight schedules so some of their pilots really do try to get it down Navy-style in order to stop quicker, catch an earlier taxiway, and get to the gate that little bit sooner. It's not a big factor, but it's enough to make it a little more common and that's all you need to make a reputation. Kind of like the difference between a taxi driver and a chauffeur. You'll find smooth operators and Gorillas in both jobs, but they're not exactly the same bell curve.
"When you arrive in a Ryanair, you appreciate life a little more. You dont know what you have until its gone, so don't lose it. The service, the price, the near death landing guarantee, and the passed 40 years of safety- Fun without dyin' Fly Ryan."
Just in case people actually think Ryanair have particularly bad landings, they don't. They only use a fleet of 737-800s, which tend to always have harder landings than most other aircraft. This is because of the outdated, low to the ground design they have, combined with their length, making it so that they have to land at higher speeds as they aren't able to flare as much
Honestly don't have a problem with Ryanair at all. I was raised to "never ever stoop so low" as to take Ryanair, but since I'm now paying for my own travels, I've flown numerous times and have never had a bad experience. The only really annoying part is the booking process, which tries at every corner to shove extra fees and add-ons down your throat. Otherwise, it's really just an airline.
Made me laugh must admit, didn’t realise the technicalities with the 737 and landing it. I assumed it was the threat from that greedy O’Leary that caused this rushed approach, ie land, turn around and take off quickly or you’re sacked!
The Dark Lord O'Leary does little subtle things like fuelling league tables for the pilots so whoever takes least fuel wins and those who take sufficient quantity for diversions/emergencies etc are penalised.
If they gave me mileage for the extra bouncing on the landing strip, in six months I could afford that Japanese holiday. EDIT: I am just joking. Without them I could not afford to travel at all and they are nice and professional. Thank you guys it's just for the laughs 🙂
Well the actual reason they have to do this is coz most of the Airports they land on have short runways so they need to touch and stop before reaching the end of the runway hence they can't go for a smooth landing coz it takes more runway space.
Ryanair pilot: this is the captain speaking brace for impact in runway Flight attendant: Holy mary pls land this bloody pieces of shit Me : sitting next to window seat seeing the engine burning
this is a classical textbook ryan air tactic: wake the passenger through a bumpy landing to ensure quick de-boarding. othrreise flight crew has to fently tap people on the shoulder till they wake up, time is money.

As a Ryanair pilot I am typing this comment as I am landing.
it's actually a really good airline with extremely affordable prices and beautiful 737's, flown it many times, no complains at all, most landings were pretty smooth, besides, bumpy landings can happen to any airline...
bumpy landings xD
Nice try, Ryanair PR employee
I only flew with them once (round trip), but both flights arrived early and I had no issues whatsoever. First landing was butter smooth, I was distracted by another passenger and didn't even notice the touchdown. The second one felt like we slammed into a wall though.
@@demoniack81 I hope the first pilot was fired by Ryanair and hired by the Emirates. Smooth landings are illegal in Ryanair.
As a Ryanair pilot, I'm speaking to you from the afterlife
I laughed 🤣
About 30 min
Me too
Yeap amazing video lol 😆👏😆
True story...I was once on a train that was about to leave London for Scotland. A Ryanair pilot entered the cabin (in full captain's uniform) and quite rudely said to a woman blocking the aisle as she loaded her luggage "Excuse me, I'm a pilot", as if that gave him some sort of authority to get her to move out of his way.
To this day I regret not asking him if he was needed at the front of the train to fly us back to Scotland. What a dickhead.
And those were the good and smooth landings from Ryanair. You should see the bad ones.
Ryanair landings make my infinite flight landings look like a piece of art.
even making hard landing since 2009, I still like it.
People saying in the comments hard landings like Ryanair are unsafe: No, it’s the opposite. By getting to ground earlier counter thrust / braking can be applied earlier and therefore less runway is used to stop (advantage for Ryanair: get an earlier taxiway to the gate to minimize ground time)
Also the tires take more off a beating getting them closer to a potential rupture as well as risking bounces
@@D3nn1s It's not how it works.
@@thewhite8uard so how does it work then? Landing harder = more deformation
More deformation is bad for any material and will cause stress
@@D3nn1s The airplane is not your bicycle. The landing gears can sustain a lot of impact. In some weather conditions the airplane is supposed to land harder. Some of airplane's landing systems like lift dumpers could depend on landing hard enough to trigger these systems. Lift dumpers are almost always deployed automatically on touch down. If landing is too soft they could not be deployed that could cause even a fatal crash in some conditions.
@@thewhite8uard yes ofc but even if theyre designed for that its still better to land softer to reduce wear...
Passenger: "Very graceful"
Pilot: "No...but VERY efficient"
pilots know what they're flying
You can find landings like this with any airline. For all aplly the same rules and standards when it comes to qualification. It is not like there is a PPL pilot behind the yoke.
There is something to it. Ryanair run really tight schedules so some of their pilots really do try to get it down Navy-style in order to stop quicker, catch an earlier taxiway, and get to the gate that little bit sooner. It's not a big factor, but it's enough to make it a little more common and that's all you need to make a reputation. Kind of like the difference between a taxi driver and a chauffeur. You'll find smooth operators and Gorillas in both jobs, but they're not exactly the same bell curve.
With some airlines the touchdown is so smooth that one is unsure whether or not the landing has occurred. Ryanair dispels that doubt very effectively.
Not really
I have flown many times without noticing the landing. With Ryanair you notice the landing.
Every landing you can walk away from is a good landing!
this is the best RYANAIR hard landing meme... XD
Their ad be like: For an exhilarating roller coaster ride, fly with us at Ryanair. An experience you’ll never get elsewhere.
"When you arrive in a Ryanair, you appreciate life a little more. You dont know what you have until its gone, so don't lose it. The service, the price, the near death landing guarantee, and the passed 40 years of safety- Fun without dyin'
Fly Ryan."
Just in case people actually think Ryanair have particularly bad landings, they don't.
They only use a fleet of 737-800s, which tend to always have harder landings than most other aircraft. This is because of the outdated, low to the ground design they have, combined with their length, making it so that they have to land at higher speeds as they aren't able to flare as much
This is what happens when your pilot is named Gav.
Pilot: we have paid enough for the suspension, so I am gonna use it fully.
Never flown with Ryanair but this video had and has me giggling like a child. Extremely funny.🤭
For the people that don’t know, Ryanair is like the JetBlue of the European airlines.
Except JetBlue is 10 times better…
The "Fasten Safety Belts" lamp must've been glowing red hot.
When your boss tells you to keep everything at a budget, so you hire pilots on a budget:
Honestly don't have a problem with Ryanair at all. I was raised to "never ever stoop so low" as to take Ryanair, but since I'm now paying for my own travels, I've flown numerous times and have never had a bad experience. The only really annoying part is the booking process, which tries at every corner to shove extra fees and add-ons down your throat. Otherwise, it's really just an airline.
"butter landing" _has left the chat_
If they bounce they can charge the customers for a second landing.
Ok so in the simulator if I hear the radio altimeter calling out that fast I know it's hard landing time. Found that out lol this video nailed it
as a ryanair loyal client I can approve this video
Plot Twist: All Ryanair Pilots are Navy Pilots
next Ryanair 737 mod: Tailhooks!!
When you hire fighter pilots to fly passenger planes
"Tower, this is Ryanair Flight 280.. Please note excessive spongyness of the tarmac. Thank you."
Made me laugh must admit, didn’t realise the technicalities with the 737 and landing it. I assumed it was the threat from that greedy O’Leary that caused this rushed approach, ie land, turn around and take off quickly or you’re sacked!
The Dark Lord O'Leary does little subtle things like fuelling league tables for the pilots so whoever takes least fuel wins and those who take sufficient quantity for diversions/emergencies etc are penalised.
Ryanair passenger once said that he fly the airline for the landings
"Ryanair 123, runway 25L, cleared to land...I just want to say good luck, we're all counting on you"
If they gave me mileage for the extra bouncing on the landing strip, in six months I could afford that Japanese holiday.
EDIT: I am just joking. Without them I could not afford to travel at all and they are nice and professional. Thank you guys it's just for the laughs 🙂
This is the MOST hilarious thing I've ever seen!!! 😂😂😂
And Ryanair laughs in 0 fatalities since its inception.
*RYANAIR: KEEPING SUSPNSION MANUFACTURERS IN BUSINESS*
Wrong callouts. I think you mean :1000 200 50 20 10
1000 20 10
2500 1000 100 10
That's just basically how I land towards the end of my lessons when I'm getting tired and just want to go home lmao
I'll get my tool box and meet you at the terminal for that heavy landing check.
I fly Ryanair a lot. Their pilots are really good. But this is hilarious
Ryanair is the proof that 737-800's are builded like tanks, great publicity
*its just a free wake up service* "every ryanair pilot when passengers give a complainment
when no one wants to pay the added surcharge for a go-around
Ha ha. That's a good one!
As a Ryanair pilot, I was busy with a phone call to my counselor.
typical Ryanair landing :
"Heads down, stay down!"
"Heads down, stay down!"
...
If Ryanair could play that music every time they touchdown that would be lit.
ironically, ryanair has not had a crash since 2008. Yes, you *read* this right, last crash in 2008
AHAHHAHAHAH. As a RyanAir pilot, I should probably checking minimums right now and not on my iPad
Imagine how loud Jerry Dyer would shout watching this, all donations appreciated
The song matches the video.. absolutely butter landings 🤣🤣
"You better wrote your will before you board" - Ryan Air
We're on the ground and you're alive, what's the problem? -Ryanair
*"I PLAYED FOR THE WHOLE SUSPENSION IM GOING TO USE THE WHOLE SUSPENSION"*
Well the actual reason they have to do this is coz most of the Airports they land on have short runways so they need to touch and stop before reaching the end of the runway hence they can't go for a smooth landing coz it takes more runway space.
Ryanair pilot: this is the captain speaking brace for impact in runway
Flight attendant: Holy mary pls land this bloody pieces of shit
Me : sitting next to window seat seeing the engine burning
RyanAir doesn't land, it arrives.
Ryanair Interviewer: can you land a plane?
Pilot: Yes
Ryanair Interviewer: that's all we want
Pilot: say no more
this is a classical textbook ryan air tactic: wake the passenger through a bumpy landing to ensure quick de-boarding.
othrreise flight crew has to fently tap people on the shoulder till they wake up,
time is money.
Ryanair: If “not great, not terrible” was an airline.
I'm convinced Ryanair pilots were once from the Navy
You should do a #shorts version of this. It's very well suited to that platform, and should perform very well.
Ryanair : *Lands Hard*
Tower : Another Great Day
Also Tower : * Lets Ryanair To Park On The Grass Instead *
Ryanair: Low fares, low flares
As a student pilot for Ryan air, I got fired for buttering. Now US Airways wants me.
I've flew Ryanair like 15 times last 3 years and every landing has been smooth.
