    @MrSidestick72 Před měsícem +2

    Many pilots are unaware that the localizer antenna is positioned on the nose of the aircraft and this means that during approaches with strong crosswinds, landing with a significant drift angle, the main landing gear will touch the ground not at the center of the runway as it should but several meters moved towards the edge of the runway, enormously limiting the possibilities of regaining the center line safely during de-crab.
    The correct way to land in these conditions is to align the cockpit between the center line and the windward runway edge in proportion to the crosswind component and above all depending on the length of the fuselage between the cockpit and the main landing gear, which on very long aircraft it can even be over 30 m

    I'll be always amazed by the sheer counterintuitiveness of the stall recovery maneuver... I mean, the plane is falling? Hey, no problem, I point it down and accelerate so it falls even faster. No wonder it's gotta be one of the most trained maneuvers, you gotta condition yourself to fight the natural urge of pulling up.

    • @nightjarflying
      @nightjarflying Před měsícem +2

      It's not counter-intuitive - there is absolutely no urge to pull up. This is because at the moment the wing loses lift the plane is not falling - there is no sensation of falling, there's no visible sign that you're falling, but the trained pilot notices the controls become sluggish & it's perfectly natural to regain control by pushing the nose down to restore wing air flow & hence lift.

The final report on Airbus A330-203, F-GZCP, AF 447 [Rio de Janeiro - Paris]:- "The plane began to climb. During the whole climb to 38,000 feet, the crew failed to understand the situation. Even when the plane stalled and the stall warning sounded, the crew likely did not understand the stall situation they were in and so never tried to put the nose down and recover the plane from the stall.

      @@PN_48 Never felt that way myself & reread where I wrote "trained". The key is realising one has entered a stall - at that moment the plane is rarely falling, one is usually climbing with too great an angle of attack. One applies "nose down" nearly always before the plane falls.

  • @Horstroad
    @Horstroad Před měsícem +38

    IMHO the A380 did not get blown off the centerline. You have to take into account from where the aircraft is flown. It's flown from the flight deck, which is in the very front of the aircraft. During landing pilots don't keep the center of the aircraft over the centerline, but but themselves, because that's their reference point. Even during an automatic landing the same will happen, because the localizer antenna is under the radome and it will keep the nose of the aircraft right on the centerline. Looking at the footage, the flight deck stays over the centerline almost perfectly, so I think the pilots did a good job.

      @@pnwsnewton Then how come, in the Boeing 747 training manual, it specifically advises positioning the cockpit upwind of the centreline in crosswind landings? (Yes I've done the course). In an autoland the problem doesn't arise because the crosswind limitation is so low as to make the small deviation from centreline acceptable.

    • @douggreen9234
      @douggreen9234 Před měsícem +2

      As a retired airline pilot, I have to differ. The objective is to land the main gear centred over the centreline.

    • @lbowsk
      @lbowsk Před měsícem

      Conversely, in my view, the pilots butts ought to be UPWIND of the centerline when approaching the threshold so that the main gear is properly over and aligned with the Centerline of the runway and not horribly downwind and askew from it. A skilled pilot then adds rudder to swing the long axis of airplane parallel to and on the centerline just as the plane is about to and or touching down. He doesn't side load the hell out of the gear (and pax necks) and simply let inertia straighten the jet. This will also prevent the furious rudder-dance that so often follows horrible crosswind landings as the jet yaws all over the runway. Having the nose gear on the centerline does no good if the rest of the jet is headed elsewhere. There are dozens of Emirates jets landing sideways on YT. It ain't pretty.

    • @vumba1331
      @vumba1331 Před měsícem

      A380 had perfect approach for the conditions. When landing you want to be downwind of the centre line because when the wheels touch down, and given their angle to the runway, they will immediately try to take the aircraft to the left, which would need to be corrected by right rudder.
      In that brief left movement at touchdown the aircraft can move quite a distance laterally and if you are already at the centre of the runway, you could end up too close to the lhs edge. As can be appreciated, this is problem on narrow runways with large aircraft.
      If however you are right of centre you will end up in the middle which is where you want to be.
      Try landing a light aircraft on a 6m wide runways in a 15 knot crosswind, you'll quickly find out what works.
      As for Boeing, yes well.....

    The “tail strike” looked more like a dog dragging his bottom. That aircraft has to majorly comprimised.

    0:55 😳this was a tailstrike? it was a taildrag! 🤭 good that he was able to lift, almost started slowing down because of the friction...

    Usually in these a tail strike is a puff of dust. You blink and you miss it. This one was more a full feature opera. That plane needs a real inspection after that must dragging -- I would think. At leave before I fly on it.

    How that glider didn't get caught in the wake turbulence of the helicopter?

    • @philiphumphrey1548
      @philiphumphrey1548 Před měsícem

      Most of the rotorwash goes downwards, so the glider is probably going to be ok directly behind or just above. But if he gets too low it could be decidedly dodgy.

    That was quite a tail strike by the LATAM.

    That pilot in the LATAM didn’t like the paint job on the tail

    did the LATAM crash eventually, no way there was no structural damage there

    I wonder if air force pilots ever think about just how much money they're being trusted with.
    I've driven commercial vehicles and there is a level of 'it's a working vehicle. It's going to pick up the odd scratch' (although I somehow managed to avoid putting damage on them). But pilots don't have that luxury, despite being in a somewhat similar situation, especially during a conflict.

    the tailstrike was the most dangerous thing i've ever seen -- how can the pilot do that on takeoff and decide to finish the flight??

    I've never seen a glider being towed by a helicopter , just by planes. It's the helicopter not to slow for the glider to fly safely? Also if the towing cable snaps is it not too dangerous in case it gets tangled into the blades?

    I wonder how that "tail strike" felt like from inside the plane, specially for the back rows passengers.

  • @philiphumphrey1548
    @philiphumphrey1548 Před měsícem

    I assume there was a swivel joint in the tow rope between the helicopter and the glider. Otherwise the rope would be winding up like an elastic band on a toy plane and applying all that torsion to the helicopter.

  • @ashleyhoff7561
    @ashleyhoff7561 Před měsícem

    OK, the glider - seems rather risky to me. Surely if he makes a mistake he's taking the Whirly Bird with him?

    that wasn't a tailstrike, this was a RDM (Runway Destruction Maneuver)

    That's not a tailstrike. That's a fissure strike for the people sitting in the back of that LATAM.
