Yeah, kudos. He went for the dangerously stormy runway just for the ILS. On second attempt, he landed at the less stormy runway not equipped with ILS. Almost crashed a plane, but hey, kudos.
A great piece of piloting. You gotta love the amount of "experts" here on YT, most of whom have probably never been anywhere near the controls of a real aircraft.
The burning question in my mind is why the pilot carried through with a bad approach for so long. Not that the adverse crosswind wasn't in play, trying to hit the runway after that far off center probably is a mistake that pilot won't soon repeat.
Back on-topic, I saw this footage when it first got posted and it still amazes me that this jockey got away without totalling the whole thing; the aircraft was clearly operating beyond designed sidewind limits, so he should have diverted to an alternate under those circumstances. I'd be interested to find out if an incident report was made at the time, and how the pilot justified his decision to continue the landing with a very heavy into-wind crab approach in gusting conditions. JB.
I really enjoyed the Chariots of fire and the credits. Well done. It's all a matter of personal opinion and ones state of mind. YT doesn't require we all have a degree in video production, just a passion for sharing information. I am always amazed at how pickie some people are. I imagine they are the ones throwing fits when someone leaves the lid off the toothpaste or forgets to turn off a light. No thanks. Life should be enjoy. Less regrets on a death bed~ peace, vickie
This might come as a surprise for you, but: Even kevlar is a plastic (Aramid). Carbon is of course not a plastic, but the composite used for the 787s hull is a plastic composition.
I'm one of the pilots of the A320 (Lufthansa) and with such a small airplane like this plane you haven't to land under this conditions. The A380, will be my new seat*love him*, could land because he is bigger and wont drift away like a A320. But flying is the safest way to "go". ;)
that video is about the case! the pictures are what happened to the wings. look it up: hamburg wingstrike airbus in the video you can see the left wing striking the ground (water spraying), then the pilot steps on the gas (watch the turbines). (a little late, but thats just me.)
yes crosswind landings are demanding even for well trained pilots and here the wind changes direction just before toucht down maybe turbulance caused by those trees this pilot showed great skill this has nothing to do with the make of the aircraft
The co-pilot, a 24 yr old female was at the controls for the landing according to the accident investigation. The pilot took control of the airplane in time to avoid a crash, performed a missed approach and landed safely.
the pilot must have been sweating bullets in that last gust, this is a display of amazing airman-ship. landing conditions were more or less good enough to land but the problem is in a storm winds can gust very suddenly and violently. even a change of 2 or 3 knots can have dramatic effects when landing. yes the wing struck the ground, but he saved the plane and saved lives. his skill shows in the fact that he was able to take off again, not a lack of shown from the wing hitting the ground
If a computer fails you dont get alternate law, ELAC 2 will pass over to ELAC 1. There is no loss of normal law after a single failure. The transfer from normal to alternate laws is automatic and depends on the number and nature of failures.
The 22 Knots isn't set by the manufacturer, its set by the Aviation Authorities to create their own individual Threshold. Its a simple calculation that they devised to stop everybody asking the question, because its just based on the Vso. I think we've reached the surface of our discussion anyway! :o)
@happyninslave I disagree. Watch the rudder and ailerons. The pilot applied left rudder at the last minute and right roll (both normal procedure). The approach looked stable, and the pilot made the correct control inputs, but rarely gusts are so strong that full control input cannot counteract what they do to the plane. Strong crosswind landings are commonplace and generally safe. I think this was a severe gust at the worst moment with a quick recovery. No major mistake. No need for insults. :o)
Possibly, Im an airline pilot and currently finishing my masters in aviation management, and their main goal is to find a human responsible for an accident or incident. In this case it would be the captains fault for not calling a GA earlier, it wasnt until he had lost control over the landing and hit the wing that he called a GA, an experienced captain should have enough experience in cross wind landings to know when to abort- and thats not after youve already smashed the wing into the ground
OMG so it touched the runway... they were so lucky... I guess that the music is for a kind of miracle or achievement right? well thank god that that plane didn't crashlanded... cheers
No fatal accident since 1993. That was a runway overrun, killing the co-pilot and one passenger. Before that it was 1979, crashing after takeoff, no passengers killed, but 3 crew members. That's why i always fly Lufthansa, best damn arline.
It's funny how in these videos people complain about the music (well I think it's bad too) but at the same time it has over a million views. I doubt the video maker cares any more :P
Yes, the reason is that 737 is in production since 1968 while A320 was introduced in 1988. So, two times as long production for 737 but not even near 2 times as many aircraft sold - yea your are right, the 737 is really better selling. Please just acknowledge that you are fighting a losing battle.
If you knew anything about airbus you would know that the winglet is bolted on and can fly without it. According to reports, the slat and slat track were damaged. In the real world we call "metallurgic" inspections NDT, though depends what Bus say.
Lufthansa Said that a 24 year old girl was in control of the aircraft in that moment. Pilot's did a great job and the reason why the plane was not able to climb again so fast, was that the plane touched down, therefore the airbus switched from "takeoff" into "ground" position (some ppl. will now the indicator on the PFD when you touch down it says: "ROLL OUT")
I have a question isn't it better if u are a pilot to try and if u see the landing is very dangerous wait till the weather gets a bit better and try again instead of risking passengers' lives... ( I know some flights take like 2 days but still 20 minutes more won't make a difference but save lives) just wondering
Again: This accident was caused by a (attention:) SUDDEN windshear. It was not predictable and thus not the pilots fault. Also again: Boeing planes are no less computerized than Airbus planes. They are just older, the newer Boeings are also fly-by-wire aircraft (which by the way makes them alot safer than the planes of the past). Please link me to the statistic you are referring to, I would love to see it. 777 is extraordinarily safe, but that's it. The rest crash just like any other plane.
I know that is the official saying of the ntsb, but Flight 587 was at 250KTS, 20KTS below Va and full surface movement is allowed below Va.. I guess something else had already weakened that Tail in order to snap like that.
@oldsal30 You're making the wrong comparison: both the 767 and 747 are widebodies. Large aircraft. The A320 is a much smaller narrowbody. Widebodies are always quieter than narrowbodies on the inside. If you want to compare, compare the A320 to the 737, the A330 to the 767 and the A340 or A380 to the 747. You'll then notice that in each case, the Airbus is actually the quietest one.
Good grief! Lucky there was a brilliant pilot and an amazingly strong wing design; not to mention great bowel control amongst the passengers (and crew).
@ready2 Well maybe they couln't make a TO GA ( if you know what that is ) becuse they had been in the holding pattern for too long and more bad weather was coming in? And again, I'm not talking about the crosswind, I'm talking about a shiftwind, which is impossible to see coming. Or how do you know if that plane wasnt struck by a microburst?
Not too sure about the limitations of the individual aircraft, is the vs0x0.2 universal for all aircraft? I would think the structural limitation would taper off as the type of aircraft become larger. Flight 1420 was an MD-82 I believe, not heavy metal by any stretch of the imagination. 22 knots for an A320 seems rather conservative, but I'm not an aeronautical engineer.
I see! Thanks for the info! Might have known it comes down to Insurance and so on eh! Must be some heavy metal to land at 35 Knot crosswind though eh? A320-200 certainly isn't an aircraft that is rated to such a high crosswind speed as per my calculation. Is there a conversion for this on the CRP-5, dont think there is on my CRP-1? I'm currently learning to fly at EGBO, only going to JAR-PPL, but still interested in the information in a CPL's arsenal. Thx.
@SaltehCrab this wasnt a crash. just an aborted, attempted crosswind landing that resulted in a minor wing strike. the plane kept flying after the wing strike. Do you work for Olympic or something?
Carbon is a plastic. Plastic is per definition a synthesized material, which the carbon out of which the 787 is made of is. Far more then 80% of the 787 are carbon btw, only very limited parts are aluminum that are of extreme importance for the stability of the airplane.
Maybe so, but that's implying every gust or wind occurrence can be foreseen, and they can't be. Weather is an inexact science. And I would agree that the plane shouldn't leave the ground under such conditions, but that plane was landing.
the computer did "fail". there are news on this case! it took over one year to get this: because one tire hit the ground, the computer went in "ground mode" and therefore the machine had much less steering capabilities. so now we get a discussion about the power of computers in planes.
I probably should have made more sense the first time. In a pilot's flightbook that he gets from the airline, there is somewhere in there that says "do not attempt to land in a crosswind of x knots or above". If they do attempt a landing in a dangerous condition where they land beyond the recommended crosswind threshold speed, they will most likely be fired. For example, I believe company policy for American Airlines is 35 knots. I'm not sure how much it varies from airline to airline.
@SaltehCrab Its cool. I was just suggesting that the pilot did the best he could given the circumstances, and probably only had a few shots to try and land the plane. He was pretty much on the ground, he just didnt put one wing down right, and he ended up catching left at a bad angle, and bad time. I first saw this on the top ten crosswind landings.
awesome awesome job on the pilots part to keep that bird in the air and preventing a crash. They realized their situation and honestly pulled a miracle off. Some people say that they werent that special yeah right ok whatever let me see them folks fly that plane and not crash at that moment GREAT JOB PILOTS
I totally agree they shouldn't have gotten themselves in such dire situation. However, I believe the PF, was confident enough to land the jet during that final approach just that probably the shear wind came in out of nowhere???
@pietruski she was good! It had been a lady on the controles on the right seat. The crew (captain and pilot) )was aware that this would be a tough problem to solfe and they brought down the plane very safe after the go around.
Actually believe it or not, the acceptable crosswind landing threshold is determined by the airline, not the manufacturer, since landing in bad crosswinds have more to do with pilot skill than anything.
@rustlerboi1052 yeah I understand what you'r saying, I'd have to say I do like airbus but I don't like how the controls are not phisicaly connected to the pilot.
the only thing that explains this is that it's an airbus dealing with crosswinds and not a boeing, and jets are not supposed to have joystics. And no, I am not american
You have to Read the BFU Report (German NTSB). Yes, it was a Female FO (24y) on the stick, but she was not the problem. At the moment, where the left Gear touched the Ground, the Plane changed from flight mode to ground mode. In the ground mode every action at the stick and pedal is reduced to 50%. But Airbus keep that information. So nobody was aware on that behave.
@Carmen1995ful Oh yeah? So this is standard procedure at lufthansa? To smash your left wing into the tarmac? Also the captain could land in the next try without any problem and the female co-pilot couldn't. What does that tell you? It shows to me that the female co-pilot was way over her head and shouldn't have attempted the landing. (and the captain shouldn't have let her)
A good example of what happens when you try to land in conditions where crosswinds are over the maximum recommendation is American Airlines flight 1420. One of the causes for the crash was that they tried to land the plane with crosswinds gusting to 44 knots, well over the maximum acceptable rate. When airlines put a maximum allowable condition for landing, it covers their asses legally if the plane was to crash in bad weather conditions. So it comes down to money, as do most things.
The pilot made the mistake of allowing the upwind wing to catch the crosswind during the transition from the crab to the slip. That was bone-headed. He let the downwind gear touch before trying to transition. That guarantees you can't keep the upwind wing lowered. Pilot error, all the way.
All your comments are understandable , but the pilot has to make a decission in order to save his passengers. If you were in that moment, flying that aircraft carrying all those humans being, then you can say something . You must to live such a hard situation like that, to make any adulation about it. By the way .. I´m not a pilot...They do an excellent job...Tough profession let me tell you all!
i love this music!!!! anyone knows who is the author of it??? thanks and it could happen to any pilot in such a bad weather conditions. no matter if pilot is a man or woman.
@happyninslave Ummmm that was a bitchin crosswind that caused the wingstrike. Had you seen the whole approach - this is only part of it - you'd have seen the skill of the man. No mistake made. You can't get away from Mother Nature. Hats of to the pilot.
The wing and all seats had to be replaced...
Rest in peace XD
Kudos to the pilot! Not many pilots would have landed a plane in so strong crosswind. He did it eventually.
Yeah, kudos. He went for the dangerously stormy runway just for the ILS. On second attempt, he landed at the less stormy runway not equipped with ILS. Almost crashed a plane, but hey, kudos.
@@petermuller5800And kudos to the music!

A great piece of piloting. You gotta love the amount of "experts" here on YT, most of whom have probably never been anywhere near the controls of a real aircraft.
Plane got that crazy that close to the tarmac and he still saved it.. Skills!!!

It's testamount to modern engineering that no serious events happened from that massive crosswind landing!
The co-pilot, a 24 yr old female was at the controls for the landing according to the accident investigation. The pilot took control of the airplane in time to avoid a crash, performed a missed approach and landed safely.
If you take a look out the port window you will see that we are all about to die. Have a great day and thank you for flying Lufthansa Airlines.

Actually believe it or not, the acceptable crosswind landing threshold is determined by the airline, not the manufacturer, since landing in bad crosswinds have more to do with pilot skill than anything.
the first image is an image of the winglet of the left wing. (winglets are those little tips at the end of the wings)

FYI: Pilot flying was actually the copilot, a FEMALE in her mid 20s. Another reason why women should be expressly forbidden from flying or driving.

Bullshit, she saved the plane. You’re just one ignorant SOB, the problem was poor training offered by Airbus (like the Max), software, and weather.
Wow very bloody crosswind!
What you saw there was it's actual winglet... Only the below side was damaged... :)
@Sammyy46 Where in the under the video ?????
Why have you Blurred out the other wheel? you can see the outline
those passengers were freaking out.
@happyninslave Ummmm that was a bitchin crosswind that caused the wingstrike. Had you seen the whole approach - this is only part of it - you'd have seen the skill of the man. No mistake made. You can't get away from Mother Nature. Hats of to the pilot.
Hah the music!! i remember hearing it when i use to play NES it was in the javelin thrower game XD
