Beautiful landing. Despite the heavy crosswind, kept a stabilized approach all the way down, not to mention that he hand flew that bad boy from around 2000 feet!
For smaller GA aircraft landing in a crosswind there is a chance that wind on the upwind side could lift a wing causing a loss of control or in extreme conditions lifting a wing tip enough to strike the ground. In larger transport category aircraft crews are advised to use only enough wheel inputs so as to maintain wings level. Large control wheel inputs can have an adverse effect on directional control near VMCG due to the additional drag of the extended spoilers. (With an engine failure, directional control could be made more difficult with full aileron inputs at critical airspeeds during the takeoff) During landing crews should only use what is required to keep wings level, often times its not much, since the spoilers will usually destroy any lift upon touchdown.
+Chris Stromberg Bottom line, use aileron into the wind so you touchdown with the longitudinal axis parallel to the runway. I flew B777, B767, B757, etc for a major airline for 33 years. I taught all those airplanes in the sim also for 22 years. We would inject slippery runways with stiff crosswinds. To keep the planes from going off the side of the runway, you use the same technique as GA. Also flew and taught GA in college before flying for the Navy. I usually saw that a GA pilot would do a better job in crosswinds on a slippery than their counterpart from the military. In GA, you HAD to fly in crosswinds everyday. The winds much more affected the little guys and I found their technique was often better than the military jocks. They were just dealing with winds on landing 100% of the time. In the Navy, the skipper just turned the boat into the wind. Less crosswind as a result. I understand VMCG, etc and the aero of the crosswinds. I have a BS and MS in Aero Engineering.
+Chris Stromberg Between you and me... I usually found the GA pilot better in crosswinds than the military guy when I was teaching in the 777.. They just had more real plane flying. The military guys had advantages over the GA guys in many other areas, but for just basic crosswind landings on slippery runways, it was much easier for the GA guy to consistently do well. I hope my Navy buddies can't find me. Good luck to you. Bill.
Not an easy job folks NOT an easy job...!!! They deserve FAR FAR more credit then there given. And that goes for the flight attendants as well not just the pilots. After all they have our LIVES in there hands...(g)
Tom, it is 85-95% easy and you know it. Like many jobs, you obey technology. Severe weather is troublesome, yes, but pilots are generally trained well enough on Sims that one or two real-time attempts make you proficient enough. Yes, lives at stake, so thanks to pilots doing their jobs, and thanks to my Uber drivers for doing theirs too!
Never even crossed my mind that the wipers would be so out of whack and annoying, i wonder how it is on other planes because just in those 4 minutes they annoyed the ish out of me. Smooth flying and landing in those conditions. Great job.
A most beautiful/great landing under extremely difficult circumstances - turbulence, low visibility, icy conditions slippery runway, a very large heavy plane, crosswinds. These pilots were awesome.
I loved riding in DC-10's as a passenger and enjoyed the pilots skill and hands in this video. As an amateur aviation enthusiast, I wonder how pilots who've flown both aircraft types compared the handling of the planes after the DC-10 cockpits were converted to MD-11 instrumentation, as I assume this plane was.
I'm currious about an airplane windshield. When you are sitting on any side of the cockpit you could see the runway centerline always on your center sight. Is there a specialized glass on airplane windshield?
it appears to be faster, because in the smaller screen, the wipers are smaller. they move at same speed, but it looks faster. Like the A380 on final looks slower than the 737 at same speed :P
Aero 101... It keeps the longitudinal axis of any plane right down the center. Right at touchdown, when the speeds are high, you will prevent the nose crabbing into the wind. On a dry runway, it feels like a crummy landing. On a wet, slippery or icy runway, keeping the longitudinal axis parallel with the runway prevents loss of control and departing the runway.
Das ist schon sehr interessant, wie da bei der MD 11 im Landeanflug noch gearbeitet werden muss... Sie ist schon sehr speziell, aber mir gefällt sie einfach. Ich hoffe doch sehr, dass man diese Maschinen, trotz Ausflottung, noch ein paar Jahre am Himmel und auf dem Boden sehen kann. Unter wirtschaftlichen Aspekten betrachtet, hat sich die LCAG, glaube ich, mit der B 777F für die wohl beste und effizienteste Frachtmaschine, die es derzeit auf dem Markt gibt, als Nachfolger der MD 11 entschieden. Und mal ganz ehrlich: Schön ist dieser große Vogel ja auch... Vielen Dank jedenfalls an PilotsTubeHD für dieses großartige und spannende Video! Wirklich toll!
Die kommenden Versionen der B777 sind wirklich anspruchsvoll und state-of -the-Art . Ich frage mich, ob die neuen vorhandenen Fahrgast 777 ersetzen wird , und wenn die vorhandenen Fahrgast 777 wird Frachtflugzeuge werden . Liebte die DC-10 trotz einiger schrecklich stürzt ab.

This is a great video for non-pilots that want to see how a jumbo jet really handles. If you watch the F/O's roll inputs on the yoke and then look out the window you can see the slight delayed response of the aircraft.
Wow! Now for my question; is it possible for the aircraft to "Auto Land" in these conditions while making a CAT III approach? I do know that visibility probably wouldn't be that low due to the wind conditions. Just Curious... 😎
there is a ton of information on wikipedia about the MD-11. There a lot of videos too. From what I've read, the MD-11 is not a very forgiving plane in terms of landings.
Ich glaube, die MD 11 muss von den Piloten mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit gelandet werden. Zudem hat sie an den Tragflächen kleinere Steuerflächen, wodurch das Flugzeug schwerer zu kontrollieren ist, als andere Maschinen. Diese Maschine erfordert also die ganze Aufmerksamkeit und das Können der Piloten. Mit anderen Worten: Die MD 11 ist der Porsche unter den Flugzeugen!
How the hell are you pilots able to determin the descent? So that the plane will touch down exactly where it should? I will probably never understand that. To you it must be a piece of cake I guess as well as a result of hard and frequent training, but I am not a pilot so I always adore what you're doing!
Even with a smaller Aircraft like lets say a Cessna 182? I really don't know anything about aviation unfortunately. But I am a very good musician, but I really enjoy spotting aircraft and flying as a passenger.
You pick a spot on the runway and aim for it. If you've ever seen colored lights off to the side of the runway they provide the pilot with feedback so he knows if he is too high or too low on the glide path.
Rookies! I could've aced it. No problem. In a storm with no runway lights. Heavy bird strike also with 500 gallons of spilled oil on the runway!! With one hand tied behind my back all while some kid in the back screaming crying. 🤣👍 Just kidding, but I am a skilled pilot.
Very smooth landing considering the adverse weather conditions! Great skill - excellent pilots!!
thanks! great to hear that :)
Wow! Great to see it from the pilot's point of view, hard work and skill 😀 Thanks for sharing 😀
Beautiful landing. Despite the heavy crosswind, kept a stabilized approach all the way down, not to mention that he hand flew that bad boy from around 2000 feet!
i wish more passengers knew the amount of input from the pilots these landings take. the right
seat yoke was insane, very good job.
bro,it was a cargo plane....
@@callmebrine_1462 oh so passenger planes don’t have pilots?
@@thejackbox When did anyone say that now?
@@callmebrine_1462 that was sarcasm... the pilots of passenger planes have to make the same inputs.
@@thejackbox I know it was and i was being sarcastic too lol
Lob vom Käptn ".. Sehr schön geflogen!" :)
Thanks for this great moment of landing procedure to EDDF
Wicked! MD-11 is such a rare sight these days...Nice...
Finally a pilot that keeps the aileron into the wind throughout the entire landing roll. Basic 101.. I've seen many airline crews that don't..shame.

Excellent points William. As a CFII/MEI and current Boeing operator I can attest to what you are saying about GA pilots.

Yeah I noticed that too. Not only that but he gradually took it out as the plane slowed , like your suppose to do.

Im so glad to see an airline pilot using ailerons into the wind during landing roll. Great job!!
You are absolutely right. This guy did a great job.

I tought the md11 was compleet retired until I saw this vid. I freaking love this plane
Joshua Davidson cheers!
A most beautiful/great landing under extremely difficult circumstances - turbulence, low visibility, icy conditions slippery runway, a very large heavy plane, crosswinds. These pilots were awesome.
Loved it, the wipers were funny. I would have been filming from my window.
Damn Germans always do everything perfectly!
Love Lufthansa!

As an amateur aviation enthusiast, I wonder how pilots who've flown both aircraft types compared the handling of the planes after the DC-10 cockpits were converted to MD-11 instrumentation, as I assume this plane was.
The DC-10's with upgraded avionics (instruments) are called MD-10's.
Vistamister this plane was the md-11, not a md-10
I'm currious about an airplane windshield. When you are sitting on any side of the cockpit you could see the runway centerline always on your center sight. Is there a specialized glass on airplane windshield?
Any landing you walk away from is a good landing.
No, it's not.
LegendLength LMAO
Elaine Frantz an when you can use the plane again afterwards its a perfect landing :D
Will definitely miss the 10s’ when they are gone!😕😕. I grew up with the planes. Uncle was a Western DC-10 Captain.
I love the warnings sounds
Excellent cockpit video! Greetings from Finland.
+Fin Aviation thanks :)
Look at the pilot and Co-pilot input, flying by the seat of your pants, well done.
i cant watch this video because the wipers arent synchronized
Moron!
it means that the video isnt synchronous and therefore you dunno whats really happening. moron.
they are 99,9% synchronized. the one in the small pic is just "shorter", so it looks faster.
*****
what you mean?
if it is shorter ...
it appears to be faster, because in the smaller screen, the wipers are smaller. they move at same speed, but it looks faster. Like the A380 on final looks slower than the 737 at same speed :P
Great landing, great video!

Fantastic action! Great video> Great plane!
Thank You!
Ah that MD is a tank. Love to have a go at landing that, but with slightly more wind and a bit more slush on the ground :)
Light chop with a crosswind from the left. Well done.
+Gerard Moran thank you!

Great landing at EDDF! Lufthansa Cargo MD-11
Thinkfor Yourself md 11
Thinkfor Yourself md-11
It almost look as if the control gauges where going haywire. Great landing. I bet they had a drink afterwards.
That's just because of the video sync and the cockpit screen refresh rates.
Impressive, great stick control.
Great skiils by the pilots
Perfect landing
Awesome footage, thanks for sharing!
+RVNspotting thank you very much :)
Aus welchem Grund wird vom First Officer kurz nach dem Touchdown das Steuerhorn komplett nach links gedrückt?
+Paraneu größtenteils, damit der Wind (von links) die like fläche nicht anhebt. Mit Querruder im Wind hält man die Karre stabiler auf der Bahn.
+PilotsTubeHD Vielen Dank 👍
this F/O is obviously skilled.
100% agreed
Well done. Outstanding CRM.
that moment looked terrifying
Wow! Now for my question; is it possible for the aircraft to "Auto Land" in these conditions while making a CAT III approach? I do know that visibility probably wouldn't be that low due to the wind conditions. Just Curious... 😎
WOW . It's Incredible likes Working the hands
Well done, perfect landing. Great video.
+jillyjom webb great to hear that! Thanks :)
It's amazing we use wipers at all, and yes nice lean on ailerons
Well done captains ! 💪🙏👍
incredible skill - well done!
Absolutely amazing mate! Keep it up
thanks!
One my favorite planes! Pilots are earning their paychecks
mine compliments gentleman.super landing.thanks.
+MrPeerum absolutely! thanks for watching :)
why were they using wipers? the window we were looking thru was perfectly clear.
Die gute alte MD 11
The good old MD 11
But the inset video is a DC-10. (3:00 minutes)
it's not :)
DC-10 has no winglets
Dangerous Bill it is not a dc-10
Good controling by the pilots ! (Nice video)
Great landing
Well done! Good pilot.
ive heard that landing an MD-11 is harder than other commercial aircrafts like 737 and 320s,is that true?
there is a ton of information on wikipedia about the MD-11. There a lot of videos too. From what I've read, the MD-11 is not a very forgiving plane in terms of landings.
he worked that stick all the way to the runway. nice.
great filming
Very nice footage
Ms-11,so schön. Ist das mit GoPro aufnimmt?
+tohaklim Ja mit einer Hero4 :)
good man to you Mr 1st Officer -
I dont know what pilot was crazy enough to disengage the autopilot so far out in that piss storm but whoever he is owed a beer.
That_llama_in_a_tuxedo flying manual is how you train. Idk why you are so dumb...
Wow, working that thing hard!
I am wondering if an Airbus pilot is still able to fly a yoke under this bad weather...?
That was a firm landing..
Wow rough approach but still nice landing
Wonderschönes flugzeug
That was great I wonder how the pilots felt , I they were nervous at all ?
You're too busy to get nervous.
Amazing job..I tip my hat
Well done!
Fantastic!
Der Ruf ist , dass dieses Flugzeug bei der Landung schwer zu landen?
Schwerer als andere Flugzeuge bestimmt. Alles eine Frage des Trainings :)
Ich glaube, die MD 11 muss von den Piloten mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit gelandet werden. Zudem hat sie an den Tragflächen kleinere Steuerflächen, wodurch das Flugzeug schwerer zu kontrollieren ist, als andere Maschinen.

Well done, good job
ILS approach in IMC conditions
`Nice and smooth landing.....
Respect very hard work
Great video man!
Amazing!!

To you it must be a piece of cake I guess as well as a result of hard and frequent training, but I am not a pilot so I always adore what you're doing!
+Andreas Hoppe ILS gives them the perfect descent path, although not every airport has ILS.
Even with a smaller Aircraft like lets say a Cessna 182? I really don't know anything about aviation unfortunately. But I am a very good musician, but I really enjoy spotting aircraft and flying as a passenger.
You keep playing the tunes, I'll keep landing the jets. That's what makes the world go 'round!
true haha.
You pick a spot on the runway and aim for it. If you've ever seen colored lights off to the side of the runway they provide the pilot with feedback so he knows if he is too high or too low on the glide path.
Omg the out-of-sync windscreen wipers are making me crazy 😖
Perfect landing.
coming in really fast--- but then again thats what md 11's do well
good work!!
Good job, chaps! 👍🏻
clean landing
Very good!!!
How can you land a Plane in foggy weather, virtually no visualization there
THOSE WIPERS ARE DISTRACTING ME !
Great Job
Rookies!
I could've aced it.
No problem. In a storm with no runway lights. Heavy bird strike also with 500 gallons of spilled oil on the runway!! With one hand tied behind my back all while some kid in the back screaming crying. 🤣👍
Just kidding, but I am a skilled pilot.
Beliissimaaaaaaaa Grazie
Nice landing
well done!
nice kiss captain!!! it's awesomeeee!!!
which date was this recorded?
That must be lufthansa right?
looked like a good landing to me in all that bad weather
Why does his screen look like it's going crazy? Is that just the camera?
Yea it is, I saw an old video of a pilot doing his last KLM MD-11 landing and same thing there.
Pilots.......very well done!
DAMN that was cool clip
Why is it that some instruments momentarily black out or just flash like crazy?
pretty much any camera pointed at a CRT monitor does that.
***** so it is the normal visual effect you get when filming your laptop screen! thank you!
It's because it's continuously scanning so fast that a human eye can't see it.
The frequencies are close between the camera and the screen or display.
Cristian Bustos that's the camera not the displays
which aircraft is it boeing 727??
title literally said md 11
