12:09 is where you should skip too to see the divination from centerline. Now, I would like to add this as tittles are limited to 100 characters or less and I don’t want anyone to think I’m suggesting we were in imminent danger here. Because we weren’t. Even if we had a full runway excursion here, we were going slow enough that it would’ve ended up as northing more than a bad PR day for American. In the end, I’m not sure why this “swerve” happened. But something, either the pilots intentionally performing it to avoid something, or some other mechanical force caused the aircraft to push pretty close towards the right edge of the runway after touchdown, during our rollout. When the swerve happened we were still decelerating and the reversers were still activated. The video seems very smooth thanks to the stabilization of the camera, but in reality, this little deviation from the center of the runway was pretty forceful. It pushed people against each other in their seats and initially I had the thought…. “Man we’re still going fast, even for a high speed runway exit.” Then I remembered that XNA doesn’t have any high speed runway exits… In the end, there was never anything mentioned about it from the crew, and I even reached out to some of the people I knew at XNA who worked for Envoy (the ground handlers) to see if anyone had heard anything from the crew, and no one had. So the little mystery here as to why we veered so close to the edge of the runway will likely remain a mystery, but it’s still interesting to theorize what might’ve caused this. Top theories from the TH-cam Short of this landing are… An animal (like a coyote) was on the runway and the crew was avoiding it. Or a possible inconsistency in power coming from each engine as the reversers were deployed still, causing the plane to push hard in one direction. Whatever it was, it sure made for an interesting landing on what was otherwise a pretty typical Alabama landing 🤣. If you watched the whole video you’ll get that reference 😉. Thanks for watching everyone!
@z90777 yeah, as usual, the camera doesn't do stuff like this justice. It was far more forceful than it looked. Also, it's entirely possible that nothing was "wrong." This could've been done on purpose to avoid an animal or something, but since I could never find any more info on it, we'll probably never know haha.
Well I’m guessing if the plane did a turn around after dropping you guys off, it kinda rules out the imbalance of reverse thrust bc they would most likely have to delay or ground the aircraft bc of that. So I would guess that something was on the runway and they tried to swerve around it
@@sethguardado8178 the aircraft did take a delay returning to CLT, but it was a substantial delay that, like you mentioned, I would've expected if there was something mechanically wrong. This is why I led with the theory that there might've been a coyote or stray dog that someone got on the runway. As someone with a lot of experience in airport operations, a coyote is nothing to balk at when in a commercial aircraft. Back when I was still working in ops, coyotes and turkey ends dup being our biggest issues. The coyotes would simply dig out under the fence, no matter how many times we fixed them, and turkey would just fly right over the fence haha Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 ahhh okay so it could really be either if they delayed it due to mechanical issues or swerving due to anything on the runway. The airport I fly out of always has coyotes running across the taxiways. And they even have a den between a taxiway and a runway. I would have to hold short of the runway or execute a go around for them haha
There was a crosswind, but it was very light. You can see the wind sock right before we touchdown and it was barely being moved at all. So, a potential contributing factor, but I don't think it's the main one we're looking for.
Been there 😂. Although I am not a commercial pilot , I did start college with that goal, so I went through a full year of flight training before I switched to aviation management program.
Good views. Some years back, the manager who I work under flew to XNA and visited the Walmart stores. She brought back a lot of souvenirs and gave them to us. I've never been to this area and I haven't been to Arkansas for that matter.
I can recall landing in an Air New Zealand 777-200ER into Vancouver in 2016 and just after touchdown I felt the plane give a noticeable sidways movement may have been a sudden gust but nothing else.
I don't think the wind was a factor here. The winds were basically calm on this day. The windsock you can see right as we're touching down is a limp as could be. I think this was something other than winds.
Hmmm I wonder if someone (cough the guy with 4 stripes cough cough) was looking down instead of up after grabbing the nose tiller 😂 That or the tiller wasnt responding.....she's an old bird. May be getting close to gear overhaul time. The first option is more fun to think about but the later happens more often boooo lol. Great capture as always! Man you've caught some winners over the years LOL
Unexpected freak gust of wind or the pilots avoiding something on the runway. So many things that happen or almost happen everyday on flights that the passengers never know about. In the world of passengers and pilots that information is need to know only. A few years ago I was landing in Singapore late at night (something after midnight) as we came in we flew through, or close to, an electrical storm, they are pretty common in that part of the world. Pilot never mentioned it, like it didn't exist. Lightning doesn't pose much of a threat to modern day aircraft (in most cases) so there was no reason to say anything and potentially panic nervous passenger.
Well, my flights are booked months in advance, and I already have flights filmed for the next couple of months or so. So, I can certainly keep that in mind for the future when I'm building later trips, but right now I can tell you that that will not be a flight that is featured in the next couple of months. Sorry my friend.
That seems to the be the prevailing theory. I suggested it was likely there may have been a coyote or dog or something on the runway. Interesting to theorize for sure! Thanks for watching my friend!
It wasn't really that scary. Most people probably didn't even realize exactly what was happening. As I mentioned in the pinned post, no one was every in danger here. The worst that would've happened was the ride would've gotten a bit bumpy haha. Thanks for watching my friend!
I mean, yeah, but I've been on flights like that before. It was quite scary for me because our flight was literally on the edge and I could feel the jerk of the rudder. Can't blame the pilot, if he used the ILS then it could be the ILS's fault. When I fly in the sim on ILS it sometimes messes up the centerline lol.
Great fly and you're safe! This is why military jets don't have issues with runway excursions thanks to short distance. IMO, military jets are better than commercial aircraft.
Well, it's really not a fair comparison to compare military jets to commercial aircraft as they're not intended to be used in the same ways at all. That said, military jets are not immune to runway excursions. They are just as susceptible to excursions as commercial aircraft given the right scenarios. In fact, just recently, a Navy Boeing P-8 Poseidon overran the runway at Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii, leading to the it ending up in the ocean. You can read about that here: www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2023/11/28/navy-de-fuels-p-8a-poseidon-that-overshot-hawaii-runway/ Anyway, the point is no aircraft are invisible to runway excursions. It depends on a variety of factors including the weather, wind, mechanical issues, pilot training, pilot experience, and many other factors. Thanks for watching my friend!
I believe the proper word in the title should be 'incursion' although how much of an 'EXcursion' it would be to roll off the pavement into the grass at 100mph is to be determined! The initial FA announcement I could not understand due to the PA being wonky although I did clearly hear the follow up announcement "Once again ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to Arkansas" I would suggest your swerve could've been avoiding an animal but perhaps a strong crosswind?
A runway incursion is when an aircraft or a vehicle ends up on a runway when it isn't supposed to be, potentially causing an accident or near miss with another aircraft or vehicle. A runway excursion is a veer off or overrun from the runway surface. So, excursion is definitely the word I want here, as that is what was close to happening. Now if we were swerving to miss another plane then we'd have a runway excursion because of a runway intrusion, and then it'd be super complicated haha. The first PA announcement she said welcome to Alabama. I think the animal example is probably the best option. The wind was a crosswind that day but the winds were super light. barely enough to even move the windsock that can be seen when landing.
That's what happens when you fly with an Atari joystick instead of a control column, over-controlling. If you watch videos of crosswind landings, Airbus aircraft seem to have a harder time than Boeing products, just saying.
Could have been a factor. You can see at 11:51 just before touchdown that the windsock is indication an almost dead crosswind. That said, it wasn't that windy of a day, so it may have been a crosswind, but I don't think it was very strong at all. Thanks for watching my friend!

Dangg that’s crazy yea I can notice it but your camera stabilizing ability is so good that it almost doesn’t even feel like anything’s wrong 😅

Beautiful landing 👌, nice views 👌 👍, enjoyable trip, thanks.
Great landing as always ont he 320 and that near excursion made for a great video keep it up!
How fun lol. If it was really windy, that could be a contributing factor, but the approach didn’t seem to gusty.
There was a crosswind, but it was very light. You can see the wind sock right before we touchdown and it was barely being moved at all. So, a potential contributing factor, but I don't think it's the main one we're looking for.
Super Bacana o Vídeo 😊
12:10 Reminds me of my gusty sideloaded landings during my commercial training when I don’t put enough crosswind corrections 😭
Been there 😂. Although I am not a commercial pilot , I did start college with that goal, so I went through a full year of flight training before I switched to aviation management program.
Good views. Some years back, the manager who I work under flew to XNA and visited the Walmart stores. She brought back a lot of souvenirs and gave them to us. I've never been to this area and I haven't been to Arkansas for that matter.
Well according to the flight attendant we landed in Alabama 😂.
I can recall landing in an Air New Zealand 777-200ER into Vancouver in 2016 and just after touchdown I felt the plane give a noticeable sidways movement may have been a sudden gust but nothing else.

Man you've caught some winners over the years LOL
I guess if you fly 175-200 flights a year, you'll inevitably get some interesting moments, right?? Thanks for watching my friend!
I like it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Northwest Arkansas represent 😀
Northwest Alabama for the win 😂. You know, since they're apparently the same according to the flight attendants here 😂.
Hahaha@@sla31
wow
Excellent capture! Looks like a pilot distraction or an hydraulic malfunction maybe!? Have nice flights! Always thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
100% not a pilot distraction.
I didnt like the way the flap was moving around . looked very loose where the two flaps met.

For your next one can you do a delta fight from Las Vegas to Atlanta or Salt lake city

I've seen a video where this was done intentionally because of some object on the runway.
That seems to the be the prevailing theory. I suggested it was likely there may have been a coyote or dog or something on the runway. Interesting to theorize for sure! Thanks for watching my friend!
Oh, man; I might feel for that one poor Flight Attendant who clearly got their state geography completely botched!
At least they didn't play it off by saying something like Alabama and Arkansas are exactly the same.... Haha 😂.
must have been scary!
It wasn't really that scary. Most people probably didn't even realize exactly what was happening. As I mentioned in the pinned post, no one was every in danger here. The worst that would've happened was the ride would've gotten a bit bumpy haha. Thanks for watching my friend!

It seemed to me that you came in a little hot & the brakes weren't applied till late down the runway. IMO only, not a professional.

As events go that was a non-event!
I literally said that in my pinned comment. It's still interesting to try to debate what might've caused it.
