Additionally, there is no blast pad or overrun area for this runway.

      Landing performance (speeds and distance) is calculated before each and every approach. The performance is calculated with a touchdown in the touchdown zone. If the numbers dont allow for a landing then either request a different runway or divert.
      A landing "on the numbers" like these pilots here performed is anything but professional judgement. The only excuse would be a negative wind gust that let them sink more than expected.

    • @boahneelassmal
      @boahneelassmal ปีที่แล้ว

      As Pfleger Film pointed out LDA is always mentioned beginning from the TDZ and with a few other deductions it is usually wildly shorter than runway length.
      If LDR is at or above LDA you must not land on this runway and this decision making is part of the approach briefing. Easy at that. If the numbers technically fit but it is kinda close, it is indeed a judgement call but especially days with meteorological events (wind, rain, snow, basically anything that could potentially delay touchdown or decrease braking action) you should add a little bit of a safety margin on top of the already included safety margin.

      Remember, as well, that when the aircraft first touches down, there is very little weight on the wheels. At that moment, the full momentum of the plane will sheer off anything upright as it moves forward, but it's not going to sink into soft mud like a car would if it suddenly drove off of the pavement; at touchdown, the wings are still carrying very nearly all of the weight.

    Landing a wide body on a 6600 feet runway is a bit tight, even with a strong head wind. Tempting to do something a little different to a normal landing; aim for the numbers maybe. Combine that with the guaranteed windshear you get with strong winds like this and trouble is brewing. I wonder why runway 24 was not in use? No ILS, but it does have 11300 feet of runway and an RNP approach.

If there was wind sheer, it (obviously?) happened right at the very last minute, so there was no time to go around. As for nobody feeling it - what would they have felt?

      It depends on what you mean by "their record". Internally, it'll be a matter for the airline to keep track of for a short time, especially if remedial training is deemed necessary. Beyond that, it's unlikely that it'll last long in anyone's memory. The FAA doesn't keep a "rap sheet" of mistakes. If they think a pilot is unsafe, they can take certificate action, but that seems very far-fetched in this situation. In other words, if either of these pilots were to apply with another airline in a year or two or ten, this wouldn't come up. I'd go so far as to guess that the pilots, themselves, will have forgotten about it within a few months and only reflect upon it if they're ever faced within landing under similar circumstances in the future. Remember that they probably didn't even know that there was a problem until someone told them about it afterwards.

    One thought, with such strong winds, is that it could have been a wind shear. That doesn't really make sense though, since they would surely have extra speed for precisely that reason. Otherwise there really is no reason to touch it down so early. Outside of PPL training (or coming into a very short runway), there is no reason to land on the threshold. If you aim for the 1,000 foot markers, then even if you misjudge it or you get wind shear, you still have 1,000 margin before hitting the grass

    As many are saying possibly a combination of factors such as gusty conditions (almost certainly played a role) and maybe trying to touchdown early due to short runway (hopefully they did not try this). If they had a strong headwind which suddenly dropped off due to gusts, their airspeed would also drop with it possibly causing a sink. If autothrust was disengaged (unlikely) the effect would be even worse due to no ground speed mini.

    • @marksanders768
      @marksanders768 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's no way you would use auto-anything in a landing like this (winds were gusting to 38 knots). This was a hand-flown approach. Automatic landings are for still, calm conditions, usually when visibility is very poor - not for wind storms. Some airlines go so far as to prohibit autoland operations in conditions like these.

    • @malmo66
      @malmo66 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@marksanders768 it’s not an autoland I am talking about. Airbus recommendation is to use autothrust in gusty conditions because of a feature called groundspeed mini. It gives you extra buffer of additional airspeed in gusty conditions so that if the wind drops off your airspeed is not dangerously low. You can see more if you Google it. Basically it adjusts the approach speed depending on current gusts experienced. It also allows you to keep a higher thrust throughout the approach regardless of wind which helps for a quick go around decision (engines take a while to spool up to TOGA so idle thrust can be dangerous).

      This is a misconception about aiming points. They are for visual reference only; there is no rule requiring that you actually aim for them. On short runways, crews are trained to land short.

      a) I suspect because they had a spotter (not meaning the plane hobbyists outside the perimeter) nearby seeing the debris and signalled it only got that far.
      b) Schiphol is a wind-sensitive airport (which is why it has runways in every likely wind direction) so not all runways can be used at all times
      c) the reason why the Oostbaan (Runway 04) is in use at the moment is because of lengthy maintenance on one of the preferred runways; the Zwanenburgbaan (Runway 18C/36C). The Oostbaan is one of the older runways (basically the only visible remaining part of the Schiphol of before 1967) and these days primarily in use for general aviation, so commercial use of the runway only happens when there are hardly other options. Because of how busy Schiphol is - and considering wind limitations - I think the only other option was to keep the three planes in a waiting pattern to go to one of the remaining runways. But those were already quite crowded at that moment and it's difficult to say if they had the fuel levels to do so.
      These three are likely to have played an important rol in the decision making to let those three aircraft pass by before closing the runway.
