@@MrT------5743 Flaps don't do anything for steering at any speed. They are either extended or retracted on both wings at the same time. Rudder moved a few degrees either way can have a huge affect on the aircraft.
@@meganryan3316 crabbing's a real term - it just describes the way the plane lands when under severe crosswind conditions. 'Crosswind landing' is just the landing itself if that makes sense :)
All they do is set the autopilot, and turn a autopilot heading knob to turn. And the ATC tells then exactly what heading and altitude to set at every moment. Then they just push auto land when the ATC gets them lined up with the runway. A 4 year old can pilot a airliner, the ATCs are the real heros, they control every plane in the sky at the same time.
@@kamotetops1572 That would be horrorfying if you're taxiing. You're getting ready to get on the runway, and all of a sudden it starts turning or lifting up and turning, and now you're moving wildly with no control
This tilt shift photography, or whatever is giving us this look, makes it look liked these planes are all just floating or doing a vertical takeoff. Very cool to witness.
I've been on a plane when it seems like they are coming down waaay too fast. But, it is probably just an indication of how much wind they are landing in. It does feel scary.
It’s really freaky being onboard for one of these. You’re sure the plane is going to crash bc you’re coming in sideways. It seemed like our plane corrected and touched down at the same time. The landing stuck and we were straight as an arrow. Really weird.
this is really cool! I've always wanted to know how airplanes work, thanks a lot! ( can you make a video on how to make a model plane out of popsicle sticks? )
The landing is not called crabing, It's a crosswind approach and landing. Crab is just the term for flying in a direction that isn't directly forward like Les said, we crab all the time. The simple answer is this: ailerons to control lateral movement (left/right) and rudder to control where the plane is pointing (longitudinal axis). Also known as ailerons for centerline, nose with your toes.
B-52's have landing gear specially designed to land while crabbed. The front and rear wheels can turn sideways to line up with the runway while the plane is flying crabbed.
I feel like EGBB Birmingham Airport should also be credited in the video, as most of the clips used took place there 😂 nice to see the local airport for something!
Crabbing isn’t necessarily the best word. Aircrafts don’t land in a crabbed attitude, it would impose great loads on the main landing gear (wheels like to go straight, not sideways) instead pilots intentionally put the aircrafts in a side slip maneuver on final approach to combat the drift due to xwinds
To do so, there can only be one approach given, even without winds, there might be conditions like too fast, high etc that will cause to go around, you don't wanna smack the plane on top, do you?
Nowadays, automobiles have "Driver Lane Assist" and all these fancy-schmancy things to help you not crash... You'd think that something as sophisticated as a commercial jet airliner would have some sort of a "radar-laser-camera" type thing that actively monitors the yellow dashes on the runway and tries to keep the airplane straight as it's landing!
Pilots and co pilot - keep this steady and tight.. watch your dial and get the plane calm. Passengers internally - oh God.. oh my God!.. ahh! God, please lord.. I dont wanna die.. God.. (plane hits the runway).. Go.. shiiiit! Ah.. God..damn
Circa 2006, I was a passenger on a plane that landed in Florida, and the winds were so severe that the plane had to abort landing and make another approach, and the landing was very rough.
this video needs to be redone. some of the footage elsewhere, particularly the one where the A380 lands with heavy crosswinds - needs an interview with the pilot. 'cause most pilots won't do that - it's too tricky for them. the whole aircraft could be in jeopardy.
Long story short, go to a local airport and talk to a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and ask them how it works. Just read Chapter 8 of the Airplane Flying Handbook and your set. Also RUDDER RUDDER RUDDER
Would it be possible for rotating landing gear that will automaticaly rotate to the direction of straight down the runway? The fuselage can point any direction but the wheels will auto stay in the same direction?
just don't clap unless it was an actual life threatening emergency landing. pilots do like being praised, but they will personally throw you out of the plane at 30,000ft if you clap.
Being a pilot is no mean feat. In general I think being a pilot is fascinating particularly if you fly widebody aircraft like B787, B777, A350, etc and then the superjumbo aircraft like the A380. Not that of course flying a B737 or an A320 narrowbody is nothing. Landing a plane in strong windy conditions with crosswinds must be one of a pilot's biggest challenges.
These info graphic videos are so bad, 1:43 explain they use flight controls to make sure the aircraft is in the perfect landing position, yet showing two hands pushing buttons on the dash.
This is the way to do it. I you don’t flare it isn’t matter what technique you used. Wing down is far more likely to bust a gear leg and rip a wingtip.

And they charge you for the go around.
how did they not mention the use of the rudder????
Luca94 SAMEMRMENBRKSPWKEBBRDK LIKE HOWWWW
@@MrT------5743 yeah but you use your rudder to compensate for the rolling. So during the landing you use your rudder at all time.
Thom Jap rudder yaws the plane, to roll u need aileron control input.
@@MrT------5743 Flaps don't do anything for steering at any speed. They are either extended or retracted on both wings at the same time. Rudder moved a few degrees either way can have a huge affect on the aircraft.
Larry Thielen flaps gives extra lift so plane can approach at lower speed while maintaining positive control. It has nothing to do will yaw.
Ryanair do this even if theres no high winds.
XD
lmaoo
true dat
Well as a former Ryan-air pilot, I can tell you that all Ryan-Air aircrafts must land at 240 knots and 5 degree flaps
d4 that only atleast 500 mph is alowed in landing
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
As a ryanair pilot i can confirm this is an imposter. We land at mach 6.8 no flaps or gear
Not crabbing, strafing
Stupid ryan air pilot lands at 500 and without any flaps
It just works

The landing is also called a crosswind landing
I was so triggered when at the beginning of the video they said crabbing instead of crosswind landing.
@@meganryan3316 crabbing's a real term - it just describes the way the plane lands when under severe crosswind conditions. 'Crosswind landing' is just the landing itself if that makes sense :)
Summary: If it's not windy, your pilot is probably daydreaming during your landing.
Lol
You can not let computer to do it. So I happy to let them daydreaming while there are nothing going on.
Just make sure they can focus on needed.
Probably. Most landings are assisted. Lineup through a Auto system and then guide it the way down.
lmaoo
@@joshuauriarte452 when the plane descends its on a glideslope. a consistent descent rate while slowing down to the desired landing speed.
Love how both pilots are arbitrarily turning knobs at +100’ to “control the plane” @1:58
David Morrison the windshield wipers and seatbelt sign lights sure do help combat crosswinds😂
Haha
Planes don’t land sideways, they approach sideways and use the rudder at around 10ft
Ohhh..snap
I was about to comnent that lmao
Yeah, its called a de-crab maneuver
Yeah. The aircraft manuals describes the "Touchdown In Crab" technique just for prank.

@@fauzan9818 Barely! Maybe the most senior pilots in the best paying airlines.

Well, normally the carriers turn to the wind, so at least there is that.

So that the plane does not land on top and just fall of and die

I landed in Pittsburg one time and I thought we were making a hockey stop. Scary.

Just remember the plane landing on a north south runway is moving 1000 miles an hour “sideways” with the earth…
Amazing

These info graphic videos are so bad, 1:43 explain they use flight controls to make sure the aircraft is in the perfect landing position, yet showing two hands pushing buttons on the dash.
The best landings are with a headwind so strong you start to move backwards relative to the ground. Maybe try landing on a helipad that way 😂
Tell the Alaska airline guys who plowed their landing gear through their wing this week that this is the way to do it.
