There's something that feels very American about flying in the midwest in an MD-80/Boeing 717. They are just not very common in other parts of the world
Kinda old school here, but I'll accept +/- 5 knots since it averages out with an adequate buffer. Auto-throttles are always chasing that 2 or 3 kt deviation. It makes for needless thrust variations.
I was always constantly adjusting power to maintain glide slope while learning to land the C172. It got to the point where my instructor threatened to slap my hand if I was constantly moving the throttle on final.
Yeah. It's kinda hard to believe the wind was gusting that much, and the intervals at which power fluctuated tells me the pilot flying had trouble knowing how to maintain a stable approach. FCOM is your friend, they even have power setting suggestions
Had a pilot do that recently on my first leg from Lexington ky into atl swear to go between that and him tosssing the 717-200 all over on final I about got sick. I finally got to a point that yup this is it there’s no way this guy is landing with out a wreck aka delta btw .. horrible horrible flight! One of the single worst I’ve been on other than the next one which was a 767-400er to Amsterdam. We went up to 15,000ft then lost 5,000 due to turbulence! Horrible weather conditions at Atlanta so turbulent there hate it! I’ve flown in and out of there tons of times being prior military. But I think honestly it’s gotten way more turbulent even since then horrible! Why delta insists on flying into the most horrible turbulence idk 🤷♀️ they never used to do that so often. The landing into atl on the 717 left me so white nuckled I was in a panic after and could hardly eat . Thankfully we ended up landing safely obviously but the teacher was right to teach you that !! Sounds like a good trainer! All that engine fluctuation did was toss us about and freak everyone cuz it felt very out of control as if you said exactly the pilot was inexperienced and didn’t know what he was doing.. which sadly I expect more from a delta flight than that…
From the looks of it, it was super windy and they probably detected a wind shear ahead, so they did a go around. Even the second attempt looked scary and the landing was pretty rough.
The engine noise you hear is the flight crew adjusting the thrust in order to stay at a specific speed for final approach. This is very common, especially when severe wind is present. There are no exact calculations for thrust settings, but there is a final approach speed which must be followed relatively precisely - in order to maintain that speed, many thrust inputs may be used. The reason for the go-around is hard to say, but most go-arounds are called by approach (ATC tower which handles inbound aircraft), and it could be related to a runway incursion, aircraft on runway, wind shear, or, as you said may have been called by a captain who was uncomfortable with the approach.
Not a 707 and not even a Boeing (originally at least) - this is a DC-9 derivative, probably a 717 (they renamed it after Boeing bought McDonnell-Douglas).
Fascinated with Jets and flying love hearing from pilots. Had a chance to talk with one for a couple hours and it was a fantastic conversation. Thank you for you're input sir.
There’s a thing called auto throttle. Turn it on, set the speed to say, 140 kts. Should the plane be a little fast or slow, it will make even the tiniest adjustments by increasing or decreasing the thrust.
Nice aircraft. Just came back from Chicago on a Delta 717-200. Rolls-Royce turbofans. Very nice. The front end looks like space shuttle.
Andrew Piatek I hope you had a nice flight ✈️
@@TimmyAlden Yeah, very smooth flight. 717-200 is a beautiful aircraft.
Right? That's why I love thia plane!
love love love the MD 95/717

the same can be said about how European it is to fly in an A340. They aren't common here in the US
@@drdenbow5667there are more 340’s right now over American than over Europe 🤦♂️
Those Rolls Royce joints really pump🥰
Yes they are !
Gorgeous engine sounds

Those engines must've gone to the gym 4 times a week....lol...🤡☺️😁👍🏼
So what happened?
Nice aircraft b717
that was a little bit of a rough landing on that 2nd attempt 😭😭
Traffic on the runway, Go around
do you mean a go around?
Samething.
Which Boeing 717 was this I just flew in N934AT and N949AT last week
I was always constantly adjusting power to maintain glide slope while learning to land the C172. It got to the point where my instructor threatened to slap my hand if I was constantly moving the throttle on final.
Saaaaaaame

@@abbiebenjamin3069 Think about train or bus for your next trip.
@@abbiebenjamin3069you didn’t lose 5000ft due to turbulence, the plane would have been a disaster and wouldn’t have completed the trip.
Cool video 👍 subscribed
Captain Steven Markovich thank you Steven
Appreciate
It looks like a large metro area.
bill cleland, yeah no it doesn’t.
nice,2 herclues 130 planes.
Wow I missed the ride.. nice view
I like B717
omg that was insufferable.
Ali, What was the reason for the go around? Sounds like the flight crew was way off there numbers by the sound of the engines?

that is the auto thrust .it keeps the aproach speed. i flew on one . it got pretty abnoxious on and off 50 times on a approach
There was an aircraft on the runway. If you listen closely that's what the captain said.
YUK! another back seat driver throwing shade on a flight crew.
Not a 707 and not even a Boeing (originally at least) - this is a DC-9 derivative, probably a 717 (they renamed it after Boeing bought McDonnell-Douglas).
MD-95
Yes, this was originally part of the DC9 family. Wasn’t very popular until a few years ago.
Steven Phillips were have you been? They have always been very popular
Ultrametric what do you mean probably a 717 it literally says it in the description... and quite obviously not a 707... ???
The selling point for these original DC-9’s was their ability for short runway usage.
The wing seems old and dirty
02Nawal yes they are actually!
These planes were purchased from AirTran. So they do have a little age.
No the speed brake silly.
Boeing is just TOP quality.this is super to see him stil fly.mine compliments to Boeing.graeth!!!!
MrPeerum Not actually a Boeing aircraft.. it’s Just called a Boeing after they bought out McDonald Douglas
It’s an md 95 silly.
McDonnell Douglas.
but when he is landed clean the wings.al that filty shit.
MrPeerum, It’s a speed brake...
What a lousy Pilot. Way too many Power corrections. And yes I am a pilot!
Tim Thomas honestly I got scared for a few minutes :/
Fascinated with Jets and flying love hearing from pilots. Had a chance to talk with one for a couple hours and it was a fantastic conversation. Thank you for you're input sir.
How do we know you’re not lying
Without a doubt way too many power corrections. You should not have to have so many to have a good approach/Landing.
There’s a thing called auto throttle. Turn it on, set the speed to say, 140 kts. Should the plane be a little fast or slow, it will make even the tiniest adjustments by increasing or decreasing the thrust.
