The reason for this (and the A340 since the landing gear is the same design) is that both have articulated bogies, so in essence they perform two touchdowns, first the rear wheels, then the front. That's the reason A330s and A340s are known for smooth landings (most of the time :)
I could swear back in the day - before schedules were so tight - planes had motors that started rolling the wheels BEFORE touchdown. Makes sense to preserve tires.
Normally, the brakes are actually released just before landing. Should there be a brake assembly that is not released, an indication on the flight deck will appear as an abnormal configuration. It will cause the tire to skid, and may lead to explosion. In this video, the tires did not rotate right after touchdown because of the inertia inserted by weight of the aircraft onto the tire.
markotark ye if u see closer most a330s sort of stay on the two rear tires for a while before letting the nose down which may result in softer landings
Aqila Sobana yes! People are talking about what I’m talking about, I don’t know why it happens just on the a330 and a340, it’s annoying that it doesn’t happen in flight simulators unless you really try to do a smooth landing
Everyone thinks the a330 340 lands really smooth. Its just like any other landing but this resistance in the main gear absorbs the impact. The rear bogey touches down but the stiffness holds it there for 2 seconds and then slowly the front comes down grounding the aircraft the spoilers come up and the plane slows down. From inside the cabin the shuddering and thump from touch down can be heard twice. I recommend watching an a330 landing from the interior.
@@bronwyncunningham4984 yeah it’s quite weird too, because people on an a330 probably think, oh we have landed. Then the second set of wheels touch down. ‘We have landed twice?, or done a bouncy landing?’ 🤣
no, airbus have de-rotation logic to the flight control so it will gradually pitch the nose down (unless you deliberately holding the nose up) so under normal circumstances, the nose will not slammed down
Jansel Kenneth Tolentino no most runways are like this because when the plane lands it helps slow it down and when it takes off its helps it take off both more efficiently
+flightworks Well, if it's on other views, it seems flat... Unless I'm looking at a same airport just with different planes. I'll try doing research about this
+flightworks Just researched about this topic and runways aren't completely flat as it would be really expensive to completely make it flat. Runways are curved for many reasons. Some airports are just a little bit curved. There are also some airports that are flat
Great job and no music nice were you using some kind of high speed camera there because the foitage was very clear ir us it some expensive piece of kit keep up the great vids
Amazing video, as always. Your camera work is just superb! One little side note, some music would have been nice, the audio is a little weird in this way.
Hi there. I am working on a paper A330, and I just finished making the main landing gears. They also have this gear tilt.. and I want to show the viewers of my video, (which I will upload in a day or two) how the gear is tilted in A330. Can I use a part of this video to showcase that?
Are main gear fixed to the long axis, or can they pivot to account for crabbing? I always wonder how the carcasses aren't ripped off in high crosswind landings. Thanks
Aircraft tires have specifications (limitations) of maximum weight and speed. Such speed during high crosswind landings are below the maximum weight and speed limitations of the aircraft tire. However, this may induce (a little) tire damage/wear. And no, the main landing gears on the A330 do not steer and has no lateral movement/control.
+heyitsvos In some airplanes, the Boeing 737 being an example (I don't know about the A330 but *Lhord Borces* answered already), the main landing gears have some directional play. Some people say it is to allow for some degree of freedom in crosswind landings. This accounts for the 737's characteristic crabbing when taxiing in crosswinds.
heyitsvos I sense a "this is the internet so you may be BS'ing me but don't care". If you want, you can validate this in many sources. One is the well-respected www.b737.org.uk . Go to "aircraft systems", then "landing gear". You will find reference to the maing gear play I described. Cheers.
'Lower the landing gear' is the term you're looking for. And the answer to your question is so the pilots can increase drag which slows the plane down.
+the119plane I know exactly where +Mershell is coming from haha, he means "spin the wheels before touchdown, as fast as the aircraft's ground speed will be on touchdown,"
Stelum they don't have to make it extremely flat it would cost a lot, most runways look like this from the front and back but you can't tell from the side
Very cold tires will do this, upon coming into contact with a firm surface. Not unlike moving your automobile, when it has been sitting out of doors, over a very cold and wintery night. The tires have a temporary flat spot, which usually you can hear and can feel as you start your travel. As the tires rotate, and warm a bit, they will return to their correct shape. Just think how cold those tire were in the wheel wells of an aircraft, when plane was in flight at 35,000 feet.

Always wondered that. Thanks for the explanation!
Anytime! I think the 777 and the 787 also feature this system, but I'm not 100% sure.
+Christos Psarras usjaqsg
Also, it is so the landing gear fits in the, for lack of a better term, fender well.
A330's are so graceful on landings, they should be called the "ballerina" of the sky!
Just fantastic ! Incredible footage, really beautiful !
The Transat landing at 3:30 was one of the best. From slow to very slow motion
Elegant and beautiful landing on her toes!!
I love watching planes, and I just came across this video,I've never seen close ups like this before,it was just great. Thankyou
Really awesome video mate! Liked!
Beautiful shots . Thanks for sharing.
Very bright camera work. Nice.
Very very nice slow motion of the gear.
I like how the wheels hang back when let down before landing
H.I.M when the main gears stay in the tilted position for a while when the plane lands, I’m trying to find out what that’s all about
Its kinda satisfying to see the wheels smoke after touchdown
This is awesome!!
stunning capture bro
beautiful work
Beautiful images
Einfach herrlich, deine Videos anzusehen... deine Kameraführung ist fantastisch... grosses Kompliment...
Simply outstanding video
awesome video.
Great shot....A330 is a great ride!
Fantastic filming by you....I love watching your vids Thanks
I could swear back in the day - before schedules were so tight - planes had motors that started rolling the wheels BEFORE touchdown. Makes sense to preserve tires.
No airliners have this. Just too much weight and complexity, yet another system to maintain. Not worth it.
You're probably right.
Very nice video.
2:53 there is RYANAIR
that 2nd runway looks very leveled
were you using the sarcasm when you wrote that comment?
Michael N
Really good work.
Amazing! Bravo!!
Stunning piece of work.Thank you. Brilliant.

The tires really helps the plane with the smooth landing. It is really a big help. Cool Vid!
Very nice!
notice auto brake i.e. thrust reversers and spoilers activate on rear wheels contact and not full squat on mains.
Smooth Landing!
Beautiful..video..
Excelent...beautiful.
perfect like alwayz. actually nobody takes Care about this little things. You have a good eye 4 IT
Brilliant video. Looks like the brakes are on slightly at touch down as the tyres aren't rotating.

It will cause the tire to skid, and may lead to explosion. In this video, the tires did not rotate right after touchdown because of the inertia inserted by weight of the aircraft onto the tire.
Lhord Borces
Thanks for the reply
I think it might help make the landings feel a bit smoother, having some initial resistance and damping already when the first wheels touch down...

Nice video, I am planning a trip to BHX in October, any good location I should consider?
Too good.
So majestätisch !!!
3:20 it seems dangerous to me to deploy thrust reverse that early, can't that result into the nosegear slamming down?
no, airbus have de-rotation logic to the flight control so it will gradually pitch the nose down (unless you deliberately holding the nose up) so under normal circumstances, the nose will not slammed down
OMG! The runway is not flat at all from 1:00! Same in Sydney Airport.
It's probably just the camera angle
Jansel Kenneth Tolentino no most runways are like this because when the plane lands it helps slow it down and when it takes off its helps it take off both more efficiently
oh, I see! Thats why the plane is bumpy most time when landing/takeoff!

Yes.
Yes he is.
1:13 was ist da mit der Landebahn los ? XD oder ist das nur durch die Linse
Wow, what a great quality & professional vid. R u pro?
Butter.
i thought it depends on how the pilot lands the plane?

excellent video !!!!! what kind of kit are you using to capture ?
Nice video... good camera work. 4k's great even with YT's compression. What camera lens are you using?
WHY DO YOU ONLY HAVE 38K SUBS?
+Sam Host Because He only posts high quality video of planes doing normal things. Its quite a lot of subs considering.
I'm wondering what camera you use. awesome video btw!
It is very similar to a bird landing.
How to play
Play what?
"This is your captain speaking. We are now in the process of deciding whether to land or not." 0:29
*+- AirTycoonMasters* And the copilot adds: "The captain was sleeping. We actually landed at 0:26".
What kind of tripod do you use? Fluid head?
0:25 Touchdown!
Is this on both the 777 300 and the 300ER
2:53 Ryanair witnesses a smooth landing
lol
Which camera did you use?
Awesome
I put it in Superslow motion
Why are other windows closed?
*BUTTER*
Eles todos todos eles, caprichosamente colocam os brutos no chão.
Nice

no. more like headphone users love it

that uk airport???
nice
why don't they turn on the tyres before the plane touches down? it would protect the tyres and the runway
How exactly do you "turn on" the tyres??

i don't know what's the right word for it, english is not my first language... but you know what i mean

Wait air transat still flyes.????
what camera?
***butter machine***
Why is the runway bumpy?
Stelum they don't have to make it extremely flat it would cost a lot, most runways look like this from the front and back but you can't tell from the side
GOOOD
Why is that runway looks like a hillock??
Who's idea was it to make the runway have three bumps
It's from the telescope effect of large telescopic cameras. Flater than it looks
+David Horgan oh because the airport I live near has two bumps in the runway. Thank you for the answer
Gah damn that camera
The gear looks like they bolted gigantic HPI Savages to metal posts lol
Muito legal
I flapped to this (rimshot)
Класс! Прямо, как балет))
Tire said
Hooooooooooooooo
Giiiiiiikkkkkkkk
Why can't anyone make a nice flat runway?
Not necessary. They make it as flat as needed to meet requirements, don't spend any more $$$ than that.
4K
Mostly air transat
Would you say the A330 can beat the B744 wheels?

Es ist besser, einmal die accidents zu sehen.
I was willing to she the 777
Andrew Anane I prefer 330

There's no weight on the tires in the up position.
Ain’t runways meant to be flat!
Mohamed Ghanem They are flat. The camera just makes it look that way.
@@vice88 they are not flat lol
