I work at Safran in gloucester where they maufacture, assemble the parts for the A350,A330 and A320 undercarrages the main landing gear and it really amazes me how the parts are made and the assembling of them, they don't look much so withstand the hammering that some pilots put it through but it's a amazing to see.
The landing gear is one of those things on a plane which is guaranteed to fail in use, so it's life-limited. It typically gets pulled for overhaul after around 8 years/25k cycles, then is scrapped after its 3rd run. Each landing costs around $100 in landing-gear maintenance costs.
Give the pilot credit ,looks like it was under control even keeping front undercarriage up until it was lined up ,brilliant work from Jerry and Gilly 😊🎉
That was replicated on nearly every landing over the weekend, very exciting cos of the crosswinds. A massive big up and well done to all the pilots, the streams over the weekend was a testament to your skill and calmness under adverse conditions 👏👏👏😎. Great stuff, and a fantastic stream Jerry, spot on mate. 👍👌👏👏👏👏
Wow, brilliant capture as always! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description as before.
Thanks for the amazing shot as usual Jerry and Gilly. This was a wild one! love Jerry's commentary in the background....truly Jerry-esk. Very cool watching it back in 50%, or 25% speed. At those speeds Jerry's commentary is even more of a laugh. Thanks once again BigJetTV, and cheers from California.
Great footage as always here Jerry, and again what a great stream this was (thanks to gilly for helping sort out the tech erros) i look foward to wednesday in Tolouse
i wonder if they have to do an extensive look see, going over after a landing like that.. looks like it could be pretty stressful on the landing gear. maybe wings too? 🤔
That was one of the roughest landings I've ever seen, can only imagine how it felt onboard. It looks as though there was a downward pressure of wind just a few seconds before landing that the pilot was unable to avoid. I'm amazed the landing gear is able to withstand that.
That gear set might need an early service now. TBH, by then, it had already happened. Therefore, it was less risky to continue with the landing. I'm glad they did it safely.
Oh my god 😳 The stress on that landing gear must have been incredible. You can see the pilot pulling pitch to no avail. Nasty, nasty conditions. Love the comments. Definitely gnarly man! 😂
Well said… Having been in the jump seat for more than one of those, I guarantee that there was at least one and probably more four letter words uttered (ok shouted) that would likely violate “BIG JET TV” comment rules. I suspect that are not many that don’t know the words to which I refer, therefore there is no need to utter them. One thing about pilots…for the 999 times that they have an uneventful landing, they get paid to get the one that isn’t normal right. “Right” in this context is no broken plane, no broken people. Mission accomplished!
It all looked smooth on the approach and then its like he hits a dead spot in the air and the aircraft just drops and slams into the runway. Luckily LHR has long runways so he was able to correct his alignment and slowdown without having to go around again.
Yeah I've been in a Cessna flying around the NZ alps when the plane just dropped like a stone for a second. Very scary and there's no way to pick it coming.
The fact the pilot kept the nose up deserves a pint.If he/ she had let the nose gear down a few seconds earlier there would have been a big incident.Everthing seemed stable right until the last few feet.Amazing skills .
Keeping the nose up on a swept wing jet is not what you want to do, just increases the risk of a tail strike. Nose should have been brought down a lot sooner.
On second thoughts, instead of Windshear, could the Pilot have rounded off a bit to early in flare procedure and thus the sudden drop - having reduced power in flare process ?
It looks like the wind briefly changed directions and the aircraft lost lift for a sec. The pilot tried and did the best that he could, i expected a go-around seeing how the aircraft got tipped over tho.
Hi there, cool catch! I was wondering if I could feature this video on my Weekly Aviation Update series? Of course, you’ll be credited in the video and description. Happy spotting! ✈️
A hard landing does. Whether this was a hard landing or not however can not be assessed by just looking at the video, we would need to know the actual g load at the centre of gravity during touchdown.
Awesome! That’s a hard landing for sure! Started the flare too high and ran out of energy, at that point the plane ‘sits on its ass’ for a carrier landing. Probably compounded with a drop in windspeed as they flared. Looked close to a tail strike too! Most airlines have a flight data monitoring programme that captures certain flight data, I’m sure they exceeded a few parameters on this landing!
the approach was perfectly fine until the very last moment. So a go around BEFORE hitting the ground wasn't possible. And afterwards they were centrally on the runway, so a go around wasn't necessary
At that height even applying thrust (which would need to spool up) would likely have resulted in a hard touch down followed by takeoff, then you simply have the same problem second time around with less fuel and potentially bust gear. These are pretty dangerous conditions.
Sat and watched it for hours with me Dad on the 48". Chat is useless on the telly but the footage was outstanding. I particularly remember that one too. I wonder what the max load is for the undercarriage in that situation and what that actual load was !?
Not carrying enough airspeed for the conditions it looks like - those wings had nothing left to give when the pilot pulled back on the side stick to counter the windshear in the flare. Usually in windy, gusty conditions you will add a margin onto your Vref for this very reason - the almost tailstrike also says low airspeed.
Someone knows why they kept the nose up for such a long time after the landing? Is this a kind of procedure or where they focused to stay on the centerline?
Its poor technique by the pilot, smaller single and twin-engine aircraft its ok, but in a big heavy jet you de-rotate and “fly” the nosewheel on to the runway. You want to kill as much lift as possible and get more weight on the wheels to assist with braking.
The landing gear on aircraft is unbelievable.. has to deal with so many stresses .. shows how good the engineering is.
I work at Safran in gloucester where they maufacture, assemble the parts for the A350,A330 and A320 undercarrages the main landing gear and it really amazes me how the parts are made and the assembling of them, they don't look much so withstand the hammering that some pilots put it through but it's a amazing to see.
@@AndyPoyser but A330 gears are made of chocolate 😜
That’s for sure. Some of you must have flown in the A-350. Is it as nice as the 777 or the Dreamliner?

True. Very skilled and ballsy seeing it through instead of go arounding.
Shout out to the engineers that designed and built that landing gear.

Absolutely, no problem :)
Jesus 😮 That was hard stuff but in the end well done
Footage of the passenger reactions to that landing would be super awesome!! If that were my very first flight it would probably be my last....lol

Do you guys like the British accents and slang words I’m curious 😊
I decided to watch the landing again at 0.25x and it's very funny, I agree 😂 thanks for the laugh
You are most welcome! Really glad you enjoyed it too😀@@rachelppython
Nicely recovered. Looked like wind shear right at the TDZ
Great footage as always here Jerry, and again what a great stream this was (thanks to gilly for helping sort out the tech erros) i look foward to wednesday in Tolouse
These landing gear struts, blimey they take a beating!
i wonder if they have to do an extensive look see, going over after a landing like that.. looks like it could be pretty stressful on the landing gear. maybe wings too? 🤔
@@somejackballthey do. If your landing exceeds a certain rate of fpm (can't remember how much), the plane has to go in for a check/maintenance
Wow that was crazy to see again!! Was just rewatching the weekend shows!
That was one of the roughest landings I've ever seen, can only imagine how it felt onboard. It looks as though there was a downward pressure of wind just a few seconds before landing that the pilot was unable to avoid. I'm amazed the landing gear is able to withstand that.
It's specifically made and tested to withstand that.
Great stuff Jerry and Gilly. I was watching this live with you yesterday and Saturday. Big Jet TV two days in a row!! Thanks!
The force on that rear left landing gear on touchdown must've been absolutely insane, amazing how it didn't collapse!
Now that's a landing Bosh we'll done to the pilot for getting that one down well caught Jerry.
Frozen buttery landing that one!
That gear set might need an early service now.
TBH, by then, it had already happened. Therefore, it was less risky to continue with the landing. I'm glad they did it safely.
Looks like he hit a pocket of “dead air” or a small down draft. I’m sure Ryan Air will be offering that pilot a job. Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dead air ? Is that what they call it ?
Jokes aside Ryanair upped their game been on a flight recently and it was butter
oh dead air is it ? is that the term ? maybe go back to microsoft flight sim 2020
Been flying with Ryanair a lot, I only experienced a hard touchdown once or twice. It's more of an urban myth IMHO
That was definitely spicy.
Best example of sudden windshear!
Oh my god 😳 The stress on that landing gear must have been incredible. You can see the pilot pulling pitch to no avail. Nasty, nasty conditions. Love the comments. Definitely gnarly man! 😂

Amazing capture ! Would you mind if I use part of this video , in one of my next episodes?Of course with a link back to your original video. Peace!
Of course, that's fine :)
Jesus!! That's a really risky landing Jeremy 😳😥😅✈️
Great filming Gerry , so good I’m going to become a full member
The fact the pilot kept the nose up deserves a pint.If he/ she had let the nose gear down a few seconds earlier there would have been a big incident.Everthing seemed stable right until the last few feet.Amazing skills .
Keeping the nose up on a swept wing jet is not what you want to do, just increases the risk of a tail strike. Nose should have been brought down a lot sooner.
That is some good windsheer at the end.
Now that is a big boy ballsy landing ..fantastic
Insane landing. Great video
The starboard engine was heading for a strike, Jerry. Flippin' ek!😁😁
Pleased I wasn’t on that, what a clip,thank you
The bottom fell out on that one.. Good catch!
Looks like ground effect took the day off
That’s a true BOSH Jerry 🤣🤣 glad I was not on that one ✈️😁
probably a bit of bish and bash too - "easy-peasy - we're down!"
That is awesome, though feel for passengers at the back!
Why this video appear on other channels? Your channel is class .
Great engineering and good looking plane too.
😮That was a Legendary Wheelie of a a350 😮
“Oh my flippin’ 🥚!”
HECK, He said heck, not egg! *facebpalm*
If you play it back at 0.25 or 0.5x speed, Jerry sounds like he's had a hard night on the whiskey 🤣
It's good to be able to land safely under such conditions!!! Don’t expect butter
That was rough lol passengers boking everywhere
Ohhhhh, that was bonkers!

Hi there, cool catch! I was wondering if I could feature this video on my Weekly Aviation Update series? Of course, you’ll be credited in the video and description. Happy spotting! ✈️
That's was really hard😮
Question, does a hard landing like that, initiate a particular inspection/test of the landing gear (LG) and/or any components of the LG?
A hard landing does. Whether this was a hard landing or not however can not be assessed by just looking at the video, we would need to know the actual g load at the centre of gravity during touchdown.
There are sensors which detect the g loading on the gear and above a certain amount then yes an inspection will be done.
Yup. Depends on the G force recorded at touchdown, over a certain amount requires a hard landing inspection.
Sensors to record the g-load, thus initiating a maintenance response does make sense. Thank you both for your responses 👍
It goes by the ouch factor from the passengers
saw it on your live that was crazy 😂
Cant tell if there was a strong crosswind component leading to some crabbing there?
Superb picture
Wow, great filming! May I feature this in a video of mine? You will be credited of course in the description and video.
Yes of course!
Because of my most favorite airplane is the C-17 globemasterIII and I am also on the autism spectrum.
Never seen a landing like that before
OMG 😳 Great job
I'm glad it wasn't touch and go. The thought of having to go through that twice
That was crazy! He kept the nose up for a bit afterwards also.
My first time saw a Cathay pacific A350 landing so hard
Unbelievable jeff
Awesome! That’s a hard landing for sure! Started the flare too high and ran out of energy, at that point the plane ‘sits on its ass’ for a carrier landing.

I reckon there was a passenger whom upset the pilot. Pilot : "I 'll get the bugger back."
Still nailed it after what was clearly a wind shear right before touchdown.
I'll bet there was a few sore backsides after that landing. Ouch!
Your commentary is hilarious 🤣
In the last seconds the plane came down looking as if it had a stall.😮
Stall? An AIRBUS product? It couldn't be.....could it?
Unbelievable 😮
Looks like a standard Ryanair landing!
Wow that's a super hard landing, scary. But hopefully the passenger is not injured when the plane touch down super hard.
Incredible
I don't see a problem. Looks pretty normal.
Long flight from HK?
That's what happens when you put a 200 hour Cherokee pilot in the right seat of an airliner.
If we could get some passenger commentary that would be great!
I'm sure that the passengers are still under treatment at the hospital😅
The passengers probably said what Jerry said only in different phrases. 😄
"oh shiiiiiiiiii, bugggaaaa, we are all gunna dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, noooooooooooo!"
Ouch ooh ooh
watched this on live oh my it was not good
Wow. Insane landing. Should that have been a go around?
the approach was perfectly fine until the very last moment. So a go around BEFORE hitting the ground wasn't possible. And afterwards they were centrally on the runway, so a go around wasn't necessary
At that height even applying thrust (which would need to spool up) would likely have resulted in a hard touch down followed by takeoff, then you simply have the same problem second time around with less fuel and potentially bust gear. These are pretty dangerous conditions.
WOW, indeed! 😳😮
Boy the passengers felt that in their seats .
He really started to sink just as he crossed the threshold wind shear is crazy
That right wing must've been close to touching the ground. 😮😮😮
Cathay pacific: you are fired!
Ryanair: you are hired!
That was unbelievable we’ll done to captain
Sat and watched it for hours with me Dad on the 48". Chat is useless on the telly but the footage was outstanding.
I particularly remember that one too.
I wonder what the max load is for the undercarriage in that situation and what that actual load was !?
Nigel. Try watching on telly, but use your mobile for the chat on YT - not synched, but run independently.
"Oh my flippin heck!" lol.
What was the airline btw please?
I couldn’t see.
Cathay perhaps ?
It’s Cathay Pacific
Thanks
Thats class Ryanair would say

Usually in windy, gusty conditions you will add a margin onto your Vref for this very reason - the almost tailstrike also says low airspeed.
The British Airways a350-1000 XWB and Ryanair’s brand new nemesis!! I wonder how they’ll react to that
Is there something on the A350 which causes this? You’ve had a couple of catches the same, like the Virgin one before… slams down on the deck… ideas?
Pilot on the phone to quick fit , what’s your biggest tyres you stock mate .
When is the next live ? Jerry and very crazy landing 🛬 😮❤
Amazing
Haha I think the pilots had given up at this point and were just throwing their planes at the runway 😂😂😂BOSH indeed
Yeah I think the pilots were literally stunned and forgot about the go around lol
More flare than Lionel Blair! 😂
The pilot should have saved that for an airshow display
😮 wow nice save 😅
When the wind is bad up at leeds/bradford airport thats a pretty standard landing!
Someone knows why they kept the nose up for such a long time after the landing? Is this a kind of procedure or where they focused to stay on the centerline?
Its poor technique by the pilot, smaller single and twin-engine aircraft its ok, but in a big heavy jet you de-rotate and “fly” the nosewheel on to the runway. You want to kill as much lift as possible and get more weight on the wheels to assist with braking.
Sudden Wind shear ?
