Heres something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird ''turkey'', well let me explain. :) Name of my country has always been Turkiye, that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means ''land of/belonging to''... ...just like the Latin suffix -ia in such countries as Latv-ia, Roman-ia, Eston-ia, Austr-ia, Austral-ia etc etc. Another example; decades ago Czechoslovakia Republic changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). Anyways, most likely the Latin -ia suffix was derived from the Turkish version -iye, as Turkish is much much older. Because in old times people of different languages could only pronounce it as their languages allowed them, we got various differences in spelling like Turchia (in Italian), Turquie (in French) and Turkey (in English) all trying to resemble the pronounciation of ''Turk-ia'' thus Turkiye. Mind you this was way BEFORE the animal we currently know as 'turkey'' was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird ''Turkey Fowl'' meaning ''Turkish Chicken''..... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), Rhodesian Ridgeback (because it's from Rhodesia), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the Greek Harehound as simply as ''Greek''; or you don't call the British Terrier as ''British''; or the German Shepherd as ''German'', but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just ''turkey'', and has been going on for hundreds of years. Now in 2023, this is causing confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their OWN country on the atlas, this ''confusion over the naming'' needed to be corrected. So my country decided to rectify this confusion that has been going on for so long and corrected the name in other languages to Türkiye, which it always was, we basically didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)

Whoa, that A380 landing was intense! It looked more like a precision maneuver than just a firm touchdown - it's incredible how the pilots skillfully handled the situation.

[@nathonn9334]

@@EdOeuna that is not the reason i believe. i think it was because of them trying to get out of a tailstrike position, since 777's are really long. (I might be wrong)

[@EdOeuna]

Steep climb because they buggered up the go-around.

[@greglawrance6086]

@@EdOeuna Nor really, that wasn’t a go around that was a bulked landing! Manual application of full thrust, hold the aircraft attitude, accelerate to vref then slowly rotate to 15 degrees nose up. Wait a second or two and press TOGA, go around procedure from that point. Looks like it was flown perfectly to me.

[@EdOeuna]

@@greglawrance6086 - reread what you wrote and see why you’re wrong. It is a baulked landing with a go around, but they buggered up the go-around portion by flying level for a few seconds before the ridiculous pull up manoeuvre.

[@greglawrance6086]

@EdOeuna Standard baulked landing procedure for the 777 is to maintain aircraft attitude, accepting runway touchdown if necessary, aggressively apply maximum thrust, slowly rotate at vref to achieve a 15 degree pitch angle. Pause and then press TOGA. After that convert to a standard go around. TOGA on the 777 is inhibited after touchdown hence manual thrust. The accelerate level to vref is to prevent a tail strike. 15 degrees is used to prevent speed runaway with full thrust applied. As I said, looked pretty good to me.

[@davel3402]

The Air France 777 - look at the windsock in the right of the picture, it's nearly pulled over the wind is so strong... White knuckle landing!

[@AnimalisMD]

For the passengers AND the pilots! 😬😰😳🛬

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Nah.

[@EdOeuna]

It’s a constant wind. It’s pretty easy to deal with in large aircraft like this. Worst case is you land in the crab and let the wheels bare the brunt. It appears they also forget to put ailerons into wind which is why the plane kept bouncing and the left wing kept lifting.

[@SenorCrazylegs]

That Air France landing is a classic Pilot Induced Oscillation (PIO). You can't mess with big aircraft that much. It takes time to get a reaction because they're so big and they carry huge inertia. You end up with greater and greater oscillation because every reaction is seemingly 180 degrees out. What you need to do hold neutral, allow it to stabilise, then slow yourself down.

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Enjoyed that auto-rotation. My first and last one was in the BRNC Wasp in 1978. Exciting stuff.

[@bikeny]

I am not a pilot, so what was going on with the helicopter clip? Thanks.

[@MeppyMan]

@@bikenyan autorotation is what you do if you have an engine failure (most common reason) in a helicopter. The basics is that you descend quickly so that the airflow starts going up through the blades causing them to windmill and keep spinning. You then use the energy in the blades to stop your descent and land, without needing any engine power. Of course this being a Robinson the amount of energy stored in the rotor is not much. Hence the horn telling the pilot the rotor rpm had dropped below safe limit. It sounds scary and crazy, but you only need a small patch of land to put it down safely, whereas in an aeroplane you have to hit the ground at speed and hope for the best. Or if you’re in the US, land on a freeway and make everyone get out of your way 😂

[@soaringvulture]

@@MeppyMan That has to be a scary moment in a helicopter pilot's training. At least the first time.

[@MeppyMan]

@@soaringvulture absolutely. I was never fully comfortable with autos during my initial flight training. Even though I could do them and knew what I was doing. I had to practice a fair bit to get rid of the fear factor. I was quite young at the time though.

0:27 History almost repeating

[@muzlp]

The rate of descent of Air France doesn’t look too excessive, the bounce was probably due to high “energy”, I suspect they came in at slightly higher speed or high thrust setting and then chopped the power a bit late (that’s why ground spoiler automatically deployed slightly later)

[@chrisschack9716]

They should have gone around, they started porpiosing.

[@greglawrance6086]

Not enough into wind aileron. Auto thrust automatically reduces thrust on touchdown. Correct technique is to use rudder to straighten the aircraft to the runway, introduce and HOLD into wind aileron and flare a little more due to the lateral rotation.

[@markdaisey4800]

It was more of PIO event. Watch how much elevator deflection there is just about 10 feet from touchdown. Plus he didn't maintain upwind aileron post touchdown.

The tiles of the videos on this channel are usually inaccurate and meaningless. I could speculate about how the pilot might have mishandled the airplane, but the specifics don't really matter. Tough winds and less than adroit handling lead to a less than pretty arrival. It's not like long-haul pilots get a lot of practice handling the airplane these days.

[@reckz420]

With the Japan Airlines, was that go around necessary? Seems like they had their 'feet' well on the ground, just a bit wobbly.

[@beach182]

The JAL 777 didn’t actually need to go around , it had touched fully , all it needed was a little nose down pressure and reverse thrust

[@Hk-uw8my]

An actual touchdown doesn't involve any bounce. The nose gear is clearly not as tough as the main one, and all it wanted here was to smash and bounce on the ground hard just like the main. So all you were suggesting was to help this but thankfully the pilot prevented it instead ,probably at the cost of more main gear bouncing. But as airspeed decreases, the tailstrike pitch decreases as well ,which makes following Aft yoke inputs to prevent damage on the nose gear more dangerous, and not to mention all the valuable runway lenght that was already wasted during this whole mess. Which is why a go around is a good decision after a bounced landing.
