Gawdammmmmmm, that A380 landing was a *monumental* sight. I am a huge diehard B747 fan but my hat is *officially* off to Airbus -- and that PIC.

[@johnsim3722]

That A380 landing reminded me of what happened when a couple of Irish pilots were coming in to Prestwick Airport in Scotland. One said to the other "They haven't left us much distance to land on", and the other replied, "yes, but look at the width of the runway!". I guess having an aircraft the size of the A380 is a big advantage in those conditions.

[@Aviator27J]

I can go watch them do gear swings at the hangar (on 737s) but I've always wanted to go peek in on a C or D check. Those heavy checks get the aircraft taken down to hardly anything and then rebuilt!

[@valobrien9596]

@@sharoncassell9358 It sure is powerful gear alright. I'd imagine it takes more power to retract it than it does to lower it, as it's working against gravity. I'd love to see the figures, like how much power is involved.

That A 380 was an extraordinary performance by the crew. 👍👍 Really incredible.

[@lbowsk]

Incredibly bad? The idea is to minimize the side loading on the gear when touching down. Makes the rest of the landing rollout MUCH less frenetic and best of all, controlled. The engineers fitted the airplane with a huge powerful rudder and ailerons to help in the process. I guess it's just easier for some guys to perform a sideways-crabbing smackdown landing. My point is that it takes minimal skill to land sideways. Show me that same landing with the guy skillfully aligning the jet with the centerline as he's touching down and I'll add my accolades.

[@mort6727]

The skills of the pilots on the A380 are more than incredible!!🤯 they are just mindblowing

[@steveanimatrix3887]

I experienced a landing like that landing in high winds in Warsaw, Poland from NYC after a 5 hour takeoff delay due to storms. I'm watching out the window and the runway getting closer and we're sideways (basically putting my window row in the "front") and thinking there's no way and what the F are they thinking?!?!? A very calm voice was saying "hold on, folks, it's going to be a bumpy landing." Then the massive jerk as the plane whipped about 35-40 degrees in an instant to straighten itself when the rear wheels touched down and it was over in about 30 seconds. By far the scariest flight I've ever been on but very thankful to the skilled pilots. We had pretty bad turbulence before that as well.

[@Degenerate76]

Whenever I see one of these crabbed crosswind landings, I wonder what it must be like being seated far back in the tail. I imagine they must feel pretty seasick when the plane whips back to align with the runway.

[@iaintnonerd]

Whenever I see a crosswind landing, my first thought is always it's either Narita or Heathrow.

[@topfelya]

I do remember so well that Etihad A380 landing at Heathrow

[@Soon2BRev]

The A380 was nuts. I love the landing gear on that plane.

[@Fast351]

That was some pedal dancing in that 380 to straighten it out once it was down. Very impressive!

The pedal dancing was a bit late.

[@feth7747]

The A380 pilot has do a PERFECT JOB, cross the plane all necessary, down the rear wheels to the runway, brakes straighten the course, and then low the nose when the plane is parallel, then, the front wheels guides the plane straight.

[@peteyou2325]

The Captain of the A-380 should have gone around for another try. Touching down before lining up the nose gear with the centerline of the runway is extremely hard on the main landing gear. This is especially true with an aircraft as big and heavy as an A-380. That was an unsafe landing by the crew.

[@clemenszauner8070]

If he would have lined up the nose gear with the centerline, the mains would have been in the dirt. He was crabing. The plane is huge. Like in 'really big'.

[@teebob21]

@@peteyou2325 You seem to have misunderstood my comment. I was agreeing with you, not saying you didn't know your stuff. There's a plethora of other commenters who don't know what they are talking about and calling this a good landing (which it IS, from an impressive technical viewpoint of pilot skill and mechanical capability). A crab angle landing like this is going to wreak havoc on the landing gear. I'm not type-rated for the A380, but the aircraft I used to service and fly back in the day required an inspection of the fixed main gear after a crab landing in excess of 20 degrees before the plane would be deemed airworthy again.

[@cefb8923]

Yeah definitely a go around. As a mechanic and a pilot I shutter to think of the walk-around or next inspection the mechanics had to do when you had to check tires. Maybe none were bad at that moment but I'm a few legs you're fucked if you're the mechanic lol

[@mikeveis6269]

That A380 pilot made a perfect crosswind landing.

[@tonyneilson1652]

Decades ago I used to hang with a group of commercial pilots each of whom had developed their flying experience in Northern Canada working as bush pilots. They had all experienced life=threatening situations which tested their flying prowess to the extreme. Experience that one couldn't buy at any cost, experience that taught them how to keep cool in critical situations working for major airlines.

[@jumboJetPilot]

That C-5 must have had a locked brake. In 20 years I hardly ever used the brakes to stop during landing. The thrust reversers are plenty effective for that.

[@gort8203]

Whether it occurred during landing or even taxi out prior to takeoff it was obviously a dragging brake because only one wheel was overheated.

[@cefb8923]

Yeah none of the others were even smoking.

[@CesarpaulRivera]

That was me on my solo Had no idea about cross winds Went round and round for about an hour, until almost out of gas, I was scared because the plane would go sideways and I thought it would roll. At the end I had no choice, thanks God nothing happened Remember my knees shaking so bad, and still had to go through the solo ceremony, all the kicking and used oil shower, but only a couple kicks got me,run away from the oil and the rest of my friends, jumped on my car that I had parked right out side the door for the special occasion

A380 video You may have seen a video this week of one of our A380s landing in a strong crosswind in London. Initially the landing was seen by some as a "masterful landing". The official view from the Training Department is a simple one- THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT TO SEE. There is a time to give an approach away in the interest of safety. If you see such a thing in the sim that would be a grade of 1 for both pilots. And not for FPM but PSD. Please gentlemen, lets teach our pilots to operate safely even that means changing the mission.

Orange County approach, my 737 pilot cleared for a VERY short downwind with a gap between landing traffic, slips the jet like a sailplane to hit the numbers on a fairly short runway. Walking off, complemented the pilot on the skillful approach, him smiling asking if I was a pilot, "Of course".

[@R8andGT3Fan]

Wow, very consecutive videos this week! 😃👌🏾

[@AliPittaway]

Large aeroplanes can handle the crab landing very well. It takes huge skill from the pilots, however, to execute a crab landing. In certain wind conditions it’s necessary. It looks as though the wind is blowing the aeroplane into that position but it’s actually the pilot who’s holding it there to keep the air force on top of the wings…..I think. Pretty sure lots of pilots will correct me here (it’s a long time since I was an RAF Cadet).

[@lbowsk]

Sorry, Alison, but Crab landings require only minimal skill. Aligning the long axis of the airplane just before and during the landing to minimize side loading and doing a better job controlling the landing rollout is a totally different animal.

[@ericlozen9631]
