Yeah, it's pretty impressive. Gigantic engine -- 12 feet 8 inches (3.25 m) in diameter! (And rated thrust of 115,300 lbs! (513 kN) That's enough to fly a 747 *_by itself._* 😲)

@evaluateanalysis7974 Well, I didn't say it could *_take off_* on just the one engine. Just that it could fly. 😁 Anyway, for what it's worth, here's the original quote: "The GE90-115B provided enough thrust to fly N747GE, GE's Boeing 747-100 flying testbed, with the other three engines at idle, an attribute demonstrated during a flight test."

I'm excited to be flying back to the US from Europe on Lufthansa A380 in April. I managed to snag one of the few economy seats in the upper deck. They're waaaaaaaaaaaaay in the back! Row 97 out of 99 to be exact!! At that point the fuselage narrows, so it's only a 2-3-2 configuration, so I'll be at a window with only one other person next to me. I figured it was worth paying the extra $63 for the experience, plus to be comfortable on a 12 hour flight.

Thanks, loved the A380 landing and the Ryanair, yes I know Ryanair but they get the job done. All very skilled pilots.

Agreed, as are most Southwest pilots in the US, with so many short-haul flights per year.

[@venil82]

ryanair footage seems sped up ?

[@seanpellegrino2989]

Yeah, I was just about to say that. I accidentally began the video with it playing at 1.25 speed and after the first two realized that and set it to normal speed, and then seeing the Ryanair landing made me double check that I was watching at the correct speed. It definitely appeared sped up.

[@TexJester-no8th]

Sped up or coming in HOT??

[@Paul_Harper]

Yes, it was. I hate it when the numpties do that!

[@FrietjeOorlog]

I was wondering if it was the angle or if it really came in at mach 9.

[@MohJam]

Hard to tell... I was fast... There is a couple of leaves falling in the foreground... they look sped up. Reduced to 50% or 75% speed, sounds crap, but now looks correct.

[@tropenband]

No, the LH A340 does NOT land short of the touchdown zone, as you can tell from the runway markings. The touchdown zone starts at the threshold, as you can also see at night with the help of the tdz lights.

[@Klink330]

No - The TDZ definitely does NOT start at the threshold! It did land in the TDZ though. The TDZ starts at the first ‘fixed distance markers’ after the threshold. In the case of this video, there are two pairs of thin markers each side of yes runway, followed by a much fatter pair (the aiming point markers) then several pairs of think markers. The TDZ ends at the last pair of thin markers. So in this case, the A340 touched down just short of the 300m fixed distance markers (2nd pair) which is exactly where an autoland would put the aircraft because it is usually abeam the location of the glide slope antenna. Nor was it a particularly hard landing; firm yes, hard no.

[@tropenband]

@Klink330 You are partially right. The fixed distance zone markers highlight the touchdown zone. But as it is not possible to have these markers also at the same time on the threshold markings, you only see the first pair further down the runway. And again: if you refer to the TDZ lights (3 of lights left and right to the CL, present in the complete length of the TDZ, ending with the last fixed distance marks), they start AT the threshold line, even before the runway designation numbers. There are so many legends around, that the TDZ only starts with the first pair of distance marks or even the aiming point markers, but thats not correct. Even many professional pilots believe in that. In practical operations, there are good reasons not to touch down at the very beginning of the TDZ (safety margins when encountering wind shear, ...). Look at old aerial photos of airport runways and closely examine where the tire marks of landing aircraft are located. At the very beginning of the runway. This has got historical reasons, as prop liners had slower landing speeds than modern jet aircraft, that have much faster landing speeds. But also on modern runways in military use you can clearly see, that the TDZ starts at the threshold.

How the A380 and other aircraft that size sling those giant barn doors around so quickly without breaking is amazing engineering.

Thank you again. I could be wrong but I don't think all that rudder deflection was necessary but that plane was beautiful

[@CraigerAce]

Great job with your vids. Thanks!

[@dss3113]

The A380 had the pilot inducing the rudder oscillations before the flare already. Making life harder than it should be

[@meofnz2320]

I think you’ll find that most of the rudder movement in this video is not the pilot at all. Modern airliners are fly by wire and incorporate gust suppression inputs automatically. The pilots feet are usually just resting on the pedals until the flare.

[@dss3113]

@@meofnz2320 Im not rated on the 380 but other Airbus Aircraft: The rudder is mostly used for turn coordination, which is indeed done without pilot input and to a certain degree during an Engine failure. However, the movement of the rudder you see here is almost full deflection and almost certainly done by pilot input. Also it’s completely unnecessary. Ideally you’ll need only one input when initiating the decrab. Otherwise lateral control is achieved by bank.

[@Vousie]

Yeah, it did look like it might be some pilot-induced oscillation there. There's an airliner that crashed because the pilot did this so badly that the entire vertical stabiliser broke off...

[@meofnz2320]

@ Could you imagine what that would look like in the flight deck? Have a look at other landing videos on KZbin. Most aren’t as clear as this but you can see similar rudder movement on 777, A380 etc in the right conditions. On the 777 it is a FBW yaw damper function called gust suppression that is controlled by a transducer in the tail fin. These comments about PIO are almost as old as KZbin!

[@markhilsen2528]

Loved the China Eastern 2035 video -- everyone working together to make things safe! English is the international language of the air but it takes every pilot several "listens" in a new environment before our brains "hear" the right words. The radio CE2035 pilot is 100% normal but needs 2-3 more "listens" before his brain sorts it out forever. I would have told the controller to say for the third time "NEGATIVE NEGATIVE GO AROUND, GO AROUND." Sometimes the listener gets half the message and doesn't yet "hear" the active words; saying the active command words ALONE and LOUD and TWICE helps. -- Another lesson: never quit trying to get your command across until the last piece of aircraft landing wreckage stops moving! -- Final: I'm forever grateful to a Bangkok ground controller years ago who kept trying and repeated her instructions to us TEN TIMES (IIRC) before we understood, and got to the gate (in a typhoon) safely: she never quit trying! Patience, no trace of frustration. Thank you, Bangkok controllers.

Winter - the season when pilots earn their stripes.

[@dafyddllewellyn6636]

Why the Hell shouldn't the pilot use full rudder? First, he gets the aircraft tracking on the runway centreline - which requires a combination of sideslip and crabbing, but it establishes its momentum in the correct direction. Then, very close to the runway, he uses full rudder to align the aircraft with the direction it is travelling, levels the wings, and puts it down. Totally correct procedure.
