[@westerlywinds5684]

I can never understand how they find the runway without any visibility. It might as well have no windows.

[@TangledWinston]

There are many ground based radio stations that give feedback on a plane's position but nowadays airliners mostly only use GPS and ground based ILS to get a straight in track to the runway.

[@westerlywinds5684]

@ To a non pilot, it remains a mystery. I find it always amazing.

[@Wests1908]

When available they use ILS (Instrument Landing System) Prior to touchdown the frequency locks in and set the plane onto a vector then glideslope.

[@theharper1]

I don't think the visibility was as bad as the video makes it seem. At one point the person with the camera looks to the left, and the ground is quite visible. But as others said, they have GPS and instrument landing systems which keep the aircraft on track. I was surprised how low the minimums were set. Year ago, a BA 747 flew through an ash cloud which ground the windscreen almost opaque, but they were able to land with ILS and a lot of pilot skill.

[@juanrios4939]

Very hard landing, but considering the conditions, let’s get the job done!!

Generally, touch down well adapted to conditions. AP disconnect legally ok (in CAT 2 you could do the same), but the MCP play around including APP deselection and flying temporarily in CWS only in IMC on the ILS is a rather hot one, if distracted with other tasks like configuration management.

What was the reason for such a late autopilot disconnect? It would hardly give the pilot any time to "feel" the aircraft.

I would have been disconnecting around 6:15.

@@davemacaThe decision to disengage the autopilot during an approach is at the discretion of the captain and restricted by the operational limits of the aircraft. If Jonathan would decide to disengage at a predetermined minimum, he’s not wrong. Perhaps a more relevant question would be, “What airline do you fly for?” Some airlines are O.K. with being safe, others on being “uber safe”. There are strong cases to be made for both.

Not questioning the obvious expertise of course but you don't declare who you are and why they'd put you in the jump seat (so you must be an airline employee - and especially so since you called it the "jumper"). Given it's a 737 it must be either Qantas or Virgin, or possibly one of the now bankrupt REX relics, all of which wouldn't allow you to publish this without permission? And that "evening" Sydney was white light for sure (I know), and maybe/probably blue light (for the info of non airport workers blue light meaning all activity on the tarmac had to be closed). So after landing, and a great landing it was too, who guided the aircraft into the bay and attached the aerobridge or stairs? Who went out there and chocked and unloaded the aircraft? Were the disembarked pax bussed or did they get off straight into the terminal?

[@musicalaviator]

depending how old this video is, there's been 3 737 operators in Australia that are no longer operators in the last 5 years.

[@mrmr314]

​@@musicalaviator The clip is dated Friday 29 Nov 2024 and we were there on the ground. The only three operators with 73s from Brisbane to Sydney are Qantas, Virgin ... and REX has one or more 73s still operating in its livery despite it having gone belly-up. REX apparently doesn't do the inter-city runs anymore and this is quoted as BNE-SYD. Great landing but as one commenter pointed out the front cloud visual is way worse than the visual when the photographer moved over to the window and filmed downward. Terrific job but why wasn't the airport closed on blue light?

This is not a good example. I don’t know why they post this stuff. F/O is clearly inexperienced. I would not have let him fly this approach. Fingers everywhere, heads are down. While captured on ILS (or GLS can’t see from the video) F/O tries to disconnect the approach by pressing approach on MCP then tries to re-engage. Mean while the Cpt’s head is down changin the frequencies. Start swiches seems to be in off position which makes me wonder did they do the landing check list ? Max auto pilot disengage hight for single channel is 158FT. F/O does that below 100FT. Weather is a threat but nobody cares about terrain… Pilots fail in line checks for this. Do better please.

[@saveferris4675]

Yes the FO is inexperienced. Yes he had no idea that you can’t get out of approach mode by turning the button off. But before you slander the poor guy you should know a couple of things. 1. Engine start switches with an auto function don’t need to be on, like this aircraft has. 2. Autopilot can be disconnected at 50ft. If weather is the greater threat I would also have that up over terrain. Also, guess what happens if you encounter a GPWS? It automatically pops up. How cool.

[@sek23100]

@ I wrote some of the things that I saw. They were stable at 1000FT except landing ch. list. I am not slandering but blaming mostly the captain for allowing this approach to be recorded and published. Also for letting an inexperienced F/O to fly this approach. 1. Never heard of engine start switch with an auto function in a 737NG which this aircraft is. There is GND, OFF, CONT and FLT. Modes are selected manually. According to landing check list it should be in continuous. But it looks like its not. 2. Autopilot can be disconnected at 5FT if you wish. It is a Boeing limitation written on operating manuals for 737NG type of aicraft for single channel precision approaches (meaning using single autopilot for ILS) which this approach was to disengage autopilot latest at 158FT. You can ask Boeing why if you like. It was a violation. 3. I agree with you GPWS/EGPWS being so cool poping up like that. It is just my opinion and some of the airlines SOP’s to also monitor terrain if there is poor or no visuals. One side can select the weather the other can select terrain. Think about this when your loved ones are flying.

[@WalterMitty-n7b]

@@sek23100 Sorry, you’re just plain wrong about the 158’ disconnect height. As per FCOM L.10.7: “For single channel operation during approach, the autopilot shall not​ remain ​engaged below​ 50ft​ AGL” Maybe it’s different where you operate, but this was perfectly legitimate. If you’re going to throw stones, you really need to have your facts straight - and you do not. (I also have no problem with them both having the radar displayed under those conditions, particularly given that terrain isn’t a significant issue on that approach.)

[@sek23100]

@@WalterMitty-n7b Sorry but you need to check FCOM Limitations chapter one more time and see that your information about 50FT AGL is incorrect. FCOM does not change according to where you operate. It changes according to type of aircraft, the aircrafts certifications or some special specifications (such as short field performace version of 737NG model) FCOM L.10.7 (for 737NG) which you refer to takes you to limitations concerning engine ignition, thrust, Apu, Non-AFM operational info. and Flight controls. You should check FCOM L.10.5 (for 737NG) Autopilot/Flight Director syst. AFM Limitations. There you will see I quote # The minimum use height (MUH) for single channel autopilot operation is defined as 158 feet AGL. Its clear to me that only one autopilot is selected (A/P B) in this approach. If they had dual autopilot selected for an autoland the FMA would have read differently. For example at 1000’ amber single channel would have changed to Land2 or Land3, at 350’ stab trim would have trimmed for auto go-around etc. Which in this case it does not. They are doing a single channel ILS CAT I approach and violating a Boeing 737NG operating procedure by disconnecting the autopilot below 158 feet AGL. When it comes to terrain, these pilots are distracted during approach. Need to change approach type, frequencies, autopilot goes into CWSP/R modes. When they finally capture to ILS, it is nice to check where you are and where you are going. Is ILS correctly captured. Is your distance and altitute correct according to ILS. Which seems like they don’t. At least they don’t talk about it. So they can select terrain on one side and increase their situational awareness. But this is a nice thing to do not a need to do and its my opinion. Bad decision making from the Capt. allowing a two stripe inexperienced F/O who is flying behind the aircraft to make this approach which results in a violation, forgetting the landing check list (from start switch positon being off, hope I’m seeing it wrong) and letting 3rd person into cockpit which records this and puts it on KZbin. I dont’t know which airline this is but I hope their chief is not watching.

[@WalterMitty-n7b]

@ You are still wrong. Your FCOM must be different from mine. In mine, L.10.5 concerns weight limitations, and L.10.7 covers the autopilot/flight director system. The figure of 158’ AGL does not appear anywhere in the document. Please just accept that what applies to you may not apply everywhere else, and that what you think you know might not always be right.

Speedbrake, flap and VS used at the same time. Loss of mode awareness and profile hight meaning a late selection of VS with a small RoD in order to avoid a level off. Missed app altitude not set after GS capture. Multiple attempts by the FO to disengage APP mode after GS capture. FMC approach reloaded and LOC frequency detuned at 10nm resulting in the loss of LOC and GS with the aircraft being flown in CWS roll and pitch (I can't figure for the life of me why they would have done this. This should have resulted in a go around) The FO then mistakes the HDG knob for the airspeed and selected VApp on the HDG instead of the airspeed window. As I said. Not a video I would have put online. But hey 99 % of people won't notice all of this and will think it's a great approach and video.

​@joseph9309 yes, I'm a simple woman and it looked abit messy

[@saxmanb777]

I fly this. No mistakes were made.

[@jacobluv]

​@@joseph9309 Let's address each point one by one. 1. "The use of speedbrakes with flaps extended should be avoided, if possible. With flaps 15 or greater, the speedbrakes should be retracted. If circumstances dictate the use of speedbrakes with flaps extended, high sink rates during the approach should be avoided." - FCTM. So, the speedbrake should be retracted by flap 15. It was by the time flap 15 was selected. Before that, it should be avoided if possible. Clearly, it was not possible here or else they weren't going to meet the speed requirements for 16L. 2. The fact that he decided to use a different mode showed that he was actually aware of the aircraft's height profile. He also had the VSD on his ND, so he couldn't have lost awareness over any mode or profile. What do you mean 'late selection'? There is no prescribed time to use V/S. If you need to use VS or you switched your mind, use VS. 3. Definitely not a hard and fast requirement. Probably would be preferable to do it then, but it is not a must. As long as it is set before landing, it's fine. 4. Becauseeeeeeeee (look below) 5. The reason why this happened was because a message on the FMC appeared. It said, 'RW/APP TUNE DISAGREE'. That means that the navaid frequency that has been tuned in and is being actively used now doesn't match up with what has been programmed in the FMC. The aircraft can pick up these sorts of things. Looks like they had selected the ILS in the FMC but were following the GLS instead (both are pretty much identical). The solution is to quickly program in the GLS. That takes like 2 seconds to do. It does NOT require the crew to go around if that's all it takes. The aircraft was level and descending on profile as it was meant to. These pilots had and paid for their MEIRs and are therefore qualified and have been trained to fly with instruments. 6. No? Heading 125 is the heading to follow when the flying the missed approach procedure for that runway. Good practice to have that preselected instead of fiddling around with the knob when the workload is likely to be higher.

Left that autopilot on way too long. Should have turned it off as soon as he could see the runway. There was no time to get a feel for the flying conditions hence why he slammed it in.

[@SydneyMTB]

no he slammed it to not hydroplane much

[@saxmanb777]

Wrong. AP can stay on until 80 feet.

[@l-shizzle8678]

@@SydneyMTBthere is no relation between hard landings and hydroplaning.

[@l-shizzle8678]

@@saxmanb777yes it CAN, but it’s best practice to turn it off as soon as possible to get an appreciation for conditions. That’s what I was taught on conversion course anyway.

Mate. This is fairly normal conditions in Europe. This is nothing. What you expect turn around and head to Darwin where it’s not raining. 😢

Jeez what an ordeal flying blind by radar. A little similar to trying to find a way to get my fiancés knickers off and land my flying machine whoop whoop!
