That moon fly-by was amazing.

[@Boss_Tanaka]

The best moment of the video

[@tomstamford6837]

Wouldn't have looked as good had they flew behind the moon though. made ya look! of course it was a joke! 🤓

[@MeppyMan]

@@tomstamford6837lol

[@Artess-od8wb]

Pilots have nerves of steel, they didn't hesitate for a moment even though they were flying so close to it they almost hit it!

[@srplaness]

Thank you very much, im glad you liked it 😄

[@miket2120]

Not only was the moon flyby absolutely beautiful (looks like an early morning shot without any heat distortion), the tracking was perfect.

[@stefanschneider3681]

As a hobby-astrophotographer the moon-video was obviously my favourite!

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

same

[@ArtUniverse]

The tracking in the moon video is outstandingly smooth. I'm assuming it was taken with a motorized telescope and/or stabilized in post.

[@tomstamford6837]

Yeah, wouldn't have look as good if they flew behind the moon.

[@dougaltolan3017]

​@@tomstamford6837🤦‍♂️

[@dougaltolan3017]

Yup, and the person filming this wishing they were a few miles further south!

[@iHatePolitics]

The A340-600 will forever be my favourite wide-body. Such a sleek, beautiful plane.

[@tonynk1705]

same, especially those landing gears

[@BigSlickNuts2]

Always 3min well spent. Thank-you!

[@3MinutesofAviation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mco25]

Agreed! As an aviation enthusiast for a while, I love these videos of how short they are and the quality of the clips

[@SwapBlogRU]

That 747 landing did look really rough. I find it pretty amazing that such a huge and heavy plane was able to just eat it up without sustaining any damage.

[@BertFlanders]

It was a positive landing indeed. I guess a positive crew ....

[@nickarganbright7218]

They probably still had to do a hard landing inspection after. They may look an possibly be undamaged, but they usually do a thorough inspection after a really hard landing just in case.

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

true, but most landings are fine and will probably just end up with a quick inspection, but i don’t really know too much about the topic

[@CerberusTenshi]

Rough? What about it was rough? That landing wasn't even all that firm

[@CerberusTenshi]

​@@nickarganbright7218That was not a hard landing. No need for a hard landing inspection.

[@fishypie]

the moon clip was fantastic

[@Kdschaak]

Absolutely stunning.

[@ronparrish6666]

Next stop Mars

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

probably my favorite clip so far

[@iandamianluciferwilson7385]

I would be even more impressed by that Eurowings A320 passing Behind the moon.

[@maltaconvoy]

Quality content. The moon shot was sublime. Thanks for this.

[@nejlak741]

Omg the a350 parallel landing stunning

[@icollectstories5702]

But who won??

[@avgeektours]

Thank you for sharing my A350 clip! Love the complete video!

[@TheStuport]

The MOON Shots never get old! Cheers From The Clouds in Ohio 👋

[@Sliverbane]

Thank you to pilots, flight attendants, technicians, air traffic controllers, mechanics and crew that get us to our destination and home again!

[@Aviator27J]

And dispatchers, but most people don't know they exist 😉

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

That eurowings jet was really close to hitting the moon, bet the passengers were panicking

[@joeg5414]

zero situational awareness. They came way too close

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

finally someone who points this out, i can’t believe that they would even attempt to do something as dangerous as that!

[@tomstamford6837]

@@Your_Local_Nerd Nah... no danger at all. We all know the moon is only a hologram, nothing solid to hit. It's the glass dome you gotta worry about.

[@MeppyMan]

The funny thing about this thread is there are people who actually think this. Boggles my mind.

[@czecharmy8722]

Nobody gonna talk about the butter landing the A340 did without one of its winglets?

[@immnots1mp]

I was looking for a comment about it Yes, i noticed it

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

Yes, the A340 always makes smooth landings, i’ve never seen a hard one besides ones with bad weather conditions

[@naythanbryson7458]

It was probably talked about when he last posted that clip

[@Julienthepooh]

The QTR A350 is a -1000, it's hard to count the MLG wheels but the bogie orientation is clearly not the same 😉

[@bugjuicer]

The landing by the A340 with the missing winglet was like butter, lovely jubley...

[@CerberusTenshi]

Where the hell was the 747 landing hard? Amsterdam has a relatively gentle glide slope. That was a very nice landing. The flaps barely shook at all. The main gear touched the runway nicely, no bounce.

[@MeppyMan]

Yeah wasn’t that hard, but didn’t look like the flare did much. Too heavy or too slow?

[@CerberusTenshi]

@@MeppyMan No, it's just that the video is sped up, which makes it look more damatic than it actually was. You can see that by how the tyres smoke forms and disappears and the wiggle of the flaps. Physics don't work like that on normal speed.

[@MeppyMan]

@@CerberusTenshi didn’t look sped up to me. So I went and watched the original which is quite old. Nothing to indicate it’s sped up. Also looked right to me. Im an ex pilot who studied physics though, so I could be wrong. Lol.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

1:47 two aircraft from nearly opposite sides of the globe, too.

[@kdm_entertainment]

Wouldnt a separate controller for each runway just cause more confusion?

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

It might, but 1 controller controlling 2 planes landing at the same time on 2 parallel runways would be stressful for the control, and equally confusing but honestly i don’t really know, since i figured it’d be 1 controller to begin with

[@EdOeuna]

There’s an entire system behind fling PRM approaches, so it is more than just two independent controllers.

[@AndrewPinkFloyd]

1:05 What an amazing shot!

[@mattball2700]

That moon shot was amazing!

[@nicholasthompson5470]

For the wing condensation and how stunning it was I couldn’t see the wing from all the condensation lol

[@rharbarenko]

Holy Crap! I thought that a320 was going to hit the moon for sure!! 😂

[@michaelelkin9542]

I only want to know what camera was used for that moon shot? Absolutely insane.

[@cleversonmatos741]

Um A340! Não me lembro quando vi um… Quatro motores e com fuselagem bem comprida. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nejlak741]

Oh my god that moon pass was unbelievable

[@karaDee2363]

Great shot of the Moon. It looked so close that you could reach out and touch it

[@Deion245]

Nice love that 747 landing

"Flares too late" is the approved landing method at Ryanair.

[@RealJurguensLotharsStudio]

Nice

[@andyl6742]

Winglet or no winglet, that pilot of the A340 greased that landing.

[@davef.2329]

Wonder if/how the winglet is addressed in the CDL/MEL?

[@hyrrokinfamily]

@@davef.2329 Not required but apply fuel penalty

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

Yeah, that was a nice landing!

[@BEN_COX]

Is anyone gonna give him a like because he made it exactly 3mins

[@estebanriosrodenas]

PRM approaches are not in effect in SFO anymore. That info is outdated. Cool videos!

[@Abu_Champ]

Anyone gonna talk about that extremely butter landing of the iberia a340

[@djspecialk1]

Those A350s!!

[@unknown_astro8433]

0:49 that's even lower 👀

[@unimarsh]

That A-340 buttered tho!

[@PN_48]

“Butter”…😂 Said no-one ever….

[@helmutalexanderoelkers640]

Hi! Your videos are amazing but it's nearly always described as "too low", "too hard", "too fast". No, it's not "too". There are simply performances with different parameters. Please check what a "hard landing" really is or when a plane is flying "too" low. But anyways, I enjoy your aviation channel.

[@inncogneato6341]

Would ‘very’ suit you better?

[@helmutalexanderoelkers640]

@@inncogneato6341 Amazing! ;-)

[@H4RedOctober]

Its not too rough a landing until it crashes into the terminals.

Isn’t perspective cool.

[@mikhailjairnisbett441]

yay no clickbait thumbnail!

[@Republic3D]

The A330 and A340 is certified to fly revenue flights with one or two missing winglets. The only penalty is 3% more fuel burn.

[@imSterling]

I like how that A346 looks w/out winglets.

[@LisbonAirportSpotting]

Is that b747 video speed up? Looks like

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

yea probably, either that or it was landing faster than usual

[@bikeny]

Nice moon shot. Any idea what happened to the winglet piece?

[@donnabaardsen5372]

LOVE this channel ❤

[@jamessimms415]

Sadly, no Aerosucrae

[@gerrycorbino66]

The whole video was amazing. Wondering if the winglet on the Iberia plane fell off during flight or the plane was allowed to depart with it missing? I can't believe they'd be allowed to fly without repairing/replacing the winglet but, stranger things have happened before.

[@dal20402]

They can fly without one or both winglets; they just have to apply a fuel burn penalty to fuel calculations.

[@EdOeuna]

CDL.

[@Spyke-lz2hl]

747 nosewheel touchdown was nice…

[@--SPQR--]

I hear it's very tyring

[@markcardwell]

Good one!

[@sailaab]

Hope that winger isn't missing due to negligent maintenance. Although even having it hit other object (for it to detach such) is just as problematic

[@catacv9]

Eurowings not passed moon. :) Ias a bit down, bit not crossing moon.

[@StephenBradley2317]

I've always wonderd what happens if you lose a winglet. I guess you just keep on keepin' on.

[@diabolo3600]

Most time mechanics remove the winglet and let Aircraft fly with only one.

[@davidf6326]

How do you 'lose' a winglet? This was an Airbus, not a Boeing 😁

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

@@davidf6326true, but you get the general idea

[@CerberusTenshi]

What are you supposed to do in your mind? Stop on the side of the flight path and wait for AAA to arrive and fix it? Winglets are not relevant for flight safety or passenger comfort. If it's damaged, just take it off, let the plane fly. The only thing it does, is create a bit more turbulence and thereby fuel consumption. There are protocols for operations with one or both winglets missing.

[@Your_Local_Nerd]

@@CerberusTenshi i’m not sure if this is what he was thinking, but he probably thought that if a plane lost a park of its winglet/sharklet mid-flight then it would have trouble flying, since it would leave one wing with less aerodynamic drag

[@flafik]

With that 747 I would say airspeed was the issue, both flare and and angle was correct.

[@Chris-ho4ki]

I didn’t know Aero Sucre had 74’s

[@JamesAnderson-mr2sg]

When the plane is certified it has to land with out flaring three times in a row fully loaded. 1969 flight test program 747

[@eddiespectral]

"Flare too late" and special movement from British Airways

[@davidf6326]

Am I missing something? What's the connection to BA?

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

that's serial not parallel. parallel would be at the same time next to each other. This is one after the other.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Parallel landings seems bad idea, could be wake turbulence crash.

[@catacv9]

The A350 is not in paralel, SORRY.. :)

[@Nobilangelo]

Why flare when you can hop, skip and jump your way to 3 seconds of stardom on 3 Minutes of Aviation?

[@dennisaston3551]

I don't think I actually saw that 747 flare

[@Nunyobidne55]

Thats a 3 wire for sure

[@flyinghedgehog3833]

Only flew 74 200/300.They could take much more than that...trust me!

[@lolcatz88]

How exactly does one actually LOSE a winglet?

[@--SPQR--]

They didn't. It's been taken off for maintenance and is not required to fly. Only purpose of winglets is fuel economy.

[@verifiedtoxicangel2411]

Just proved by Air Iberia that a plane can land smoothly without one winglet/sharklet. All airlines to fly with just one winglet as they prefer smooth landings.

[@--SPQR--]

Winglets make no difference whatsoever in aircraft maneuverability. Their only purpose is fuel economy (reduce intensity of wingtip vortices).

[@verifiedtoxicangel2411]

@@--SPQR-- Oh yes, you're right. and you'll also be right if you learn to detect humor in comments.
