[@fluchterschoen]

I hope you'll appreciate this small grammatical correction. Writing "I'll never miss none of your videos" makes you sound like a Victorian street-urchin out of a Dickens novel such as Oliver Twist or Hard Times. All that's missing is the word "mister" at the end. It's also a double-negative, so to non-Victorian-street-urchins you're actually saying, "I'll always miss all of your videos". What you want to write is "I'll never miss any of your videos, mister" or "I will miss none of your videos, mister". Even, "I shall watch every one of your videos, mister". They are a very good creator though - you're spot on there! They must rack up some amount of Air Miles flying all over the place just to make these clips. Kudos to 3MOA.

Pilots are not "losing control". These are cross wind landings that can be extremely tricky. Damn good pilots from my perspective!

[@tomstamford6837]

If you skid on black ice or water on the road do you consider that not "losing control"? Being blown off trajectory by a gust or wind shear _is_ losing control.

[@TheGospelQuartetParadise]

That triple 7 pilot made an amazing recovery of what should have been a go around. Apparently just before touchdown was hit by a severe crosswind gust.

[@fluchterschoen]

Very astute. I read something about a severe crosswind. I think it was in the captions in this video. The footage also supports your crosswind theory. Five thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

[@gordonbryan8381]

That China Southern crosswind landing video should be used by EVERY airline in their crosswind landing training modules. Never seen one any smoother or more finely controlled than that.

[@ianchandley]

@@gordonbryan8381easy enough when there is a steady crosswind, but if the wind gusts or drops suddenly, then all the parameters change and the anticipated actions go out the window….

[@777driver7]

Nope, it was a PIO, even in a very gusty xwind, the 77W has very effective ailerons and a massive rudder surface. The PF over controlled after the gust hit. Speaking from over 11000 hrs of operating the 777 (All variants)

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

If it should have been a go around then they should have gone around. That much roll that close to the ground is very dangerous.

[@trainliker100]

I'm forever amazed at the speed of development of aircraft. From the Wright Flyer in 1903 to the 707 jet in airliner 1957 was a mere 54 years. Less than one lifetime. And then there is the safety record. Not perfect, but pretty close. Pre COVID the number of flights worldwide had climbed to 40 MILLION per year and I guess it is now getting back to those numbers. I'm amazed these things aren't dropping out of the sky every day. It's amazing what humans can do when they aren't busy killing each other. On the other hand, things like WWII spurred a lot of the development. So perhaps there can be benefits from killing each other.

[@hopp067]

Absolutely! The biggest development which i find crazy is how the Avro Lancaster's first flight was a mere 15 years before the Avro Vulcan.

The AC 77W, classic PIO (Pilot induced oscillation), they were hit with a gust and the PF over-controlled, it’s something I’d see fairly regularly to those new to type, particularly if they’d had a lot of previous 737 time.

Toronto has a pair of 33-15 runways that better align with that wind, too bad they don't use them when the crosswind is that high. All it will take is one 777 crash to change that, though.
