I don't think that was a flare it was just a straight go-around, he must've missed the touchdown zone or maybe windshear

[@jakubmazur1240]

It looks like a windshear as he didn't retract the gear for a while. But who knows

[@lbowsk]

VRF day. The chances of it being WS are near zero. A more likely explanation is a tower ordered Go-Around because the plane in front of him did not clear the runway in time. This happens quite frequently. @@jakubmazur1240

[@schwierigerhase8822]

Windshear

[@lbowsk]

[@Kuzo32]

Probably a windshear. You can also hear the wind in the background

[@lbowsk]

Re: The SE Cessna at 1:30.... I used to have my students perform this exact maneuver in Oklahoma way back when I was a CFI at Tulsa Pilots Club at RVS. If the wind was strong enough, and you were light enough you could actually get the plane to fly "backwards". This exercise is a great way to work on flying the plane at Minimum Controllable Airspeed, and demonstrating the relationship between IAS and GS. But it's a horrible way to get anywhere.

[@OnyxCODMobile]

I agree :)

[@DdW85]

Me: "Don't be stupid, there is no reverse gear on a plane!" This guy:

The resemblance to a hummingbird is not very good at all. As a non-pilot, I never even considered this possible.

It takes such skill and bravery to fly the Super Scoopers, I am so sad that we lost so many of these pilots recently :(

Oh... Sad. How? Crashes?

Was there a huge fire?

[@tokencivilian8507]

Back in the day, I pulled that standing still trick in a glider. On the north side of the San Gabriel Mountains north of LA, you can get incredible lift via mountain wave the day before a cold front passes (which is typically the day after the low sweeps through the Pacific Northwest) - results in wind out of the south southwest perfectly perpendicular to the crest of the mountains. Flying out of Crystal Airport, you get the tow to take you south over Devils Punchbowl to pick up the updraft side of the wave. Anyways, up at 10k or so, at 50 or 60 knots indicated it was pretty easy to "hover" over a point on the ground, and if you slowed down a bit, even drift backwards relative to the ground (a slight roll and the bubble canopy on a Grob 102 single seat lets you look darn near straight down). Another fun thing to do was to crab relative to the wind to move parallel to the mountain crest while staying in the updraft part of the wave. When it came time to turn for home, you covered the distance back to the field in a hurry.

[@MCMXI1]

That parallel approach at SFO is always great. Thanks for such a great channel.

[@dianani7498]

Parallel take offs and landings❤🔥

[@BabyGators]

What a silky landing too by the United plane.

The 28s at SFO provide some great parallel shots for plane watchers (and YT channels).

[@robertbate5790]

Seeing the fire tankers sweep in like that always reminds me of the Dambusters. Thrilling sight and sound.

[@erich930]

The first clip: That is not a flare, but rather it is the "pitch up" part of the go around maneuver. You can see it just starts climbing straight away, where as in an excessive flare we would expect the aircraft to float down the runway for a few seconds before the engines had time to speed back up.

[@Youtub77W]

It didn’t flare to high… it went around

[@shellderp]

yeah it started climbing immediately, if that was a flare it would have taken longer for the engines to spool up

[@heftosprod]

1st vid was a straightforward go-around

[@DavidWarrior360]

1:30 that’s so cool!

[@marckhachfe1238]

Merry Xmas everyone. Those Canadair pilots are so amazing. I've seen them a lot in the South of France and its always an impressive sight

These videos!! I could watch for days on end!😀😀

[@neuronbob]

I love flying into SFO. Tandem landings and takeoffs are so cool to watch from another plane.

[@harvey364]

Consistently the best aviation video compilations, each time!

[@Vortex915_Aviator]

as soon as the Emirates A380 pilots got a feeling they weren't going to land smoothly, they initiated a go-around 😂

[@youwebz]

No, wrong

[@I-Love_Aviation.]

Merry Christmas everybody! ❤️ As always, very good video Edit: Thankss for 8 likes! Thanks for 10 likes!

[@andrewbaerm.d.3984]

Hey mate...next time you are in DC please come to Gravely Point. It is a wonderful park just north of runway 19 at Reagan National (DCA.) You can picnic right in back of some of the ILS antennas and if they are landing and taking off to the south, you can enjoy feeling the wing vortices on short final. The VFR river visual approach is one of the most difficult in the country as heavy aircraft make a sharp right turn very close to the end of the runway.

[@starguy2718]

Love the parallel landings at SFO.

[@jonty1591]

All beautiful videos.... What a joy

[@Billybobble1]

Seeing those aircraft coming in low to scoop some water reminded me that not all heroes wear capes, but some do indeed fly.

[@paulappleyard5832]

I saw that A380 go around I think. It was during the storm a few days ago. It's really unusual to see planes let alone a 380 near ours. I was walking the dog when I saw it I checked flight radar as it was so unusual and you could see the track.

[@bertg.6056]

When I was taking training in a C-150, it was quite easy to 'float' against the winds coming over the mountains east of San Diego. Fun times !

[@jadersonmedeiros1032]

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND MAY GOD BLESS EVERY HOME! AMEN!🤗🌟🌟⭐⭐

[@mikezerker6925]

That last clip was really cool!

[@747-8F]

The SFO 28 landings are beautiful even for the pilots,however one cannot overtake the traffic on the parallel app,which calls for an immediate g/a.

[@BernardoVadell]

merry christmas my friend👍🏻👍🏻✈️🎅🎅

[@user-ft8hf8pm9x]

I admire every single one of you folks who can get thousands of pounds into the air, fly to your destinations, and safely put those big, beautiful birds back down onto the ground! And the crabb manuver in crosswind landings is the coolest thing I've ever seen!

[@walkerdouglas-og2co]

So fastantic amazing landing

[@richardgarno6591]

I had a similar experience at SFO. On a United flight and landed in parallel with a Southwest flight on our left. Bugger beat us down by about five seconds.

[@FlyGuy2000]

SFO must do that on purpose, I've been on a number of flights where there is a near-simultaneous landing on the parallel runway.

[@chrisschack9716]

That's exactly what they do, they can't have either plane in the other's wake on landing. This way, if they set it up right, it's far more landings per hour.

[@luissuarez7623]

The last one looked a lot like MSFS to me. I was confused at the beginning. What a time to be alive haha

[@karenfyhr2363]

Merry Christmas.. Those crosswind Landings can be challenging If you like those Canadian fire tanker planes, check out the movie Always, starring Richard Dreyfuss and John Goodman

He didn't flare too high, that was the initiation of the go-around. Best not to add titles to the videos if you don't understand what you are looking at.

[@fatimaali8645]

Are 737s long or short haul aircraft and is Birmingham airport international?

[@JM1701ABCD]

Are you making a 2023 best of video this year?

[@MoultrieGeek]

That parallel landing was amazing. I'm assuming there is no wake turbulence during this?

[@MainSequence1]

The wake is behind planes.

[@tobylou8]

The A380 was trying to land in Storm Pia. It took 3 attempts to make it. I watched it live, plane was all over the place twice, they made it on the 3rd attempt after waiting for the wind to die down.

[@adamp1917]

The Finnair didn’t bank right after landing, it was a well executed crosswind landing in very gusty conditions. The wind was from the right, bound to require some right wing down.

[@user-gs2vc4jz3n]

merry Christmas guys

[@trevormann8221]

Great reaction from them Emirates pilots, realised the situation immediately and reacted accordingly. Good work guys. Fly emirates.

[@iHatePolitics]

He didn't flare. It was a go-around. This A380 did two at Birmingham dye to Storm Pia. It then entered a hold for 30 mins before landing successfully.

[@Lufty747fan]

Yeah it was a last second go around saw that with a Korean 747 at LAX

[@robloxplayer2876]

I think you made a type because on the last clip, it was a United 737-900ER not a -800

[@jetspottingmelbourne]

Wow ❤

[@pyro3rg]

Was the "flare too high" really a flare too high or a go around? They got on the power very quickly if they just over sent the flare.

[@ukar69]

There was no flare and holding off, it was a go around for some reason.

[@wilsont1010]

There was no reason to initiate a go around, it was just another ordinary landing, if the pilots have bot overflared the plane.

[@NeonVisual]

Oooh, three minutes and 1 second. Must be xmas

[@user-di5db2ij5b]

Thats a good around

[@I_liek_planes]

🔥🔥🔥

[@GarrettWorcester]

Parallel landings are freakin' excellent... fight me.

[@hpygolkyone]

Me thinks that A380 just floated too far past the landing markings and did a go-around. 😉

[@maskedavenger2578]

Pilot bottled it .

[@aadz22]

I work at Manchester Airport on the ramps and due to the wind storms we have been having I was wondering when I would see some of the landings I've seen on KZbin 🤣

[@erichmercado]

Question, does the Cessna with strong headwind can explain about a clip of a big civilian aircraft not moving midair? Or is it still parallax? 🤔

[@u2bear377]

Landing speed of Boeing 737 is about -19O- 150+ knots. Quite a strong headwind should it be.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@u2bear377more like 130 knots.

[@vitalylesindorf640]

Like for the parallel 373 landing.

[@shanelocke237]

How AWESOME it must be to be a pilot,the places you get to go &see plus getting paid to do that.....

[@TroyMorePhotography]

The A380s pitch change is exaggerated by the focal length of the camera lens. Just like the changes in elevation of the runway.

[@peterchallis3489]

As an atc... that is a controlled go round

[@stevenlarratt3638]

A380 was still 200' above the touchdown area so did a go around

[@wilsont1010]

Is that runway a little too short for this aircraft?

[@lorelore7195]

I think you should include video credits.

[@MeppyMan]

They do in the doodlidoo

[@tenpiloto]

Again, you don’t get it. That 380 didn’t “flare too high”-that was a go around initiation. And that Finnair pilot made the serious mistake of letting up on left aileron input as he touched down-a big NO NO.

[@15.9.24]

1:26 POV: you turn on cruising mode on a plane in ptfs

[@mocko69]

Why is my beloved A380 in the video almost every week 😭😭

[@fart3757]

❤

[@tomw7967]

Definitely no flare involved. Far too high anyway. That was a straight go around

[@Sheesh_masheen]

Too this too that

[@youwebz]

That A380 wasn’t a flare too high situation, it was a landing outside the touchdown zone situation - hence the go-around. I know, as I flew them.

[@Korpenko]

The finnair might be a pilot technique to trigger the touchdown.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

It is and I’ve do it too, but it’s a bad habit. 😂😂.

[@michaelerb9143]

Finnair pilots saw the A380 the same time we did, and were as awestruck as we were.

[@graemewindley1614]

You can always go round again.

[@GeneralSeptem]

Those firefighting planes could carry a lot more water if their pilots' balls weren't so heavy.

[@coldlakealta4043]

great comment

[@user-xr7yl5tz1x]

Just a go around I think

[@kevindigo22]

Manchester and Birmingham are the places to be for good wind action....the A380 flares too high? Looked like what you are calling a flare was just the initiation of the GA.
