A380 Flies Too Close To Another A380

The TCAS must've been running wild on the first video. :)

[@thisisobvious]

I bet it was like christmas in both cockpits... TAs, RAs, bells, whistles, flashing lights, vibrations 🤣

[@panda4247]

the first one has to be filmed with quite a long zoom, so the field of view is narrow and they look similar in size, thus much closer to each other than they actually are... No way this would have happened they way it looks...

[@grahammonk8013]

@panda4247 The zoom *does* compress things, but the apparent size is similar enough that I think it got a lot closer than either pilot or ATC intended. *EDIT* It was a formation flyover over Sidney. So definitely a LOT closer than would normally be allowed. If you watch the source video, you will note that the leading airplane stays lower than the trailing one to avoid flying into the wake turbulence which sinks.

[@JediKnyghte]

I figured it was a formation flight.

[@NeonVisual]

A380s look like inflatables when they fly at their slowest speed. It seems impossible that enough lift is generated to keep them up there

[@AbdullahNajib-b9z]

''dont waste helium,its precious'' airbus:nothing to look at here boeing during 747: nothing to look at here airbsu during a320:no helium here(plane crashes due to automation proving airbus was correct)

[@brandspro]

I used to stand at the end of the runway at Dover Air Force Base and watch C-5s shoot touch and goes. You would swear that you could jog along beside them. How something that big can just hang in air like that is unreal. Some of the more aggressive approaches are even more mind blowing.

The Airbus going over the bridge - until Denver moved their airport into .. um, KANSAS, they had a taxiway over I-70. Really wild going under that taxiway overpass when something like a 747 was taxiing over it!!

LAX South runways pass over 6 lanes of Sepulveda Blvd in LA. Bridge is wide enough that you only get a glimpse of wide-bodies, if any at all. Easier to see when landing.😁

*Those two A380s are displaying courtship behaviour* - I don't think this has ever been caught on camera before now. Some aviation-conservationists have even hypothesised that following the elaborate aerial courtship displays we're witnessing here, this species actually mates 'on the wing', something only ever observed in the Common Swift (Apus apus). Very exciting stuff indeed. Thank you 3MOA.

[@fluchterschoen]

@@thezood Precisely. Around 8 months of age the little A320s, now not so little, fledge into A380s, leave the nest, and go off to join other airlines.

[@fluchterschoen]

@@Timmycoo "Look how the male super-jumbo, resplendent in his brightly-coloured Emirates livery, impresses the female by rolling his wings, while all the time staying focussed on her APU. Now, rather smitten it would seem, the female coyly extends her flaps a little more - a sure signal to the male that she is ready. The male, close enough that he can smell the faint trace of kerosene from her APU, begins to lower his gear.'

[@ValuedTeamMember]

The "shear" amount of wind at this airport just "blows me away". Its very uplifting to see them finally make it. Just saying

It’s a 20 year old aircraft (D-AIKC) why would you blame it on Airbus. Their quality control is way better than that of Boeing. Definitely fell off over the years but still way better.

[@AbdullahNajib-b9z]

@@AMA-LLS so why do you daily mail journalists blame boeing for the wheel drop and 737 wing panel blowout?

[@AMA-LLS]

@@AbdullahNajib-b9z Boeing as a company is facing a lot of internal problems. You can read more about it. From the 737max scandals to the engineers being told to stay quiet to cheaping out on materials, etc.. I am more of a Boeing fan but lately Airbus has been doing far better. I work in engineering and have experience with both Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Airbus is just better at the moment.

[@Timmycoo]

Woah, that's the first time I've seen an airplane go over a bridge with actual traffic underneath. Pretty awesome.

[@desmond-hawkins]

It's one of the coolest parts about approaching an airport in a car in locations where taxiways go over some roads. If the airport is busy enough you're pretty much guaranteed to see a plane taxiing while you're on the road. In my experience this is more common in Europe where airports won't be far from cities in the middle of nowhere, but closer to population centers and roadways. In Germany especially there are several airports with taxiways over the Autobahn (highway). Leipzig has several going over the A14 (one runway on each side!), Frankfurt one over the A3. Leipzig airport is actually well-known for this, check out their layout on a maps app or search for _Leipzig airport bridge_ images for some crazy shots… 🤯

There should be some sort of bypass in jet engines so pilots can run them at higher RPM than needed while landing. This way, they're not dependent on slow engine spool up if they need power (eg. in a wind sheer), they can just slam the bypass closed and bam, instant power.
