[@WhiskeyGulf71]

That old air India 747 was run in to the ground before retirement ! Did they run it on diesel before it was scrapped😮

[@ThePsiclone]

no..I think that one was coal fired

[@SocratesAth]

Fun fact: jet fuel is actually pretty close to diesel fuel. People often expect that aviation engines use the highest quality fuel, but in reality, turbine engines can burn pretty much anything, so they normally use a rather cheap, diesel-like fuel.

[@pazuzu7119]

​@@SocratesAthI always thought it was kerosene.

[@SocratesAth]

@@pazuzu7119 You're right! And kerosene is very close to diesel, in terms of its composition, chemical properties, as well as cost.

[@RonaldPottol]

Originally, it was kerosene cut with gasoline, to help it stay liquid at lower temperatures. Basically fancy kerosene, NATO uses the same fuel in both diesel and turbines.

According to comments on VAS Aviation's clip of this video, this particular landing was done by the First Officer who was in training, and it's this bad likely because pilots coming to the 747 aren't used to the cockpit being higher-up. The second landing was smooth as butter.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Reminds me of the one I saw live years ago, LAX, Airbus' nose gear twists 90 degrees to straighten out as it is deployed, but this one stayed locked, cross-ways, so dumped fuel, landed, tires blew out in front, ground down the rims on the tarmac, no injuries.

A380 очень хотел попасть на нужную рулёжку. В итоге попал еще и на замену пневматиков :)

[@polpan1973]

I don't think the A380 gear skidded due to a wrong input by the pilot. It appears as if something went wrong with the brakes or the nose wheels. I noticed that the smoke appeared before the plane started turning, or at the very beginning of the turn and I am not sure it actually skidded. From the looks of it, I would say that the wheels keep on turning - the smoke is coming from all around the tires, not just the contact point with the tarmac. If I did not know any better, I would suggest that the wheels were spinning 🤣Any other opinions?

[@Pesmog]

It was explained to me by an aircraft engineer that the front wheels on many airliners are often very lightly loaded at taxi, getting them to bite when turning can sometimes be a problem which can generate understeer. Apparently assymetrically adjusting engine thrust can help. As the front gear can be so lightly loaded it is one of various reasons why nose wheels don't have brakes as they would not work well. Front skids like this are quite a common occurance and there are quite a few videos on the Web showing them. I have witnessed KC-135s doing something similar three or four times over the years when trying to execute a 180 degree reversal on a runway.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@FrancoisTX1974 a touch and go, we do things differently. We don’t arm the ground spoilers, we remain on the runway and retract the flaps from landing flaps to a proper take off setting. The engines get spooled up after the flaps are back at take off, we stay on the runway and accelerate to a proper rotation speed. That’s a touch and go. A go around means we abort the landing. If that means we touch down, that’s fine, it’s still a go around. Flaps don’t get repositioned. The speed will remain high enough to immediately climb out. This was a good around, not a touch and go.
