A380 Landing Goes Wrong

[@enigmawyoming5201]

That landing of a 767 in Antarctica is a rare and wonderful video! I like how the shadow looks like there is a huge GoPro camera mounted above the flight deck.

[@alvexok5523]

Can you imagine how frigidly cold it must be there in Antarctica, it must be about -50 or -60 degrees. I know in the wintertime there it gets colder than -100, but that's when it's dark outside and when nobody would be going outside because it would simply be too dangerously cold. Aircrafts at that time of year don't even take off or land, do they? Because engines would freeze up and not work within a few minutes of being exposed to that low of temperatures, wouldn't it?

[@ineshvij]

Did the flight actually fly all the way from Iceland to Antarctica !?

[@Jasewoz]

To me it looks like he saved it in the last half second, maybe releasing the back pressure just as the back bogeys touched, allowing the front bogeys to touch gently enough. Certainly not as bad as the intro led me to believe! Click bait?! Lol

[@miker4110]

The Antarctica landing was shockingly smooth! I wonder if if helps that packed snow is softer than asphalt / concrete. Is it maybe less bouncy?

[@Paul-bd7fe]

Maybe they’d just only hire the best of the best pilots to land somewhere so exotic

[@fluchterschoen]

It's important to point out that isn't really snow. It's ice. Antarctica is the world's largest desert: it only gets around five inches of precipitation per year. Although the ice is derived from snow, the ice covering Antarctica is the result of around 60 million years of (minimal) snowfall that has never had the opportunity to melt off. Most of you will be ahead of me on this point already: if you only ever defrosted your refrigerator every 60 million years it would be almost indistinguishable from Antarctica, and just like Antarctica it'd be over-run with Polar Bears 🐻‍❄ . And trust me: from personal experience you don't want Polar Bears in your refrigerator, they eat everything and are quite anti-social. So defrost regularly folks. End of lecture. You're welcome :) 🤣

[@tracytrawick322]

Ditto, those are ice runways with some surface snow. That said, if for whatever God forsaken reason I'm along for the ride, I'll be asking; Exactly how thick did you say the ice is??

[@SpassImGlas]

@@fluchterschoen Every refrigerator in the world has as many Polar Bears as the Antarctic. You are welcome.

[@patb2010]

[@Meisha-san]

With the Antatica runaways, you may not have a centerline, but you certainly have plenty of stopping distance.

[@annakeye]

It was a nice landing though, I'm always impressed by any plane landing the ice.

[@RoyalMela]

Not really. The runway has to be cleared way better than normal runway before every landing and takeoff. The ice is not smooth, far from it.

[@Meisha-san]

I've seen a Zamboni-type machine being used to compact ice runaways. There are other methods too.

[@Syritis]

@@Meisha-san as a non pilot, you'd assume landing on icy runways, the only difference be replying on reverse thrusters rather than brakes.

[@aluisious]

Sure, as long as you don't care about ever taking off again.

[@planemad]

The growl from that lufty a380 was epic!!! I love you’re videos 👏👏👏👏❤️

[@marcusraykowski5935]

The A380 approach to Leipzig most probably did NOT go wrong because it was only a training flight. Not touching down saves a lot of landing fees.

[@brentsummers7377]

[@fritzberg1]

Right. In late spring 2023 Lufthansa performed daily training flights from Munic-Leipzig-Prag-Vienna-Munic before commencing regular A380-flights in June.

That Antarctica landing was a butter landing. That pilot was very skilled. 👍

[@Roybwatchin]

I'm guessing only certain pilots are cleared to fly into and out of Antarctica.... Seems like they would need an extra level of training, but this is just a guess.

compared to other video's it seemed premature for the piolets to go around as opposed to trying to land but considering it's a freaking huge plane, i don't question their willingness to be cautious.

An interesting act regarding the red arrows "In 2019 the red arrows sprayed 643000 litres of diesel and 63000 litres of coloured dye" yet we are being told cows burping is bad for the planeT ??

[@Silo-Ren]

​@@ericturner2477a lot of it happens over water which is still not good, but the biggest blunder so far was the pilot that panicked over a California and the fuel ended up falling on a school while children were outside playing. Many of them suffered lung injuries. It was a really bad move on his part.

[@bramesque]

I liked every clip and the Stol was cool indeed, but the dumping made me sick, never understood why there is no alternative. Landing a heavy plane must be a bit more difficult because of a higher ground speed, is this the problem? Or is it a safety measure to prevent the plane from becoming a giant fireball when the landing fails?

[@Silo-Ren]

@@bramesque a little bit of both, but it's mostly the weight and those tires being so expensive they definitely don't want to have to replace the ones that blowout on heavy landings.

[@SectionNyne]

Operating in extreme polar conditions is a very specialized skill. It's pretty common that the various air services that operate in Antarctica are from countries the have access to the Arctic. For example those mid-winter Antarctic rescue flights that make the news every few years are flown by Kenn Borek Air, a Canadian operator.

It landed in a small airport in Gimli ,Manitoba / Canada, and it's called the Gimli Glider. That plane if high enough, with enough speed, could glide and land with "no engines", with an experienced pilot. You can google the Gimli Glider, and see for yourself.
