I don't think the A330 even felt that landing. That was absolutely smooth

[@Silo-Ren]

Won't go as far as to say absolutely smooth, but yeah man, I thought that wasn't too bad. Passengers inside were probably clapping. ☺

[@502RetailPartners]

@@Silo-Ren yea, he needs to stick to boats.

[@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

[@hilman94]

well probably compare to Ryanair... 😅

[@jianglaiaidenpi4021]

I agree it look like a 8/10 butter landing

[@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 !?

[@ThatMemoryIsAlive]

The noise A380's engines ~ 0:37 was just something else.

[@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.

[@MRT_Playz]

2:11 one of the shortest takeoffs in history

[@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]

That A380 going around is incredible when you think about the mass and energy involved.

[@AnimalisMD]

What amazes me most is that the wind has enough power to destabilize a huge aircraft like that!

[@danielclooney6248]

The LH attempting to land and then full power was wonderful. I love to hear the surge of those engines.

[@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]

Not sure the left wing had dipped a lot..

[@fritzberg1]

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

[@atarax232323]

Yes I agree with yo because I think there aren't regular flights with A380 at Leipzig airoport !

[@txcrix9236]

00:34 I love the sound of the engines when they spool up. You can practically feel the powerful thrust they're creating. A380: "I wanna be a C-5 for Halloween!"

[@kimiraikkonen4226]

Except for the fact that the a380 is much more powerful than a C5.. The A380 has a takeoff thrust of 280'000lbs while the c5 only has 200'000 lbs of thrust..

[@trespire]

The Air Portugal A330-200 nailed that landing, outstanding skill of the pilot and crew.

[@ronaldmessina4229]

Air Portugal is also known as TAP

[@atubebuff]

0:22 The windsock shows practically no wind so the right and left corrections at the last minute seem unexpected.

[@planemad]

I think it was circuit training just before starting long haul flights again 🤔 Epic all the same!!!

[@wakeupcall2665]

Leipzig Halle Airport is used for pilot training, lots of touch and goes and go arounds. Lufthansa started to operate their A380s again on regular passenger services after COVID and temporary storage of the fleet.

[@Syritis]

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.

[@KitsuneAdorable]

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.

[@Syritis]

the more and more I watch, that icelandair landing in antartica is impressive. firmly sicks the landing yet maintains the lift for a smooth nose gear.

[@grantp4022]

Love those 767's, as that's the same plane that ran out of gas about 180 miles short of an airport, and "glided" all the way there with Captain Pearson. 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. It's such a great aero dynamic plane. I love that plane :)

[@EIVLN]

That TAP Landing was text book in relation to a contaminated runway.

[@19MarcoPolo71]

That Boeing 767 landing reminds me of the Clint Eastwood movie Firefox where he landed on ice to get refueled by a submarine.

[@stonew1927]

My favorite was the STOL plane. Practically went up and down like a helicopter! LOL The A380 dumping fuel makes me wonder about the environmental effects of all the aircraft dumping fuel into the atmosphere. Yes it dissipates, but it must have some kind of deleterious effect.

[@billb7876]

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.

Was it Antartica or Artic? Seems unlikely an Icelandic Air would be flying to the south pole.

[@lucaslorenz8812]

I'm also wondering why Icelandair is flying to Antarctica.

[@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.
