*The Singapore Pilot seems to already know something was wrong before touchdown as he made sure to lightly lower the nose, must have had a warning of a flat tyre maybe*

[@Obeythebeard]

Yeah, something is off. Seems like the smoke is coming even before the nose wheel has really started turning that much.

[@mignav464]

Don't think so, dude just turned using the tiller only, he didn't deflect the rudder, this technique is only to be used when at taxi speed, not at a high speed turnoff.

[@Obeythebeard]

@@mignav464 Ok, but if so, why do such a move? Brain fart? By the time a pilot reaches the cockpit of an A380 it seems they should be experienced enough not to make such a mistake. Not that they are infallible but I reckon a high speed turn should be routine.

[@meldroc]

I looked at the clip a little more closely - it was a flat tire, and you could see it just before he turned off the runway. Pilot did look like he was trying to land very gently.

[@foxxster3565]

Yep, he kept that nose wheel off the ground as long as he could. Definitely an issue prior to landing that the pilot was well aware of.

Smoke came from the nose wheel even right before the turn so something must have been wrong with the nose gear, and as someone pointed out - the pf seems to hold the flare for quite some time before setting the nose down on the ground so they must probably had an indication someting was wrong.

[@EdOeuna]

If they had a nose gear problem within they would vacate the runway much more slowly.

[@sighfly2928]

@@EdOeunait’s a flat tyre

[@EdOeuna]

@@sighfly2928 - they wouldn’t taxi off that quickly with a flat tyre. They would receive an ECAM message telling them they have low pressure and would adjust their technique accordingly, assume that ECAM isn’t inhibited during the late approach and landing phase. Some have suggested that the pilot gingerly lowers the nose because of a flat tyre, again, you wouldn’t vacate the runway like that if you already knew the tyre was flat.

[@pkofty8446]

Highly unlikely! The procedure for tyre deflation (for which there is a warning) is to taxi off at a maximum of 3kts (about 6kph), ideally after having stopped for an inspection by airport services.

[@diegoramirez8674]

What happened was literally explained. The smoke came from the burning rubber. Oversteering an airliner isn’t too hard. Especially after landing which means there’s less weight on the nose which would help it gain more traction.

Drifting in the A380. Your Pilot Dom Toretto

[@alberot11]

more understeer than drift

[@esharahnuma4142]

Thats understeer. Drift is basically oversteer. BUT oversteers better cuz you dont see the tree that kills you.

[@feynthefallen]

That nose gear started smoking before the turn even got going. I think it might have been blocked, and the oversteer was a reaction to the blocked front wheels not providing directional authority. It seems to have fixed whatever the problem was, because as the pilot rights the wheels, they turn normally.

[@diegoramirez8674]

If you take 2 seconds to zoom in you’ll see that the smoke started literally right as the gear started turning. Nose wheels are free spinning. There isn’t much that would stop them.

[@khubsaviation_yt]

Hey great video but I believe 01:19 or the 747-8F Qatar was at Amsterdam not London Heathrow

[@Sheepie1985]

A380 had a blown tire before landing, you can see this with the aerodynamic braking on touch down and it’s flat before vacating the runway. Not oversteering at all.

[@thecomedypilot5894]

Funny about the 2nd clip, a couple months ago that same thing happened to a 777 and it was everywhere on the news cause it was a Boeing, yet you never hear about this same thing happening to the Airbus.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Every time I see the words 'total eclipse' I'm reminded of the song by Klaus Nomi. If you've not seen a video of Klaus and the boys performing it, I urge you to do so. It's bonkers but brilliant, and to-o-o-tally unforgettable. [Klaus died in 1983, but his music lives on.] All together, now: 🎵"T-o-o-otal eclipse; It's a to-o-o-otal eclipse..."😁

[@TheGospelQuartetParadise]

I think you have it wrong about the A380 over steering the nose gear. It is obvious by watching the aircraft land that the pilots had a warning in the cockpit that there was a problem with the nose gear because he held it off the ground as long as he could in the flare. If the issue was with a blown tire or low tire pressure, the smoke was a result of him gently trying to clear the runway. Those old piston engines of planes like the C-160 will smoke when they wake up, like you sometimes cough when you wake up. And the nose gear was not destroyed. A destroyed nose gear would have collapsed, and there is no evidence of that because the video does not show whether the aircraft taxied to the gate under its' own power or received a tow.

[@MODECHARLIE]

Nope, no warming in the cockpit unless he burst a tyre. They just scrubbed tyres, likely some vibration would be felt at the front of the plane. Scrubbing tyres usually results from taking turns too fast

[@prostre7005]

1:06 as well as the open gear doors, we also see the A350’s ground spoilers don’t fully deploy post touchdown.

[@psalm2forliberty577]

Thats actually called "Understeering" in the Auto Motorsports vernacular: Def: "When front axle tires fail to maintain traction & the vehicle "ploughs" to the outside of the turning circle" It looks like here due to flat tire prob known ahead of landing. In car racing indeed the fine handling tuning is done by reducing air pressure to induce understeer to either axle OR by adding air pressure to increase traction towards oversteering condition. Most cars are set up from factory for mild under steering which is safest for average skill drivers in most settings. Most planes are set up for....flying lol !

[@laytonrim1489]

Right side nose gear tire looked deflated before the smoke started. No idea why the pilot did not slow down more before the exit point.

[@michaelkenny4124]

It looked to me like the wheel wasn't rotating and that was what was producing the smoke, I feel like the oversteer was trying to compensate for the lack of turn ability rather than the cause.

I don't think he actually "broke" the nose wheel steering components, but he definitely applied a lot of stress. It looks like he tried to turn too fast and it created tire smoke. After the aircraft slowed and stopped turning the nose wheel appeared to function as normal.

[@VictheSecret]

It looks like nothing of the sort. There was obviously an issue with the nose gear hence the pilot held it off the ground for as long as possible while wiping some speed off. If a pilot tried to oversteer a 380 the control system overrides the tiller input.

[@jake_]

The right tire of the nose gear was flat and disintegrated right before the turn and not because of it. Which explains why he set down the nose so gradually and gently during landing. At 0:30 it is still rolling down the runway straight and yet there is already smoke.
