As an airline pilot, that looks like wake turbulence to me. Usually pretty sudden and strong then quickly dissipates.

[@NeilDjents]

SenorCrazylegs yeah, they are scary. What if we intersect a wake turbulence from the side? Does it effect the pitch instead of roll?

[@SenorCrazylegs]

@@NeilDjents I don't believe I've ever heard of an aircraft being turned over it's nose. If you crossed the wake vortex sideways, the effects would be transient, as here. You'd merely cross that vortex and exit into 'clean' air. Yes, this may act potentially in pitch rather than roll, but it would be extremely quick. It would be more pronounced following another aircraft from below on the same line. You could remain within the vortex and it might even turn you inverted depending on your size vs the aircraft causing the wake.

They were in a turn for quite a while, could’ve been a one time hold by ATC, and if perfectly coordinated, they probably flew into their own wake.

[@Fallguy767]

Joshthedude22 that is actually very possible. It depends on the winds at the time. Usually air sinks but if they were descending while turning a 360 then yeah they could have hit their own wake which would be rare but cool to actually experience

[@sabastian20]

Joshthedude22 you deserve all the scholarships in the world.

[@gerardmoran9560]

Usually the wake descends at 300 to 700 feet per minute. In a holding pattern you're more likely to hit the wake from the traffic 1000' above you. It wouldn't be too bad since it would be about two minutes old and dissipating.

[@ronaldsimmons9517]

The aircraft began its turn at about 1:03 when the starboard flaperon and aileron panels were lowered to give the starboard wing extra lift for the left turn (the opposite would be occurring on the port wing). As the aircraft is maneuvering for its landing phase, it likely caught a sudden shift of airflow (sudden change of angle of attack of airflow) causing a minor stalling effect on the wing. It was most likely the turbulence associated with a shifting low pressure system (can see some extensive lower cumulus clouds and more turbulence lower in the descent). You can see the autopilot try to correct the movement by lowering the flaperon and aileron panels to raise the wing, then raise the panels with the assistance of the outboard spoilers to try and lower the wing because of the over-correction. Amazing how sensitive the autopilot system is.

[@mauritsvanderpol7415]

In addition to that, minor effects do not make a plane like a 747 move like that. The only time I see it, is when I encounter a thermal in a glider. That was no move for a 747 in a minor effect on airflow shift. A bigger amount of energy is needed for a correction that looks like that on such an airplane!

Wake turbulence. Everyone knows that the approach to Heathrow invariably features the racetrack holding pattern. Probably flew into the wake from another craft ahead or 1000 feet above. Great views! But every time I’ve traveled to Heathrow, we’ve landed on the 9s and taken off on the 27s, so I’ve never seen this scenery.

[@rawdawgg_]

You never land on the 9s.. everyone knows you land on the 10s and take off on the 69s to run parallel with the 88s

That instant reaction is either the autopilot doing what it's programmed to do or of a pilot who's sharper than a razor blade. Whichever one it was shows you that through the often horrible experiences of other pilots before them, we have learnt to overcome pretty much everything. This is why modern aviation is as safe as it is now, breathtaking technology and superman pilots!

[@gooner72]

My reply to my own comment....... I'm fairly sure it was the pilot who corrected the drop as take offs and approaches/landings are 99% of the time done by the flight crew, these 2 procedures are what the pilots enjoy the most.

[@FrostbitexP]

@@gooner72 No dude, its 100% on autopilot at this point in approach. Auto pilot is typically turned on until final approach (like 2 minutes before landing).

Investigation will only conclude what exactly happened. BBC mentioned Air Pocket but in reality air pockets don’t exists. What you are seeing in this video is a wake turbulence caused by another aircraft. Singapore Airlines might have experienced a downdraft which is common inside a cumulonimbus cloud. BBC also talked about Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) as shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnW0aWdpes5rms0si=k4f8MRQAXu7KBIPT but CAT is caused by a jet stream without a visible cloud and I don’t believe it can cause a plane to drop 6000 feet.

Giovanni maybe you can help me. I fly often, at least once a month. Turbulence doesn’t usually alarm me. I was on this flight with my three children just this past week. Less than two minutes after take off, our plane hit the most odd turbulence and We did a violent roll back and forth but mostly to the left, and a slight drop forward before the pilots quickly gained control of the aircraft. The roll was the most terrifying and was truly traumatic for myself and my 11 year old son. Everyone was yelling and scared to death! I asked the flight attendant what that was and she said she had no idea but figured severe wake turbulence. It was a night flight. Is it possible that’s what it was? Do you think we were actually in a dangerous situation? I’ve flown at least 100 times and have never felt that before. Thanks so much.

[@bettigio]

@@jessicasteele7829 Usually violent banking the aircraft, it's an indication of wake turbulence from a previous heavy aircraft taking off.

"Air pockets" don't exist. It looks like your plane hit a downdraft. It usually happens near clouds because of more turbulent air in the vicinity.

DemonLord4 The term air pocket if misused (devoid of air), certainly doesn’t exist yet the term has caught on. The term comes from very early days of aviation. Today the meaning of air pocket really is when a plane is experiencing varying amount of airflow I.e when warm air is rising and cool air is descending. Downdraft are in fact dangerous.

[@TwoBrosRC]

@@ABitOfEverythingHD They can definitely be dangerous but they're not much of an issue when you're descending. At a certain point above the ground is where it becomes dangerous - you lose the ability to climb out of a downdraft when you only have a few moments with which to react.

@@jiafeiqueen I mean, just kind of things like making 'Titanic' references cos that's obviously the only point of reference they have for anything ship-related, calling it a 'boat', that kind of thing. I tend to tune out though.

[@TheAirplanejunkie]

That was nothing i experienced Severe turbulence followed by a Huge Air Pocket where the Plane Actually Plunged down so bad everyone was screaming on board not me i thought it was fun, Ok i was scared a little but fun hehe it was many many years ago on a OA B742

[@treydadzie5615]

Tim Miles there’s no such thing as an air pocket it was the turbulence its self. The aircraft doesn’t actually “plunge” it just feels like it because of the downward shift of air.

[@jurnee-y]

What mount do you use and what camera ?

[@ABitOfEverythingHD]

Hi Babs, no mount just holding iPhone X resting my hand on the window. I try not to push on the window too hard otherwise you’ll notice a lot of vibration which could be to do with iPhone’s image stabilisation.

[@khs17]

Wing views are always my favourite videos, thank you for the upload. High five 🙌 from Australia 🇦🇺

[@raysmetaltracks6782]

Kind of impressive to see how fast the autopilot makes aileron adjustments to compensate.

[@DeanT1987]

I thought the same. Instantaneous corrections.

[@raysmetaltracks6782]

@@DeanT1987 Right? It looked like the corrections were happening right as the plane starts to hit the rough air. Almost even a split second before it?

[@DeanT1987]

Rays Metal Tracks yea scary quick. I guess that’s part of the turbulence suppressing system?

[@benethicks]

I don’t like flying with windows open because I get even more paranoid😂😂

[@enlightenyourself8555]

I always take the seat beside the window so i can sleep in peace but i always close it lol

[@genysishoward8084]

I like flying next to the window with it open but during that turbulence it only stats open because I'm holding on the the arm rest and don't want to move but I know exactly how you feel I get anxiety on plains

[@kurrycane1483]

I like the view so i sit next to the window often

[@turtlegaming2098]

Air pockets... I go through them everyday in class at college

[@MrAnniebaby]

Benét Hicks if you had the windows open you’d probably be sucked out

[@mk8master629]

Other than the drop it looks stunning.

[@Cairoweaver26]

It would’ve been way more rough if the Captain or First Officer was hand flying.

[@nv_music1987]

This happened twice on my very first flight. I was scared shitless before even getting on the plane. Surprised I didn't get a heart attack from the drop.

[@Resistculturaldecline]

I want a window seat, to watch the wings work for hours on end.

[@36thstreethero]

You were descending in a holding pattern and hit the wake of the plane in front of you. Believe it or not but while the was in a left hand turn, the ircraft sensed a lack of roll in the left hand direction so it applied more @1:45, immediately after it corrected with an abrupt right hand correction.

[@rawdawgg_]

Well ok maverick

[@heatherstub]

What you heard before that drop were the flaps coming up in preparation for landing. Sometimes, there's no way to predict it, but it appears that you may have hit a little bumpy air. Also, whenever a plane turns, you may even feel it banking towards the turn you're making, and you may also feel the plane as it's righting itself.

[@miaquinn5791]

I have such a fear of flying, I literally break out in a rash. I haven’t flown in over 20 years. When I did fly I tried to play it cool, I was on an American Airlines flight, we fell a few feet, my stomach felt like I was on a roller coaster ride. The girl next to me squeezed my hand and yelled. We both looked at each other. I was also scared, but after it stopped she said sorry.

[@Apodalont]

An air pocket? There are no "pockets" of air as it's basically everywhere, only areas where the temperature and moisture levels vary. That's what causes bumpy flying hence why it's most common in cloud layers.

[@markstockford9109]

The 787s flaps don't seem to have much rearward extension, they seem to just hinge downwards like simple flaps on a small plane such as a Cessna.

[@visionist7]

Single slot like the SP

[@Chumpster1981]

Pilots are amazing.

[@RonaldoRReis]

Engineers are amazing.That was done by autopilot.

[@katanayuke]

Now that is a beautiful responsive wing 😊 Dreamliner

[@raihanyudanto8469]

Same man, i was on 737 and that happen while decend Scares sh*t out of me

[@gilliantracy7991]

Believe it may have been wake turbulence. I’ve experienced it and it looked and felt just like that! Thanks for the video!

[@legohead23432]

I experienced this feeling right after going through some more turbulence than usual and I though I was a goner lol

[@phx6412]

the quality is melting my eyes

[@1topfueldrag]

caught a glimpse of a Concord

[@samiz3936]

What's the tutting for?

[@Steamyy_]

2:42 beautiful noise of flaps extending

[@Alvin-eq5rc]

That’s a really nice view of London

[@ABitOfEverythingHD]

Thanks Alvin, I am glad you liked the video and the views of London. My personal favourite view is when you see london in between clouds as we turn right. I will be uploading another video some point soon that I filmed at night time over london landing at Heathrow.
