A380 was the fighter jet bro

[@echo-channel77]

The Lear used a common technique called forward side slipping. You jam on the rudder and apply opposite aileron while pointing the nose down, this increases a lot of drag, but allows you to maintain approach airspeed, neither increasing or decreasing, so you drop right down onto the glide path. It's fun to do and competely safe.

[@Teh_Random_Canadian]

Don't think you are supposed to do it 50 feet of the ground and slam into the runway

[@echo-channel77]

@@Teh_Random_Canadian It's more than 50 feet, when he starts he's closer to +100-200 AGL, and yes, that's precisely where you do it, on short final. I've done it countless times.

Whoever filmed the Lear knows nothing. That was a very nicely done forward slip. It allows you to drop a lot of altitude in a hurry while maintaining your line of travel and not gaining speed. That is a well trained and skilled pilot at work.

[@BANSHEEBOY_1974]

Well since you know Everything .. sure you'd know that the poor bast@rd was just filming some planes landing, and this channel took his video, to use in this LAME 3:00minutes of BoRinG wasted time. Pretty harsh comment saying he knows 'nothing' just from an 'OMG' ..

I enjoyed that cross wind take off. Watched many many videos of crabbed approaches. I don’t think I have seen it on departure before

[@neuronbob]

Came here to say the same. That was amazing to watch. It adds to the saying. “Planes want to fly”. Truly physics and pilot talent at work here.

[@72xafalcon]

The Airfrance plane wasn't doing a rejected take off, it was doing a brake test as the thrust reverses weren't deployed to help slow it down and the 747 cargo created alot of smoke from the tyres because it landed heavily

[@Stu_2112]

Flying into or out of London City is quite an experience. The short runway makes for some heavy braking immediately after touchdown

As a young skateboarder, we'd often use the term "getting out of shape" referring to moments when your approach or landing during certain stunts weren't very well aligned. That term applies very well to this episode.

Having worked on these big birds as a fuel-systems tech in the past, if any regular passengers ever looked at the aircraft's tires, even though they are safe and the cracks in them are regularly inspected with a gauge, they'd probably never want to fly ever again. 🤣

[@analogman9697]

If I'm not mistaken, they are sometimes recapped tires...real bad idea. IMHO.

Not an issue at all. Stop putting fear into people´s minds. The primary concern in these cases relates to debris left on the runway.

Perhaps he was dealing with a gusting wind and lost airspeed too fast. Or he was landing longer than planned and needed to kill some momentum.

For the A350 with the smoking hot brakes. Were they not going fast enough for thrust reversers to help aid them in slowing down?

[@aeroman5239]

It is obviously photographed at Toulouse, where the A350 is manufactured. This was likely a 90-knot Rejected Takeoff (RTO), which is part of the pre-flight plan before the initial test flight of the A/C. You want to find out if the braking system works on the ground first before taking to the sky on the initial flight in case there's an issue.
