I was on a Southwest flight and I swear, the pilot just dropped us out of the sky onto the runway, no easy 3-point landing, and not only did we almost fold up on ourselves when he engaged the brakes, we bounced a couple of times.

Wind shear at touchdown!!! Great piloting skills!!! Hope the PAX are OK!!!

[@andrewkuoppala3925]

poor judgement by AA pilots

[@6z0]

Wind shear that caused a PIO, which is why this hard landing actually happened. He will without a doubt have to go through some simulator checks for windshear escape maneuvers as well as dealing with pio. I wouldn’t say “great”. But at least he got it down safely

[@dan_grey]

No windshear. Inexplicably the pilot put in some left wing down, and then a lot of left wing down, and while cleaning up their mess in roll lost control of pitch and went into PIO.

[@bernoulli1]

The landing was actually text book stable. It was not until the flair where a gust caused the left wing to deflect downward. Once the mains touched the spoilers deployed. Yes they could have elected to go around at that point but that would most likely have ended up causing a tail strike. In my opinion they made the correct decision on getting it on the ground. Good job, bad circumstances.

[@donc9751]

Pretty wild landing! Thank God they got that occillation stopped and held the nose off after the 1st bounce! I used to feel the wingtip vortices, even thought possibly some of what i thought were wing tip vortices were generated by the air out of the engines when they used to fly in right over the top of me at where i watched them landing near the Columbia river just east of pdx. Sometimes those vortices would start up really strange looking/acting tornadoes on top of the river even. They were that strong. And they really feel weird when they drop right down on you so you can feel them when youre in the path. I was aware of them because I sat next to the river just off a boke path, and if a jogger happened to run thru 1 without realizing what was going on, it could be a little confusing to them. Very strange effect to actually feel. Loved the reaction of Jerry! Just hopped over from the Blanco Lirio channel who did a video on this that really explanes it well. He's a FO on a 777.

[@maxthelab8457]

It all adds to the excitement of flying. I once landed at LHR in a BA Tristar from Paris in a stonking storm back in the 80's. We used the 3rd runway that crosses the airport because things were so bad - not sure if it's still regarded as a runway. The landing was much like that in this clip. The plane's hold was full of Beaujolais Nouveau so the pilots were under strict instruction not to crash the plane. Must admit quite a few of the passengers were shitting themselves on the approach.

Actually caught this live! By the way, re "shed affect" that was being discussed around that time, you may want to look into Winkle Brown's experimental (intentional) wheels up landing in a Vampire on a suspended rubber runway. He put the somewhat heavy landing down to the final approach being between two hangers.

[@MrCraigNic]

TOGA would auto-retract the speed brake so he could have gone round....if he wanted to 😉

It's called reducing power. Less power = less airflow over the wings = less lift. Gravity will take over eventually

[@nicholasmarino1733]

Hi, as a pilot in the same situation, I would have executive a go around rather than try to save the landing. Excellent job. You were very lucky.

[@gatmguru1]

Lucky is an understatement. NDI inspection at next letter check is going to find some issues given nose wheel landing. When the sink rate increased prior to touchdown it became an unstable approach and the correct procedure was to press the TOGA button. That is why engineers designed the button in the first place to make it easy to go around and try again.

[@atv7222]

Having watched Mentour Pilot quite a bit it takes a second or two to spool the engines up to get enough thrust to take off again, not sure they had that kind of time. Disclosure: I'm not a pilot.

[@thegotlandisfarmer8774]

@@atv7222from my counting from the moment the aircraft lost lift on the left wing to the nose gear touchdown it was around 4-6 seconds which should be enough time to get the engines up on speed and do a go around, I believe the pilots just wanna challenge there Cowboys instinct in this landing

[@givmi_more_w9251]

@@atv7222 Those jet engines take longer than 1-2 seconds, especially those huge ones on the 777. They were just before touchdown, probably got a bad gust, aircraft already in a low energy state with low airspeed ... it's easy to armchair pilot with hindsight.

[@gatorfdx]

Considering all things, that was a successful landing. Despite what it may look like to non-pilot viewers, sometimes we have to "stick" the landing to bleed off the extra speed (energy) we need to carry for these types of landings. In heavy crosswind landings, extra speed is needed to counteract the negative impact of wind. It looks scary and out of control, however, every pilot is trained to perform these landings. In the event of a low fuel situation, you may have no choice but to land, even in a high crosswind. @hvrijsse is absolutely right! In 36 years, I've never heard a box or package screaming in the back! Earlier in my career @ Delta, that was a different story! Lol (Of course it could have been because I was brand new pilot)
