American Airlines MD-82 Landing at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

[@raythenation]

Hi Felix, this window seat footage is truly a work of art. The sounds, the cloud studies, the duration, its all enthralling stuff. I'm an artist and a big fan of McDD equipment, particularly the DC-9 family. I love this video

[@ldr1216]

This was an EXCELLENT landing!!!

[@DJAntonetti]

THAT WAS GREASED! GOOD JOB!

[@MichaelTheTerrible]

I love DFW. I love the noises of MD80's I always feel safe they are very consistant.

[@bluuvan]

Thanks for uploading! Great quality and nice landing!

[@hypnovox]

That looked like a really smooth landing. Great vid, enjoyed it.

[@musicandtrains]

Great audio too. I like to hear those subtle throttle adjustments. Means the cockpit crew's earning their keep. :)

[@javiersurfer]

I just love that sound, ; ),!!awesome vid!!

[@CharlieChan007]

Interesting. I flew in to DFW last week. I'm not so comfortable flying. It's Amazing feeling of relief when it finally lands.

[@azeleasylvian]

idk, i just assumed since there are so many flights these days with crashes. You know the news always talks about the bad and u hardly ever see the good. So thanks for sharing something good. :D

[@FelixMies]

@MrFlightnoob thank you for pointing that out to me, I always thought the term windshear described suddenly upcoming wind, no matter from what direction.

[@LucyFan23]

Beautiful landing.

[@FelixMies]

@1091Alcatraz Pilots sometimes have to do this in order to keep the aircraft steady when the wind does not blow constantly or changes its direction. In this case we were experiencing some strong headwinds which suddelny appeared and disappeared again (wind shear). In order to maintain the airspeed at a constant level, the captain was forced to do these power changes.

[@1091Alcatraz]

Hey Felix nice vid thanks for uploading a great quality video.Any reason why the pilot was hitting max thrust whilst in the air? and then just stopped and then just did it again?

[@mv2174]

Very good ! Amazing.

[@CrazyDan60]

DFW FTW!!1 MD 82 is my favourite plane ever MD 82 FTW

[@azeleasylvian]

Okay, yea always nice to see a good landing. I was scared for a moment that i was going to see something bad. PHEW!!!! :)

[@mamiller1980]

@1091Alcatraz This can also be done if he needs to cut throttle if the rate of descent is increased in oder to maintain a certain speed. Then when it flattens out a bit he will increase to keep from stalling.

[@musicandtrains]

Those engines just sing me to sleep when I sit back there.

[@Handiman544]

windshear can be dangerous if you get the tailwind, which the pilot compensates for with increased speed; then the middle which can be normal; and then a violent headwind which the pilot reduces engine speed to compensate for. This is extremely dangerous when close to the ground because there is no margin for error or compensation and the plane can be forced into the ground.

[@KennoCaptures]

NICE:D i loooove MD's

[@Natureboyta]

@MrFlightnoob a gentle correction to your comment. Windshear is typically (vertical and/or horizontal shear) when you have winds

[@secretmoongirl]

dallas ft. is such a big terminal it takes me 40 minutes just to find my gates.

[@geven08]

is there some kind of weather in this vid? looked beautiful out to me.

[@lordzboi]

nice video :)

[@Cinlouxx]

Does it really go that slow? sorry if this is a stupid question. I never been to an airport or been in a plane before.

[@saxmanb777]

Looks like you got the best seat in the house...err plane. Could you here anything afterwards?

[@wesjoe311]

what gave you that impression?

[@KingTriton1837]

Scary... just scary. :D

[@tagman1041995]

@Cinlouxx yes and no. i mean your acually going faster than it looks, because of how high you are. but when ur at cruising altitude you go about 500 mph. but then you slow down to between 100 and 200 mph. and takeoff speeds are at about 250mph. haha. but the plane will always stay in the air. haha.

[@trmv19]

love

[@KingTriton1837]

There was never an actual plane designated an MD-80. There are MD-81's, 82's, 83's, 87's and 88's. And the MD-90's and 95's (717's)

[@deetjay1]

@SouthOne525 Well...that's one word for it I suppose...LOL! Wild Texas weather is more to the point...

[@KingTriton1837]

I have a fear about sitting in the back of MD-80's. I always fear that the intake fans may somehow slice into the fuselage... I know, its ridiculous, but I still fly them when I have to. Its just something I fear may happen.

[@MsDoveandme]

It has happened.

[@mizuno291]

Man the back of an MD-80 is loud.

[@devinutube]

just strong head winds on final.

[@Cinlouxx]

@winerts same here.

[@SouthOne525]

hes talking about chicago lol dallas/fort worth weather is amazin

[@shadddey5]

the newss always talks about the bad yes but do you really think the'll talk about a good landing in dallas think about it...

[@FelixMies]

about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

[@ISOLATDINCIDENT]

I'll bet you were glad to be back in God's Country!

[@xXxSunnshineexXx]

D: scaryy!!! i dont like airplanes!

[@MaxtheGrande]

aa is worst company in world
