American Airlines plane makes wild landing at London Heathrow Airport

[@dancutler7941]

"Ooooh! Ooooh! Ooooh!" I must say, the commentary was more exciting than the actual video!🙃

[@robertwilliamson922]

Well…you know the old saying…: “Any landing that you can walk away from, is a good landing.” Thank you to the pilots. Job well done. ✈️ 👍🏼

[@PIlotrcm]

[@mickeysmiths]

I didn't know that old saying. Has it been around long? 😅

[@mlewin51]

Are you kidding me!? As an airline pilot myself that is an automatic go around. They risked the lives of the passengers attempting to still land. Absolutely disgusting.

Captain: What was that?? First officer: I saw a banana peel on the runway and wanted to avoid it without going around. Passengers: God forgive me for I am a sinner.

[@micia02]

I was on that plane and it felt WAY more terrifying than it looked! And to make matters worse, we circled the airport for about 30 minutes and went in for the wild landing with no announcement from the pilot. We were all sitting around in silence wondering what the hell was going on.

[@shakey2634]

Holding before going into Heathrow is a daily, normal occurrence, regardless of weather just due to traffic volume. If this was runway 27R there are warnings about turbulent air in the touch down zone when the wind is out of the southwest as it blows across the buildings. His recovery looked good with one exception, as the airplane came up, he gave it a hard push and just missed smashing the nose gear into the runway first, that could have been catastrophic, but they saved it. I’m sure it was quite thrilling for passengers and crew alike.

[@JFarinaSings]

It looks pretty terrifying to me! I can only imagine...

when i saw this on tv,i thought the guy on audio was inside the plane! what a landing.

[@raugusty5026]

While watching this video, my stomach was in knots and was screaming and praying from my couch! Sick by the time the plane landed. Great video and commentary. The poor pilots, staff and passengers. Grateful for a safe landing.

[@TangledWinston]

Anyone who doesn’t think this was a great landing isn’t a pilot. They saved what would have otherwise been a wake induced Go-Around. They did amazing and I would have loved to been on this flight.

[@gkg744]

This is one way to see it, however the correct way is the following, He should have proceeded with a go around as it is the safer choice the second the nose pitched up and the plane bounced that should have been the green light. In addition, he over corrected as seen by the spoilers deploying on the left wing before touching down and if that was the "correct amount" of input necessary to correct the path, that also indicates a go around scenario. Moreover, the plane almost landed on the nose wheel due to the pilot pushing the nose down which is a critical threat and error. In consequence, that wasn't a safe landing nor was it a great one as it shows a potential poor decision making and control. The correct way to do that would have been a go around. (this was an overview, but we should also consider other parameters as FOB and tiredness, which can also have an impact)

[@DonnabellaValentino]

They should have gone around.

[@thejackbox]

I'm a pilot, and I don't disagree but when the nose wheel dropped like that, it was definitely a pucker moment

[@m1co294]

Did you see the ANA 767 that had a creased fuselage cause the nose gear touched first? Could've happened to this plane. It was a good landing cause everyone atleast walked away from it, but it was far from the greatest and neither was it a safe option to land anyway.

[@Thereisalwaysmore]

When my mom told me about this, i thought the newsanchor got the video from a random KZbinr who possibly made it using computer graphics. But now knowing its real is crazy. But i have noticed other videos of LHR (London Heathrow) having these landing issues (because of the storm/winds). Do other London Airports suffer this? Like London Gatwick?

[@Adeleisha]

Don't know about London, but Leeds Bradford airport is also notorious for turbulent wind due to its location (on moorland). Used to live nearby and watching planes land on windy days was 😮

[@HavCal]

​@@AdeleishaLondon Heathrow only gets landings like this during storms. Due to it being in the east of the country most days the winds are calm in London compared to the rest of the UK.

@@FRanceSource thank you so much for expanding the context! 🙏 I’m fascinated to understand the vortices (vortex) he kept referencing. My tv is so old, everything looks like a French impressionist painting, so I watched it on a different device, where I could make out the twirls or funnel shapes under & then over the wings. Someday I hope to find the right educational video on this. It was amazing to see, and his voice narrating was priceless! I’m grateful to you for giving his name. Will definitely look him up. What a fabulous character. ♥️

[@Child0fStarSon0fSun]

[@sgtmattkind]

the pilot farted while landing, but didn't want to make it noticed, so he shook the plane a bit to make the co-pilot preoccupied with possible death. Very amazing and strategic move from a senior pilot

[@pinetriestofly]

A bit was missed in the other explanation. Heathrow had frankly horrible winds yesterday, and so did most of Britain. Many planes diverted or took multiple landing attempts, but this one just went for it despite the gusting wind.. you can see how that went

[@jamerican5460]

Listen man those pilots needs a raise ASAP good job

[@jamerican5460]

I studied aviation and aeronautics and let me say this cross wind landings can only be done successfully by seasoned pilots. Check the history of London's Heathrow airport cross wind is very prevalent and unseasoned pilots 9/10 time abort landings.

[@tabithabryan]

They got raises a few months ago.

[@louisel.sinniger2057]

Who in the world is making that commentary? Are you a pilot yourself? Sometimes when planes come down there can be weather conditions that are not noticed before hand. Considering, it looks like that pilot handled it well. Look at the weather conditions?! Looks like the pilot was “slipping it” to handle coming down.

Yes. They never should have pushed it over. That what caused the nose gear to strike first. Serious damage

[@simonbryant3828]

100%

[@andreasdewulf987]

Not a pilot either, but imo the really dangerous part was the leftward roll in the beginning (from wind). In case of a go-around, they'd need to potentially deal with the same situation from the start. (People here commented this was a flight from LA that already waited for another 30 min...) Once recovered from that roll, the worst risk was behind them (already slowed down, level, just feet from runway) IF their hands were steady enough, which seemingly was the case. However the entire landing should not even have been attempted with those unpredictable kinds of winds.
