The jet engine sound its just…. So…. GOOD it’s really satisfying to hear

[@gozur7374]

As a long time airline captain, I can tell you that everything about this scene is made up Hollywood bull stein. Trust me, the LAST thing you do in moderate turbulence is speed up. That intensifies the effect of the turbulence on the airplane and you risk potential structural damage. Furthermore, no Pilot in his right mind would thread the needle like that between two thunderstorms when you could easily take a 45 degree turn to the right and go around the entire system. Better yet, just stay on the ground and wait 20 minutes for the system to clear out of the way. But that would make for a boring story. At least the acting was good….

[@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor]

I'm not a pilot but the thing I find unrealistic is the sound of an engine spooling up during the entire storm and suddenly when they get out of the clouds and into sunny weather that engine sound fades

Normal Ryan Air landing..

[@leeeastwood6368]

why does everyone, (including me), hate Ryanair so much? can't just be the way they slam the plane down at luton airport!!!

[@Samjones11203]

It is much safer to land hard than soft... If you want an explanation please ask me

[@leeeastwood6368]

Sam, there is a hard landing. then there is ryanair!! i spoke to another passenger after the last time i flew with them. he said he always thought he had crash landed!!

[@Samjones11203]

But just have some common sense for a moment please... I am telling you as a training captain with over 13000 hours on the 737, that a hard landing is much safer than a soft one, as there is less chance of floating and using up more runway. In the case of Luton, the landing distance is only about 1300m, which is very little, so a hard landing needs to be performed to ensure a safe stopping distance. Do not get carried away with people saying that a soft landing is perfect, because if you are on a flight that has a oft landing, that was a bad landing. I quote from the flight crew operations manual produced by Boeing, "All pilots must ensure that a safe stopping distance is achieved upon landing. This is primarily done as a result of a firm/hard landing being achieved. Boeing© developers recommend that a landing should not be softer than approx. 1.2G and no greater than approx. 1.8G (B738 MLG approx. 3.8G). The B738-CFM56-7B27 should achieve a stopping distance with no less than a subtraction of 15% of the calculated stopping distance on the Boeing© OPT, and the landing distance must not exceed an addition of 8% to the calculated stopping distance." This shows that the 737 is meanr to be landed hard. IF you try to land soft, then a lot more than 8 percent will be added to the landing distance

[@leeeastwood6368]

common sense is for people like you! me, I'm a miserable old fart who wants to land on a feather pillow!! :-) seriously, I,ve flown with a few different airlines. while I've never landed on a feather pillow, twice with Ryanair I've limped off the aircraft with a bad back. if I have a choice of airlines, I always try to fly with a US airline! just my opinion of course! oh, and I'm British in case you were wondering!!

It was the jack screw that stripped and failed.

The best part is the applause 👏 on take off not landing , the landing is another story.

I knew I shouldn’t have bought that ticket off Groupon

I love being in plains and storms. It's exciting. It's awesome when the plane's going up-and-down and to the side. It's like a rollercoaster. The only thing you gotta fear is death. But when you die, you're not gonna feel it. Why worry about it?

Funny how sober he gets when it’s time for some serious flying.

[@mikophilo348]

it's a talker....maybe 2 action scenes at most if you're into wordy movies, this one's for you bud

[@rmsbritannicfan9338]

this has to be like the best real looking cockpit in any airplane movie

[@aseem7w9]

It's probably a real simulator

[@reminiscer15]

@@aseem7w9 I was thinking the same thing. I saw some behind the scenes footage and I know the cabin scenes were taken in a set.

Good piloting

I was flying a V-tail Bonanza over the Donner Pass one New Years eve, on a long distance flight from Florida, when I encountered the most severe turbulence I've ever flown in, w/ 50-100 ft. changes in elevation occurring in the blink of an eye. Thankfully, I always wear my safety belt or I would have been slammed into the roof and maybe knocked out. As it was, I came into Rialto airfield w/ 50-60 knot cross winds and just managed to put it down and requested assistance w/ the tie down, as I was flying alone. It took everything I and the flight deck guy had to secure it, but after 10 minutes it was secured, but it wasn't necessarily on the ground, but kinda floating on its tie downs. When I did a post-flight inspection the next day, I found the port wing tip was missing its red lens and the housing was bent in a bit. It only dawned on me why that lens was missing once I was in the air again - that lens had made contact w/ the ground when I made my landing!?! My heart beat a little faster for a few minutes, but I remember smiling to myself, knowing/feeling I had somehow cheated death.

[@CarbonMonoxxide]

Man, Hollywood be making some strong, classified engines for this amount of rpms for only 60% thrust.

[@malibustacy3606]

Denzel is a pretty cool dood and an enjoyable actor to watch.

[@official_gd_sadd_2025_yt]

It looked like the Space Shuttle when it was re-entering the Earth's Atmosphere!

[@camschuster5947]

Top 3 greatest actor to ever grace the screen

[@キムケイ-k9f]

デンゼルワシントン一番好きな名優です。 黒人という事で、なかなかアカデミー賞の授賞には時間がかかりました。 若い時、凄いハンサム。！！！！！！！

[@wellifthemediasaysit]

Best scene of the film! Better than the crash scene!

[@bwekfast9197]

The man be doing his hair in the cockpit 😂

[@michelemarcolin2548]

Having a co-pilot like that every flight must be a real drag...

[@kaydens6964]

Its Hollywood co-pilot.
