[@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!!

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

They were both bad pilots -- flying at max speed in heavy turbulence is a great way to break the airplane -- they should have been slowing down, not speeding up. Poor judgement. Not only that but his Cockpit Resource Management (how well you work with your copilot), was terrible. The 1st Officer was also bad -- he allowed himself to be intimidated by the Captain, and didn't push back when the Captain broke the rules and exhibited poor judgement.

[@christopherfischer6998]

I have a feeling, (I could be wrong) that captain Whitaker (Denzel) caused the crash by over speeding in the turbulent air, causing damage to the elevator rivets and causing them to malfunction and causing the plane to go into an uncontrollable dive

It was the jack screw that stripped and failed.

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.

I was flying my f 22 raptor over Russia the other day when I got Rader locked by 2 migs I had to pull 14gs to get back to Nato friendly country and I was being chased by a China f67 which is a top secret aircraft they have I am lucky I had my glock 45 on my hip cause I used it to shoot down 2 of the 3 Jets after me the other I got rid of by throwing my parachute will Smith style

The engine sound was interesting. It felt like a continuously increasing pitch but actually it stays where it is. It gives you chills. nice!

[@official_gd_sadd_2025_yt]

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

"Ken Addams". Yep, Joey approves.

Alaska Airline 261 ( Captain Ted Thompson, First Officer William (Bill) Tansky Tried there best to save the plane. They were professionals they keep trying desipite of fearing the death and trying to save the plane. The voice of Captain Ted has patience while they were in danger. GOD bless them in next world. a family loose a father parent friend )

I watched 5 movies with Denzel Washington in one week, now i feel like it's always the same character that changes job continuously ahahah

1:48 Mistake: During take off you never have your left hand away from the yoke. During rotation speed? WTF

[@MuhammedAE]

Juan Lozano 😂😂 I noticed as well

[@memadmax69]

If you watch carefully during the "inverted stage" of the movie, instruments say climbing while he's diving.

[@thenewadventuresofhenry6998]

He's a great pilot, but he ruined himself...

[@piotrkuler2474]

I tought pilots meet in a crew room.

[@cun7us]

Exactly lol

[@conorfrankland7699]

Depends. In the morning they do. However on many low cost airlines. The crew will switch half way through the day and they won't bother meeting in a crew room

[@HoustonGamerTVHGTV]

Yes they do

[@petma5551]

Piotr Kuler Not for this flight

[@Cokie907]

I would definitely avoid the crew lounge if I was cocked. (Speaking hypothetically, of course) LOL!

[@ryanl.1085]

Ok, that plane looked like it was going way too fast on the runway... And why are the engines going “REEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” CONSTANTLY?!

[@habibifadhil6505]

All the passengers: AAaaArgGhh Only the Pilot: YiiiiHaaAaAaaa

[@rogeralvarado6060]

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?

[@5yncc]

3:43 aviation law says you shouldn’t do more than 250 knots underneath 10000 feet. Also, would ATC restrict all flights from departing if there was severe turbulence?

[@vixen0347]

No

[@iroczo6627]

For those people talking about the engine sound, remember is just a MOVIE, come on, it's Hollywood, stop criticizing, if you guys dont't like movies, its simple "Don't watch it", enjoy life!

[@Ynev87]

This rough take off caused the stabilizer to fail

[@santrader1707]

The screw was stripped due to lack of oil, this is loosely based on Alaska Airlines Flight 261 . It was said in the movie that the screw needed to be replaced if not it will fail after 12000 hours or something like that

For anyone interested, they are flying a Boeing 717 which essentially a modernised MD80.

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

[@RSTI191]

Denzel is such a great actor, he could play a fire engine and make you believe he really is one..

[@moosem1332]

Definitely an example the difference between text book and ole school experience and knowledge Thant can’t be taught in school

[@6828oaklawn]

I disagree: No pilot with old (not "ole") school experience would intentionally overspeed his aircraft. Or intentionally launch into a thunderstorm. Or fail to brief his flight attendant crew about departure turbulence. Or gigantically violate the sterile cockpit rule during the takeoff roll. Or lie to ATC regarding his altitude. Or ignore the well founded concerns of his first officer while failing to communicate a coherent plan to him. Nothing old school about that at all. This is a gigantic helping of made up Hollywood BS, ripping off what really happens at the airlines so the studio can make a buck. Here's what a real "old school" captain would have done. 1: Never in a million years show up drunk for work. 2: Brief his front and back end crews properly. 3: Delayed takeoff until the storm had passed. 4: Let the passengers know what's going on frequently, instead of subjecting them to an E ticket ride from Disney World. 5: Written up the airplane after exceeding multiple limitations which would likely have damaged it. "Old school" is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what Denzel was doing . But why let a little truth and accuracy get in the way of a good story, especially when the producers can make a buck doing it?

[@chocolatepowershovel]

Excellent. Scene and classic Denzel!

[@MonkPetite]

What a bs .. never speed up in that weather ..

[@winterffly8390]

Well he was drunk.

[@cun7us]

Arguably, you could say his cocaine and alcohol induced state made him fly the plane as best as he could. That was kind of the premise behind the movie.
