STORM DARRAGH at Manchester Airport GO AROUNDS & CRAZY LANDINGS! 7/12/24

[@lucaas]

Stunning captures, thanks for sharing! Would you be okay with me featuring the Ryanair 737 at 4:20 in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description as before. Keep up the great work!

[@AviationUpclose]

@lucaas Thanks mate. Yeah of course that's all good with me, cheers!

[@3MinutesofAviation]

Awesome stuff! May I feature the Ryanair landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Have a great day, all the best to you!

[@AviationUpclose]

@3MinutesofAviation Thanks mate. Yeah that's fine go for it!

[@3MinutesofAviation]

@ Cool, thanks! Keep up the great work 🤙

[@DaveP668]

A friend was on the Ryanair from Faro. Convinced the wing was going to touch the runway and amazed they landed first time.

[@AviationUpclose]

It certainly looked close!

[@JelmersAviation]

Insane video man!

[@AviationUpclose]

Thanks mate!

[@gregster295]

Great video mate, really shows the pilots skill when the conditions become this challenging.

[@AviationUpclose]

Thanks mate!

[@BadRavenFPV]

Well Done, thanks for posting!

[@AviationUpclose]

Thank you!

[@JonathanWinton123]

Fantastic footage mate. Really pleased you managed to get the Norse B78 landing. Very tricky conditions there. Well filmed.

[@AviationUpclose]

Thank you Jonathan. Yeah those delays in Bridgetown definitely helped!

[@Falcon-Aviation]

Thank you for sitting in the storm all day long, amazing that you got the Etihad in the morning! I was at the airport too in the afternoon, almost the same spot. Got the Etihad arriving from FRA. Great catches!

[@AviationUpclose]

Thank you! Glad you got to see it as well!

[@Squidward1912]

I was on LH942 Yesterday. Yoh pilot was incredible

[@fiae2897]

Yes, congrats to the pilots 👏

[@AviationUpclose]

That must have been interesting!

[@RudivanGoch]

Done it again!! Fantastic footage!!!

[@AviationUpclose]

Thanks Rudi!

[@xxtinworm]

When some of your family are on board..it makes interesting viewing. Great filming

[@AviationUpclose]

Thank you!

[@planespottingringway]

Great stuff mate!

[@AviationUpclose]

Thanks!

[@AtoZaviation11]

Hi there! I just watched your video, and that catch was incredible! Would it be alright if I featured it in my next video? I’ll make sure to credit your channel in the description and include a link to the original video. Let me know if that works for you. Thanks so much! 😊

[@billionbear]

That Ryan Air at 4:22 🫡

[@fredfred2363]

Do they have skid plates on the lower wing tips?

[@AviationUpclose]

It was an interesting one!

[@ciaradonnelly4627]

Why did they not go around, looked like a possible wing strike!

[@markfortuin7111]

Just incredible. Awesome footage.

[@AviationUpclose]

Thanks!

[@carmelademir1193]

God bless all our wonderful pilots 🙏

[@allanfinch5090]

Anybody would think they were putting their lives on the line I can assure you there not just ask any pilot 🤔

[@josephinestaunton9301]

🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@AviationUpclose]

Pilots just being pilots and doing their jobs to a very high standard across the board!

[@kevin19358]

10:53, Wait, after 2nd fail landing, the plane diverted to Frankfurt to refuel, before flying to Manchester? Is it heavy fog, strong winds or both?

[@AviationUpclose]

@kevin19358 The first two approaches were aborted due to low level windshear. The aircraft then diverted to its nominated alternate of Frankfurt

[@kevin19358]

I see.

[@mach1nefan]

5:48… WOW!

[@AviationUpclose]

Indeed!

[@eurowebo]

I was on LH942 from FRA and it was terrifying as a passenger 😅

[@fiae2897]

Wow, it must have been 🙏🏼

[@AviationUpclose]

Yeah that certainly must have been interesting!

[@AviationAirplaneTV]

Great Video new sub

[@AviationUpclose]

Thank you!

[@jamesluc4138]

Easy jet at 8 looked like done all hard work

[@AviationUpclose]

Potentially a low level windshear warning. Mandatory go around from any altitude!

[@AviationUnscriptedUK]

Cheers for the fantastic videos! Would it be alright if I featured the Ryanair 737 in my next episode? You’ll get credit in the video with a link in the description.

[@AviationUpclose]

@AviationUnscriptedUK Thanks mate yeah that's fine go for it!

[@AviationUnscriptedUK]

@AviationUpclose Many thanks.

[@ohareplanespotting]

Remarkable!

[@AviationUpclose]

Thanks!

[@CloudChasersAviation]

Would I be able to use your clip in my compilation? I'll make sure to give credit by including your channel name original video in the description and on screen!

[@AviationUpclose]

Yeah mate of course you can

[@tomisalwaysflying641]

Nice! I was on BA1394. Looks like our flight wasn't even the worst :D

[@AviationUpclose]

Thanks! Yeah you were the earliest of the 7 go arounds. Looked like a Windshear encounter

[@tomisalwaysflying641]

@@AviationUpclose It was indeed

[@brianliggett9087]

always thought dozens of computers aboard aircraft could in split second timing correct the trim and yaw in very windy conditions , like abs on a car can react much faster than any human .

[@brumstar07]

Surprisingly not, they react far too slowly. I've just finished 5 days flying as a short haul pilot and the only way you can react quickly enough in these conditions is visually out the window and through feeling through the "seat of your pants". The aircraft computers are far too slow to suggest a response which is why autopilot crosswind limits are only 20 knots

[@AviationUpclose]

I'll agree with @brumstar07 here. I can't think of any aircraft's FCOM that recommends a fully automatic landing in strong and gusting winds. Infact as he stated the demonstrated maximum crosswind limit for the autoland is significantly less than for a manual landing. For example with the Boeing 737-800 fitted with winglets. Given a dry runway the maximum crosswind component for a manual landing is 33 knots compared to 20 knots for an automatic landing.

[@brumstar07]

@brianliggett9087 Also to be clear, those computers are correcting the trim and yaw, we don't use the rudder until the very final stages to line up with the centreline. But as everything in aviation takes years to certify, those computers were probably designed in the late 90s, even on the modern NEO aircraft. They don't possess the computing power of your smartphone! Also in aviation it's about insurance and liability, no manufacturer will put their neck on the line certifying an autopilot to fly in these conditions when you get sudden wing drops at 50ft. Much cheaper to blame pilots if it goes wrong!

[@AviationMan38]

Hello what camera do you use in your videos ?

[@AviationUpclose]

Hi pal. Panasonic HC-VX980

[@AviationMan38]

Thanks for that I’ll check it out 👍

[@ViMa-m4n]

Entertaining from a distance but who would want to be in their shoes?!

[@AviationUpclose]

Me for one!

[@ViMa-m4n]

@@AviationUpclose what's the catch?

[@fredfred2363]

Some of those flares looked like pigeons landing!

[@AviationUpclose]

Certainly interesting landings!

[@paulnewsome6289]

Cheeses Priced! This is inviting disaster! Are people really so desperate to travel that they risk life and limb? Pure greed on the part of the airlines.

[@AviationUpclose]

@paulnewsome6289 Technically speaking every time you set foot outside you are risking life and limb. As you could walk into the street and get hit by a bus. All airlines and aircraft manufacturers set out specific weather limitations to ensure safe flight operations in adverse weather conditions. No aircraft will commence an approach to land or start a takeoff if these limits are exceeded. All personnel in aviation (Myself included as I am a pilot & work in airline ground operations) are trained thoroughly and regularly on the best and safest practices to operate in all conditions.
