B777-200 Landing into Barbados

[@jesussaves4238]

So this is what the pilots see when landing, nice view !

[@shakey2634]

That is the strangest division of duties I’ve ever seen. Captain flew the aircraft until on final, then hands it to the first officer? First officer makes the landing but isn’t allowed to use reverse, that’s the captains job? Who’s steering during the roll out? A lot of control handing off during critical phases of flight.

Didn't think I'd ever see landing footage from the BA 777 cockpit into Barbados. I went in August, looks like the runway was still being refurbished in January

[@2pb]

Excellent! 😀

[@turbofan450]

As they were on final, I was wondering why the plane looked so high and why they were landing so far down the runway. Then I remembered that this video was taken when the runway was being refurbished. So a temporary displaced threshold was painted further down the runway. In effect, the runway was shorter for a few months.

Strangest touchdown procedure I have ever seen!

[@brucecanmore3788]

Nice to see second officer working!

[@CANFlight]

It almost looks like a simulator, very bumpy ride + camera. Nice view & landing though.

[@securethebag1613]

good day my friend. which side of the plane do u recommend sittin on with landing in barbados?!?! i look forward to ur response xD

[@TRPGpilot]

Both sides give a good view, left is mostly land, right side is land and sea

[@raymondforde6522]

Should do a landing in tobago

[@pedroperez-hx2xv]

Hola buenas,pregunto por que tienen que mirar donde esta el aeropuerto,si estan volando por instrumentos?-gracias por explicar-

[@Mr_Moras1]

wow

[@lynnetteagard7828]

Bumpy descent.

[@christopherwalker9767]

What's the audible warning at 3:55?

[@TB-um1xz]

It's called an Autopilot

[@j8501899]

What is the reg of this aircraft

[@theoasischannel6301]

G-VIIP or i think G-VIIR

[@shaanemillat]

@@theoasischannel6301 thank you! Boeing 777-200ER with General Electric GE90-90B Engines!

Is it always that bumpy landing in Barbados

[@renaissanceman340]

so who would have executed a "go around" if someone rolled onto the runway during their flare? F/O on controls but Capt taking thrust levers? that scares me to death...

[@adamwordsworth]

It's a monitored approach which is the airline's policy. On this fleet, Pilot monitoring for the sector becomes pilot flying for the approach from top of descent to 1000ft. Control is then switched again. On landing, and when safe touchdown is assured, pilot monitoring then applies thrust reversers. The control switching has nothing to do with FO or captain. It's only about who is PF/PM for the sector. It's not that easy to get you're head around, but it's airline policy.

[@adamwordsworth]

So in this video, FO would perform the go around from 1000ft AGL to landing. Once thrust reversers deployed, a go around is not an option. Above 1000ft, the Captain would have flown the go around.

@@adamwordsworth Interesting, but what is the practical reason behind this policy (i.e., what safety or operational improvements does it bring?)

[@adamwordsworth]

@@charlesnicholson7539 one of the rationales behind the policy is that the pilot flying the approach is always go-around minded and fully focused on the go around manoeuvre and not the landing - it is not their sector, so they would never have been the landing pilot, which will reduce 'land-itus' considerably (I'm fully aware that we should all be go around minded at all times anyway and that an unstable approach is an unstable approach so a go around should always be flown in these cases, but regardless, we are all aware that this doesn't always happen in the real world). Another benefit is the sharing of mental models and the increased Situational Awareness that this brings. The pilot flying the approach will brief P1 on how the approach will be flown, and where appropriate, P1 will put 'hard gates' and 'bottom lines' in place. If you are monitoring an approach that is being flown, generally, your SA and capacity will be higher. By flying a monitored approach, you are ensuring all briefed gates and bottom lines are met with the highest level of spare capacity (in theory!). My airline adopts a monitored approach policy for all approaches. My previous airline adopted a monitored approach for all low visibility approach and landings. My airline before that did neither. So the benefits and drawbacks can be argued from all sides. I just do what our OMs/FCOMs/FCTMs tell me to do!

Any reason why this is uplaoded in 480p? It's 2021...
