Outstanding recovery!!! Hope the PAX are ok!!! The Queen of the skies is one tough bird!!!

[@BidenOwesMeGasMoney]

Yes, the landing gear saved them

[@bradcrosier1332]

Actually it was initially a terrible recovery. Notice how after the first bounce the nose pitches sharply down, which is exactly the wrong thing to do (doing so is what led to the fatal FedEx accident in Tokyo some years back). The pilot is out of phase with what is happening to the aircraft, and instead just needs to hold the pitch attitude from the initial bounce and let the aircraft settle back onto the runway. Instead, by pushing over during the bounce, the second touchdown is much harder than it would have been had the pitch attitude been maintained. The decision to go around was VERY appropriate, but note how extreme the pitch attitude has to be to prevent a third touchdown - not desirable, but it appears necessary given the mishandling of the initial bounce. The whole thing is rather ironic, because the B-747 is incredibly easy to land (at least the -400 I flew) - a very slight flare is all that’s needed because that huge wing generates so much lift in ground effect.

I was once on a flight landing at an airport in Poland. It was like 3 am and the moment we touched the ground the pilot suddenly lifted the plane and we were back in the sky. That feeling was crazy. Turned out there was an animal on the runway. We had to turn around.

Bad landings happen, but for a pilot that has reached the cockpit of a major airline wide body aircraft to push the nose down on that bounce is unacceptable! That had the look of the captain jumping in to assist and initiate the go around.

Haha right? Last time that happened the nose wheel broke off, plane was written off and the captain was fired lol

[@timmurphy1215]

Thanks, Amelia Earhart…..

[@bradcrosier1332]

@dhones - My thoughts exactly.

[@bradcrosier1332]

@@Sarpooll- No, actually the aft spar failed due to the second impact, causing the wing to fail. The other wing, still producing lift, rolled the aircraft onto its back, killing the crew of the FedEx MD-11 freighter in Tokyo. It’s not a trivial thing, this could have easily been an accident had they not gone around when they did.

[@Chatosvideos]

What caused that rough landing? A pilot has to have that feel that you are part of a plane and just glide smoothly with it. Never carry any personal baggages with you when landing.

[@mariuskoen1]

I would think that with so much automation that a situation like this would be avoided. I would understand if there were heavy winds but in this case it looked marginal. I don't understand how this could have happened in a modern plane, low wind and in broad daylight.

[@sbrunner1234]

There could be different reasons: estimated the height above the runway wrong and arrested to late, or a gust stalled the plane.

[@redlense4]

Good choice. If something is out of norm, just hit toga (take off/go around) & try again. Maintenance will inspect the gear that's probably fine just as a precaution and move on.

[@Anver939]

So. What’s really happened. Please elaborate.

[@hairwegoagain4222]

I love Lufthansa service inflight but ALL of their landings are hard and I was told that was because most of their pilots come from aircraft carrier backgrounds so they are used to dropping down at the last minute because they have the tether that stops them but for commercial airlines that's not so comfortable. They need to train or either get pilots that know how to land smoothly by dropping in sooner. I was terrified each time I flew with them at the landings. 😱😱😱
